How do you deal with over-representation if you don't want to increase headcount? Fire the over-quota demographic so that their numbers match the general population? That seems to be the way most diversity initiatives want to solve the problem.

What's strange is that they're investigating two international terrorists who committed mass murder and all they're talking about is their fucking iPhone?

What if after all this drama and forcing everyone to install backdoors and disable encryption they find out that they used it only to play Clash of Clans and take pictures of food?

This is so true and it is getting ridiculous. I recently tried Mortal Kombat for iOS and I just wanted a fighting game, but instead it was full of 'Kards', 'Koins', 'Kostumes', all of which you could pay for. It actually felt like work, not a game.

Actually modafinil is a schedule 4 stimulant (which matters in some states). And Pharm.D.s can get into an agreement with Physicians to dispense medication on their behalf as they see fit, it's called Collaborative drug therapy management.

Yes. There is some minor paperwork involved for them, which is why you should ask nicely, and YMMV.

I don't know how he got adderall, but modafinal and the other drugs he mentioned are either schedule IV to Rx Only, so if you ask a pharmacist nicely they can give it to you. (That's how I got modafinil when I was in college)

Yes, the US has only recently started warming up to cannabis. It's ironic considering the US strong armed the world into banning Cannabis (starting with the International Opium Convention). Now they're claiming to be more progressive by fixing issues they created.
