6x sounds too clickbaity.

but sure, still lets make to account by other "legal" substances (alco, tobacco, cocaine, pharmaceutics and other "lifestyle choices" infecting cardiovascular system) and way they are consumed(smoked, ingested, pure or with say tobacco)

would love see data for a group who consumes cannabis by ingestion and especially not via smoking!

also- do they differ different thc/cbd grades used (high/low thc, "medical")?

im regards "research demonstrates something does this.." for many years alcohol was considered "healthier" over non consumption, just becauses non-drinkers were together with those of abstinent ex-alcholics.. thus average score was lower than for those who drunk minimal amounts and were considered "healthier".

Only meaningful info in whole this is that it was a production of 30'000 units.

Any guesses on DEFCON's budgets "targets" and EE billed extra hours (including rates) anyone? :?

what about "self freeing" pointers?

you allocate and must / are extending its lifetime all the time or else it frees itself! very predictable behaviour of memory collection.

you get pointer and keep it allocated by "extending" its lifecycle.

trust me- there are lot of things that are barely mentioned in high school, also curriculum is not updated as often as the science uncovers something new and biology is moving forward with a break neck speed at the moment, imo.

Like, you couldn't learn about CRISPR editing before 2000.. because it was not there then. Now it's common knowledge.

Have you considered that you just became "old" or it's some other genetic predisposition you're not simply aware of?

Having that happen abruptly, imo its sign of something else.

Also, You're implying you were doing these tests through all the years.. why? No "normal" person does that, are you having other "preexisting conditions" as well?

Imo Pharmas are interested to keep it illegal as long as possible, same as alco producers. Pharmas like something they can patent and charge money for. Alco producers like to keep their "monopoly" on "recreational high", without any bad feelings that they kill their customers. Marijuana is none of that.

I strongly believe THC/CBD are more like medicine, that allows you to boost / condition your nervous system, that has been "legal" for many thousands years and now thanks to idiots in US government and theyr racist outlook we all have to suffer.

Don't believe it's for everyone, but for some of us, it works and makes us more conscious, relaxed and allows us to enjoy life more. Most of the bad effects to me are because of the "illegal" status of it, not the herb itself.

"maybe dosage matters" .... rofl... YES, IT DOES!

Same as with other medicine, alchocol including. Water can kill you too, btw.

Next time try one small puff & dont keep it in you too much and see where it takes you, if nothing for 30min, try one more.

Another thing- it might be possible you already have preconditioned yourself mentally in a way that might be hard to get outside of, that'll cause anxiety even when thinking about smoking marijuana. I'd recommend trying "medicinal" first (ie. mostly CBD (ie. 20%), THC <0.5%) and then only progress to strains with higher THC content.

Also, you probably should see therapist anyways. Having psychosis is not a good sign. Most likely you have some other issues you need to work on.

I've always wanted this for payment cards- alternate PIN number that instantly blocks cards and notifies banks security (ie. in case when someone extorts your PIN or wants you to use ATM forcibly) and returns something like "Not enough funds" or similar.

amazing / sad / deeply touching story. Thanks to author for sharing!

maybe, unrelated, but I have this burning question- what was the reason for Kadin's (untimely) death and how that happened?

yes and no.

yes, authority is usually with CFO or line managers, how/when and for how much things are APPROVED depending on the company and its policies and NO as it's developers that come and (authoritatively) say "We need you purchase this and that, because ..." and are the ones that evaluate tools and make such requests. Also there's big difference whether we're talking some sw for $100 one time payment or SaaS service for 100K/month, imo.

And then there's of course freelancers and well-off devs that buy things for themselves that make their decisions on their own.

tl;dr; if you think that devs dont have authority, maybe its you or your sales skills/strategy/methods that fail you more? ;)

I'm not sure you get the reference here.. it's not about what you want or not, but how US government feels about certain (chinese) company.

imo only way forward (in broad terms) is taking ones cells, fixing dna/genes, growing cells as neccesary and transplanting them back and having valid cells of your own making.

everything else is just suffering and living with "incompatible" parts.
