Medical Marijuana
For those who are not in the U.S. and/or are not familar with U.S. laws related to cannabis, there are federal laws that are supposed to apply to all 50 states. On the Federal level at present time, cannabis is still considered illegal for any reason including medicinally. However, to date 39... -
Medical Marijuana
Actually in the U.S. it's possible that cannabis might be reclassified from it's current "Schedule 1" status which includes hard drugs like heroin and cocaine to a "Schedule III" status (which includes prescribed drugs such as codeine). If that happens then on a federal level, rather than being... -
Medical Marijuana
That kind of scenario is different than when some people use cannabis on a regular homeopathic basis but are also functional contributing members of society, taxpayers, etc. But you're correct, that an addiction to any type of drug (or gambling, porn, etc) that's so gripping that a person is... -
Medical Marijuana
That's a shame. Was he a "functional alcoholic" up to the end of his life or did his alcoholism gradually become so severe that he was not able to continue to function? -
Medical Marijuana
A random but related thought on this subject: Why is it that when someone finds a prescribed psych med that they say helps them cope with life and even makes it enjoyable, people are supportive, but if another person says that daily cannabis consumption helps them cope with life and even makes... -
Why don't Nursing Homes have lounges for libations and relaxation?
It really is a sad state of affairs all around. -
Why don't Nursing Homes have lounges for libations and relaxation?
^ Overall, that sounds much better than Nursing Homes in our area where there's nothing like that at all. Other than some arts and crafts projects, bingo and other such activities there are no activities that adults are otherwise free to choose to partake in. -
Why don't Nursing Homes have lounges for libations and relaxation?
Why don't Nursing Homes have lounge areas where residents can enjoy a cocktail or two in the evenings? Or in places where it's legal, a toke as well? Music familiar to residents playing in the background? Dimmer more relaxing lighting? Yes, there might be some residents that can't or... -

Diet Coke Versus Regular Coke (Coca Cola)
The debate doesn't address the ingestion of plastics from drinking from either plastic bottles or cans. I try to keep that at a bare minimum.- Magna

What was the last thing you cooked?
I'm proofing some 100% Whole Wheat bread dough right now to bake a loaf of it later today. I was in the mood for some fresh baked toasted buttered whole wheat bread to go with my leftover Chicken Vegetable soup. Dip dip....mmmmmmmm. The combination of the two will be my supper. -
What was the last thing you cooked?
The oatmeal version of Polenta. Very coincidental: I have my Polenta recipe on the kitchen counter today and my plan was to try using 1/2 cornmeal and 1/2 rolled oats to make Polenta this evening. -
What was the last thing you cooked?
Breakfast today: Oatmeal! My wife got me a "Flake Mill" attachment that goes with our mixer machine. The flake mill allows me to take whole grains like oats and flake them into rolled oats. It's my new favorite "toy" already. The oatmeal it makes is on a whole other level of flavor and... -
Diet Coke Versus Regular Coke (Coca Cola)
It's been years, but I recall reading something that sounds made up about Diet Coke. That the artificial sweetener exposed to heat (e.g. sitting in a hot warehouse during the summer or in hot climates, etc) converts to something like formaldehyde to the point that people who drink it...- Magna

What was the last thing you cooked?
Chicken & Turkey Vegetable Soup Veg: celery, carrots, rutabaga, onions & potatoes Diced brined chicken and turkey both leftover from Christmas dinner and both made entirely by me. Homemade chicken broth made from scratch by me which I pressure cooked from the leftover roasted chicken and... -
Are there A.I. members on forums like this yet?
I would think that such a prediction hinges on whether or not AI becomes sentient and self-aware on its own. If it does AND it has a desire to continue to exist autonomously, then it would likely be on a trajectory to be all over for humans. Why? it would end up being so far more... -
Are there A.I. members on forums like this yet?
I thought this was interesting and has a high probability, in fact, to be the final outcome of our fate as humans. Just as he mentions the precursors to Homo Sapiens died out, were killed off, etc. It's thought provoking to hear that it's very possible that our species will simply be a... -
Are there A.I. members on forums like this yet?
I don't mean "someone". I mean "something". On another forum that's mental health related, a person asked a question about the difference between ADHD and BPD and a new user with no previous posts posted a totally obvious explanation of the differences between the two disorders and I don't... -
Are there A.I. members on forums like this yet?
I wonder if there are any Artificial Intelligence members who have autonomously created accounts on forums such as this yet. I don't know the answer to this, but I was on a different forum recently and there was a new member whose response to a thread had to be non-human. Totally generic... -
Automobiles: Mechanical related steering question
Hello everyone. I promised an update on the issues with our vehicle. I took it to a local mechanic who is trusted by many in our neighborhood. The issue is twofold: A bad wheel bearing on the side that seemed like it was making the noise most often when turning. He's replaced that bearing...
