Drug overdose deaths fall for 6 months straight as officials wonder what's working
  • Corkyskog Corkyskog 5h ago 100%

    I think it's as simple as education at all levels. More people carry narcan. Dealers are selling lower purity stuff. Imitation pills are becoming better measured with less dosage fluctuations. Less people are doing hard drugs in the first place.

    Not if he pulled up in like a Subaru and did like 15 to 20 minutes of shopping. By the time they realized who he was and started dialing their friends on their flip phones he could be out the door with his frozen pizza, dunkaroos and mango juice.

    People simply don't care. The amount of times people talk about fleeing the country vs even changing their local government is completely out of whack. People don't try, expect to move somewhere else and not try and not have their problems follow them.

    Did he have some kind of people phobia? Why not just go to a grocery store?

    I already know your going to say "but it's MJ!?!" but honestly if he wore a baja jacket and some sweat pants with some tennis shoes or some beat up shower flat sandals. Everyone would just assumed he was another weirdo and advert their eyes. Then he would get the true shopping experience haha

    You need to really read what CAH says... it's only paying you to apologize, make a plan to vote and post a comment about Trump on social media. Nome of that goes as far as this lottery.

    Not going to happen in your lifetime... they are already trying to figure out how to get rid of the LLV during the phase out stage where people won't be able to reuse them on the secondary market and impersonate postal workers.

    I don't know if anyone can day for sure unless they are part of the contract negotiations, but they already received COLAs during this time frame, so it must be an increase on top.

    So then it's probably around 1.5kg of fentanyl. They generally use a little over a mg a pill, with some outliers do to poor mixing.

    These things happen more often than people assume. In these scenarios the asset usually has some value. So you need to contact the company, and send a certified letter stating "in x amount of time(2 weeks is usually the norm) if this is not removed from the premises it will be disposed of" Then you just wait for no response and sell it or have someone take it for free.

    This happens a lot with small trash companies that go out of business. In my experience there is a 50/50 chance that they or whoever bought their carcass will answer and claim the equipment.

    I will never understand someone who clearly already has a drug dealer choosing to do dirtier versions of their drugs.

    Then you don't fully understand the bottoms of addiction and the unreliability of drug dealers. People will go through extreme efforts to avoid withdrawal.

    Oh I should market this idea, maybe polish up the slogan. I will pay all users half of the ad revenue, which they can see tick up on their browser...

    Then it will be super invasive and vacuum up as much user data as possible, but not mention it to the users, so they don't think to quantify it.

  • You are going away, to some place isolated... in space, of course. You will only be around one other person. You can take an allotment if 1GB of personal media with you (text, video, music, games, pics, etc.) that you will be able to access in your free time indefinitely at will. The other person will also take 1GB with them, but you won't be able to talk to them until you're on the journey. You will have access to any knowledge resources to perform your function and keep you alive. You will never return to a point where you can get new external media. Any additional media you ever access would have to be created by you and or your travel partner with what you have access to. You will also not know the sex of your partner, but they have willingly taken the same risks to embark on the journey as yourself, and will have a similar mission.

    [Resolved!] I traded my cousin some really expensive RAM that I happened accross for his old desktop, that he put his graphics card into that he swapped from his newer computer. If I plug the desktop into the wall and try to turn it on nothing happens. If I open it up I can see that the where the wire from the power supply plugs into the graphics card there Is a little light on. So clearly some power is getting somewhere... How do I go about trouble shooting this, and what tools do I need? I assume at minimum a multi meter? Not really sure what to do, it's been decades the last time I built a computer. Board says "Asrock H110M-HDS" Edit: Attached a Pic and noticed the light is actually on the graphics card, not motherboard. Added addtl info. Update: So now all of the sudden the fan spins. I am at a loss as to why it spins now, as I haven't actually really done anything. I ordered a speaker for the mobo, so waiting for that. Final update: It works! I apparently had either a bad monitor or bad display port cable. But using another monitor with DVI I was able to finally get it to fully boot! I am not sure what got the fans to eventually work, maybe just a cable was jostled. I really appreciate all the advice! I definitely know a lot more and feel better equipped to do things with it now.

    I know Congress needs to be involved to actually declare war, but there have been a number of times where something was kicked off by presidential authority alone. If Biden wanted to, could he start a conflict against Russia without congressional approval. If not, what approval would he need? If so, what would be the theoretical limitations to his power and military authority? I am already assuming people would want some definition of what "conflict" would mean in this hypothetical scenario. So let's say it means Biden authorized US troops at the Ukrainian border and had them launching shells into Russia.

    I guess my title kind of puts it all out there. I am looking to collect spellbooks, Journals and the likes from those who are insane, or have mental health issues. What's the easiest way to purchase them, and how do you even find them? Fame or notoriety do not matter to me. I am just looking for scripts/texts written by neural atypical people that are related to the occult.. At first I thought estate sales would be a good way to find this... but heirs tend to destroy/hide or sell that stuff on the secondary market as to not taint the value of the other property. Edit: I wondering if some internet archiving could help find threads to look for.

    Juicy Juice among other brands touts "100% juice" however if you leave it undisturbed for months on the shelf it never seems to develop any sediment. How can they be 100% juice and not have any solids? What exact process are they using to remove all the sediment and or perfectly homogenize the liquid? You will notice other shelf stable 100% juice brands tend to have a sediment, how do the large brands get around that, while still being pure juice? Is there an FDA definition of "Juice"? Sorry, this seemed to turn into many questions.
