Crazy to think that in the life span of this planet is ??? Before christ? After christ? A million years or two?

Exactly, no one knows the answer....

We can't agree as a civilization when this planet started, but everyone knows when it's going to end.... irony is thick around these parts...

smokelegend··on Scientists find second ‘short sleep’ gene (2019)
Perhaps you're not giving 'weed' the credit it deserves.

[IMHO]I'm so sick of people who purposely down play the medical and therapeutic effects of cannabis. That's what it should be referred to, since in this country [US] 'weed' is a generic term that generally has been used to describe anything bad, unwanted or something not worth keeping. Which is completely different when we talk about medical grade high THC cannabis[in the US].

Stop thinking 'weed' is the same as taking a manufactured pharmaceutical pill. It's not, I don't have to site any references or link any sites to know the difference. If you feel differently, perhaps you'd be better off googling the differences to discover what millions of people have known for hundreds if not thousands if years. CANNABIS is a healing plant, full stop.

We can debate all day long about what plant may be better for this or that, but you're never going to convince me that 'weed' is not as effective for pain as a manufactured pharmaceutical pill.

Take care of your life, do as you see fit, I think there is a right strain and dosage for everyone to enjoy the benefits of cannabis.

Not all pharmaceutical drugs are bad, true, not all alcohol is bad, but if you take enough of it, it'll kill you.

smokelegend··on White House discussing plan to expand domestic, warrantless surveillance
I agree not entrapment, but certainly suspicious how the fbi always seems to every 3 months or so, somehow miraculously save us all from a plot they created...I mean "helped" .... i.e. selling whatever to whoever on camera to make a bust...

Seems they need to justify their budget request(s); truly what better way then to show everyone why their needed with another 9/11 reference of doom and horror to scare the masses in to compliance.

smokelegend··on Visa Plans to Enable Bitcoin Payments at 70M Merchants
Great you get convenience for buying bitcoin but I thought one of the selling points of bitcoin was to keep payments and transactions anonymous. I don't want to have to provide ID just to buy/sell bitcoin, I certainly don't want the government to know about my transactions. I appreciate the privacy bitcoin transaction provide, why do people want to jeopardize anonymity for convenience?

smokelegend··on Czech gunmaker CZG buys Colt in cash and stock deal
She died because she broke a window to the US Senate chamber floor during a proclaimed riot on the US Capital. She was shot once, center mass by a trained US Secret Service officer. She died because of her belief that her white privilege would save her. She died because of her poor judgment of her own actions. Nobody told her she has a right to storm the US capital and attempt to break into the US Senate chamber. There are consequences for your actions. She died because of her actions, it's not the US Secret Service officers fault for doing what he was trained for, swore duty to and paid to do. Do not attempt to glorify stupidity.

Seems weird, a country that fought nazi's & fascist during WW2 would have a problem today with nazi's & fascist in their own country.

Do nazi's deserve to be punched in the face? In the US, yes All Nazi's should be punched in the face. We fought a war over this already, it's not open for debate.

It's not a conspiracy, nazi's are bad. FULL STOP!

Sure you spend sum cash on cleaning the funds, you're still not paying taxes on that cash win/win

US intelligence agencies love extremely complicated scenarios, plausible deniability is a feature not a bug.

Curious do you have a exercise schedule?

Just wondering if you've noticed any improvement from regular exercising?

I'm not the best at "regular" (daily) exercise, but I do notice difference in my mental state when I exercise vs when I haven't for prolonged time periods. I have back problems, my idea of exercise is walking around the block. Which works mostly.

Do you have a particular diet you follow to help alleviate anxiety? (I.e. no caffeine or sugar..etc?)

Just curious about others who suffer anxiety disorder(s) not trying to single you out.

To be clear only Oregon has legalized "magic mushrooms" in the U.S.

A bit misleading to say most states or a few states have legalized it.

Sure other states are researching it, but that's a long way from state sanctioned legalization.

I wish everyone in the states had access to it, sadly that's just not the current reality here today. States could benefit economically like most have from legalization of marijuana, billions of dollars to be made.

Have you tried using berryboot?

Gives you an option to install os on external storage. You can set it up to dual boot multiple distros if you wanted.

I agree pi4 would benefit from better storage options, but for the money it's still a impressive package.

Doesn't YouTube offer a premium service that allows d/l of videos?

Youtube red or something I think it's called.

What's the difference in using youtube-dl to d/l copyright video or using youtube premium to d/l said copyright video.

Note: I have not used youtube res service so idk how it works
