Liquid Communism posted:Our current AG has a hateboner six miles high for drug offenses, and loves mandatory minimums in sentencing. One of his first policy memos was to instruct federal prosecutors to pursue charges that carry a mandatory minimum sentence preferentially. As a Congressman he worked to oppose sentencing reform for non-violent drug crimes for just that reason. There will be such an enormous pushback if Sessions tries anything like that that he'll be a smoking hole in the far wall. Legal pot is out of the bag and it aint going back in, esp with even federal Republicans getting on the legal pot train.

QuarkMartial posted:Don't take this the wrong way, because I am legitimately asking and not being snarky or anything like that. I have not heard of this before, but are you saying that there are laws (under the guise of anti-terrorism) that state business profits have to be kept in banks? It's a lot of the latter, with banks not wanting to handle money that might be of unsettled legality/bad PR (the adult industry has similar issues) but there are totally controls on having/moving large amounts of cash*. I'm sure it wouldn't take too much for a motivated prosecutor to convince a grand jury that maybe Kind Mountain Green Medicine Co is maybe violating some sort of statute. And I'm sure if there was pressure on the IRS, it could get very uncomfortable for high-revenue unbanked businesses. *It's been a while so I don't recall specifics, in no small part because I never handle anything other than tiny sums of cash.

Enourmo posted:Talk me out of getting an e-cig. I switched from smoking rollies to an e-cig a few years ago. I don't regret it, but I would say you should do so with caution. They are their own addiction beast altogether, and they aren't any easier to quit. It's very easy to get into the habit of smoking it far, far more regularly than you would cigarettes - I found myself semi constantly puffing away in front of the tv or on a long drive. I now only "smoke" in the kitchen at when I'm at home, and I use it a lot less. I would suggest setting up similar rules. There are also some unknowns in terms of health effects - although I would still prefer those to the known health effects of proper smokes. If you are a smoker, have tried giving up multiple times and failed, or kind of want to give up but aren't fully motivated, or just plain don't want to quit but want to try something "healthier" then e-cigs are a good idea. If you can quit straight up, don't take up efags. If you don't smoke at all DONT TAKE UP VAPING FOR FUCKS SAKE.

I rubbed up against the fence backing into my driveway years ago and broke the mirror. It was pretty cheap to get replacements at a junkyard, like maybe $60 for two power mirrors (I took both because they were black instead of body color). Once you take the trim off the door it's just a couple of bolts.

I don't really like the idea of smoking, but I find I can focus on work for a while after a smoke, in a way that caffeine no longer does for me.

Smoking got me through my last two years of uni... probably something to do with my at the time undiagnosed ADHD. Mostly quit after that, was just a social smoker for years, then relapsed fully when I went from struggling at work to really struggling at work. If you are going to end up smoking anyway, then ecigs are a better way to go.

The descent is eerily similar to my cousin, who I just watched die over the past 2 years from brain cancer. Just a steady-state decline that nobody else can do anything about, with everyone knowing it's a one-way road. poo poo, he's even thinning out like she did. Except his death is entirely preventable, and a whole and fulfilling life is entirely possible. But it's not up to us.

Holy gently caress this thread is getting heavy.

Live your life the way you want man, but having watched two grandparents die of emphysema I'd encourage you in the strongest possible terms to not smoke.

Copying from Kimbo's thread, in case there are some Lotus experts looking on a Saturday afternoon: I stopped at an estate sale near me today and found a '72 Elan. 59k miles, original dead owner. Passed at $19k, because I couldn't find reliable pricing... they want the car sold by 3 today... thoughts?

Leaves for about 5k profit, but not enough to make it worthwhile. When I first started looking, it seemed (seems?) like they bring a lot more money in England...
