Pretty sure big tobacco is just waiting with baited breath for federally legal weed. Any venture until then is likely to flounder.

The French will probably be down for testing whatever they put out, though. Always a market somewhere.

To understand the cup
He must become the cup



quote:

As the head of an independent agency whose leadership does not normally change with a new administration, Saul’s six-year term was supposed to last until January 2025. The White House said a recent Supreme Court ruling gives the president power to replace him.

Saul disputed that. “I consider myself the term-protected Commissioner of Social Security,” he said, adding that he plans to be back at work on Monday morning, signing in remotely from his New York home.

Cue the inevitable email about Saul complaining his credentials don't work.
"Dude, you don't even work here anymore."
"Says you." :argh:

I'm assuming that Olympians are going to be allowed to bring their own, or there's going to be a baby boom. There were 450K condoms in Rio during the 2016 games.

The athletes will be asked to bring the condoms back to their home countries to increase awareness about HIV and AIDS, Kitajima said.

What kind of logic is that?? "If there aren't any condoms, then they won't have sex!" Was this policy implemented by a proponent of "abstinence only" sex ed?

Japan has some weird attitudes about birth control. I don’t know enough about it to know if they’re in play here, but maybe.

For example, Japan didn’t approve hormonal birth control pills till 1999.

I've said for years that my first big Powerball purchase would be to fund a new football stadium for the local college. (They finally did end up building one). But only under the condition that it literally be named Barack Hussein Obama Celebration Field. Everybody usually chuckled. We joked about how quickly it'd end up with a racist nickname, or how the admin would try to weasel out of it by giving it some semi-official nickname like the BHO.

I ended up going to that college (Univ of South Alabama) in my mid-30s as a business major. I got pretty friendly with a lot of the professors (they liked having a former wrench-turner in their classes for a bit of diversity), including the chairs of several of the departments. After graduation, I'd go to some of the business college alumni mixers, because I liked talking with the profs again.

At one of those mixers, it was around the time Powerball was up at one of those ridiculous jackpots like 600 mil or so. So in a circle of business PhDs, some of them retired CEOs or high level executives, everyone was dropping their Powerball wishlists when I dropped mine.

I could not have killed that conversation deader with the smelliest fart in human history.

It was a definite "oh yeah that's right, these are definitely not my people" moment.

When I told my dad about it, he talked about when he just made warrant officer, and got friendly with a few of the officers in the wardroom, until a CW04 pulled him aside and told him quite plainly "they only let you eat there". Pours some cold water on you to be reminded of the difference between who you are friendly with, and who you are friends with.
