Specifically, that's a 6X mixture. That means that the active ingredient was mixed with 10 times the volume of water.

Then a bit of that 1:10 solution was withdrawn, and mixed with 10 times the volume of water. Then a bit of *that* solution was withdrawn and mixed with 10 times the volume of water. And so on. So a 6X homeopathic solution has the original 'active' ingredient at a dilution of 1:10^6. That's a one ounce bottle, so the entire bottle has 28 micrograms of asbestos in it. Assuming they actually bothered to use asbestos in the first place, as opposed to whatever dirt they found lying around on the floor, or nothing.

That's actually a pretty high concentration for homeopathic garbage. Those idiots believe that the *weaker* the concentration the *stronger* the medicine, so frequently you'll see dilutions so extreme that literally not a single atom or molecule of the 'active' ingredient remains. You see, the water molecules somehow remember the substances they used to be in contact with and retain and pass those properties along.

Homeopaths are idiots.

Seems like a lot of trouble when you could just sell people hose water and tell them it has memories of being in contact with vitamins once.

Seems like they don't have a good reason for it.

I thought before I clicked that it was going to be amazingly cheap, but it's a 5,000 seat venue for $163 million. Not that it being cheap as hell would be a good reason, just an understandable one.

Seems like it's tied to the owner being a hippie.

My favorite thing about that truck photo is, in trying to get twice the load off at the same time, they spent more time puzzling out how to do it and had to bring in an extra palette and whatnot, and it still broke.

I think they realized when it sagged that the dumb guy in the blue shirt had overloaded it, and they were looking to level it off so they could pull one of them back into the truck. Their mistake was asking dumb guy in the blue shirt to fix it. He hosed it up by accidentally pulling the lift backward.

The best bathroom situation is F&Ms in new orleans, they have a piss trough that rounds the whole room except the toilet which is just to the left of the door when you walk in (the whole room is like 12x12'), the door opens outward into the bar. I was extremely drunk at Mardi Gras one year and pissing in the trough, the door opened and the whole bar got a nice view of my junk. That's my "Door opens outward for the bathroom" story.

They got good cheese fries, but your night has been a real shitshow if you end up there at 4 am eating cheese fries.

Isn't the brake on a car just the same physical thing it always was though? Like there might be a program that would allow automatic braking, but it wouldn't ever interfere with the driver's ability to step on the brake and stop the car? I'd heard all those Toyota crashes were likely driver error after it was all said and done.

Brakes generally still have a physical connection between the master cylinder and the pedal. The throttle no longer does; It is completely electronic.

Alright, so all this "Macedonian teenagers are going to hijack your Internet-connected car on the freeway and hold you ransom for bitcoins" stuff is malarkey. There's not a car in the world that will keep going when the brake is engaged.

If you can't think of a way that manipulation of the controls of your car could be used maliciously, then I think you're just not trying hard enough.

Maliciously, sure, but not as a kidnapping method. It might be a viable way to murder someone, but there won't be hackers targeting random people for money.
