I built the Apollo Lunar Lander not long ago. I enjoy the experience of putting together Lego kits so sure, I’d do that again. Or even a bigger one like the Saturn V.
The problem is what to do with these after I finish assembling them. Nicer kits have a good number of specialized parts so I don’t want to take them apart. So they just sit on a shelf and collect dust.
I think ethically, legal status should not be a barrier to education about drugs. Sadly, in reality it often is (this includes research as well).
I’m not advocating for intrusive policing, if that’s what you think. The system we have now in many places is horribly broken and abusive. Instead I’m saying we should decriminalize but keep policies that are essential to public health (e.g. don’t give hard drugs to children), provide better resources for doctors and other healthcare workers, and deliver robust (and scientifically accurate) informational campaigns.
I know, it’s such a shame there’s never been a campaign to inform people about the risks of drunk driving… /s
Prescription meds generally aren’t party drugs. At least not the ones I know about. So that’s not quite the same.
Oh, I 100% believe that drugs should be decriminalized and treated as a health issue instead. Meaning both individual health and public health. Like how Portugal does it, IIRC.
Booze and cocaine are both party drugs and people already use them together, but I think there’s a larger public health concern if they were both readily available because that population would spike. People should have a little more knowledge of the risks. Plenty of folks out there think uppers + downers just cancel out 🙄 We don’t need more 20-somethings in the morgue.
Okay, but the combination of coke and alcohol dramatically increases your risk for a heart attack, so having both really available is potentially an even worse health crisis.

Wood Science must be a rather strange field.
1 mL of pure water weighs exactly 1 g at 20 °C and 1 atm pressure :) It’s a defined standard, useful for calibrating other things.
1 mL. Studying chemistry has made that extremely useful and now other units seem ridiculous.
If we’re talking about geology or oceanography though, cubic meters are fine.
Civilian dead: Over 335 million. Riiight 🤡
(Current US population is 341 million)
Aw that’s not accurate. I totally played soccer in high school.
Reads question again
Ohh… do I play sports, present tense, like here in 2025?
Fuck, ok, 100% accuracy confirmed.
But what if I love paying 1 million dollars to license outdated software? 🤡
Egad, I read about that but forgot. Now that you mention, I’m sure that’s how the idea popped in my head. How awful 😞 Now I almost feel bad for joking about it.
For maximum hair-tearing insufferableness?

The audience HAS to actively listen to it? Like no talking over it and no interrupting with other noise?
I like this. Finally some peace and quiet.
TIL I identify as a towel
Buy one made before, I dunno, 2005?
