I don't know a lot about recreational drugs or street drugs, but aren't they made less pure at the final destination?

Edit: very cursory reading puts cocaine at around 65% pure, which means about $600 per ounce?

There is a lot more spurious communication these days, mostly because communication is so easy. I'm not assigning good or bad to this, it can be a tool for either. But Marcus wrote Meditations about 2000 years ago, and it at least obliquely touches upon habits and forming them.

As a person who tends to come from the technical side, this doesn't surprise me. Without a deep understanding of the subject, how would you come up with an accurate formula or algorithm to meet your needs? And with lighting in a physical space, that would be an arts major, not a math or computing major.

Most of my best work (which I'll grant is limited) came from working with experts in their field and producing systems that matched their perspectives. I don't think this diminishes his accomplishments, bit rather emphasizes the importance of seeking out those experts and gaining an understanding of the subject matter you're working with to produce better results.

That's why I find it funny. It would be like halving the resolution in a closeup of a massive, erect cock. No one would be confused about what they were looking at and their attention would be focused on it due to the resolution change.

I didn't say this was an effective way to solve the problem, nor do I think the other poster's assertion is accurate.

Another factor to consider is dehumanizing people is often the first step in justifying atrocities against them, such as the murder of this doubtless terrible CEO, and that has an impact on both the person doing the dehumanizing and the person or persons being dehumanized.

The usual impetus for slaying the dragon is to stop it from eating people.

We'll have to disagree with the ribbon being an improvement, but the rest definitely count.
