Hobby lobby founder wants to waste money on the superbowl. Let 'em.

You've got drugs that are relatively small and hard to detect (compared to weed). To smuggle it do you A) Illegally cross the border and get cavity searched if you get caught or B) Just fucking hide it in something. I would imagine the US postal service is likely the biggest fent smuggler around.

FEMALES. You always know it's going to be a nonsensical sexist take when that word pops up over and over.

IT workers and shift bosses at the plant were among those charged, as well as security guards and outsiders not directly involved with the company.

It sounds like they're taking down the whole corrupt nest and will likely land some bystanders that "knew but didn't say" about the diversion.

That honestly doesn't matter. You can't fix it by their metrics as long as minorities exist. They don't NEED it to be an actual problem. The fact that currently the federal government is in actuality failing to handle refugees is just a bonus.

Going to add to this, the confusion comes from people saying something is a tax wire off as being a good thing. That confusion comes from the fact that a tax write off is essentially a "discount" compared to paying for something out of your own pocket post tax. You're essentially buying it for whatever percent cheaper you tax rate is. This is good if it's something that you gain value from, but bad if it's something like a wasted investment (though that gets complicated when you start actually assigning percentages to an investment's potential return as you hedge it, that's so far outside of my wheelhouse that it might as well be on the moon).

Every account I've ever had is a troll account. You merely adopted trolling. I was born in it. Molded by it.

For complex plants, you essentially never will.

The one thing the moon does have, thankfully, is water. That means oxygen, water, and hydrogen are provided once you're there as long as you have power. Essentially, the whole point of colonizing the moon can be seen as a source of water outside of the gravity well for engine reaction mass, radiation shielding, and oxygen. Nitrogen and carbon, unfortunately, you gotta ship, though you can get both by recycling it from pee and the air respectively. That's why I mention hydroponics, because getting bioavabile nitrogen from pee is a chemical process.

Granted, I am a nurse. Botany and hydroponics are not my wheelhouse. These regolith experiments people keep doing just seem to be going the wrong way.

I do not understand the point of these experiments. They're nitrogen fixing with Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi. Why not just do it hydroponically? It's not like you're going to try to fix atmospheric nitrogen on the moon to create soil.
