Codeine can still make people sleepy and sluggish. It’s still an opioid that can lead to dependence and withdrawal. It still has negative GI side effects causing constipation. It’s not a good idea for driving while under the influence. If this can help people in pain without side effect that can cause impairment, why not. Getting high off of cannabis can still be allowed.

Purchase car abroad then have it imported. How feasible would something like that be?

I came here with your very point in mind, and then I read this sentence from the article:

Leyton said the father has a good job and the family has real health insurance. The morning the child died, they even called their veterinarian to have their dog treated.

This seems to be a clear case of medical willful neglect. If my kid was that big, (assuming I was feeding him healthy food,) I’d be at the DRs wanting DNA tests, getting a nutritionist, enrolling my kid in activities they like where they can be physically active. My niece has had feeding difficulties now that she’s been switched to solid foods, she’s underweight, and my sister is working with pediatricians and psychologists to determine if the insane pickiness is being caused by her being on the spectrum. I have a PhD in neuroscience, and based on the time spent with my niece she had clear behaviors that indicated she might be autistic/autistic adjacent like repetitive speech, severe introversion, and hiding when she is overstimulated/stressed. I was the first one telling my sister and brother in law to get her baby checked.

If the child had been going to school, a teacher or school official could have dropped the dime to CPS if they thought something was wrong.

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

What makes me sad is that when I was young, I was always one of the people that felt too hot, and now I have turned into one of those old office ladies that are always cold. I have lived long enough to become the villain.

This is why some of us are turning away from new technology.

No worries, he will move a county over and continue his policing career.

I’m surrounded by this shit, and it seems to come from all generations. My boss, who is my age, called me because her computer was frozen and she wanted me to fix it. “I was like, turn it off and on again, this is the first, most basic rule of troubleshooting.” Meanwhile the boomer next to me is having me do shit like attach files to a fucking email.

This made me laugh so hard.

still hot.

I don’t complaint about the AC in the office, I just shiver quietly under a blanket.

Where are there “re-education camps” in the United States you speak of? There are camps for people picked up by ice/immigration, I promise you those people aren’t being re-educated. There are tons of for profit prisons too, but based on recidivism rates I doubt they are very successful at re-education. The only camps being built in the US are for punishment.

If the entire world just stopped working for a few weeks it might.

We should start our own PAC and call it II-PAC.

No. I already own a PC.

The judge didn’t slam them. I am disappointed.

I lived in Dallas for 3 years. Traffic was bad. I was lucky to live 3 miles from work and cycled. I had to pass through a meth infested neighborhood and streets with 6 lanes of traffic with 45 mph speed limits. Top 2 things to do when vacationing in Dallas is leave, and never come back.

Mountain bike, studded tires, fat tire bike. I live in Albany, NY and we get a fair amount of snow. I generally do not ride my bike during the months of January and February. December and March gets snow too, but it usually isn’t as bad during those months. Even after the roads get plowed, you will have to contend with ice, and a reduced shoulder, which makes riding in the winter inherently very risky. You will also have to contend with the cold, wet, and windchill, which are no joke. Be sure to invest in waterproof and insulated gear. I decided broken limbs, discomfort, and the wear and tear caused by the elements wasn’t worth it. I ride the bus during those months. Stay safe.

It’s a symptom of the fact that US manufacturing has declined so hard over the past 70 years. One of our biggest exports is petrol products. As governments across the world race to implement renewable infrastructure, that industry will decline as well. Instead of extracting value out of tangible goods, the investor class has had to move to extracting wealth from predatory bullshit and the necessities required for life. This is on top of the wage stagnation and oppression of labor. The US is cooked.

Maybe CBS should stay in their own lane and focus on all of the theft and embezzlement happening inside the Trump administration. Stones and glass houses. I’d like to hear more about that. But yeah faking a kidnapping to extort money from your tax paying citizens is disgusting no matter who does it.
