- I asked you several boards ago, but: are you under the impression we aren't sure if BHs exist? -- nm - Reagen Feb 4, 14:24 7
  - I think that they do, but yes, we aren't absolutely certain. - Crusty Gorillahump Feb 4, 14:27 6
    - we know they exist, but haven't directly observed one. -- nm - Reagen Feb 4, 14:31 4
      - (also, with regard to modelling, we know how they would behave, so modelling one is entirely appropriate) -- nm - Reagen Feb 4, 14:33 2
        
        dont get me wrong - ive been mildly obsessed with black holes since i was a kid - Crusty Gorillahump Feb 4, 14:41 1

  - [deleted] 1
    - Probably the only times those people will get close to Harlem, Queens, the Bronx and Washington Heights -- nm - Mr. Havens Feb 4, 14:22
- maybe it needed to make a water landing -- nm - Beryllium Feb 4, 14:20
If someone would show me studies that pretty definitively showed a net benefit to society if pot were legalized, I'd been fine with it. Just like - TWuG Feb 4, 14:19 17
- regulate it hardcore and tax the f**k out of it -- nm - Jovian Feb 4, 14:40
- I wish I knew some cops or ER staff to ask. - Dr.Vermin Feb 4, 14:21 6
  - Increased use would lead to a reduction of none of those. -- nm - TWuG Feb 4, 14:24 5
    - I've never been around a pot smoker who got aggressive and hurt people. On the other hand, I've been around plenty of drunks who were loud, obnoxious, - Trish Feb 4, 14:57
    - Yes it would. - Dr.Vermin Feb 4, 14:27
    - ... and lacing the water with Haldol wouldn't affect those stats either? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 4, 14:25 2
      - The G-23 Paxilon Hydrochlorate that we added to the air processors. It was supposed to calm the population, weed out aggression. Well, it works. - TWuG Feb 4, 14:28 1
        
        Yep, that's exactly what would happen if we legalized pot. The Pax would fix all our problems. :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 4, 14:29
- numerous studies have shown that it would save hundreds of millions, perhaps billions - Reagen Feb 4, 14:21 1
  - Last I read, the enforcement (including the incarceration costs of people in jail due to possession charges) puts the number in the tens of billions. - pmb Feb 4, 14:26
- [deleted] 6
  - I'd be interested in reading it. Understand that 1 study won't be sufficient to convince me. -- nm - TWuG Feb 4, 14:21 5
    - [deleted]
    - [deleted] 3
      - I'd argue the first. I haven't made the "Holland doesn't count" argument, you're confusing me with someone else. -- nm - TWuG Feb 4, 14:30 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Also, the percentage of the population who "use" is only slightly highter than before decriminalization. It kinda works like booze. - Trish Feb 4, 14:51
ok I'm really pissed off. Regular customer breaks.... - Remlik Feb 4, 14:19 19
- That's shoplifting pure and simple, but I doubt if it would be legal to charge the CC though you could try and he could complain and you'd be in - zeitgeist Feb 4, 14:35 4
  - It's not shoplifting if you pay for the items you leave with. -- nm - mara Feb 4, 14:41 2
    - but he switched out the comics with others and paid for the ones that SHOULD have been in the packaging. -- nm - Andie Feb 4, 14:44
    - Actually, it is shoplifting if he effectively switched out higher price tagged items for lower ones, which is how I read the story. -- nm - David Feb 4, 14:44
  - Could be easy to prove if he has good inventory records. "Yup, only had 1 copy of each of those and they were in the full set" -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Feb 4, 14:37
- when he comes in next, talk nice about it and act like you are gonna forget the incident. but NO more discounts or special deals for him - peglegpete Feb 4, 14:25 6
  - I like this. He maybe a regular, but he just cost you a lot of money and you can not reward any customer like that. -- nm - Walt_Disney Feb 4, 14:29
  - yeah, id talk to him when he comes in and see if you cant work something out -- nm - Crusty Gorillahump Feb 4, 14:29
  - and then he just shops somewhere else -- nm - zork Feb 4, 14:27 3
    - and ruins their sets -- nm - The Coraline Cat Coalition Feb 4, 14:28 2
      - and who knows how many other things he's done but wasn't caught. -- nm - zork Feb 4, 14:30 1
        
        He might be a regular...but he clearly doesn't have any qualms about ripping the store off -- nm - The Coraline Cat Coalition Feb 4, 14:31
- You need a "No Substitutions" sign. ;-) -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 4, 14:21
- call the police? -- nm - zork Feb 4, 14:20 2
  - or call the CC company and ask them what they suggest -- nm - zork Feb 4, 14:22
  - ideally, they could ask him to come in and either pay or get arrested. -- nm - zork Feb 4, 14:21
- That sucks. "He broke it, he bought it"? -- nm - con_carne Feb 4, 14:20
- You should. It was outright theft. -- nm - TWuG Feb 4, 14:20
- I don't think credit card fraud is a suitable response ... perhaps a police report? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 4, 14:20
[deleted] 5
- not to be too complicated, but yes/no - tRuMaN Feb 4, 14:20 4
  - Tru, regarding your post on B2 . . . - pmb Feb 4, 14:31
  - So if a state wants to decriminalize, they shouldn't be allowed to? -- nm - psilotum Feb 4, 14:23 2
    - yes. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 4, 14:26
    - a one-state trial would surely piss off the surrounding states ... - Beryllium Feb 4, 14:24
Toronto STers: free friday night films at UofT -- (link) - zork Feb 4, 14:17
From BB's regarding responsibility for home mortgages issues. I bought a house in November so I remember a lot of stuff.... - Walt_Disney Feb 4, 14:15 3
- Sounds like what I did. We bought way under what we were approved for. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 4, 14:17 2
  - I did as well. I looked more at what I could fit into my budget, then what I was approved for. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 4, 14:18 1
    - Exactly.....I bought what I was comfortable with budget wise, including all the utilities and other homeowner costs.... - Walt_Disney Feb 4, 14:22
What is the male equivalent of a "mistress"? - con_carne Feb 4, 14:15 24
- My female co-worker said very quicky "gigolo" -- nm - Walt_Disney Feb 4, 14:27 1
  - ~Huh... sucka?~ -- nm - Neneh Cherry SI Feb 4, 14:39
- cougar food -- nm - zork Feb 4, 14:23
- Redbird -- nm - Mr. Havens Feb 4, 14:21
- Technically, the mistress is supported by the man. If she's not, she's just a lover. The male equivilent doesn't have a name because it's so rare. - mara Feb 4, 14:20 4
  - "Dude with sugar momma" -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 4, 14:31
  - she could call me a mistress if she wanted to. - tRuMaN Feb 4, 14:21 1
    - ~You can call me Al~ -- nm - Paul Simon Feb 4, 14:31
  - Nice. -- nm - con_carne Feb 4, 14:21

    - well, yes. -- nm - znufrii Feb 4, 14:19
