    - Could you check if the carpet is covering hardwood? Lots of people did dumb stuff like that in the 70s and 80s. -- nm - Reagen Aug 11, 10:05 1
      - Yup that was our house. The hardwood was nearly pristine too. One or two patch jobs but really all we needed to do was sand and stain. -- nm - spamlet Aug 11, 10:09
  - lololol -- nm - JenBro Aug 11, 09:51
- Yep, some very strange angles. I'm just dying to know what they're flying on that flagpole ;) -- nm - Meg Aug 11, 09:41

kilbo knows way more about NMS than I do, and he hasn't even played it. - Shaun Aug 11, 08:55 11

  - You just need to boldly go where no man has gone before :) -- nm - Shaun Aug 11, 09:16 3
    - I don't see what my ass has to do with this. -- nm - groiny Aug 11, 09:18 1
      - Your ass isn't the center of the universe, ok buddy? -- nm - Shaun Aug 11, 09:19
    - It's the one thing that's kept me doing what I do in EVE. My corp is mine. We own something in the game and have for 2+ years now -- nm - oblique Aug 11, 09:17

      - Oh I know. I'll hit up that beacon on another planet at some point :) -- nm - Shaun Aug 11, 09:10
Krusty - topical, just saw this and it's exactly my concern for smoking and driving: - Andie Aug 11, 08:55 12
- Being in Colorado, article is correct. For drinking, it's a beer/hour your safe--for weed, it's who knows. I do know someone who got a weed DUI-- - Flavorize Aug 11, 09:34 5
  - That article isn't correct, see below. Just because they have THC in their system doesn't mean it was the cause of the accident. -- nm - Krusty Aug 11, 10:00
  - I'm not anti-weed, at all, most people are responsible, but it would be nice have some guidelines. -- nm - Flavorize Aug 11, 09:36 3
    - *most* ... back in my youth, the car was one of the only places we could go to catch a buzz :) I had to LEARN to drive high ... not like kids today! - JenBro Aug 11, 09:45 2
      - Ha! I never could--I get too distracted---one niche, that is cool (for the legalized stuff) are the candies - Flavorize Aug 11, 09:51 1
        
        friend of mine is experimenting with mj chocolates ... and said he needs a smaller mold ... heh heh - JenBro Aug 11, 10:08
- Here's an article that discusses how those numbers aren't really right. Just because they have marijuana in their system doesn't mean - Krusty Aug 11, 09:31 3
  - you don't think this is something that needs clear answers and testing? -- nm - Andie Aug 11, 09:38 2
    - I do and I've said as much but those numbers aren't right and are being used to scare people, especially politicians that won't do the research to - Krusty Aug 11, 09:59 1
      - The prison industry loses a ton of money if marijuana is legalized. They will fight this like the NRA with the 2nd amendment. -- nm - jnine Aug 11, 10:05
