Tylenol is easier to overdose on than NSAIDs. I really don't think this guide is accurate. I'm really questioning the placement of cocaine and especially ketamine. Vitamin D from the sun? Lethal? I don't believe black widows are that venomous, either. How are they even measuring this? Cocaine will give you a heart attack, Tylenol will shut down your liver, venom acts like an infection... are they basing lethal dose on how much it takes to cause some kind of fatal reaction, or under a controlled administration with a defined "fatal dose" based on a specific measurement, like damage to a human cell?

My partner and I always use condoms, but it is nice knowing where I'm at in my cycle. It helps to know how paranoid I should be since I live in a red state.

I don't trust one method of birth control. We've talked about him getting a vasectomy, and I'll probably be getting a microscope.

That's my argument. There's no need to raise taxes. It's all scare tactics from the GOP. In Texas, a hot topic last election was our increased property taxes. The democratic nominee for governor proposed legalizing weed and using those tax dollars to lower property taxes. He lost the "moderates" when he proposed stricter gun control the last time he ran and they never got over it. Conservatives would rather pay extra money and complain about it than legalize the devil's lettuce.

Politics is theatre. They use buzz words to win the ignorant votes. I don't think we'll ever see a return on our taxes because of how much it would take to completely flip the system. Businesses would go bankrupt if we had access to socialized programs, and that goes against the capitalism that the country stands on.

People who don't drive don't pay any of those taxes that were used as examples. I'd love to see the numbers that you're basing your argument on.

I read that Linux usage is much higher in India (I think ~13% vs 5% in the US, though the statistics are probably outdated). I am totally ignorant when it comes to India, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm wondering if the rise of Linux users has something to do with the government trying to limit access to Github.

I use multiple paid streaming services but still pirate any movies that I enjoy so that I have everything in one place (Plex). It feels redundant until I'm constantly looking online to see which service has whatever I'm wanting to watch.

There's an issue with your VPN.

I can't remember when I traded pirating music for my zune/iTouch for Spotify, but I know back in 2008 we were still using MP3 players. We were still in relatively early years with MP3 players, too. In 2010 I was still using my jailbroke iTouch 3, so we were still in the MP3 era until at least 2010. People also joked back then about vinyl snobs who made "audiophile" part of their personality. Records were cool and record shops were able to stay in business. Cassette sales were down on the other hand, because we were still getting over the trauma of them getting jammed and the excitement of having high quality digital music.

OP must be very young and just looked up what year things came out, not what year things were used. Weren't DVDs invented in the 80s?

Billionaires bought the internet and now they're realizing that it isn't profitable.
