Crazy Horse and St. Ides were the malt liquors of choice while I was in college.

Then St. Ides started getting sold in six-packs, which led to the St. Ides Six-Pack Challenge, which led to a lot of belligerance and broken furniture followed by hugs and belting out Journey songs.

Edit: Which was of course followed by vomitting, because you just drank 96 ounces of vile fermented cat piss.

'reserves'

I can't find em' on google. maybe they didn't make them for very long, or I subsequently drank the correct name out of my memory banks.

So many people in this thread need to learn how to shop.

Uh-huh.

Give me your guidelines, please.

And be sure to include instructions as to how to magically produce local businesses that stock what I desire.

online shop and get them to deliver or store pickup

I do shop online, but that still means I'm supporting Amazon or some such distributor on some level (many, many small businesses run through Amazon affiliations), or otherwise not shopping truly locally.

Depends who you ask.

They've certainly put a lot of book/music/movie stores out business, but most of those bigger chains had already in turn wiped out many local providers of the same content, so turnabout is fair play to a degree.

*shrug*

They're not the greatest of employers to all of their warehouse personal -- you can find some serious horror stories out there -- but I know people who work there and seem pretty happy, so...

like I said. Depends who you ask.

I'm just assuming someone who pushes shopping locally wouldn't care for Amazon.

Once you hit malt liquor, you're on the path to destruction.

awesome. I started with malt liquor 16 some odd years ago. anyone else ever drink those 'reserves'?

Steel Reserve, Colt 45, Four Loko, St. Ides, Crazy Horse... all approved by my local alcoholics. Drinking paint thinner doesn't matter when you're drunk off your *** with your pants off on the corner.

Isn't it obvious?

Abuse of one drug directly correlates to abuse of another drug.

All people want is to see their hands wave back at them.

Let them, for all I care. As long as they don't force their products on me, and as long as they don't drive while intoxicated, it doesn't affect me one bit.

It's also significantly harder to overdose on marijuana, however. Like...really, really hard.

It's really not just about abuse. A lot of people are prescribed opiod pain medications for very serious pain issues.

Which can come into play when people -- especially older people with failing memories -- accidentally take too many of their Vicodin or Percocet or Norco. This happens far more often than you'd suspect and it really is unintentional.

Richard M. Nixon was the one behind the original design of what is now the ACA.

And this matters why? A piece of crap legislation is a piece of crap legislation no matter who came up with it or when.
Because when it fails, the liberals can deny it in entirity.

Never mind that not one single Republican voted for the legislation.

Jet is under the delusion that Republicans voted for the ACA.
They did, in the 90's.

and they basically made it, go figure.
I'm sorry, I didn't realize that a piece of legislation that was started and enacted in less than a 2 year span, which first was brought into play in 2009, was available in the 1990s.

I'll let you think that one a little bit, and maybe you can understand your foolishness.

Because you couldn't be more wrong, on both counts.
When did debate start for the legislation that became PPACA? It certainly wasn't before Obama was president, because that's his brain child.

Last I checked, the presidents in the 90's were Bush Sr. and Clinton. Heck, Obama wasn't even in the Senate then. Well, he wasn't in the Senate for most of the 2000's, as he was only "present" there most of the time.

But since you like to rewrite history, no matter what I say will change the "truth" in your mind....

Oh but it isn't his "brain child" and a large chunk, especially the insurance mandate was all from the "right" look into it, you may learn something.

it's more or less impossible. I stuck a goldfish in a bong while it was being used for over an hour, & he was just fine. I then tried the same thing on another fish, just to make sure the first one wasn't the keith richards of fish or some ***.

My 1 anecdotal experiment is all the proof I'll ever need.

KN just doing his part as an accountant. This is the kind of transparent *** that profession thrives on, three left turns isn't really one right turn, but you end up going the same way.
Taking 3 lefts is an inefficient way of going right. Accountants thrive on efficiency.
Mythbusters busted this myth.

At least in terms of deliverance for goods.
Mythbusters are hack "scientists" who couldn't properly apply nullifying a set of variables if their lives depended on it, shitty science for TV.

Bill Nye or gtfo!

Because liberals have no problem calling the products of the other subsidized industries subsidized products, but suddenly when it's used in conjunction with medical procedures it's just "insurance coffers" paying for it, not subsidies.

For starters is has nothing to do with being liberal or not.

Secondly because it's not, do you know how insurance works?

Those other companies sell something, that's between you and them, the insurance companies are paying for your medical coverage, which is between you and the doctor. Quite frankly they should just rewrite the law so they don't even know what the procedures are, rewrite the law to where when somebody has to pay a hospital bill, it's only from one place at the hospital, not each department they went to, or the private practice that operates out of the hospital (contracts, woo). Part of the medical costs are due to the way the system operates, and is billed, hell they just updated the medical coding system, and now there's a million and one new ways to charge people more for the same ***. They're required to charge people the most they can, go figure.

If one tried to overdose from Marijuana they'd most likely die from lack of oxygen killing their brain (hello old experiments that said marijuana kills braincells).

You'd basically have to pump it into somebody from them to consume enough.

Now if you're talking like thc butter or hash, I'm sure in concentrate it may be possible, and maybe the vapor form, but you'd have a hard time finding somebody who wants to waste all their pot, when a little goes a long way in concentrate.

Wasn't the original model of the PPACA based off the impossibly successful version originally used in Massachusetts by Mitt Romney, essentially leaving him without a platform (which he still could have run on) due to the success it brought to his state during his term as Governor?

Wasn't a fan of Romney, but I also get the feeling he was having his own strings pulled a few too many ways to make him viable enough even for his own party. He has a history of blowing in the direction the wind is currently headed. But there are at least elements of what you said there that are correct.
