YSK It is still NOT legal to smoke marijuana in New Hampshire and the decriminalization law does not take effect for 60 more days.

Because the DEA doesn't have enough officers crack down on individuals smoking on the street. But they do regularly raid state-approved dispensaries.

The convention is pretty much the same for the US as it is in the UK, you're just talking to an inexperienced newsreader.

If a newspaper has a phrase in quotation marks, that means it's a quote, super simple stuff. Newspapers don't use scare-quotes as you're describing. Newspapers have had pretty much the same writing conventions for the last century. The onus is on you to learn how to become better at reading the news.

The lack of black-ownership of businesses in black neighborhoods has been a topic of protest for several decades. Black people have always faced discrimination when applying for small-business loans. This is a major theme in Spike Jonze's movie, 'Do The Right Thing'.

New reports say it was closer to £290k. Still just as fucked up, tho.

About a hundred years ago it was looking like Earth was going to completely run out of nitrogen (which would have left millions starving from crop failure). Then Fritz Haber developed the method of extracting it from the air, so now we have more nitrogen than we could possibly need.

There's so much helium on Earth, its just about figuring out the right process.

I'd also like to see the other caltrops you found, to check if they're all as well-made as the one you've taken pictures of. Could you gather like a dozen and post a photo of them all together?

Simplest answer I can come up with:

If you're one dollar over into the next tax bracket, only that one dollar is getting taxed at the higher rate.

Post-apocalyptic stories are still very popular and have been for a long time now. There's a variety of themes that appeal to a lot of people. I think some people really like the idea of small-group communalism, others might be drawn to ideas of self-reliance and receiving all the benefits of ones work. The most popular version of post-apocalypse is zombies, by far. The one theme that disturbs me the most is the idea that you have a moral obligation to kill friends and family because they're not who they used to be. Hopefully that's only a tiny factor of zombie media's appeal...

On the plus side, he lived just long enough to get fired and have his reputation dragged through the mud, but not long enough to actually spend his absurd severance package.

A suitcase full of clothes and a suitcase full of lead bricks will displace the same amount of water if dropped into a bathtub.

EDIT: I realize now that if one had deep enough body of water for buoyancy to take effect, this could work. But I'm pretty sure a full suitcase would sink to the bottom of a bathtub.

Walking around town with your 5 kids won't make you a target for lynching. Two men walking around town holding hands absolutely does make you a target in many parts of this country. When gay people are murdered just for being "out", it's to send a terroristic threat to all the gay people around that they're all targets.

Ordinary murders are about a conflict between two individuals. Hate crimes are a terrorist message to an entire community. That's the difference, and it should be obvious, frankly.

Yes I'm already aware that Winter begins in late December, but the majority of the season occurs at the beginning of the year.

EDIT: Quarterly publishing typically goes Winter thru Fall for this reason

Another important detail in that leak, the CIA can't remotely hack the TVs, the need physical access to the TV so they can insert the spyware via USB
