unclevlad Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 That's gonna get seriously more dangerous pretty soon. As in REAL soon. By the end of October, the day length is only 8 hours. The red dot is where Gambell is. Still a couple degrees below the Arctic Circle...63.8 degrees north. But still. Even that alone, and figure, the sun's never very high or bright, so on the water, if there's any haze, visibility would be really bad. That's not even counting any difference in weather as full winter hits. OTOH, the most northerly peninsula of Russia has its southeasternmost tip only about 50 miles away, so the trip could be done in a few hours. But God help you if you run out of gas or the motor breaks down. And that's even assuming the weather lets you even consider it. Hope they get a warm welcome, they bloody well deserve it.

BNakagawa Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2022-10-06/biden-pardons-federal-marijuana-possession-scheduling#:~:text=President Biden on Thursday pardoned,more than 6%2C500 people nationwide. Hopefully, it leads to a federal rescheduling of Marijuana so the persecution of simple possession goes away forever. Adding it to the spectrum of treatments available to doctors may also defuse much of the opioid crisis, too. Ragitsu and Cygnia 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclevlad Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 Can't say I've followed this much, but I thought marijuana was suggested for relatively lower-level, but chronic, pain; opioids are for more intense pain. Of course, IIRC opioids have been widely misprescribed, so...perhaps it'll help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sociotard Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 My feelings on the Marijuana issue conflict. I'm glad it is being done, but I'm annoyed it is being done, alongside student loan forgiveness, as an October surprise because his popularity was garbage. The right thing for the wrong reasons.

Here in Washington, the marijuana-based pain ointments are legal under state law (and the feds have not come in after anyone), and they seem to work quite well. Now, you have to go to a licensed-to-sell marijuana outfit to get it, and my age 70+ senior theoretical-nuclear-and-particle-physicist colleague admitted to feeling self-conscious when walking into the head shop to get the stuff the first time. But it helps her like nothing else available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattern Ghost Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 I must be getting old. When I see "CRT" I think "cathode ray tube" and wonder what the issue is with bans on old TVs in Oklahoma for a minute before realizing they mean Critical Race Theory.

Sociotard Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 Allegations that China has 'police stations' in Toronto and other large cities. China says these are like a consulate express for Chinese immigrants to conveniently get bureaucratic chores done. Human rights groups claim they help compel Chinese citizens to return. https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/its-entirely-illegal-for-china-to-open-police-stations-here-says-ottawa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
