>Very Christian and Catholic societies fought one another with absolutely no other motive than territorial gain.

Sure. Like they did for millenia before that too. Having adopted christianism doesn't mean people get perfect or all good or something.

It's more of a moral compass than actual everyday conformance. We might point the "hypocrisy" but then we ignore the importance of having a moral compass, even if don't follow it all the time, which is that it helps shape mentalities, laws and practices.

And that's something that doesn't happen in a day -- it takes centuries of slow progress, while the new values kick in, to the point that their nominal carrier isn't even needed anymore (e.g. we now have codified christian originated values in non-religious forms, including in the Declaration of Independence).

>Also, the Nazis thought they were doing God's work; they had written on their belt "God is with us" (Gott mit uns), which they did not invent (the origin is ancient) but did not suppress either.

They never had any special relationship with the church -- only attempted to keep it to not alienate the huge christian population, but first cleaning it of jewish influence (including lots of new testament). The "Gott mit uns" is just a relic, not a central tenet of their philosophy.

Which is not exactly tied to the christian god's either, it has more to do with the pagan gods of the past, the kind Wagner also celebrated. Early tendencies in 20th century Germany, that later turned pro-nazi, were in favor of such a pagan revival, including naked dances/rituals in the forests, occultism, and other such BS.

The fact that Jesus was jewish itself is enough of an issue for most top nazi's to avoid christianity altogether (although they also maintained that he wasn't, in an attempt to keep the devout masses with them).

I will try to answer from my limited point of view.

IMHO, Mexicans simply do not see marijuana users the same way Americans do. For Americans, marijuana seems like a soft drug young people often try and later grow out of it. Sure, there is this argument about the gateway drug and all that, but at the end of day many conservative boomers did have first or second hand experience in the 1960's. So it's not a big deal.

Not so for the Mexican people. Specially in the urban population (which I suspect is overrepresented in the poll) the term "mariguano", describes not just a cannabis user, but a deviant user of any low cost drugs. It is low status, so it is easy to demonize, much like "crack-head" or "meth-head" in the US.

So, people is afraid of mariguanos. They do marginal jobs, if at all, then some end up resorting to petty crime to fund their habit. There is also a correlation between drug use and violent crime. I personally think that deviant types will display both higher use rates and higher violence rates than the general population, but most people assume causation right away.

It also does not help that the Catholic Church has taken a very clear cut stance about that. That is not the root cause of people feelings; if the Church took a similar stance against alcohol abuse, literally no one but a handful of old ladies would listen to them. But the Church (as a political agent) is scoring cheap points on the Supreme Court now, and there is very little cost to do that, so they keep doing it.

Therefore, the results of the poll reflect a feeling from the Mexican people: that the government is failing to protect them - again, - and betraying their interest - also again.

Virtual Reality News from the NY Times
Even people with fairly severe mental illness can function normally and make rational choices.

A friend of my family studied medicine, and during his studies there was apparently a course where the lecturer used to bring in a mental patient each year.

This specific mental patient suffered from severe delusions. He by all accounts genuinely believed he was the rightful heir of Kaiser Wilhelm II, and had constructed an elaborate fantasy world around his childhood and how he came to grow up in a suburb of Oslo, with a Norwegian family.

But here's the thing: He was in full work (I don't remember as what - a plumber or electrician or something), and lived a seemingly normal, happy life. He functioned fully as a normal member of society in every way.

He had learned and understood that, while he still believed fully in his delusions, people around him thought they were totally crazy. And so he'd accepted he had to live "undercover". He enjoyed showing up in the lecture once a year because it gave him his an opportunity to talk about what he saw as his real self.

He would debate the students at length and expand on details the asked him about with ease.

Did he not have free will?

The point of inviting him was exactly for the lecturer to point out that many forms of mental illness does not remove the patients ability to reason or their ability to function, and that often it can be hard to determine if they are mentally ill at all. What if this man was right? Nobody other than him believed so, but that doesn't prove anything. We assume he was mentally ill, but for many forms of mental illness, the line between ill or not is a fuzzy line that boils down to subjective judgement, and where the more interesting question is whether or not the patient feels there is a problem they want help with.

Of course there are mental illness where the decision is clear-cut too. But mental illness is not a binary. It's not a matter of declaring you "crazy" or "sane".
In England: People have the capacity to make choices. If you want to take away their rights you need to show they no longer have that capacity.

Capacity is narrowly defined. I might be able to chose where to live, but not chose how to spend my money. I might have capacity for everything apart from what food I eat.

The relevant laws are the Mental Capacity Act (can I chose what I do; what happens if I lose that ability;) and the Mental Health Act (can I be detained against my will; can I be transported to a place of safety for assessment; can I be medicated against my will).

If you live in the UK it's worth having a quick look at the guides for this. You probably won't need it, but it's a good idea to be prepared for the worst. (EG parent gets a dementia illness and starts giving money to telephone "microsoft repair" scammers; your adult child develops a psychosis illness; your co-founder torpedos your business by burying the product on a beach)

In general if you aren't a risk to other people and you're not in danger of killing yourself it's hard for them to hospitalise you against your will. (At least in UK). But it's important that if you have the choice between an informal admission (you go in voluntarily) or section (they detain you against your will) that you go in voluntarily.

The problem with letting Twitter be Twitter is that Twitter took money on the promise of being something other that just Twitter.

Or to put it in analogy form. You give me $500,000 to buy you a Ferrari and I give you a Toyota Corolla.

You complain that I haven't held up my end of the bargain and I point out that the Corolla is a perfectly fine car that can get you from point a to point b and even has some strengths when compared to the Ferrari, so why are you complaining?

That's the point Twitter is at right now. They took the money to be something other than what they are right now. If Twitter wants to be just Twitter, that's fine, but you'll need to cut their 20 Billion market cap down to somewhere around a 3-4 Billion market cap, I don't have a model with me right now.

having said that, Twitter has some good things going for it.

- Mobile Advertising numbers are up Year over year

- Data licensing revenue is up

- monthly active users are up

IMHO, twitter just needs to shrink in size or find a way to really start growing revenue.

EDIT to the child comment, you are confusing revenue and earnings. There is a huge difference between the two:)

The government and public quite literally owned half of Union Carbide company at the time of the disaster. Fault can't really get more directly placed than that.

The hopes of private industry are that an entirely private corporation, in order to protect its brand's value, needs to avoid this sort of thing. Add government funding to the mix, and everything is up in the air. Lockheed's F-35 project is another example of a disaster, but of the financial sort instead. If funded by another private company, rather than the government, this project would have been shut down and Lockheed would have already been sued into bankruptcy. Instead, Lockheed continues to be paid billions, while their treasonous corporation holds our national security hostage.

He's right on the fact that something has to be done. But autodownloading things isn't necessarily the solution.

There's an over-saturation of applications out there and most of them are useless. App developers need to recognize the fact that whilst smartphones are becoming the primary computing devices for a large part of the market, the usecases are largely the same as with most other computing devices - media, finances, shopping and social interactions. And you can do most of that with 10 applications at most.

Personally I haven't come across an application that would prove to be useful or enable a new use case for my phone in the past 2 years.
The cartels can probably rely on police, military, media, and other institutional support more than any other set of businesses in Mexico now. Legalization would undercut cartel violence in Mexico because it would open up more competition and drop prices in the US market, so that the flow of money that supports their empire of corruption and violence would be shut off.

No, until the mental disorder is controlled. After all avenues of curing are exhausted, and it's still not under control, then they can be released, provided there's no significant risk that they'll harm others or themselves.

Strangely this sounds like it might work. I've been thinking about a lot of different projects, and end up doing absolutely nothing. There's also a lot of small stuff that, if I did an MVP, would actually be close enough to ship and be useful. Though I'm not sure about the projects I'm most interested in; they are fairly big and getting to MVP could be many months (so doing even 3 would take a couple of years).

I'm gonna try writing these ideas down. Thanks for the idea!

I'd say that the Maritime provinces have been taking more of the flood/storm damage the last few years. The 2013 flood in Southern Alberta was (or so I was told) was due to a sudden set of warm days in the mountains, and a great deal of the snow suddenly melted. That was a bit of a one off weather event. If you google storms in the maritime provinces for the past few years, you can see that they have been hit far harder than Alberta. http://www.theweathernetwork.com/news/articles/atlantic-stor... http://www.journalpioneer.com/News/Local/2014-03-27/article-... http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/prince-edward-island/storms-co... http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/maritimes-soake... are just a few examples
The "last guy" did what you described already.

I once had a very bad episode where I didn't take my medication as I ran out. It's an anti-depressant, not an anti-psychotic or anything like that as I just have depression.

I felt restless that night, and I'd just been made redundant, so I drove my car to an all-night diner. For whatever reason, I somehow managed to go through a red light and a cop pulled me over and issued me with a $500 ticket.

I basically felt destroyed inside. I'd just lost my job, I was hungry, and I felt I'd just let down my family - and I was suffering from withdrawal from the anti-depressants. I freaked out, left my car and wandered the streets. I honestly can't recall much, but I do know it started raining on me and I do know I was thinking about death. The police came and put me in an ambulance. I arrived in the ED, and was placed in a mental health ward.

It was the worst experience of my life. I have never been treated so badly, or had my rights and dignity stripped away so thoroughly and systematically. They didn't chart my medication properly, they put me in a freezing room overnight with not enough bedsheets, the building leaked everywhere (even the light sockets had water going through it), there were people having psychotic episodes or hearing voices, it was terrible food and no staff gave me any counselling or even asked how I was. What's worse was that I recovered very, very quickly so I was fully cognizant of what was happening. When I asked for my correct medication, I was told I was being unreasonable and "You don't get anywhere here by being demanding you know!" was the answer given to me by the nurse on duty (I put in a complaint and then admitted they had made a major mistake in charting my medication).

So THAT'S why we don't institutionalise people. I don't care what facility it is, if the person isn't harming themselves, that's the wrong place for them. I can assure you, if I ever have thoughts of suicide, I will never admit it to the police or any health worker in case they put me back in that place. One night in that place was more than enough. I will either commit the act (God, I hope it never gets that bad!) or I'll suffer in silence.

Optimum temperature from TFA:

Egg white:

* At 180 degrees: The main protein in egg whites—ovalbumen—will cross-link and solidify, giving you a totally firm egg white (see the whites of the 7 and 9 minute eggs).

Egg yolks, on the other hand, follow a different set of temperatures:

* At 145 degrees: They begin to thicken and set up.

* At 158 degrees: They become totally firm, but are still bright orange and shiny.

----

A sous vide setup might work, but it probably isn't worth the effort for eggs. You would want to set the temperature to 145..158 degrees, depending on your desired yoke consistency and then drop the egg in boiling water to finish the whites to 180 degrees.

TBD is whether the 145 degree sous vide temperature hurts peel-ability (likely) and how long to cook the egg to finish the whites properly without overcooking the yoke.

There are, to change the domain somewhat, other lifelong illnesses, which arent mental disorders. TDR-TB -- totally drug resistant tuberculosis -- is one of these. Worse, unlike schizophrenia, it's contagious.

And the only viable public health responses are either a total quarantine of infected populations, or killing them.

If you reject the latter, and i hope that you do, you're left with a situation not much different from that posed by schizophrenia: the prospect of institutionalisation, but under terms and conditions in which the afflicted will prefer and seek out that option. Or at the very least not resist it.

I'll also note that lifelong imprisonment is not necessarily the only option, you're appealing to the extreme here. Though sometimes, yes, that _is_ what society must do.
The problem with Tennessee Whiskey is that the style is almost extinct. Until recently, in the TN state constitution, only three counties were allowed to have distilleries. Therefore, we have Jack Daniels (which is honestly awful), Dickle (which is quite good, i.m.o., and #12 is a good example of TN whiskey, albeit cheap), and the other county had no active distilleries. Now there are a couple of others on the market, which are very good, but a touch pricey for what they are.

In practice, most TN whiskey is home distilled, and not barrel-aged. (and also, never sold) Instead, you "char" the whiskey by putting charred birch, maple, or oak sticks inside a bottle and then aging for a relatively short time. Commercially-produced TN whiskey is always barrel aged, though.

Process-wise, the key difference is charcoal filtering before aging (Search for "Lincon County Process"). Taste-wise, it varies, but TN whiskey is usually less sweet than bourbon. It's still corn whiskey, so it's relatively sweet and has a hint of that distinct sour mash taste. However, I've never had one that's as "sticky-sweet" as Makers Mark, Woodford Reserve, Four Roses, or the other really sweet bourbons.
