Medical Cannabis Laws and Opioid Analgesic Overdose Mortality in the United States, 1999-2010 The United States is collectively mad, but we do show occasional glimmers of sanity. My state, Michigan, legalized cannabis last election.

Hmmm, Pelham, Ontario. Looking it up, I see that it's close to the Welland Canal. You ever go over there to watch the ships? When I was a kid, my parents and I stayed at a campground near the canal a couple of times, although it probably was clos…

It went subzero here, too, and I haven't left the house. I probably won't tomorrow, either.

@Clme said: Is art political if the message the viewer takes from the art is political, or is it only political if the artist intended it to be? I think it's political or politically adjacent no matter what you do. Humans are social anima…

He Played Handball For Australia's Men's Team. Now Transgender, He's Dominating Women's Handball. Judging from the picture, what they mean by handball and what Americans mean by handball are two different things.

It's a joke making fun of modern discrimination theory, which is insane.

@fenomas said: I'm not sure I follow the hype. It sounds like we're essentially talking about machine learning, applied to medicine - which is huge and exciting, certainly. But is genome data a particularly useful signal? I mean, if you want an A…

The company above has now launched. Also, for two days and the first one thousand orders, Veritas -- a separate company from the above -- is offering a 30X full genome sequencing for $199. Even with the costs of biotech plummeting, that is a grea…

About the age of attempting wizardry, I figure there will be lore that gets out about the optimal way to do things, in story. Out story, you can be sure that some SOB will spot it if the story becomes popular. "But why wouldn't they wait to age 50 t…
