Make it 91. I hope you'll be fine, Monk.

On unrelated news, my mother's motherland wants to build a nuclear central by 2025, such a bad idea on several levels...

Well, that was uneventful. -o-; As usual + thank goodness. The rain's already stopped and everything, and it doesn't look like we'll be getting anything more tonight.

That's good to hear, Monk! Your title fits nicely in this situation. :lol:

I hope the relief efforts in Oklahoma begin swiftly.

It's things like this that give me an urge to switch from physics to applied sciences....

You're taking programming courses but majoring in physics?

XBOX 1 announced. Looks like a PC. Didn't see any of the hardware innovations of the PS4. And no backwards compatibility, even for the games you bought on XBOX Live. Wasn't expecting PS4 to show this strong this soon.

Well, programming is useful for most sciences anyway, since there's a lot of simulation involved. I was once more certain of my choice in physics, but recent experiences have shifted my interest towards computer science and engineering. I'm still entering college as a physics major, but I'll probably end up switching once I've taken a few courses and covered some of my bases.

Hemp is an all-round excellent crop for high quality plant fibre that just happened to fall foul of anti-ganja legislation about a hundred years ago.

No thanks to corporate, greedy, cotton-loving douchebags like William Hearst and Henry J. Anslinger who was head of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics at the time, they were the ones who had it illegalized in the US despite the fact that some of America's founding fathers grew and supported hemp. I dont know how it was made illegal for you Europeans though.

The legalization issue may warrant a thread of its own (there was a thread about it somewhere here, though).
