Canadian Press: Martha Stewart to work with Canopy Growth in developing cannabidiol products

(For those who don't know, Canopy Growth is one of the largest marijuana producers in Canada.)

I can see it now: "Eat this and get high. And that's a good thing."

  Rajvik, is this you?

Or just someone whose opinions you'd agree with? I mean, I accused him of being you in comments, but in retrospect, that's a pretty serious accusation and I should've checked sooner. (If you are he, of course, I claim my five pounds.)

  Roll20 Data Breach
Posted by: Epsilon - 02-26-2019, 02:57 AM - Forum: General Chatter - No Replies

https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/720969...ity-breach

A while back I recommened Roll20 for online gaming. If you  have an account, do a two factor authentication password reset.


Quote:Based off the account numbers from breached data, we've determined this took place on approximately December 26th. The data size (~700MB) is consistent with being our "account object," which, as earlier stated, contains name, email address, last four of credit card, most recent IP address, and hashed & salted password. While the hash & salt should keep passwords safe, it never hurts to reset. We are continuing to work internally and with outside investigators to determine the methodology of breach, while also fulfilling GDPR requirements and notifying appropriate law enforcement.

  A page on All The Tropes?

First, do we want one?

Second, if the answer to the above is "yes", is this ready to launch?

Because Sabaton. Frankly I'm pretty sure that if they'd been around when Doug was active at home, they'd have been on his "sponsor heavily" list.

  So, no second term for Trump?

The Guardian opinion: 'You're fired!' America has already terminated Trump

Quote:When the public fires a president before election day, as it did Jimmy Carter, Nixon and Herbert Hoover, they don’t send him a letter telling him he’s fired.

They just make him irrelevant. Politics happens around him, despite him. He’s not literally gone but he might as well be.


The op-ed is clear that this is about Trump, not the Republican Party:

Quote:Senate Republicans are quietly subverting him. Even Mitch McConnell told him to end the shutdown.


Hey, with all the free time he has in being a figurehead, maybe he can work on his waistline.

This is the epitome of Bad Ideas(tm).  The ultimate in the Darwin Awards because you're not just trying to remove yourself from the genepool, but the whole goddamned species as well!!!




Someone tell me this shit isn't happening.  Someone tell me that our own fucking administration isn't showing the goddamned Saudis how to make nukes!!!  (Because that's what "sensitive US nuclear technology" is!)

  Can Trump take credit for the Green New Deal?
Posted by: robkelk - 02-19-2019, 09:02 AM - Forum: Politics and Other Fun - No Replies

I thought for a while about posting this one, because the article itself isn't up to my usual standards of objectivity. However, the base premise appears sound.

CBC Analysis: Why Trump can take credit for his opponents' Green New Deal

tl;dr: By abandoning this issue (and apparently denying that it exists), Trump "has handed the Democrats carte blanche on the issue". (The article makes its point, then goes on to talk as if the Democrats being elected in 2020 is a done deal.)
