While blood alcohol levels have a well known track record, marijuana/THC blood levels do not. In that US research into marijuana has been severely hampered for decades by governmental prohibition, it seems unlikely that there are any sort of accepted standards or demonstrated relationships between a marijuana buzz

Yet another validation of my long term thinking and fashion forward trendsetting.

I'm sure that after four days and 443 replies, no one has yet pointed out that this "swimsuit" is just a cheap cloth hair band pulled up over one leg until it covers one's junk, barely. No complicated attachment schemes needed.

Yep, I was just making four sins against one regulation.

When you do things on the Internet, there's always a chance of being seen from far, far away.

By name are you referring to God, Yahweh, YHVH, or Jehovah?

No, the anti-sodomy laws were perfectly equitable as far as race goes, in that they took no notice of race in any way.

Just the usual suspects. Parents who have no idea what their kids are up to and kids who have no way to tell fantasy from reality.

Meal time violence always goes better with lunch.

Sorry. TL/DR. Will come back to it later but you've gotten off on the wrong foot and then try to use that to justify your entire dance.

Key difference is that implanted kung fu moves are invoked by the user/brain owner, a very different scenario from having an external intelligence take over one's brain. So static vs dynamic is not the best dichotomy to hang that on. Acknowledged. Doesn't erase the fundamental difference between the two types of

Seems if they'd had a brain editing option they'd have used it. Instead of trying make an ideal world for the people, as the Architect referred to Matrix v.1, make people that'd be happy with whatever they got.

Even a book that reads itself to you is static compared to embedding another intelligence within your brain. Kung Fu, with moves as enacted by the user, is relatively static compared to an active intelligence because it requires the user's choice for a move to happen.

The various martial arts and other skill trainings would be more like packages of data, accessible but not active. Smith in Bane however was very active.

Of course this is a speculative exercise, but I don't think the movies ever showed someone in or out of the Matrix after being taken over by agents, except as a corpse, and Bane is the only one shown to be "possessed" in Zion.

Inside the Matrix, agents don't take over the physical person, they usurp control of the inMatrix avatar, though effects can be backward propagated through the connection between physical person and inMatrix avatar. That's what made Mr Smith's infection of Bane so odd.

Dot matrix display. He was awoken by the sound of the green phosphors impacting the inside of the tube.

I'll have to go home to watch the video, but of the many oddities in the Matrix...
