Exactly my response to someone above.

This restaurant doesn’t have a “dress code”. Restaurants that do make it clearly visible and understood to anyone who wants to eat there. What this restaurant has is some nebulous “policy” from the annals of Studio 54 designed to give the host and GM the ability to turn away…

This following statement isn’t defending this particular restaurant, because when the dress code is simply “fashionable”, it becomes so vague that it’s clear it’s being used to turn away any “undesirables” (read: people who aren’t white).

That being said, it’s more than understandable if an upscale restaurant has a…

My mother had an aortic dissection a few years back. I was out at a bar, and found out from my brother and my aunt that mom had went to sleep with some chest pains, and thought nothing of it. The pains got worse, and she had the wherewithall to call someone to take her to the hospital. They were able to do emergency…

Adderall either leaves me jawing with an increased heartrate without the pleasurable benefits of other stimulants, or does nothing.

Personality-wise, weed doesn’t do it for me (in other words, it would never be my first choice), but I recognize all of the beneficial impacts and pleasure it has for other people

River Phoenix too 

I stay away from any depressants short of the aforementioned Scotch (alcohol in general, really) and the occasional aspirin.

Hell, I tore my achilles two months ago and refused Vicodin and Percocet. Shit just doesn’t work for me.

Wait till he graduates to cocaine and Scotch...

If you hadn’t already shown your lack of reading comprehension, I’d expect you to know that your driveway is still part of your home, and that Ohio is one of many states where self-defense does not require a duty to retreat. Read up on the requisite statutes before you waste time with unlettered replies.

Have a good…

You’re a bit off about self-defense.

Many states and municipalities (including Ohio, where this took place), when it comes to self-defense, have statutes that state that a person defending themselves have no duty to retreat, which I believe is what you’re referring to. In fact, chasing after some fleeing can still…

I live in Tampa, and it’s been odd (and I say this as someone who has consistently gone out and done things since early May of last year, when Florida first began small reopenings of restaurants).

Certain places are very strict. However, you can literally walk across the street and be at an establishment that’s filled…

Here’s the thing.

The shooting statistics in terms of shots fired vs shots landed are wildly against cops using their weapons. They miss around 70% of the time. Now, while batting .300 is great when you’re talking about baseball, it’s not so good when you’re talking about both a deadly weapon and in a situation where…

With RDJ and Tim Allen, another aspect might be the fact their biggest roles have both come from playing characters beloved by a younger demographic: RDJ being Tony Stark, Tim Allen being Buzz Lightyear (and to a much lesser extent, Santa Clause). Not for nothing, both characters eventually came to be owned by Disney,…

There’s a good chance that much of RDJs conservatism was obscured by his general rakishness and addiction issues.

By the time he reemerged as a global superstar in 2008, he surely knew he had hit a once-in-a-lifetime jackpot and could easily keep his opinions to himself if Marvel (then Marvel via Disney) wanted to keep…

When it comes to a driver walking away, it would require a confluence of unlikely events.

A crash at a speed high enough to cause a serious crash and subsequent fire in a residential neighborhood. Two passengers being unable to leave the vehicle due to either being incapacitated to the point of being unable to escape,…

While that could be the case, I don’t see why either Elon (who has the data logs) wouldn’t come out and say that the logs show driver activity and no FSD activiation, or the fire chief wouldn’t say that once extinguished, neither one of the deceased was found in the driver’s seat. In both cases, there’s a benefit to…

Presumably two wealthy people (that suburb is home to rows of multi-million dollar houses, and we just found out one is a prominent doctor) in a car from a company that makes headlines, both die in a crash that causes a fire, yet neither one was in the driver’s seat (if one was, surely Tesla would release the data…

Unless it’s a charge card (like American Express), then having a monthly limit on a credit card isn’t really a thing. There’s a credit limit, and while it functions as a monthly limit only in the sense that payments (which are set with a minimum payment amount + accrued interest and any other fees) occur every month,…

There hasn’t been a Supreme Court Justice who entered politics in any meaningful way since the 1930s (and even then, he was appointed to a Cabinet position, not an elected office). In fact, there’s only been ONE ex-Justice who won elected office (John Jay back in 1795) Becoming a Supreme Court Justice is usually the…

Easier (and in some ways cheaper) to purchase a product/platform with an already-installed user base than developing (or altering a currently existing) a new one and hoping to either take from the user base of the competitors, or compel new users.

Also, $10b is nothing to Microsoft when looking at their cash on hand…

Most tech valuations make absolutely no sense from a classical revenue/profit/cash flow/loss perspective, especially ones which function as social media networks. When looking at those, the valuation is driven in large part by the assumption that the users of the platform have a value based on their personal…
