Quote me. Quote me. I have no interest in them, and haven't mentioned them at all. If you think I have, well, you know what to do to support your claim. There are a couple of big hints above.

So, set them lower. They don't need to be zero to push out the illegal players, just not nutso. Tobacco tax is high enough here that there's lots of smuggling and even some illegal growing. But that's not really much of a problem; They have to compete with lawful supplies, so quality is much...

Like a propane tank? :)

You can pee in your pod all you like, but this is a discussion board; It doesn't, by its very nature, have goals beyond the entertainment of its contributors.

Yup. But occasionally, it does. It just takes exactly the wrong set of circumstances.

The thing is, you have Translink officers and mobile Bus Operations units who can (and do) go to the stops that are being bypassed, and advise people of the new pick-up point. Which is these days also made available in real time on the Translink app and website. And the really big thing is...

If you want to reduce the drug trade, there is already a successful pilot program to simply follow. The USA had a massive problem with gangs, organised crime, and high levels of substance abuse (including a criminal drug use culture that pervaded much of society), around a single drug that...

No, the thing is that AI, which might, debatably have (or soon have) Intelligence, is not in any way designed to have AE - Artificial Emotion. Mothers support their children's interest over their own (sometimes, mostly), and pet owners support their pets, because of their endocrine systems, not...
