Some countries take it further and anything above a tiny amount (like 0.02) will get you a criminal record… although usually at such small amounts it’s just a fine and/or points on your licence, using bans and prison sentences for higher levels (like the US levels you describe).

This to me is the right approach - it’s long been proven that even regular drinkers suffer an impact on reaction times and anticipation with even a small amount of alcohol, so it really should be zero tolerance. I can’t think of any other situation where you’d be allowed to control a two ton piece of metal at 60+ mph around other people, houses, cars etc without having proper control.

What’s the practical difference between illegal and criminal in the US? To me, a Brit, they are the same thing.

Ditto… just yesterday I went all in and wiped my drive to put Mint on, decided not to bother with a halfway house or dual booting.

Apart from some minor hardware driver issues, so far so good!

It’s probably due to the word batard in French meaning something of a dual nature or dubious origin (and can therefore also be used for our more usual use of the word bastard).

As the bastard, or hand a half, sword is halfway in length between the single handed long sword and the two handed great sword and could be used either way. The French specifically call it an epee batard and IIRC correctly there’s a type of French bread called a batard which is like a hybrid of a loaf and a baguette.

I used to take an antihistamine called loratadine before bed and it started giving me horrendous nightmares, so yes meds can definitely affect dreams. Doc moved me onto a nose spray called Avamys and they went away (and the spray was more affective anyway)

It’s an interesting question… until not many years ago, you couldn’t even be a police officer in the UK if you had visible tattoos.

I believe the rule now is they can’t be “inappropriate” if visible.

So the vaccines are safe now…?

What could possibly go wrong 🤦🏻‍♂️

Cranking…

Probably a Hardy Boys book, I used to devour those as a pre-teen.

Great game with very emotional storytelling.

For those that remember the late TotalBiscuit, it was his favourite game.

It did for me 🤷🏻‍♂️

FWIW, ChatGPT 5 gets this correct
