"HGH is nothing. Anyone who calls it a steroid is grossly misinformed,"...So why is BusinessWeek so picky? Accessing a "deep link" takes a reader to pages several layers within a site—they carry far less advertising space than the site's homepage, which is where they'd rather greet you. This kind of myopia makes it okay to link to Google's version of a BusinessWeek piece (giving the traffic to the search engine), but not to the BW article page itself. Courts have generally ruled that so long as you make it clear who the owner is, no URL is more valuable than another. But hey, they're a big scary magazine! Do as they say. At least, until they realize their business model is retarded.
Using Facebook, Virgil downloaded the ten most popular books at
every college ("manually, as not to violate Facebook's ToS"), then
the average SAT/ACT scores for students attending every college.
The end result looks a little like this: Books <=> Colleges
<=> Average SAT Scores. ("YES! I'm aware correlation ≠
causation," he adds nerdily). We must point out that low SAT scores
may also cause people to read dumber books--but all in all,
well-played, sir!
Don't take depressants together! Don't mix benzodiazepines with sleeping pills! Or opioids! Or antihistamines! But especially opioids.
About 75% of all overdose deaths involve drug combinations: the most deadly combinations seem to involve opioids plus other depressants. According to the federal Drug Abuse Warning Network, more overdose deaths are caused by opioid mixtures than by any other single drug or combination of drugs.
And there's good news!
Cocaine use is reported in a significant minority of overdose deaths: however, because cocaine counteracts some of the sedating effects of depressants, it may actually reduce overdose risk from opioids.
(Just avoid shooting it.)
And finally, the most important advice of all for current or aspiring celebrity partyboys (and girls): "if you have been addicted, and then quit, the dose you can tolerate after detox is far lower than the dose you could tolerate before."
Stick with one downer at a time, if you must mix use a little coke, and if you must quit, ease yourself back into it. And have a great weekend!
