If you zoom in enough you'll see it was actually written into the speech as "uRbAn"

Nah that would have made too much sense - you need to click on just the right in-text hyperlink to find it

TIL about Italy's shunning of their past in contrast to the "collective guilt" felt by Germans after WWII

Italians embrace their cultural and gastronomic exports while shunning certain parts of their history - I wouldn't say that's racist... In fact I would call that humanizing

I wonder what their response would be to a bunch of lemmings outside the reach of Germany's laws doing the same?

Oh-i wasn't expecting anyone to ask a follow-up... I think so, tbh it feels like every website says differently and when you read through it's because they are all advertising a some brand of cleaner.

Ideally you want the polyester wicking moisture away from you and imo detergent always leaves a waxxy-feeling residual layer that is seemingly less noticeable on clothes made of cotton or other natural fibers.

Ouff, seems like that word is tainted now (I assume you were using it to describe the courts corruption and not some perceived corruption on the part of Dems)

Reminds me of this quote I came across the other day about Marbury v Madison

Thomas Jefferson to Abigail Smith Adams, September 11, 1804, "but the opinion which gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional, and what not, not only for themselves in their own sphere of action, but for the legislature & executive also in their spheres, would make the judiciary a despotic branch."

It doesn't necessarily need to have teeth since the court has no enforcement mechanism when declaring something unconstitutional. Instead of putting teeth into the law itself, one could argue that if justices were found to be "unethical" it reduces the likelihood that that judges decision is unbiased and opens the door to govt just ignorimg the cases in which an unethical judge tips the scale on which side makes up the majority of the court....

Still doubt any of that happens though because Dems are the govt now

Drug has a pretty loose definition - anything with a physiological effect; but I was trained to think a drug as being those chemicals which can cross the blood brain barrier (BBB).

Alcohols can increase permeability of the BBB to solubilized substances in the blood so isopropyl would be able to affect the brain. Since a molecule has to cross lipid membranes (the capillary cell membranes etc) it's most dependent on the polarity and size of the molecule.

any positive effects

This is another valid way to define a drug depending on which branch of science one is inclined to study but I prefer to think of this as merely adding a characteristic to that molecule; i.e. addictive qualities
