So, I've got Rinne G NAS as my stud goalie in this auction draft I do every season...
...and he goes down with this hip infection. Gone for at least a month. So I pick up J.S. Giguere as he's the best goalie available, back-up status notwithstanding.

Would a 3-Party System Really Be Better?
With all the increasing discontent over the latest issues in D.C. coupled with the Tea Party and Libertarian Republicans getting more air time, it seems as if there's a bit more sentiment towards a 3-party system among citizens. That being said...would it really be better? Would it really change anything beyond adding a Tea Party/Libertarian/Party X cable news network the way Fox = Republicans and MSNBC = Democrats?

Work at home? I work in an office.
Discuss. I think word should be done at the office. YES, I've seen the TedX movie, it was brilliant, but I still think having a place where you physically meet and greet your colleagues is important and - dinosaur that I am - I think it's where the work should be done if it's in fact office work.

checked out my rating....
so.... i've been playing a bunch of wta games lately, and usually surviving or defeated with a few draws here and there. Now i go check my rating... Position: 9822 / 9823 (top 100%) Really...? am i really the second worst player in the game? I would assume there are a bunch of people who haven't won, and plus i have more draws than defeats. I'm confused

I'd say that the world's worst drug is desomorphine. What do you guys think? In other words, what is the last mind-altering substance that you would voluntarily take?

Desomorphine isn't that much worse than heroin. It's more addictive, but it's the heavy metals and other toxins in krokodil that kill people so quickly and horrifically.

Isn't that much worse? More addictive, shorter buzz (meaning you will want to use it more often), plus, contains toxins and....oh, did we mention it causes your flesh to rot off....but not that much worse than heroine?

Sorry abge, it's definitely worse than heroine

@krellin

I'll type slower for your benefit.

Desomorphine, while more addictive than diacetylmorphine (the active ingredient in heroin), is not otherwise that much more dangerous.

The cheapest and easiest way of making Desomorphine is Krokodil, which uses mainly paint thinner and Red Phosphorous. It is these added ingredients that cause that tell-tale signs of Krokodil use (rotting flesh, etc). Desomporhine alone will not do this.

Scopolamine, guys, without contest. It's scary to think about what it can do to the one who willingly takes it but more scary to think about what the taker can do with it to someone else simply by breathing on them. It is the only drug I can think of off the top of my head that is inherently dangerous to others without the use of a car or gun or something like that.

Grew behind the house I grew up at. Thank God I never was stupid enough to ingest it, or that I never accidentally did so.

We're talking about a drug that produced hyper-real nightmarish hallucinations AND makes you forget you are on a drug AND will kill you if you don't get your stomach pumped within a few days.

Why people do this on purpose I will never know.

Although alcohol is the drug I'd be most horrified to be addicted to. Alcohol withdrawal symptoms can literally kill you.

@ Gen. Lee

Krokodil is homemade desomorphine. It's the poor man's heroin. You make it by mixing paint thinner, gasoline, red phosphorous, and codeine. You then inject it. It makes your skin melt via gangrene.
Gen. Lee (7588 D(B))

But it doesn't rot your flesh in the first hit! Ok that is nasty, but really Russia? Codeine is OTC?

Gunfighter06 (224 D)

I'm not expert, but I'm pretty sure they don't even make an attempt to separate the solvents from the desomorphine. So yeah, you're injecting gasoline, red phosphorous, and paint thinner directly into your veins.
