Wow! What kind of bleach is she using? The only kind I know of emits toxic, highly corrosive chlorine gas, which rapidly destroys lung tissues. Perhaps she's not so much 'high' as lacking oxygen?

Just seen the trailer for Galak Z
Takes me back to the 1980's arcades but now with far bigger universes and more upgrades.
I foresee a lot of time spent on my own in a darkened bedroom.
It will be like I am 14 all over again, but without the awkwardness and acne.

IMHO this is just the tip of the iceburg, it's going to get a lot worse. Civil unrest is going to be common and the government is going to try to control it with brute force.

Hate to burst your bubble but civil "unrest" is a common place in the US and has been so probably for at least 20 years. Probably helped significantly by the internet. On any given day and every single day excluding extreme weather, there are multiple public gatherings of protesters. And this says nothing about the posts that people make on the internet.
And for the most part the police are much more lenient in the last 20 years towards certain acts of civil disobedience even when they break laws as long as there is a minimal amount of that.
The difference between all of that and the act above however is that those people do not attempt to kill other people. And killing other people is a crime - civil rights do not trump criminal law. So yes the government is going to stop it, now and in the future.

A lawyer dies in a car accident on his 40th birthday and finds himself at the Pearly Gates. A brass band is playing, the angels are singing a beautiful hymn, there is a huge crowd cheering and shouting his name, and absolutely everyone wants to shake his hand.
Just when he thinks things can't possibly get any better, Saint Peter himself runs over, apologises for not greeting him personally at the Pearly Gates, shakes his hand, and says "Congratulations son, we've been waiting a long time for you".
Totally confused and a little embarrassed, the lawyer sheepishly looks at Saint Peter and says "Saint Peter, I tried to lead a God-fearing life, I loved my family, I tried to obey the 10 Commandments, but congratulations for what? I honestly don't remember doing anything really special when I was alive". "Congratulations for what?" says Saint Peter, totally amazed at the man's modesty. "We're celebrating the fact that you lived to be 160 years old! God himself wants to see you!"
The lawyer is awestruck and can only look at Saint Peter with his mouth wide open. When he regains his power of speech, he looks up at Saint Peter and says "Saint Peter, I lived my life in the eternal hope that when I died I would be judged by God and be found to be worthy... but I only lived to be forty".
"That's simply impossible son" says Saint Peter. "We've added up your billing hours".
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man adapts the world to himself.
Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

Unfortunately, I had a lawyer try to pad his bill with me. It was blindingly obvious his secretary had put together the contract from some boilerplate software. I refused to pay the bill and wrote a letter to the senior partners explaining why. They never bugged my business partner and I again about that bill.

Kindof.
Bought a new 2013 Civic last week. I did a lot of research and the test drive went great. I love the car, except for the driver's seat, which becomes very uncomfortable after a few minutes. The headrest leans forward at a crazy angle and the lumbar support is too hard, too high and protrudes too much. Why I didn't notice during the test drive is a mystery to me, but I've learned I'm not alone. It seems that the seat does feel okay when first driving, but day-in and day-out it just hammers your back.
Taking it back is an option, but I'd lose a few thousand, and I otherwise like the car, so the solution is to fix the seat. Anyone have advise on this? Perhaps get the seat modified by a pro or buy an aftermarket seat.
BTW, the seat problems come up in none of the reviews. Perhaps reviewers are so used to crappy car seats, they didn't notice or they had the same--fine-in-test, bad-over-time reaction I and others have had. In my quest for a solution, I've found that in the past few years there has been a surge in complaints about car seats. It seems that the NHTSA changed standards for head rests in 2008 and it's now having a dramatic and negative effect on car comfort, though some companies are worse than others (I've read that Honda--with the Accord being the worse--Ford and Mazda are notoriously bad, which means going to another car isn't a solution either.)

I noticed that when I had a new Ford Fiesta as a hire car for a month this summer - the drivers seat is frankly appalling. It's based on a "waffle" design, so you are sitting on a bunch of "ridges". It's probably ok if you are on a long journey - couple hundred miles in a single sitting - but for short journeys it really was a PITA...
