@tomjennings Wow, that's young. I didn't encounter pot until I was 16, and then and now I was the person who just handed the joint on to the next person and didn't try it. I knew a guy freshman year in college who used LSD and it seemed enormously daring and dangerous. (He was a mess.)

@nixcraft Plus, the costs when users stop updating to avoid the LLM and don't get security patches as a result...

@ninapaley Similar problem - and I live in UK. A friend's solution was to bring a bottle of high-quality olive oil.
