You claim that the science is concrete but cite no actual studies. I’m assuming that this kind of behavior is going to be a good indicator of the product’s actual effectiveness on driving safety overall.
“ In seven of ten studies cited, cannabis use was associated with a decrease in driving speed despite explicit instructions to maintain a particular speed, whereas under the influence of alcohol, subjects consistently drove faster. Two simulator studies showed that the tendency to overtake was decreased with cannabis use but increased with alcohol.52, 53 One simulator study and two on-road studies examining car-following behavior concluded that cannabis smokers tend to increase the distance between themselves and the car in front of them.41, 45 Other studies have found no adverse effects of marijuana use on sign detection,49 a sudden lane-changing task,43 or the detection of and response to hazardous events.”
"Epidemiological studies have been inconclusive regarding whether cannabis use causes an increased risk of accidents; in contrast, unanimity exists that alcohol use increases crash risk" - direct quote from your link.
That study is about alcohol combined with cannabis (i.e. presuming effect then striving to find a cause).
"marijuana smokers tend to compensate effectively for their impairment by utilizing a variety of behavioral strategies such as driving more slowly, passing less, and leaving more space between themselves and cars in front of them."
However, the missile was used to great effect by the Iranians in the Iran-Iraq war.
Part of the reason the US only got to fire it 3 times was probably just how effective it was in Iranian hands. Because when Iraqi MiGs detected the radar of the F-14, they always immediately fled. The Iranians still field the old missiles in active service, and have recently publicized that they are manufacturing a domestically produced clone of it, called the Fakour-90.

Not to mention that the Navy generally preferred not to fly the tomcat if there was anything else that was available to do the job (for good reasons) so that greatly limited the AIM-54's exposure to potential targets. It's a good missile but it's fundamentally old technology and fielding it is resource intensive compared to newer tech. It's also heavy, no reason to strap that thing to your plane unless you expect to need to blow a bomber out of the sky or you're gonna be going up against someone with similar long range capability.
The Iranians made heavy use of it because they had no better options and they clearly like it enough that they built a clone (probably modernized with digital electronics and a more modern warhead) to replace it.
The Phoenix missile was designed primarily to counter massed formations of Tu-16 and Tu-22 bombers before said bombers could get within missile range of the carrier group. It obviously never got the chance to do that.
Yes, race is a feature of facial recognition. Is that racist? This algorithm seems to be specifically built to detect non-ethnic Chinese faces to further discrimination.
Kaiser’s system works better than a lot of others, but for me having to drive 40 minutes for a prescription is outrageous when I have 20 other pharmacies in a 15 minute radius.
If the prescriptions are just for fairly routine drugs (diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol, etc), I've found that most of them are cheaper paying the cash price at Walmart than the insured price at Kaiser, or paying the GoodRx price at Safeway.
What I do now is have my Kaiser doctor give me an old-fashioned written prescription on paper, take it to the Kaiser pharmacy that is in the same building as the doctor's office, and ask them what my out of pocket cost will be. While they are figuring that out, I look up my non-Kaiser options in the GoodRx app on my phone. When I get the cost from the Kaiser pharmacy, I can then decide where to actually have it filled.
It was similar before I had Kaiser. The Walmart cash price or the GoodRx price was often less than my copay with Premera or LifeWise if I used insurance.
Which the ACA has made decidedly worse for nearly everyone. The costs have gone though the roof and since at least 2014 or so, I can only get high deductible plans though my employers.
Any system that increase the amount of healthcare being provided without a corresponding increase in supply of healthcare providers would have done the same.
Life was greatly improved for those who didn’t have employer sponsored insurance and pre-existing conditions. And women of child bearing age. Now that they can actually get healthcare, someone has to pay for it, which is everyone.
You can hate insurance prices, and you can hate the ACA, and you can even hate Obama if you so desire, but don't hate the ACA because of insurance cost increases because it SLOWED THEM DOWN.
You're confusing correlation and causation. Health insurance costs have been rising faster than inflation for decades, but the ACA actually slowed that growth through a variety of measures - one of the simplest being that insurance companies had to be paying for healthcare with at least a minimum percentage of what they charged in premiums - prior to that they could deny everything and put the savings into executive bonuses for performance.
Some reference points with links to source information, though you may have to look at news articles for 2018/2019 numbers. The Kiplinger article notes ~5% for 2019, still well below the 9.9% average between 83-92 or the 6.4% average between 93-2010. Post-ACA, prices between 2010-2017 ran ~4.3% average increases, so it has been creeping up since 2017 for some reason cough.

Assuming that there was in fact shrinking, could that be caused by being in a warm climate for an extended period of time? Studies have shown that heat affects cognitive ability, but has anyone ever studied if there’s a temporary efect on brain size?
