I'm just thinking of stopping it like you pointed but I want to use marijuana to aid the healing process. Though I smoke but it's just occasionally like last year I smoked twice. Year before was like 3 times. So I feel by using marijuana to aid me in stopping it I will also stop smoking too since I wouldn't be addicted. Am I doing the right thing?

You want to replace one poison for another poison, lol!

Who told you you wouldn't be addicted to marijuana?

fattprince:
Thanks so much. I will try my best with God's grace to give it up this year. I think being introverted is making it harder for me

"Introverted" is an excuse we use to justify our "best", which really is our weakness.

God has graced us by showing us the consequences of our errors and how to cure ourselves. Let us hear instead of calling God in vain.

ModAvoidMe:
you seem pained..hope your wife no leave you? Or have you eaten You better put this same energy to make your life better and fruitful

You are hardly the sort one takes advice from. Were you not banned because you were not putting your "same energy to make your life better and fruitful"?

ModAvoidMe:
You better keep your shitty smelling mouth close..this is 2020 you should learn to mind your business

I'm sure you'd be caught up with soon and be banned till 2143!

You were banned for derailing threads just like you are doing again here and on numerous other threads where you've posted what isn't relevant to the topic of the thread!

ModAvoidMe:
Dear Puskin seun, lalasticlala, myndd44, justwise FOD, dominique, naijacutee.
I had an account IAmBloody that I was using but puskin banned me(that was last year)for derailing, so I decided to deactivate the acct then I started viewing nrl as a guest but whenever I read front page news I do have d urge to comment, so I registered this moniker "ModAviodMe" then I made a comment on betting thread but some guys report me to puskin and guess what? He banned me till 2043!!! how on earth am I going to contribute on nairaland without creating a new account? Seun you should teach your mods how to ban people on your thread.

And Puskin please unban me Please

LordReed:
And who said they came into being just like that? Or that they came from nothing?

Again who said anything came from nothing?

DirtyGold did, my Lord.

God came from nothing, just like that.

DirtyGold:
Taking on the evolution theory itself, who has a copy/evidence of the first cell that split to become two and so forth? Just speculative theory I suppose?

One could say it is "speculative theory" indeed, but one who has learnt about it would at least be in a position to engage with the evidence presented for it, which your limited knowledge shows you clearly haven't.

DirtyGold:
It is scientific law that you cannot create something out of nothing, so, where did the first cell come from?

Have you ever wondered what is then meant by "God said and it was"? Seems God isn't limited by what "scientific law" says, but more amusing is how you quote "scientific law" but disregard the theories they evolved from and into.

DirtyGold:
And that is for the human side, how about the animals? they also came from the same one cell?

How about the plants, also from the same cell?
How about earth, other planets? how did they form? or they also split from the same "cell"?

Yes, they did. I would tell you how, but I fear you might not be capable of comprehending Adam and Eve were "one cell".

DirtyGold:
And to the bollocks of natural selection, how come in the sea for instance, there are all sizes, shapes and persona to the creatures in there? I mean, they all live in the same ecosystem and if evolution is true, a lot of these creatures shouldn't exist today - dont you think?
They are also living organisms afterall... or are they immune to evolution?

You need to learn more about that which you speak of. Its the only way to clean your Gold.

I'll let others tell you the folly of bribery and deception, but you start by posting a link here so people can at least see what you are instagramming. Some might 'follow' to help get you to 10k.

Hope you know Tramadol eventually kills, or you know and are tired of living. It's like drinking sniper but the effects take longer, it kills you in the end.

If you like life I suggest you try harder to "overcome your cravings" instead of spending your money killing yourself. And I say this as a fellow craver of something myself. We, will overcome, and will start now by agreeing that,

We are not stupid! We shall no more buy death with our money!

£72 was my spend. I won't respond to "what on". We must confess here if we do spend our money killing ourselves, stating amount spent.

We will live!

ElidaxZiel:
If
" Energy can neither be created nor destroyed "

how does energy got into the system?

You are talking about the billions of years old massive system called the Universe, right?

How do you know "if energy is not created nor destroyed" in that system?

And if its true that "energy is not created nor destroyed" then explain God's creation of an energy with "Let there be an energy called Light".

DirtyGold:
Do you even understand what you just quoted?
Let me help you, you cannot see God but, He is pleased with you being your brothers keeper.
It doesn't mean you should only seek to please man or that God does not have His place in your life though you cannot see Him.

You should speak for yourself, or ask what I see instead of claiming you see what I see. But I guess you did say you had no interest in others opinions, so I doubt you'd be concerned if God is pleased with one or not.

DirtyGold:
Does not change my definition or use of the term here. If anything else, your thread further proves my point - man going through a process of changing form to becoming what he is today. The evolution in that thread talks nothing about the accumulation of knowledge but rather, adaptation by natural selection. Different things!

Seems you are only aware of ape to man evolution, and not of the evolution of ideas and thought or that of the simple Mercedes Benz, or even that of God in the Bible evolving from wrathful vengeful Yahweh to gentle meek forgiving Jesus.

One finds this attitude in those who's minds refuse to evolve, and all evidence does suggest that those fitter than them thrive while they themselves don't.

I know its zoo full of animals, to some, but there must most definitely be some heros in our country Nigeria.

Educate zooists who know less than you know with your heart and might and love and strength and faith.

Name your Nigerian hero and their labour so it shall not be in vain.

The second came handy. You spent days digging bits of it out of yourself. Her favorite though was the one below. Her overuse has made me think she was mentally ill! Thankfully, my dog loved it too and often made it disappear.

Nairalanders what's going on here

Don't know.

Who are they?

Leap second: When is it added, and why do we need an extra second in 2016?

It might feel like there is never enough time, but Earth has gained 27 seconds since the 1970s - an astronomical quirk which is causing a headache for timekeepers.

On New Year's Eve, experts at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) in Teddington, London, will add a leap second to UK time to account for the fact that the Earth is now spinning more slowly.

Immediately before midnight, dials will read 11:59:60 as clocks around the world pause for a second to allow the Earth’s rotation to catch up with atomic time.

Inserting a leap second is necessary because the Earth is wobbling and slowing down
Dr Leon Lobo

The first leap second was added in 1972, so it will be the 27th time it has been added to clocks in history, meaning that everyone has gained 27 seconds over the past 44 years.

Dr Leon Lobo, of NPL's time and frequency group, said: “Most people won’t even notice, although everyone will probably be celebrating New Year a second too early this year.

“People might also notice problems with mobile phone networks as they work on atomic time and, with the increased traffic on New Year’s Eve, there could be potential issues.

“Inserting a leap second is necessary because the Earth is wobbling and slowing down and over time that divergence could cause problems.”

Atomic clocks, on which the modern world now runs, keep time by measuring the movements of electrons in cesium atoms.

Consequently, atomic time is constant, but the Earth’s rotation slows by about two thousandths of a second per day. At the time of the dinosaurs, Earth completed one rotation in about 23 hours.

So leap seconds are, therefore, essential to ensuring atomic time does not move away from time based on the Earth's spin. If it isn't corrected, such a drift would eventually result in clocks showing the middle of the day occurring at night.

Although the drift is small, if not corrected it would eventually result in clocks showing midday before sunrise
Peter Whibberley

While it would take hundreds of years for the difference to become obvious to most people, modern satellite communication and navigation systems rely on time being consistent with the conventional positions of the sun, moon and stars to within a fraction of a second.

If the two standards were allowed to further out of synch, they would differ by about 25 minutes in just 500 years.

Peter Whibberley, senior research scientist with NPL's time and frequency group, who is known as ‘the time lord’, said: "Atomic clocks are more than a million times better at keeping time than the rotation of the Earth, which fluctuates unpredictably.

"Leap seconds are needed to prevent civil time drifting away from Earth time. Although the drift is small - taking around 1,000 years to accumulate a one-hour difference - if not corrected it would eventually result in clocks showing midday before sunrise."

It is the task of scientists and officials at the International Earth Rotation Service, based in Paris, to monitor the planet's rotation and inform countries when leap seconds must be added six months in advance.

Time needs to shift to allow the Earth's rotation to catch up with atomic time

Typically, leap seconds are added every two or three years, although the last one was inserted just 18 months ago in June 2015. Some years, the Earth runs bang on time and no adjustment is needed. It is also possible for a second to be removed from the UTC (Universal Co-ordinated Time) timescale, although this has never happened.

BT's speaking clock will add a second's pause before its third pip and Radio 4 will also add an extra pip to its 1am bulletin.

But there can be consequences of tinkering with time. When a leap second was added in 2012, Mozilla, Reddit, Foursquare, Yelp, LinkedIn and StumbleUpon all reported crashes and there were problems with the Linux operating system and programmes written in Java.

Because leap seconds are only introduced sporadically, it is difficult to implement them in computers and mistakes can cause systems to fail temporarily.

Many computing systems use the Network Time Protocol, or NTP, to keep themselves in sync with the world’s atomic clocks. But most are not programmed to deal with an unexpected extra second.

Google has even developed a special technique to deal with what it refers to as a "leap smear" and has been gradually adding milliseconds to its system clocks prior to the official arrival of the leap second.

The US wants to get rid of leap seconds, claiming they are too disruptive to precision systems used for navigation and communication. But Britain opposes the change, saying that it would forever break the link between our concept of time and the rising and setting of the sun.

Experts fear that, once this link is broken, it could never be restored because, although the Earth's timekeeping systems are built to accommodate the occasional leap second, adding a leap minute or hour to global time would be virtually impossible.

The World Radiocommunication Conference was due to decide on the fate of the leap second at last year’s meeting, but has deferred the decision until 2023.

SLAP44:
Also research how many wives and children he has, and other investment.

Let me know what you come up with.

SLAP44:
only that he was stopped by Dimka.

You seemed smarter. I apologise.

SLAP44:
How much was his salary then for him to leave 7000 in his account?

Let's research instead of lazily making claims we have no evidence for.

How much was General Murtala's salary when he was killed please, anyone?

The Nigerian Traders are crying for President Buhari of Ghana to help them open their shops instead of considering taking their shops elsewhere?

SLAP44:
That's just because he didn't have enough time to loot.

Guess you can't tell by their fruits so you'd rather make up your own reality.

So, all that time going through the ranks of the Nigeria Army was not enough to amass more than ₦7000?

That enemies of Nigeria killed this man goes to show the depths they'd go to to maintain their benefiting and how much more we must fight to change the status quo so the benefits and opportunities are everyone's.

To those who understand the Holy scripture more than I do, please I need help.

Why would a man who has totally given himself to God suffer depression due to little family needs and God wouldn't help?

A "man who has totally given himself to God suffer depression due to little family needs and God wouldn't help", because the man has totally given himself to God in his own earthly way and has not given himself to God according to God.

God said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."

It is when the man does these things that God blesses the man.

Smart farmers! Why grow cheap maize when you can grow highly demanded annoying weeds!

I swear to God I shall no pay to deweed my farm. I'm just selling the darn stuff to the "boys" and Fela, because "na the dividend of having a lifeless dullard as President"!
