ExiledInIllinois Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 On the drug thing... Just took our annual substance abuse training at work. Carfentanil (synth opiad family) is 10,000 times stronger than morphine. I missed that on test... I didn't think it was that much stronger!

PolishDave Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 TIL as of 2011, there are more barrels of bourbon aging in the state of Kentucky (4.7 million) than there are people who live there (4.3 million). CBF Interesting. No wonder so many people are moving south. Did you know that there are more cows in Wyoming County than there are people? There is something like 53,000 cows and around 41,000 people - and that's not counting the people who should be counted as cows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, he can put on more muscle mass for his weight class, since he's less one leg's weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 TIL IBM Had To Delete 'Urban Dictionary' Data from The Watson Super Computer System Because The Machine Started Cursing. CBF Watson couldn't distinguish between polite language and profanity -- which the Urban Dictionary is full of. Watson picked up some bad habits from reading Wikipedia as well. In tests it even used the word "bull ****" in an answer to a researcher's query. I'm surprised they deleted it. That's as close to passing a Turing Test as I've ever heard.
