  1. There’s definitely some mental aspect to this too.

    Everyone I know that is taking it currently has some major mood swings and having erratic behavior. It’s to the point where some people we keep at an arms length away because the behavior is so unpredictable and not worth the headaches.

    Were they already unpleasant to be around at times beforehand? I have a theory that it’s a lot like the supposed “roid rage” that some people believe in (much like the Easter bunny, it’s not real). They don’t make you something you’re not, but they can absolute amplify pre-existing behaviors/characteristics.
  2. From a pragmatic perspective, we'd better hope that Ukraine can hold out for the very issue mentioned above. At this point, both Ukraine and Russia likely have the largest arsenals and more experience using UAVs in modern warfare than any other nation on Earth. At a minimum, we want Ukraine to remain viable so they can share their knowledge of drone warfare with us because, as dumb as the Russians are, they'll know how to use them better than our NATO allies and us. 

    Given the glaring failures of our governmental agencies at various points in the last three decades I’m not sure if you should take solace or sorrow in this, but our government is extremely aware and extremely capable of defense against UAV’s as well as using them in an offensive posture.

  3. No, thank you. I'm not sure whether new construction in NYC has all those earthquake protections, but I'm pretty dang sure most of the older skyscrapers don't. And I certainly wouldn't want to be in one of those already wobbly super-skinnies.

    Almost every building under construction or being renovated that we walked by had at least a handful of workers taking a smoke break on the sidewalk, and I’m not talking about cigarettes. Couple that with the sheer size of NYC and the general incompetence of normal size city code inspection offices and I have little faith in these buildings new and old.
