I've just picked a random year: 2060. That's 42 years from now. So rather like a person from 1976 imagining the world today.
In terms of culture, economics and politics, how do you imagine the world will look by then? What will be the main issues facing society?
For the average person in a developed country, will things be overall better or worse than now?

This is a fun thread. I'm reminding myself to post here.
As We Rise
Matthew 24:12, NIV
Culture? Society? In 2060?
Don't make me laugh.
The reality? There are millions of normal people who are starting to LIKE the idea of fascism BECAUSE there are literal bolsheviks flooding the streets and attacking people. I swear to God, when the Left actually gets the storm they've been preaching about, you won't even see it on the news. The population will just shrink from 330 million to 230 million overnight and nobody will ever speak of it again.

molecular manufacturing restructures economy, immunotherapy is standardized cancer becomes negligent along with heart disease. Computers in windows and everyones clothes, glasses, and bodies. Cost of living becomes practically zero, third world countries get uplifted to first world states due to this. Robotics replaces most physical jobs and law enforcements. Life extension increases life expectancy to 100, medical trials still take 20-30+years to get to humans.

Robots and disembodied AI personal assistants that talk to you through your personal devices (worn and perhaps implanted in your body) will be omnipresent. They will be in your home and in public spaces, and will follow you wherever you go. If we could see it today, we'd be shocked at how much work and thinking had been "offloaded" to machines.
Additionally, machines will prove themselves as creative and artistic as the best humans by 2060. We'll make the realization that "creative jobs" can't serve as humanity's enduring niche. Even they can be automated, and most humans aren't that creative, anyway.
Technological unemployment will definitely be a major problem. A "main issue" facing society will be the growing threat of humans becoming obsolete. The writing will be on the wall.
The global economy will be much larger than it is today. There will not have been an "economic collapse."
The Cold War-era stalwart weapons like the F-16, MiG-29, M1 tanks, etc. that live on thanks to upgrades will have all been finally retired from service by 2060, except perhaps among third-rate militaries. F-35s will be considered old junk.
China will have closed most of the various "gaps" with the West. Chinese people below 40 will only ever have known their country to be strong and modern.
In developed countries, I think life in 2060 will, overall, be better than life today. Overcrowding will hurt quality of life, though.
Space tourism will be routine, there will be a small, permanent human presence on the Moon, and possibly Mars. A mission to Mars will probably have happened by 2060, and the habitat will be there as a permanent structure. I'm just unsure if humans will be living there year round.

Both the moon and Mars will have been colonized, with the former being an actual, bustling colony that dots all across its surface whereas Mars will have a single station or a few with several astronauts doing mostly scientific observations and research. It'll be a result of a joint USA-EU effort, with SpaceX and Blue Origin's heavy lifting assistance. The SLS will have long ago been scrubbed after one or two launches, costing at least $1 billion each.
Venus will have a manned mission orbiting around it doing scientific observations and research as well. I'll go far to say the Chinese or Indians may be the first ones to do it, after their own versions of SpaceX/Blue Origin have developed into capable companies.
Multi-national collaborative plans for a manned mission to the Jovian moons are being implemented, although Elon Musk's son, now SpaceX's CEO, is claiming SpaceX will be the first to send humans there.
Asteroid mining will have become a full-fledged industry, bringing in enormous profits for the companies involved. The resulting mined resources will have been consumed, in ever greater quantities, for the manned missions and establishing colonies around the nearby planets and their moons.
Autonomous rovers will be sent out to the moons further away than ever before. They will be intelligent enough to do all the scientific exploration without nary an input, sending back organized data to Earth.
What are you without the sum of your parts?

You ever read about this one guy in some book called The Bible? Well that's pretty much what we'll all be like if we so choose.
Just like if you showed a lighter to a caveman or a rocketship to a babylonian. Our understanding for such things at such a time will be meager. Far too meager.

The growth of computation is doubly exponential growth.
Mankind will have colonized the whole solar system. Life expectancy is indefinite due to a copy of your mind being saved on a cloud. Superintelligent AI will have gotten rid of the need for humans to work and many humans are now cyborgs. the idea of working to live is barbaric in these times and a antiquated practice. National boundaries still exist but they are blurred. People commute between continents daily using a hyperloop transportation network or suborbital flights if they need too. People identify with their culture like otherkin, furry, trap, lesbian, weeboo, smurf etc over what we identify ourselves with today (race, culture, religion, location).

I have a pretty Utopian view of 2060.
- All diseases either curable or manageable
- All mental illnesses either permanently curable, or treatable (on a continual basis) to the point where the symptoms are completely or almost completely eliminated. This renders humanity's overall mental health of 2060 as being much better than the present day's regardless of any other external circumstances.
- The aging process can be halted, though not necessarily reversed
- Self driving cars have become ubiquitous across most of the world, though manual cars are still allowed because a) AI is sophisticated enough to account for any mistakes that humans make on the road and b) people who want to drive manually are a small minority totaling under 1 percent anyway
- Regardless of whether AI manages to reach human-level intelligence in every possible way, AI has still wiped out most jobs across the board
- Permanent settlements on Mars have been set up for some time now. Horror stories abound about how the quality of life on Mars is so much worse than what we're accustomed to on Earth, due to lesser technology or despots having an easier time controlling a smaller population.
- Some countries are still much better or worse off than others, but today's third world countries enjoy a better standard of living in 2060 than first world countries do in 2018
To give a very vague outline of what I think the preceding decades will be like:
2050s - The world's improved to the point where the general mood around the world is that we're building towards a Utopian society (not that things will literally be perfect, but)
2040s - Basic structure of society has been reinvented in a lot of ways, many limitations of the 2010s are either gone or greatly loosened, overall mood is very positive even though far more problems exist than during the 50s or 60s
2030s - Transitional decade. Technology speeds up dramatically compared to the previous decade. The society of 2030 is much more recognizable to someone from 2018 than the society of 2039. The mood is mixed, with certain aspects of society still in shambles or growing worse, but others either improving or beginning to show a light at the end of the tunnel. Technology can't solve everything yet, but most people are beginning to get the impression that all the problems of daily life will eventually be solved. 3rd world countries are in significantly better shape by the decade's end thanks to the proliferation of Satellite internet during the 20s - much worse off than 1st world countries, but global hunger has been minimized and the people of these countries are generally happy. All mood disorders and trauma disorders can be cured or treated, but not necessarily things like schizophrenia or learning disorders. Cancer doesn't become curable this decade, but becomes a chronic illness by the decade's end.
2020s - Technology causes a great number of changes, to the point where even the average person stands up and takes notice (bringing an end to "where is my jetpack/where are my flying cars"-style sentiments); the 20s are recognized as being one of the most technologically revolutionary decades in human history up to this point. Chaotic decade where the general mood is of negativity and fear. Third world countries make significant progress, but the dichotomy of "first worlders living good lives and third worlders living shitty ones" remains. Close to 100 percent of the world has internet by the decade's end. The overall structure of society is shaken up in many ways, but remains intact. Moderately important strides in all fields that are being discussed here in 2018, though some fields are still immature and not particularly useful.

* Most languages dead [DISAGREE. INSTANT TRANSLATORS WOULD ACTUALLY DIMINISH THE NEED FOR PEOPLE TO SPEAK ANYTHING BUT THEIR NATIVE TONGUES. MACHINES WILL HAVE PRESERVED ALL HUMAN LANGUAGES, ANYHOW, SO WE COULD ALL DIE OUT, AND DETAILED RECORDS OF AFRIKAANS WOULD STILL EXIST.]

* Quadrillionaires in the asteroid mining business [GIVEN HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO FIND VALUABLE ASTEROIDS, SEND SPACECRAFT TO THEM, ALTER THEIR TRAJECTORIES TO INTERSECT EARTH, AND TO ACTUALLY GET THEM HERE, I THINK 2060 IS TOO EARLY FOR ANYONE TO BE MAKING A FORTUNE OFF OF ASTEROID MINING.]

I'm warring with myself between optimistic and more realist views for the time between now and 2060. The thing I'm acutely aware of right now is that food, clothing, transportation, education, etc in the last 40 years isn't staggeringly different than it was then. and not much of that is mind bogglingly different than it was 20 years before that.
They thought the youth of the day were uncouth, rude and adverse to work; that politicians were more corrupt and the society and nation was on the verge of collapse because of both of these aspects.
But by the same token the access to information, computers, communication, etc are vastly different, and they are enabling some very amazing things to be realised in the world.
40 years seems a long time but culture and society move glacially in some ways. Which of those traits will dominate the lives of humans in 2060 I'm not sure.
Live content within small means. Seek elegance rather than luxury, Grace over fashion and wealth over riches.
Listen to clouds and mountains, children and sages. Act bravely, think boldly.
Await occasions, never make haste. Find wonder and awe, by experiencing the everyday.

Do you remember film, where is ppl eat brain boost pills, that improve almost every skills. I think in future, this pills:https://nootropicboost.com. Will be in every house and every one will use it!
Things will be much better for an average person economically in a developed society by 2060. However, there is probably going to be much more political, ethnic, and religious polarization than there currently is--especially, but not only, in Europe. Western Europe is also going to have a growing problem with terrorism and extremism due to its growing Muslim population.
I do think that more countries would have legalized same-sex marriage by 2060, though the Muslim world will still be extremely behind--as expected.

We recently got together with Jenny's little brother Jon and his girlfriend Ashley.
Jon let us in on a little secret that he wanted to propose to Ashley during our session. They've been dating for a while now and it has been so fun watching them grow together.
We started off the session with Ashley none the wiser to Jon's big secret and did some family shots with them and their fur babies.
Then we headed to the park and did a few cute couple shots before heading to the spot for the big moment.
We stayed back to give them their privacy during this intimate moment, but it sure was beautiful to watch.
We're so happy for these two and can't wait to see what the future has in store for them!
Here are some of our favorite shots from the rest of the session.

Review: Paco V Put to Sleep
The world outside is burning and yet the characters in Paco V Put to Sleep, written by Martin Dockery, can't seem to do anything about it, let alone save themselves. Directed by Dave Dawson, this show is a fine offering from Blacksheep theatre with a strong script and a capable ensemble. Though it could perhaps be argued that this production could have pushed it further artistically, I appreciated the restraint shown by the director in order to allow the genius of the text to really shine through.
The play itself focuses on what seems to be a typical day in the lives of four characters: Dick D (Mike Kosowan), Paco V (Will Lafrance), Ricky T (Tim Oberholzer), and Jane (Marissa Caldwell). Right away we are shown how passive these characters are as we listen to them try and figure out whose responsibility it is to get food, or pay the television bill, or (most importantly) fix the television remote. It isn't until Dick's parents arrive that things start happening out of the ordinary. When Paco falls asleep inexplicably and is unable to be awoken by the others we begin to fully realize how counterproductive these characters actually are. A wonderfully absurd work, Dockery explores just how little people can do in a given situation.
The stage design is kept simple and minimal with only the most necessary objects on stage: a coat hanger, a couch, a television set, a chair and a gobo of a window. With the cable in the house having been disconnected, the window is our only link to the outside world. Though the exterior changes rapidly, the events taking place outside never seem to affect the world of the interior. If anything, these potentially disastrous events as narrated by the characters themselves serve to highlight their sheer incompetent nature.
The cast does an excellent job with this script. Kosowan as Dick D has great demeanor on stage and his reactions are always on par. Oberholzer as Ricky T brings some nice moments to the piece during his monologues about his inner struggle trying to decide whether or not to quit "scoopin'." Jane, played by Caldwell, is perhaps the most reasonable character of the group though more often than not she is ignored by the other characters. Caldwell delivers her lines in a lazy air with a touch of impatience which serves to give her dialogue a decidedly passive undertone. Celine Filion and Jeff Lefebvre as Dick's parents bring a hilariously adorable ignorance to the show and Lafrance as Paco V certainly deserves to be commended for maintaining presence while "sleeping" through the majority of the show.
Overall, I thought Blacksheep Theatre does a commendable job with this original script. While perhaps the tensions and the stakes could have been pushed a little bit further, I enjoyed watching these characters accomplish absolutely nothing despite the fact that their world is literally burning around them. This script takes you on a journey into the land of the mundanely absurd though it isn't by any means a bore.

Why September 10th Matters In Rock History
posted by Dave Basner - Sep 10, 2019
It's September 10th and here are some reasons why this day matters in rock history:
In 1974, after struggles with drug abuse and interpersonal conflicts, the New York Dolls broke up.
In 1975, Kiss released their first live record, Alive. The double-LP set also became their first top 10 album.
In 1988, Guns N' Roses had the number one song in the country with "Sweet Child O' Mine."
In 1998, Green Day won the Moon Man for Best Alternative Video at the MTV Video Music Awards for "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)."
In 1991, Nirvana released their hit song "Smells Like Teen Spirit."
And in 2005, Motley Crue, U2, Nine Inch Nails, Green Day, Good Charlotte and others perform at MTV's ReAct Now: Music & Relief special to benefit the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
And that's what happened today in rock history.

One of the small guide books of Sudbury which came into the Sudbury Ephemera Archive in the very first months of its existence has some interesting adverts of businesses in the town during the first half of the twentieth century but post World War 1.
These adverts show how much the people of Sudbury could purchase locally and not have to rely on travelling to larger towns like Bury St Edmunds, Ipswich or Colchester. Most people would have had to rely on public transport at this time; travel would have been slower than it is today. There would have been no question of two or more cars owned by one family.
The adverts often show an address for the shop or business. The adverts are plain but get the message across clearly about what is sold at these establishments.
Adverts like these also give the impression of what goods are currently in demand in local society and as fashion and technology change so do the commercial enterprises of the town.

Tropical Storm Vicky Discussion Number 9
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL212020
500 AM AST Wed Sep 16 2020
Vicky remains a strongly sheared and poorly organized tropical
storm. The low-level center is displaced to the west-southwest of
the main area of deep convection due to strong westerly vertical
wind shear. The initial intensity is held at 45 kt based on the
earlier ASCAT data, which is well above the Dvorak estimates.
Vicky is expected to remain in hostile wind shear conditions while
traversing 26 C waters, so it seems likely that weakening should
occur. The NHC intensity forecast follows the trend of the model
guidance and shows gradual weakening during the next few days.
Vicky is expected to become a remnant low in a couple of days, but
it is always tricky to figure out when these systems will lose all
of its convection since it is forecast to stay over relatively warm
The storm continues to more west-northwestward, a little to the
left of the previous track at 285/9. Vicky should gradually turn
westward later today and west-southwestward in a couple of days
when it becomes a shallow cyclone and moves in the low-level flow.
The new track forecast is just a little south of the previous one to
be closer to the latest consensus aids.

Here is the file I am using to run any shell command: test.py
import subprocess

proc = subprocess.Popen("python getting_input.py", stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
for char in iter(lambda: proc.stdout.read(1).decode('utf-8'), ''):
    print(char)  # This actually works, printing every character on a new line

But when the only thing I change is add end="" to my print statement absolutely nothing gets printed.
import subprocess

proc = subprocess.Popen("python getting_input.py", stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
for char in iter(lambda: proc.stdout.read(1).decode('utf-8'), ''):
    print(char, end="")  # This doesn't work, nothing at all gets printed... ????

I am assuming this is some sort of buffering issue, but even when I run it with python -u test.py and inside it use python -u getting_input.py I still see no output. Any ideas?

A: Use:
print(char, end="", flush=True)

$3,000 reward offered for information about fatal drive-by shooting in Lauderhill
Donard Louis shot outside Studio 5 Ten
LAUDERHILL, Fla. – Broward Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to $3,000 for information that leads to the arrest of the person responsible for a fatal drive-by shooting in Lauderhill.
Police said the shooting happened between 3:20 a.m. and 3:45 a.m. Monday outside a strip mall in the 4500 block of North University Drive.
Donard Louis was celebrating a friend's 21st birthday at Studio 5 Ten when an argument started and continued outside, police said.
Authorities said he was not on the guest list, but had been invited by friends and was permitted to be at the venue.
Police said he was shot by someone in a moving vehicle
"I didn't see the guy on the ground," witness David Meyers said. "I didn't know where he was. I saw a woman crouched down walking. She said they shot him in the head and I saw a couple of other people calling the cops or trying to figure out what was going on."
Louis was taken to Broward Health Medical Center, where he died.
Anyone with information about the gunman is asked to call Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS.

Q: Firmware Update and management in oneM2M OneM2M divides device management into two different methods.
1- Device management over the service layer
2- Device management using external management technologies
I want to understand how to do a firmware update by using each of the methods. However I only find very basic examples like getting a memory resource object as an example for device management. But what is a use case for using <mgmtCmd> and <execInstance>. Is there any concrete example which you can share?
I understand that a Node is the actual hardware device and Management Objects are resources that represens the management functions and entities. But I dont understand the correlation between <mgmtCmd> and <mgmtObj>'s.
Lets assume I have a device (AE & Node). It has a firmware information that I keep as a <mgmtObj> on the Node itself. It has also <mgmtCmd> that updates the firmware. (I assume that MgmtCmd is created by the AE. I am also not sure who should create the <mgmtCmd>? The related AE I guess.)
How should I run the <mgmtCmd> by choosing each methods that I describe above? Should I use an external management service like TR-069 or OMA-DM or LWM2M DM ? Or is the device management over the oneM2M service layer enough to do that ?
What OneM2M says that an <execInstance> resource is an instance of <mgmtCmd>. If I update <gmtCmd>'s execEnable attribute then related to that <mgmtCmd> should create an <execInstance> as a child resource. Then operation should be followed on that <execInstance. I have also some confusion for that part. What is the meaning of updating <mgmtCmd>'s <execInstance> attribute ? How I am supposed to do that ? If I update it once, how do I update same attribute with the same value  if I run same command multiple times.
As you see, I am really confused a lot. Can you explain briefly and give an obvious example how to do device management (ex. Firmware Update) on OneM2M ?

A: I agree, the management abstraction part of oneM2M can be hard to understand. I guess the most important points can be seen in TS-0001's figure "6.2.4.1.1-1: Device Management Architecture" and the accompanying text in that chapter:

*

*The device to be managed is a node (either an ASN, ADN, or MN).

*The device management functionality is implemented in the CSE's.

*The "business" part of device management (e.g. what devices should get an update) is an AE that triggers, for example, an update. This AE may also has the role of a Device Management System and therefore may also, during the onboarding phase of a device, create all the necessary <node>, <mgmtObj> specialisations etc. resources for that device.

*The Device Management functionality can be implemented by either oneM2M means, or utilise an underlying management protocol, such as TR-0069, OMA DM, etc. The bindings and mappings to those protocols are defined in separate specifications (e.g. TS-0005 or TS-0006).

*It is also possible to manage non-oneM2M devices, but for this a management proxy is needed on the connecting node that is acting as a management proxy to perform the (local) management as well as mapping those devices to oneM2M <node>'s.

For the second part (how does an AE execute a management command): as stated before, the <node> resource and all available management capabilities (as <mgmtObj> specialisations) are created during the on-boarding phase of the device discovery phase by the managing AE.
To trigger a management command (e.g. initiating a firmware update) the following applies:

*

*The AE UPDATES the according <mgmtCmd>, but only the execEnable attribute.

*The CSE then internally CREATES a new <execInstance> resource for that <mgmtCmd> and returns it instead(!) of the updated <mgmtCmd>. In reality, the execEnable attribute is not really changed in the resource, it only triggers the creation of the <execInstance>.

*The returned <execInstance> contains all necessary information about the management resource and acts as a "proxy" for the actual management by the AE.

Why is this so complicated? Remote management is not an immediate process. The device might be busy or even switched off,  the operation might take some time etc. In order to move the (perhaps time and resource consuming) responsibility and work from the CSE to the AE, the <execInstance> resource helps to decouple this process from the actual management part of the CSE. One can see a lot of procedural status information, capabilities and constraints in the <execInstance> resource. Another advantage is that multiple AE's can access the same <mgmtCmd> in a managed and controlled way.
I hope this answers your questions.


(Parachromis dovii) Expert Aggressive 28" 180 gallons 74-84° F, pH 6.8-7.8, KH 2-10 Carnivore Central America, Hondorus, Costa Rica, Nicaragua Cichlidae Wolf Cichlids Cichlid-New-World The Wolf Cichlid (Parachromis dovii) is both an attractive and menacing Cichlid specimen. Dovii Cichlids are borderline hyper-aggressive in temperament and have the size and attitude to back up their aggression. Males of the species can grow upwards of 28 inches in length, with females attaining about 16 inches in length. This large size coupled with their ultra aggressive temperament make the Wolf Cichlid one of if not the most aggressive Cichlid available within the hobby. Dovii Cichlids are likely to dominate any tank they are housed in and there will be a select few fish that will be able to handle living in the same aquarium as a Wolf Cichlid. Hobbyists should definitely not keep Wolf Cichlids with other conspecifics like Jaguar Cichlids as they are completely intolerant of other Parachromis species. Wolf Cichlids reach impressive sizes and exhibit interesting colors and pattern. However, they also bring a larger than life attitude and personality as well, thus will most likely need to be housed in their own aquarium or with other much larger aggressive fish species. The primary aquarium criteria for the Wolf Cichlid is a very large tank. While juveniles can be raised up in smaller aquariums, adults will need at least a 180 gallon aquarium to live comfortably and thrive. A mated pair or extremely large specimen will most likely need a tank somewhere between 220 and 360 gallons in size to be comfortable. Aquarium decor should be limited to rocks, driftwood, wood root and possibly an extremely hardy potted plant. Wolf Cichlids are large powerful fish that will rearrange the aquarium decor to suit their taste. They are also avid excavators that will spend plenty of time digging in the substrate. Any fish small enough to fit in the Wolf Cichlids mouth will be considered food and any similarly sized Cichlid or conspecific will be considered to be trespassing on their territory. They can coexist with some other large aggressive fish species like Arapaima, Arowana, large catfish, Pacu or other similar fish species. The Wolf Cichlid is a carnivorous species that feeds on a wide range of meaty foods. Their diet in the wild consists of smaller fish, earthworms, insects, small invertebrates and crustaceans. They will readily accept a wide variety of commercial foods designed for large freshwater carnivores. Feed a large staple pellet or stick food as their main diet, while supplementing with crickets, worms, prawns or other similar items in order to vary their diet from time to time. Begin by feeding them once or twice a day an amount of food that they will eagerly consume within a minute or two. Monitor their overall growth rate and the girth of the fish to adjust feeding frequency and amounts accordingly. Breeding Wolf Cichlids is not difficult at all once you have a male and female that have paired off. It can sometimes be difficult to get a single male and female to pair off in the first place. Most breeders keep a single male with a small group of females and wait for the male to choose a mate and then remove the remaining females. A breeding pair of Wolf Cichlids will need a dedicated aquarium with plenty of hard flat surfaces like flat rocks, flower pots or large plastic tubes. This will provide them a location to lay their eggs, which can number in the thousands. Flower pots or large plastic pipes are also useful locations the female can use to hide from the male when needed. Eggs will hatch in about 3 days after they are laid and new born will feed on organic matter that will be present on the substrate in an established aquarium. Within a week the fry can begin feeding on baby brine shrimp, crushed flake foods or other similar items. As the fry grow into small fish either they will need to be removed from the breeding tank into another aquarium, or the male / female pair should be located. Hobbyists should use plenty of caution when dealing with an adult male Dovii protecting their young as they will become extremely aggressive and can inflict real damage with their sharp teeth and strong bite.

Rapid increase of synthetic opioids involved in drug overdose deaths
Bottom Line: Synthetic opioids (such as illicit fentanyl) overtook prescription opioids in 2016 as the most common drug class involved in overdose deaths in the United States.
Why The Research Is Interesting: Drug overdose deaths are at unprecedented levels in the United States. Prescription opioids have been the most common drug involved in overdose deaths, but heroin and synthetic opioids are increasingly involved in overdoses.
What and When: Mortality data based on death certificates for 2010-2016
Study Measures: Number of synthetic opioid-involved overdose deaths by year for 2010 through 2016; overdose deaths involving psychotherapeutic and illicit drugs in which synthetic opioids were involved in the death; and synthetic opioid overdose deaths in 2016 also involving drugs or alcohol
How (Study Design): This was a data analysis.
Authors: Christopher M. Jones, Pharm.D., M.P.H., Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Rockville, Maryland, and coauthors
Among the 42,249 opioid-related overdose deaths in 2016, 19,413 involved synthetic opioids, 17,087 involved prescription opioids, and 15,469 involved heroin
Synthetic opioids were involved in 45.9% of opioid-related deaths in 2016 compared with 14.3% in 2010
79.7% of synthetic opioid-related overdose deaths in 2016 involved another drug or alcohol
Study Limitations: An estimated 15 percent to 25 percent of death certificates didn't specify the type of drug involved in the overdose so the numbers reported are likely underestimates.
Study Conclusions: A lack of awareness about the potency of synthetic opioids, their availability and the increasing adulteration of the illicit drug supply poses substantial risks to individual and public health.
