I appreciate the exploration Lenovo is making by seeking out non-traditional materials for their products. I do have a general question about the description, “plant-based.” Am I mistaken or does the English language use the conjoint “-base

Personally I don’t view it as “if you can’t beat them, join them,” though I understand the sentiment. I prefer to think of it as “how can I use this tech to advance my craft and expand my options?”

I have two hypotheses that came to mind when I read your question: 1. It’s a hard problem to quantify effects on cognitive functioning provided by nootropic supplements. We still have so much to learn about brain function; 2. Nootropics off

That was from a previously classified martial edition of P&P written for the CIA. The quote is incorrect due to a typo. She went to the kitchen to locate her granola b e ar to take on the reconnaissance trip to St. Petersburg.

Which makes this case even more interesting to me. Some percentage of those photos’ copywrites’ are owned by corporations rather than the pictured individuals. If it was simply a large group of selfies, I don’t expect much legal challenge f

Does it downplay the difficulty? As an artist, I appreciate the statement because it reminds me to appropriately scope what tiers of “success” can mean. I have zero illusions about the ease of convincing 1000 people to trade their money for

Giving you the benefit of the doubt…how does your comment relate to the linked essay?

If it means those of us who compete daily with our brains have an opportunity for an advantage—or at least parity—I’m all for it. I don’t expect it will happen within my lifetime but it would be nice for those who follow.

Am I correctly summarizing this statement, for my own understanding? “All values in the cosmos are integers. Decimals exist to help humans make comparisons between objects.”

I understood the comment to mean, “when given the choice between minimally processed whole foods and highly processed packaged foods, pick the former as often as possible,” not “eat frequently.”

“Syndrome” would be correct if the underlying reason for Leonardo’s planning and follow-through challenges were due to disordered Executive functions and cognitive controls.

I don’t speak for you, nor do I present as such. I speak for the hundreds of people I personally know who my statement describes. Those are the many. I’m sure there are others out there I’m not aware of, but I can’t speak for them.

Attempting to regulate alcohol, as you note, is a fool’s errand. Regulation isn’t the answer. It will take centuries of messaging and a shift in consumption patterns before it’s not profitable to commercially produce. Possibly.

Alcohol as a “cultural lubricant” has been with us for as long as humans have had oral histories passed down. The alcoholic beverage lobbies around the world are politically powerful and have very entrenched interests within countries. The

Congratulations. You’ve found your ideal dosage for your unique situation. For many of us, one drink leads to more drinks at which point the physiological and psychological changes covered in the linked article become amplified.

Cynically, I’m almost to the point where I could consider this outcome an acceptable risk if the benefits are large. The status quo today is an onslaught of (seemingly) random genomic and environmental impacts causing huge problems in hum
