CBN or CBD? Does cannabidiene have an effect other than giving you a headache? Cannabidiol is what my medical provider provides with THC.

Before I started on MMJ I slept in 2 hour shifts, every 12 hours or so, due to neuropathic pain. Now I sleep for 8 hours - once I get to sleep. It seems that daily use does make it a bit harder to fall asleep (racing mind?) but at least I

Pretty sure there's a bike rack in every town with a school. Your 'Almost*' has towns like Lismore (2 public high schools), Casino (1) and Murwillumbah (2 schools and bike rack on main street) all without racks

I used to get monthly nerve block injections into my neck, which gave 3 days that I didn't have nerve pain. This was enough to gain some strength.

I was once told "You're in the human wastebasket now" as I was put in a "bucket" of neuropathy. After 10 years this was refined to "Right Brachial Plexopathy with neuropathia, exhibiting as atypical Complex Re

As I understand it, the formant is the difference between the interval from the harmonic series, and the interval using whatever temperment you're in. Piano-notes are in equal temperment. String players, and some wind instruments all

Similarly, I'd been on 6 different Tricyclics, SSRI and SNRI until I met my current meds. These ones (venlafaxine) work for me.

As a resident of Queensland, Australia, why do people _choose_ to live in lands of ice and snow? So much of the world seems quite horrid to my sub-tropical habituated self.

As a user of this sort of technology, I'm not so sure that the OSS model is best. My ICD uses proper (certified) implementations of crypto to minimise biohacking. How is the OSS supply chain more secure than propriety, given the regu

The best comment I ever saw was in a body-corporate-management suite I maintained for a short while. The comment was at the beginning of a 200 000 line pascal program. It was the only comment in the file. It advised anyone being approached

I remember the front page of The Sun showing a VW sailing down Swanston St in the Melbourne CBD in 1972 during a flash flood. I was 10yo and thought it was brilliant.

School is a very strange place for the exceptionally gifted student, even moreso if neurodiverse. The student can get 100% on tests and essays with ease, yet cannot understand basic human interactions. From the perspective of an autistic,

I've had quite a lot of medical treatments, due to terrible luck and universal health care. In my experience (3 continents, 6 countries) medical training does not prepare students for people. For people with communication issues, senso

Pretty sure the Tolkien Estate is managed by Saul Zaentz, and he was a fool to try to sue him. He has a _very_ long record of defending the IP very very strenuously.

I think Edoras/Rohan might be a reference to Breton Celtic horse culture. The Lords of Brittany, the House of Rohan, traced their ancestry to Conan Meriadoc. In Lotr, Meriadoc Brandybuck is the halfling who swears allegiance to King T

Pedantic pedantic: The Druedain are the Pukel Men, the Wild Men, or Woses. They are found in the White Mountains in LOTR, and there were probably remnants in Eryn Vorn. They are also mentioned in The Silmarillion. They are very distantly

Hmmm... only read the abstract, but the idea that indigenous australians _in general_ were starving pre-colonisation is demonstrably false, just consider the eel farms and factories in Victoria

CPY people in central Australia practice subincision as a manhood ritual. In order to concieve they tie the penis together with their wives' hair. They only did/do this in times of plenty though. Otherwise the subincision means

Perhaps the title should mention this is primarily about Rust, and not thread-per-core in general, which would be interesting.

No mention of the DecSystem-10 or 20. I loved TOPS-20. How those machines ran so well with so many users and so little ram is a lesson in efficiency.

I recall seeing that there was a 14 000 year old dear scapula found in China that had the "simple proof" diagram engraved on it. The article seems to say that Pythagoras' Theorem was discovered by the Mesopotamians, but negl

This makes a lot of sense to me. I have a disorder of the sympathetic nervous system (CRPS) and a rare cardiac condition (Brugada Syndrome). The inter-relationships between exercise, cardiac arrythmias and nerve pain flares is very strong
