Not always true. I'm prescribed medical CBD, THC and flowers, and pure indica strains help with sleep. Sativa is as you say, it makes sleep worse. Without "Spectrum Red #1" I sleep in 2 hour shifts. I consume about 0.3 gm

Your 20 pot heads are most dangerous to sweets and junk food. The alcoholics drive, get angry and start fights. I'd much rather be in a room with 20 stoners than 5 drunks.

Remember that word "some" - it's really important. I knew someone who was floridly psychotic and would stab strangers when he smoked weed, until he got an Involuntary Treatment Order and monthly depot injections. He'

I have a Roland/Boss GT-100 guitar processor (a big pedal board), which features 8 programmable/assignable open-ended rotary knobs (open ended as they can just be kept rotating without hitting some kind of stop). It would be grea

Very little in the Sydney Morning Herald is true or factual. It's a player in politics of lies.

For those interested, there are several videos of Dr Irving Finkel from the British Museum talking about the Library of Asshurbanipal on Youtube. Dr Finkel is a brilliant speaker and fluent in Sumerian, Akkadian and Assyrian writing systems

The Northern Rivers area (where Lismore is) has a lot of gullys and valleys, whereas the towns there tend to occupy flatter areas. Winter in the gullys gets bloody cold. The official temperature in Lismore is measured at the Post Office.

Is "circular pyramid" intuitive, or is it calculus based? It works for me.

Hmm.. When working with a I vi IV V in G, it tells me that a substitution of Bm7 for Em produces a ii-V-I in C. It does nothing of the sort! Now a Bm7-5 -> F -> Am is a 2-5 in C, but that's not what it's working with.

My Boss back in the 80's bought one and I had the job of restoring it. The worst was jam on the drives and heads (a capstan drive and playback head for each key). The magazine where the tapes hang was full of ferrite dust. We ended

Prisons in Brisbane, Australia had a library purge about 15 years back. They wanted to remove anything that might excite a rapist or pedo. Among the volumes banned were Tom Sawyer and Oliver Twist. What wasn't was a hardcover collect

I came here to post this, you beat me. I remember an interview where 2 great players swapped gear (one was EVH, I think the other was Jeff Beck) and even on the other's gear they sounded like themselves. I had the privilege of jamming

There was a large group of octopus homes on the sea floor shelf north of Bogangar Headland (east coast Australia) in the late 70s/early 80s. I used to play with the octopuses as a teen. I had no idea it was a scientifically significan

Apparently there's only 3 languages in Australia/New Zealand, and they're all sign languages. No mention of the 200+ endangered languages in Australia, or even Maori in NZ, where it is an official language. Might be a better

To be more precise, it's the model of engagement that bombards the eyes, ears and brain that's the problem. We need social media models that don't require 24/7 engagement.

Yes, but none of these require you to stare at a phone most of the time. Social media does, as it incessantly screams for your attention. I don't know anyone other than me who uses their phone for as little as you list (I look at the

I've thought about this a fair bit over the last decade. Full disclosure: I'm a smartphone minimalist. I use so little data on my phone I don't know how much I have, it was 100M per month but I think the telco increased it

I think a great tool for learning music theory is a stringed instrument. By having an instrument _you_ tune you get your ear in tune as well, and you can hear the difference different temperments make. But ultimately it's about making

I had a friend who did post-production psychoacoustics for many big-name acts and labels. He had incredible ears, and could call frequencies by hearing them. His studio was a gear-nerds wet-dream, and had all sorts of high end stuff. He

While I was living in San Diego in 2000, I got talking to some policemen in La Jolla. They told me that having a criminal record is considered a plus when applying for the job, as it shows you understand the criminal mind. They were probab

Forgoing surgery in my case would be rather fatal. One catch is that if you're undiagnosed with some problem like mine (Brugada Syndrome) you might get the vaccine before you know that's a bad idea. I have, in the past, been depe
