I am very active in a lot of online tinnitus forums. If that worked it would have been shown to years ago because it gets tried over and over and over and over and over. Seems like it's a common idea that gets stuck in technically o

I have a few Raspberry Pi boards and since I've seen folks doing stuff similar to what mostly do I thought I comment on something I hadn't seen yet. I struggle with tinnitus distress and Ménière's. One of my coping strategie

You are referring to Bufotoxin / Bufotenin which is produced by some toads (of the Bufo family). You can read more on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_River_toad

In my opinion the title of the original paper is much better, in that it's not clickbait. It's "Room-temperature Operation of Low-voltage, Non-volatile, Compound-semiconductor Memory Cells" And it's here: https:&#

Actually, I bet the invention of digital video cameras and computer post-processing makes the whole enterprise much easier. Because my most vivid memory of that time is a debate between my friends about if one had formed or not. Being able

Yeah, "Potential Money-Laundering Lapses" is a interesting phrase to use to describe a systemic and long running criminal conspiracy. Sounds like we're most of the way there to the "Nothing will happen" part.

Of course it's dismissive. This is because "I don't have anything to hide" is not an invitation for some long drawn out discussion about the intersection of philosophy, technology, culture, and civil rights. It's

In my personal experience the people who use the 'I have nothing to hide' argument, use it because they are unwilling to expend the cognitive effort to delve into the topic in any meaningful way. Trying to reason with someone abou

Sorry to tell you that having a side business to get by is nothing but working class. Suffering from the delusion that you're not a member of the proletariat when the plain fact is that you are is the path to bankruptcy and poverty.
