Sure, as are all consumable things.

That's true. I agree with this in general. From your initial statement I thought you were including those oils even in the context of their natural occurrence.

I'm not sure that the above can be summarised as "oils are not good for us". If the oil was removed from olives, the resulting olives would not be healthier. If the fish oil was removed from fish, the resulting fish would not

> All types of oils are not good for us, oil in general is not a health food, no even extra virgin olive oil. I don't buy this. Omega 3 is the obvious counter example, but I don't even believe that olive oil is outright bad for

Thanks. I also thought that they were urban legends. I do still think it's rare enough to not worry too much about, but at the same time I think the common narrative among psychedelic proponents that "if anything, it makes you _mo

Thinking about this a bit more, I can definitely see how it's immoral to put out suggestive pieces of art.

Good point.

Ah, point taken. Perhaps this can be offset by aiming a lot of the profits towards mental health charities.

Hah! I suspect though that had I not debilitated myself it could have been worse. Before I jumped I attempted to run out to the stairwell, which would have resulted in me alone and running around London. I'm just glad I didn't hur

Just to add my own experience. I am an experienced user of psychedelics with a lot of trips under my belt. The last time I took LSD I wound up thinking that my existence on earth was part of a universe that I myself had generated as the tot

I personally don't think it's likely that any show can be solely responsible for suicides. What seems much more realistic is that the show speaks to a real depression in youth and unfortunately this may have led to "premature

Maybe so. When was the last time you forgot to do something that was "common-sense"? Forgot to pick up your coat after work? Left your wallet on your desk? Now imagine each of those mistakes was fatal for a patient.

They have, since 2008. You're right about pace though, unfortunately rolling out change into bureaucracy is painstakingly slow.

Almost, but on a road and not on a rail. Also a little bit like cars, but these ones drive themselves. A bit like a tram, but with the ability to move freely and not be guided by a rail. Not at all like a bar of soap. Somewhat like a bicycl

In my experience, such time pressure comes from management, not the developers themselves. This is evidenced by the painstaking effort a dev will go to to make their ultimate experience on a side project. In other words, users are often sid

I don't like this view that somehow the HN readership is too sensitive to inflammatory/controversial information and must be protected from it. If there's "no point", then I'd expect it not to be upvoted. Obvio

That's a false dichotomy. There's clearly some kind of optimal rate that lies inbetween stable glacier and glacier that melts in a single day.

Then you win I guess.

by _carl_jung 8y ago
That's a good comprehensive description and I agree.

OP said that Africans _die young_, not that the _young die_. Lowering the life expectancy lowers the average age if it's because the older don't live long.

I look forward to the Netflix documentary.

Hah, I don't remember the packaging. I think I went in and asked for the one with pseudoephedrine and the pharmacist understood.

by _carl_jung 8y ago
Are you in the US? We have Sudafed with pseudoephedrine in the UK.

Everything you described would be impressive if this were 1980.

Do you have a citation for this? Specifically, "after your late 60s": are you talking about people who don't squat ever, and then try to in their late 60s? Or are you talking about people who squat regularly and find themselv

Not to be pedantic, but I think you mean Iain M Banks. Same person but the stuff he writes under Iain Banks isn't sci-fi.

I've thought about this for a while, complete with HOTAS support.
