Rant - it's not Ecstasy, it's MDMA. Ecstasy is a street drug. I wish these reporters would get their facts straight. Also, I did a guided therapeutic session two years ago and it was sublime. Top three experiences of my life. Tran

Does Android not have the equivalent to FaceTime audio? I get that for x-platform you have to use one of the apps being discussed. I use FT Audio with my sister, who's in UK, all the time (I'm in Chicago). Completely free and exce

Not weird at all. I did a therapeutic mdma session with an incredibly well trained therapist who was also very experienced with medicine work. It’s the same for ayahuasca, which I also experienced. You wouldn’t want a shaman who hadn’t wake

Ah, Traction Park! We survived at least two visits. That wave pool was brutal.

Heh. You've never carried a body with a Nikon 14-24 f/2.8 or a Canon 11-23 f/2.8. They are beasts! But yes, the teles are generally the heavy ones.

Thanks for that link! Please tell all my clients to stand by for the next month while I level up.

Man, I played me a LOT of Lode Runner back in the day! Apple II+ 48k ram, color monitor and the joy stick he describes.

I assume that is from Buchinger Clinic in Germany? I watched a documentary (can’t remember the name) about fasting that claims it is more commonplace in Europe than elsewhere. They also claimed the Soviets studied it for years with favorabl

I used to have one of those Apple thunderbolt displays and without getting into all the same technical stuff I can say it is likely that it did the same thing. I tried it on at least five computers and always had the same problem - machine

I've used Camo since beta and it is very solid. Image quality is great and it just works. Agree with you about a way to mount the phone, however.

Have you ever taken psychedelics?

Try it with a predetermined intention. Something like “explore”, “heal”, “connect with the universe”. Mindset and setting are key drivers for psychedelic experiences.

For sure. Money, our roles and borders are nothing more than collective agreements on how we wish to see “reality”. Money is really just energy when you get down to it.

Same goes for meditation. People will say they don't have time to sit for ten minutes a day. The longer you sit, the more time you seem to have. A paradox.

Fein also makes amazing vacuums and they're very quiet. At least they used to; I haven't been in the space for years.

I've been depressed for pretty much my entire adult life (I'm 51). Ten years of Zoloft did nothing for me. Should have quit after two. Eventually, I too, found the magic of psychedelics, combined with meditation and extensive body

That's a great point that never occurred to me! I always sort of hold both sides of the argument over unions in my head and can never reconcile them.

So funny, I was just helping my 20 year old with a page layout in which she had used TNR. I said, "We need to select ANYTHING but Times New Roman." Article forwarded. ;)

Yes. I was born and bred a capitalist. The last twenty years have nearly wrung it all out of me. That said, it's not all suffering. Sometimes it is nice to get out of one's place for some air after staring at a screen all day. Lik

I know they're huge and I'm just pissing in the ocean, but I do just about everything I can these days to buy elsewhere. Several months ago I started ordering from a local bookstore with a lackluster interface and slightly higher

Totally agree. I'm not a fan of the residential LED light bulbs that I have. Even though they are supposed to be 3200ºK there's weird color fringing at the penumbra and they cause a lot of metamerism on certain materials. And thes

As somebody with chronic pain, I can attest to this. I kept taking 3-5mg of CBD and wondering why it did nothing. My doc finally told me I needed 1mg/kg body weight. Once I hit it with 50mg and a little THC, I got results. But, it'

Mine used to be as well. Turned out to be some sort of allergy, most likely a gluten intolerance. I don't eat gluten any longer and my nose is rarely, if ever, blocked.

I use this several times a week to help me get to sleep. I count to 112 or so. 75% of the I'm usually asleep within five minutes of finishing. Not always, though.

You can support maps.org. They have been doing outstanding work in this space for 30+ years. Write or call your congresscritter?

It depends on where in the world you live. In the US, MAPS.org are currently conducting Phase III trials on MDMA for PTSD, primarily using veterans as subjects, I believe. Johns Hopkins (I think ) is doing trials with Psilocybin. No idea a
