There aren't any videos mentioned in quotes, which makes me think that it's likely a mistake on the reporter's part. This paragraph seems to conflate the two. > The videos were analyzed, and detectives were able to determi

The technique I used when I was younger was blocking my nose and trying to inhale through it at random points throughout the day. If you're dreaming, you'll be able to breathe through a blocked nose. If you turn this into a habit,

Something I tried testing once was practicing the guitar while in a lucid dream. I was really interested in whether I'd be able to practice inside a dream and see improvement outside of it. Unfortunately the one time I attempted this,

Two months ago, Los Angeles was apparently going into a second lockdown -- this is what the news outlets were reporting. If you went to the beach on any day of the week, however, you would have seen throngs of unmasked people milling about

If that's the case, why hide behind a pseudonym that seems like it was created purely for buying crypto art? I'm looking at one right now -- their Twitter says they're a "rare digital art collector", and links to th

Rearranging my sleep schedule so that I fall asleep and wake up earlier means I lose the part of the day that I value the most -- the night. Should I really give that up so I can be more productive at my day job?

I generally don't care what people think of my appearance, but I'll still shave and comb my hair before meeting people -- not because I want to impress them, but because it says "I value you enough to make at least a little b

I think it was honestly just a trend. Back then you used to have design students making annual reports for fun so they'd have something to pad out their portfolios. I'd wager that sort of thing is now towards the bottom of the lis

The driving force behind the movement is a David and Goliath story. Take away Goliath, or turn the enemy into some abstract concept, and you weaken the story. I'm not sure it would have worked as well. Organized pump and dumps aren&#x2

I had a similar experience. I used to turn my nose up at recreational drug use, because I thought of it as a purely pleasure-seeking activity. One day, I took some MDMA out of curiosity, and found that within a few hours I had a strong sens

Your argument appears to be that people under the influence of a drug aren't able to accurately judge its positive benefits due to being intoxicated. But that doesn't really apply if a person is reflecting on an event from years p
