Good point, that would certainly confuse the situation if there was a 5x variation. Even though they aren't treated the same as drugs there are still quailty standards in the US, although they don't seem to be enforced very well.

I'm fairly sure I tried somewhere around .3mg 4 hours before bed and it still woke me up (and I couldn't get back to sleep for hours). I just recently tried .3ish mg (scooped from powder this time so not very precise, next time I

I think you mean sleep efficiency here not sleep quality? Sleep quality isn't possible to measure precisely without EEG and usually both deep sleep and REM sleep are tracked (and both together are usually less than half of sleep). I r

The first generation antihistamines are strongly anticholinergic, so long term use might have cognative effects and may increase the chance of dementia later in life. They can also interact with a lot of other medication since they are muc

I get the wake up reaction with any dose, unless I take it with other stuff that keeps me asleep. I have Non-24 and have tried a bunch of stuff and have found finding things to help stay asleep easier than finding stuff to help get to slee

From the appendix, it sounds like amphibians at least may still outweigh humans. They guess 1 amphibian per square meter over the entire non-ice covered terrestrial surface to get .1 Gt C. Which puts the other weights into perspective...

I've done exactly that to a couple of transcend usb sticks and managed to kill one when deleting some files while the rsync was running (to free up enough space for the rsync to finish). I think the controllers on the sticks are just

Those things are not as accurate as they seem since sellers can apparently opt out of allowing their price to show on the api used (or possibly Amazon does it automatically). It should work for this kind of thing with prices above normal,

The people running couchsurfing killed it themselves by changing from a non-profit to a VC funded for-profit business after accepting huge amounts of volunteer effort. But yeah, they aren't really the same thing. There is some overlap

The Braid mechanic was great for that kind of game. Hopefully more games will use it. IIRC, you could also speed forward again if you did that quickly enough after rewinding and it was a way to try to figure out what incorrect assumptions

UI latency is also a huge related issue.

These days it is not hard to come across a variety of shocking images and I can imagine that exposure to those could be correlated with the sensation seeking thing, making the images much more ordinary and leaving other considerations as st

There is also GHB/sodium oxybate. It would be nice if this approval caused a major shift, but I tend to doubt it.

There are a bunch of ways to solve Zeno's Paradox involving time (and not necessarily involving real numbers and calculus), Wikipedia gives a quick overview of many. In the interesting number paradox a solution can be related to time (

How can an arrow move if it needs to get halfway to wherever it going first? Lots of paradoxes you can construct with infinitite recursion or self reference in the absence of time. In this case, interesting is fundamentally a temporal conce

In a bit more detail, the basic idea is that forgetting is a regular, valuable occurance to have better access to the useful information and the way that useful information is determined is use over time. If you use particular information

That does sound horrible :(. I don't think waking up every 3 hours or so is necessarily that bad if you can get back to sleep easily, since that is about the length of a sleep cycle (they get shorter later in the night). Although in y

The doctor will almost certainly have recommended "sleep hygiene" (including things like a dark and quiet room at night, not staying in bed when your mind is racing, don't use your bed for non-sleeping activities, try to wake

One thing Oregon has spent a ton of time dealing with is how to test pesticide levels, THC, and CBD. There are apparently technical issues that make testing difficult and it sounds like it is still needs improvement. Apparently heavy pest

If you get a tiny print information sheet it has that information somewhere. More conveniently, drugs.com has that information in the professional section of the side effects page. The inconvenient aspect is that the number of listed side

Personally, I'd add "don't write to your own memory" (with various stack use rules based on expected library use) and relax the "no structures" rule to encourage code that can be used from multiple threads simu

Well, my computer runs a bunch of software written by random volunteers so personally I'm not that worried about it. I personally prefer that to the available alternatives. Yes it would be great to have monitoring (of all the dns ser
