   As a non-native English speaker it took me a few paragraphs to get the punny core of the story. However, I still don't get this part: "I wrote to the Government, and they sent back a pamphlet on the repair and maintenance of frame

   My hope is that the brain is basically just a "consciousness" receiver and does not create it. Brain damage results in bad reception, people with schizophrenia receive signals not intended for them, people with alien hand syndrome

   At least "natural" psilocybin can't be compared with opiods at all, other that both are controlled substances. Psilocybin is not addictive, it's way to exhausting and also physiologically not possible. However, there is

   Played it many years ago while trying out the few open source games that where out there and loved it, especially the sound track and voices.

   Same in Germany but e.g. I work in a company that does mechanical engineering, so I can join the IG Metall. If I'd work for the public I could join Verdi etc. However, I believe there is also no specific Union for "pure" IT.

   Really interesting device, thank you for the link! Reminds me of those tiny Sony laptops that where hip a decade or so ago.

   Thank you, with all the different Chromebooks around it's a little difficult to choose. Regarding Apple: I've had some really bad experiences in the past with a Mac Mini G4 and an iBook G3, especially regarding customer service an

    This always scared me because I don't even know what counts as shaking. Can you accidentally shake a baby? Can my 2 year old daughter get shaken baby syndrome when older children on an inflatable castle with her jump and bounce too wil

    This is exactly what I was thinking of, just smaller and closer range!

    I also just installed the app yesterday. I like it too but this "turn off the screen" thing happens when I watch videos in full screen too to me. I happily watch a video and suddenly the screen turns off while the audio is still o

    To be specific: In full screen mode it turns off the screen after a while and so far I could not find any setting that disables this behavior. The things I found on the internet where about dimming the screen and the suggested solutions aga

    I installed in yesterday. It has some bugs that really drive me insane but otherwise it's great.

    I found that when I listen to something interesting while driving a car, let's say an audio book or something in the radio unconscious mind seems to drive the car on autopilot. If I'm lucky I arrive at my destination without remem

    I'm a native German speaker as well. While I understand this sentence, I think it is bad style in many cases. It's fine for artsy things where the reader is focused but if you have sentences like this in e.g. a report for a projec

    I would describe it differently: Psychedelics like psilocybin and LSD deactivate filters in your brain (parts of the default mode network to be precise). These filters are unconscious and do not only block weird visual effects but also thou

    I often wonder if we really need(ed) to change everything to it's current state. What if we still had fax machines and photocopiers and non-networked IBM PCs in the office? I mean we could run a business like that in the 80s, why not n

    I guess chemical treatment or the suggested "heat to 60 degrees celsius" might work. But the f*** are pretty mobile and escape or call security / police.

    The last book of the Remembrance of Earth's Past series (Death's End), also features a similar concept. They just send a brain into space though and use sails to capture the energy of the nuclear blasts.
