Denying a child his bike for YEARS, and I mean years gatheting dust in the shed is toxic by my definition, obviously not the single thing my father did that I would label this as an example of toxic masculinity, otherwise I'd call it &

I'm really sorry for the relationship you have with your father. I've had similar experiences, but not as drastic as yours -- my father didn't allow me to use my bike for YEARS as a punishment for smashing my bike as a 10 yea

Does it have to be batches? Can't it be like the reverse of a rocket engine where they use regenerative cooling from the fuel to cool the rocket nozzle, but just in reverse. Or like they way my grandpa was doing moonshine -- the alcoho

I am lactose intolerant just like my father and usually avoid milk, but traditionally my family did not avoid it. I can increase my tolerance to milk gradually, but I find no benefit in doing so, because I can drink up to 200 ml of milk wit

I always wonder when I hear about neuralink -- since we plan on sticking wires into the brain anyway -- why not go a step further, and stick some wires into the amygdala and some other areas and cure things like BPD, sociopathy, ADHD and so

There's more to it -- there's a considerable delay between your stomach being full to your brain telling you you're full. I can eat one pound of icecream in one go before I feel that I'm done, or 1/3 of that, tell m

I'm always quite scared of salmonella, so I tend to overcook everything with eggs in it, be it pudding or some pasta sauce -- mostly scared for my 3 year old daughter, I've lived on a subsistence farm and used A LOT of raw eggs an

My wife did receive a CRP test that confirmed her infection in the hospital(it was over 200) -- that was among the first things the emergency department checked, then an ultrasound revealed the burst apendice, but I don't think there&#

My wife recently had a burst apendice with perithonitis and a lot of puss in her abdomen and she had no fever. After the surgery my parents(both doctors) told me to watch for fever as a sign of reinfection. I had to remind them there was

I know about the anti-colinergic scale and that first generation antihistamines are bad, but I use third generation antihistamines(levoceterizine), and I use sporadically. But alpha blockers? I mean I don't use those anymore because t

Phenibut gives me terrible acidic dihareea and euphoria some 8 hours after taking it, I call it MDMA light. Effects come 4 hours after taking it so anyone taking it for sleep needs to take the therapeutic dosage -- 150-300mg and not the 900

Melatonin, benzos induce sleep but do not improve sleep quality for me. Less stress, feeling content + antihistamines or alpha blockers (especially trazodone which has both) do induce much longer deep sleep and feeling refreshed and indeed

Do we know for sure it's just this one gene? What if we engineered humans to have this gene, could we do more harm if in fact it's a combination of genes and we introduce just one of them?

I can't sleep on my back and I usually toss and turn all night and when I wake up, I feel like I need just 3 more hours of sleep. My mileage does value indeed :))

Do you happen to know what good sleep means? I've done polysomnography and they told me nothing except I don't have sleep apnea, and got a lot of microawakenings -- to me it felt I didn't sleep at all with all the wires and n

And if we know the actual distributions... we know the actual distributions and there's nothing predictive about this whole thing.

by raducu 5y ago
Is there anything useful out of this? All other species that don't know the actual distributions should expect that all other species are larger than themselves. If we base our search for alien intelligence on this assumption but it tu

I understand and I know certain people use mega-dosages(10-15 miligrams) to protect themselves from neurotoxicity of certain drugs, but I'm sure that's just bro-science. I would steer away from melatonin as a supplement for anythi

by raducu 5y ago
There was a MIT study that the optimal doaage for sleep is around 300mcg. The body produces about 30mcg of melatonin afik, and the oral bioavailability of melatonin is about 10% so, the math works out. More might produce excessive groggin

What kind of miracles do you expect from melatonin? To make you fall asleep? Do not take more than 450micro grams, over the counter contains waaay to much melatonin. Melatonin is an antioxidant, but it is not a miracle hormone. It just sign

But is it a poor excuse? I mean, in the past there could be a guy alone that discovers 10 math theorems alone and his proofs can be understood by highschool students. Today we hail new proofs in maths that require 30 pages of proof that few
