Yeah, it seems to have been incredibly unlikely. It took a long time.

I guess things didn't end up working that way today. Or maybe the 6.4 prevented the 7.1 from being even stronger :(

Not a minor detail :)

Well, hold on there: natural selection is not always so simple. Older adults take care of their own as well as the extended family's offspring, providing a mechanism for selection.

Well, not really. Compared to Japan...

Small earthquakes are a good thing, not a bad thing. They relieve stress on the fault without having a major slippage. I think.

And over 1 billion of that was pharmaceutical companies. Wonder if that has any side effects?

Regulation tends to exist because the market wasn't regulating itself and abuse was rampant. So there seems to be an underlying cause of dysregulation common to these markets.

Everyone gets it. It just goes away, often for years. There's no cure. Like colds.

They don't mention simplex B, which makes me wonder if it cancels you out.

I use 10% Ketamine topical cream for nerve pain. It's the business. Irritating it isn't covered by insurance as the research is favorable.

Messing with your own PAP settings can be a bad idea. I have complex apnea - a little bit of obstructive apnea (small pie hole), a little bit of central apnea (brain messages to breathe don't get through). I had an Auto BiPAP machine,

What high technology manufacturing America does is in the security space, otherwise Japan is a trusted source.

In MapReduce, they're the same thing.

This sounds like a bad idea until I remember that most countries have this arrangement and I've made liberal use of it to great benefit... but mostly that has to do with the lower cost of drugs everywhere but the United States. I stock

But your parents have control over hospice arrangements. The only thing a hospital can legally in most states do once you decide to let her die is to sedate if necessary and cut off food and let the body shut down. What gives you the idea i

It becomes not optional and is a waste of time. People get stuck questioning everything and become useless piles of flesh. It happened to me for a couple of years after too much LSD.

Yes, I experienced being 'fried' for a couple of years after excessive MDMA and LSD use. My experience mirrors yours.

by rjurney 8y ago
My experience tells me that excessive MDMA use makes the drug not work, and results in severe depression. I've experienced it, I've seen others experience it. Neurotoxicity would seem to be the explanation.

Great. More and bigger monopolies forming in networks/media.

This is good advice: go to the nicest hospital you can.

This is the kind of horror story I was preaching against. They don't do such things unless you become violent. This is not one flew over the Cuckoo's Nest.

You don't petition anyone. Unless you were committed or attempted suicide, you get to sign yourself out. I've seen it happen.

What if you need the help? If you're severely depressed or hallucinating, by definition you can't care for yourself.

by rjurney 8y ago
Partial hospitalization would be way preferable, but that generally requires more engagement on the part of the depressed than "show up and say you're gonna kill yourself."

It is unfortunate that stigma around mental illness causes most people to view psychiatric hospitals as places to avoid at all cost, as they have a stigma so terrible going to one is like dying multiple deaths. After that you're '

This does seem the most likely thing. A single traumatic brain injury in china being linked to the shenanigans in Cuba? Seems sketchy at best.

It's a hard problem but Netflix's model represents the state of the art in machine learning for recommendations. Still scared of the singularity? :)

Do what a search engine does: detect a more common form via edit distance and substitute that word.
