Cold showers. Focus all day, plus drastically decreased stress. It just makes an enormous difference for me. Also, take a fiber supplement. The gut- brain connection is a real thing and a little fiber can go a long way to making you feel gr

Apparently it isn't. I'm not sure if China, where many of these come from, has banned it's production or what. I recall someone saying that was why but who knows really. There are other dissassociative RCs that are sold now b

I think everyone's concentration is deteriorating, but kids don't have the benefit of having experienced life without social media. From the very beginning they've been immersed in this, making their problems that much worse

>And banning teens from doing something popular... I'm not even sure how seriously to take this suggestion. This is such a strange thing to me. I understand that kids want to fit in, but really are parents supposed to always make su

Sorry, I agree with the rest of it. That part is just a pet peeve of mine so it distracted me-- but actually I do agree. I myself haven't read any detailed judgements by the Supreme Court, very few people do. I think people judge the o

But it gives time to shift the narrative-- create lots of anger and then start with the "donate to our side, we'll fight to maintain this/undo this". I mean I don't have any reason for thinking this is more likely t

Isn't sending illegal things by mail a federal crime? They'll probably start searching packages. Although I imagine it'd be very hard to stop it all just as they fail to stop drugs being brought in by mail

The way Roe v Wade is going seems exactly like federalism. If the Supreme Court says it's not their place to rule that way then it'll fall on individual states to protect or ban abortion. And one can imagine some states being for

Okay but you can't take someone to court for being unethical-- and the government in my experience doesn't care much if you complain they're not ethical. So while I don't disagree I'm not sure what the effect of thi

I don't see how one leads to another. The effect of living in Australia on a population of humans is entirely different than the effect of selectively being breeding dogs to be small and obedient. Just because both circumstances can ex

One study doesn't make established science. Look at nutrition science for example-- there are reputable studies in major journals that say dietary cholesterol is terrible for your blood cholesterol levels, and there are reputable studi

And how do you know a rat has better quality of life? Attention sure, but that isn't necessarily indicative of higher brain function. I believe when you're not paying attention to anything the DMN(default mode network) is active,

Are there really no moderated forums that the data can be taken from? Even HN-based training data would be much more civil

Which is where the unconscious bias comes from. It didn't mean researchers were all KKK members, just that they internalized the idea that black people weren't worth considering as they were all poor second class citizens anyways,

Of course there's an XKCD for that. Yes I agree the trend doesn't seem very significant, even if it's statistically there

This is what surprised me the most. It's admittedly been a long time since I took a stats class, but the trend line hardly looks like a trend. There hardly seems to be any correlation at all on either of the two charts with trend lines

It's a comparison they are never totally the same. That's the point. If women complain they are treated like slaves, do you stop them to explain they aren't actually treated like slaves?

He's not disagreeing with that. . After pregnancy there are about 18 years of raising a kid too-- so ability to provide is a part of selection. In the past women would have to take it into account, but now it's much less necessary

Time release medications in general are fascinating. There's another ADHD medicine, Vyvanse, that has a really interesting mechanism. The (dextro)amphetamine molecule is chemically binded to l-lysine-- a common amino acid. This makes i
