My quiet, somewhat socially anxious mother sold World Book door to door in the late sixties to get her family a copy for free. I really think those volumes were greatly responsible for the positive trends in my life. I loved reading the Wo

Adding pinch of potassium Permanganate is a good way to purify water on a camping trip. Also carry a little glycerin with you. Fun fire starting trick is to fill a bottle cap with permanganate and pour a little glycerin on top - wait one

Thank you for putting this out there. I do a thursday zoom "TED talk" on the topic of mental health, and when I read an article like this it makes me feel like I missed someone. My biggest goal is to give people tools so they do

When I used to get asked: "What do you do?" quite often, I would reply: "I plant flowers". Funny thing is, I still do - but now that I am not in prime "rat race" age, I have slipped away from that answer and us

I stopped drinking 30 years before this article was published. A 12 step program played a big part in it. Since then I have been an amateur student of the field, and I feel these gentlemen are more wrong than right. AA is an easy target be

Yes- to your edit. I was just on phone talking to my older brother, and I mentioned that I had commented on this thread. I told him that while I played with explosives and such, I was always very cautious about it. I never tried to make nit

Thanks, If I thought a bit before I typed I would have realized that. Most of my code the last 12 years has been C on dsPICs, but coworkers have been designing in ST micros recently. I am not very fond of the HAL system, but lots of folks

Just went to look to see if there were any complilers for Rust on Microchip or ST. Perhaps I have found a fun side project.

Thanks for posting this. More than anything I think this is a conversation starter. The issue is complex, and it does not help to pretend that any mental health issue can blended in to a functional life style. We spend so much time celebrat

I was lost and hopeless at 23. At that time I had flunked out of two schools, married, had a kid ( reason for marriage ) had wife run off. When I turned 24 I was fired from my first real job, and then a few weeks later I quit drinking. 12 y

I am encouraged by the interest in proven methods that had been set aside for the ease of antibiotics. I watch the renewed interest in phages hopefully too.

I read micro dosing the first time also. Somewhat out of habit when there is cognitive dissonance, I reread it and saw what it actually said. Usually this feature of my mind helps me to read quickly, but it comes with side effects :)

I am one of the lucky ones! I had the hand me down erector sets- WE made race cars with Rat traps as the motive force. I had several Gilbert Chemistry sets. I asked my favorite aunt to get me sulfer and Saltpeter - I made some rather good

What kind of coding do you like. Most of the folks here are Web and App centric. If you like embedded programming, a lot of the same concepts apply- Make cool little toys for yourself, and tell the world about it.
