Sorry that happened. I get relatively minor tinnitus, but these exercises have helped. Dude’s a chiropractor, but this particular stuff is not chiropractic and is legit. The thing that helps me is the palms on ears and drumming with fingers on the back of your head (like 50% through the video or so)
I have gone off a few times over the years and didn’t experience many side effects/withdrawals, but that is definitely not always the case - I’ve heard that it reeeaaally does not work for some people. Ymmv
Similar to your comment about ADHD, I feel like it helps me with some of my autism symptoms (“low support needs”/aspergers)
If you have depression anxiety and find that Prozac (an ssri) doesnt work well, you might consider something that directly works on dopamine - like Buproprion (brand name = wellbutrin, a NDRI, norepinephrine dopamine reuptake inhibitor).
This could be a good use of AI. Since this regime is doing it, and since some of their claims are pretty unrealistic, it probably won’t be. But, ML has been used for a while to help identify new drug compounds, find interactions, etc. It could be very useful in the FDA’s work - I’m honestly surprised to hear that they’re only just now considering using it.
The Four Thieves Vinegar Collective uses some software from MIT ASKCOS that uses neural networks to help identify reactions and retrosynthesis chains to produce chemical compounds using cheap, homemade bioreactors. Famously, they are doing this to make mifepristone available for people in areas of the US without access to abortion care.
You can check it out here. It’s a good example of a very positive use-case for an AI/ML tool in medicine.
+1. It was really good
It could be less doomsday, but not in any way they’d show in a propaganda movie.
reform copyright law to have shorter windows where stuff is out of the public domain
create a public AI R&D agency, prevent and criminalize the private development of AI on any non-public domain assets
train the public AI on only public domain assets and release it freely to the public for non-commercial use (to run locally and on publicly funded data centers).
Grant commercial licenses to businesses. But require majority employee approval (democratically) for any use of AI that would take existing human jobs - would ideally lead to employee buyouts, re-skilling into new jobs, etc.
for any licensed profession (lawyers, doctors, engineers in some places, etc) make it so the full burden of any mistake made due to negligent AI use rests on the individual. Like how lawyers keep submitting bad documents to the courts - citing fake cases that AI made up, etc.: they should potentially be disbarred.
I only watched the first season (big fan of the books as a kid). Imo, it is not worth your time. They took out what makes WoT special and produced some extremely generic, bland fantasy.
Depends on your goals. I’d say learn the one you have the most use for. If you don’t have a use and are just learning for fun, then pick the most interesting one. If you’re learning intending to acquire the language as quickly as possible, then either Italian or French would be good choices.
I am learning Chinese (mandarin, aka 汉语, aka 普通话) and I personally find it very logical, interesting, and fun as a native english speaker who used to be conversationally fluent in Spanish. There are definite difficulties with the language (soooooo many homonyms, characters (汉子) take some getting used to, tones, etc) but if you learn it, there is a lot of reading material and media that will become accessible to you. Additionally some things about it are easier than other languages - like the grammar is very simple, you don’t have to worry about conjugations and tenses as much. Also, I think that it provides more cognitive benefits because of how different it is to romance languages.
汉语是很酷。我推荐你！
Airports are infrastructure buildings. This is like seeing a billboard telling you not to hatecrime gay people and boycotting the highway.
The main problem with the train would be that once you get to those cities, they are massive, sprawling, and lack good public transit.
So hopefully they improve the transit situation in the cities & surrounding areas as well.
Like 80% of the serotonin in your body is in your intestines iirc.
AFAIK you can literally mail anything (except these things) as long as you pay the right postage and address it.
I largely analyze data and create software to automate business tasks. This allows people in my company to make informed decisions about the business, how money is or should be spent, who & where to hire, helping non-techical people automate repetitive tasks. I also present/interpret data and influence decision-making.
This might mean creating forecasts. Automating data analysis with reports. Building data sources (gathering and manipulating data from different places and compiling it). Building interactive software or excel sheets for non-technical users. Creating white papers or presentations on analysis I’ve done. Etc.
I use excel, google sheets, google app script (basically javascript), tableau, python, and SQL.
The existence of publishers for scientific literature is completely unnecessary in the modern era. They exist only to make profits to continue their existence. They don’t actually provide value anymore when research institutions can just conduct peer review and then let researchers self-publish.
They create negative value (a bottleneck) by limiting who can access research for just… aggregating and hosting articles.
If I wasn’t so sure Trump actually thinks the tariffs are great and popular, I’d say he’s trying to sabotage Vance’s presidential aspirations in the event Trump can’t hold office. That’d be pretty smart.
Some of the early episodes really show their age. It’s definitely still worth watching in 2025, but it is an old show at this point.

It really depends, but ultimately a lot of social interactions can only happen between two people at once. Say you and your wife get into a fight. Instead of fighting it out & making up, she now has the option to stop fighting you and go hang out with your co-husband - and you aren’t invited. She also has the option to emotionally strong arm you to get her way by not only stonewalling you/withholding affection, but also by threatening to push you out of your marriage for another guy who literally lives with you both. Conversely, she does the same thing to the other guy.
Basically, now all those 2-person social interactions that happen in a marriage become much more complicated due to the presence of a 3rd person.
You’d need to have a lot of trust in your wife (and this other guy too) - she’d need to have a tremendous amount of emotional stability and be non-manipulative. She’d suddenly have a lot more power in the relationship in a very inequitable way.
My wife and I are very into monogamy. But she has a serious temper and can be very manipulative when she’s angry (she’s gotten better about this, but it’s a known issue). It’d be very easy for her to do something hurtful. I’m not talking about sex, just the emotional threat of turning to someone else for relief from me - and the implied threat of pushing me out.
