how it works^
Yeah, lots of ROS and inflammation from excess sugar, especially when ingested without fibre.
Left brain right brain.... Language? Surely as black and white as it gets.
Ditto the sugar /ADHD thing, that's in heavy research and is more about sugar -> inflammation -> neurological changes -> ADHD symptoms.
Good thing it’s harder to get a drivers license in Europe. From watching some US driving tests, it seems all you need to do is drive around the block for ten minutes.
My boss told me to get my driving license in the US, she said it took 10 minutes and she had to drive in a line and then back around a corner.
I did it in Sweden, months of training, theory course like a university exam, high speed braking course on artificial ice, with and without ABS... it was nuts and amazing.
Doing a gun license in Sweden atm, same exact thing. A year minimum of training and a lot of skill tests.

ebay, 4 unopened boxes, I just bought one but now wish I’d picked a couple of them up.
Boom! We get that a lot.
Although in Clockwork Orange they used apomorphine which was the thing in the '50s/60s:
A fourteen-year-old boy was said by his parents to have started smoking at the age of seven, and to be spending every penny of his pocket money on cigarettes.
He had at one time regularly smoked 40 cigarettes per day, but was now averaging about half that number because his pocket money had been reduced. He said he wanted to give up smoking because he had a smoker’s cough, was breathless on exertion, and because it was costing so much money.
On the first occasion he was given an injection of apomorphine 1/20 g, started smoking, he became nauseated and vomited copiously.
Four days later he came for the second treatment, and said that he still had the craving for cigarettes, but had not in fact smoked since the previous session because he felt nauseated when he tried to light one. He was given an injection of apomorphine 1/20 g, and after seven minutes he lit a cigarette reluctantly, and immediately said he felt ill. He was encouraged to continue smoking, and he collapsed.
When he next attended he said he no longer had any craving for cigarettes, “Just smoke from my father’s cigarette makes me feel ill”.
Two months Iater he left school and started working. He said he had “got a bit down” at work and wanted to “keep in with the others”, so he had accepted a proffered cigarette. He immediately felt faint and hot, and was unable to smoke. It is now a year since his treatment, and his parents confirm that he no longer smokes.

It doesn't work like that. The effect is called the 'Garcia' effect and it's completely tied to smell and taste.

Although that's a good point, if you don't smoke/snus/vape, then don't do the aversion treatment part. It might accidentally cause you to get a life-time aversion to something you ate in the 6 hour window before doing the session.
Although I have to say it's pretty funny trying to walk around after taking the pills, feels like being hammered drunk.
Any smokers/vapers/snusars want to try a VR quit-tool?
Key features Your body and mind will start to dislike the taste and smell of tobacco Our motivational coaching helps you change habits and stay smokefree for good Reduce stress levels and master mindfulness to better handle waves of craving.At the moment, Sick of Smoking is free to use in return we...
We're a startup looking for feedback on this beta software. The idea is to vape/smoke/snus during short 'aversion' sessions in VR, and then quitting (for most people) happens automatically (the tobacco suddenly tastes/smells terrible).
There's also some coaching and anxiety exercises.
It's our 1.0, so if you have any feedback please let us know!
Got some open headphones, blew my mind.
My first 'real' headphones were MDR6s/V600s from Sony, maybe 20 years ago. I was DJing so went for closed back, and to me open headphones just seemed dumb. 90% of the time I was listening to music in public, going places, so I always went for maximum isolation.
I ended up with some Etymotic ER-4s, with the triple cone silicon tips. When wireless came around I got the Dash in-ears, and used triple flange silicon tips there too, so again, total isolation.
At home I used Sennheiser Amperior, also very closed.
Recently I felt the need for something very light but wanted to easily pop them on and off, so grabbed some PX-100-IIs, and holy shit.
The audio is fantastic, soundstage is so huge, and at the same time, being able to hear everything through them is great. I can have music on super-low and hear everything that's going on around me.
When I got the Dash, it was amazing to be able to turn on the microphone and hear the audio around you, but also have music on. It felt like AR for the ears. I had no idea that nice, light, open backed hps did the same thing already.
