  • “In essence, DMT-induced ‘mystical’ experiences appear to manifest in the body as an unusual state of coactivation of cardiac sympathetic and parasympathetic activity,” Bonnelle said. “Not only was this paradoxical physiological state of peaceful activation strongly related to spiritual and insightful experiences, but it was also predictive of well-being improvement after the experience. Our results also suggest that practices that promote the cultivation of balance between the two branches of the autonomic nervous system may facilitate the occurrence of such a state.”






  • Is he happy refers to the end of Camus’ book The Myth of Sisyphus where he concludes “One must imagine Sisyphus happy.” The oft omitted penultimate line gives the meaning Camus was going for. “The struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man’s heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.” So one does not have to make believe Sisyphus to be happy but one must consider him so.





  • I went through something similar and had my blender sitting for a while. Then I had kids and decided to get on the smoothie train again.

    What I found regarding blandness was never add ice, never add water. Use whole milk or heavy cream or half and half. Unflavored yogurt is good and tastes like fruit when blended with frozen fruit. Bananas turn into a smooth thick liquid when blended. Frozen Bananas are often recommended but don’t help texture as much.

    To summarize, frozen fruit is already bland and cold, don’t add water or ice. Skim milk is water for this use case so avoid it.





  • My local big box pharmacy gave me the name brand for the generic price because the generic was backordered. They said they did this based on what the insurance allows. I went there three times in two weeks to ask about an eta before one of the techs suggested we try that. It worked and I had my meds in an hour.
