I think the expérimental benzodiazepine withdrawal technique was problematic. Nobody should fuck around and experiment when it comes down to benzo or alcohol withdrawal.
No, lithium is a mood stabilizer. It is mainly used to treat manic episodes in bipolar disorders and is not a particularly effective treatment for major depression.
I doubt drinking water contains anything close to therapeutic doses of lithium.
I’ve heard the Great Seal Bug described as being activated by microwaves, and wonder if all these embassies and offices were riddled with similar bugs.
It is plausible, but the Great Seal (aka “the Thing”) only operated at 800Mhz. The microwave range is from 1 gigahertz (GHz), up to about 300 gigahertz.
I remember there was a website or app which let you listen to wikipedia articles whose subject was near you, based on geolocation info. Anyone remember what it was?
The article mentions organic as possibly more nutritious. Are there any studies which prove this, and give comparative organic / non-organic nutritional values?
You may find this interesting: The town of Carencro, Louisiana takes its name from an American Indian legend about a mastodon that died there. The name has been interpreted as either "carrion crow" for wake of vultures that feasted upon its carcass, or "carnero"--"bone pile"--for the bones of the creature itself. The fossil was discovered in the 18th century. Oral cultures have a long memory.
As far as I remember the story was regarding a fairly specific segment of Bayou Carencro where the creature was said to have drowned, and is where the fossils were found. That makes it a bit more compelling than some Mastodon being unearthed in the general region.
That is some good evidence. But consider that if there are 1000 stories, and 1 turns out to have supporting evidence, does that mean the other 999 are reliable, too?
It's like the psychic who correctly predicted the last 7 presidential elections. One doesn't hear about the other psychics whose predictions didn't pan out.
Wikipedia is filled with speculative cryptozoological connections to extinct animals, the notes are more of an acknowledgement that such speculation exists as a cultural artifact connected to that animal, rather than that the speculation is valid or well-supported.
Alongside the comments about Aboriginal legends, a copy of my comment from elsewhere in the thread:
The Klamath Native American tribe has legends of the eruption of Mt. Mazama that formed Oregon's Crater Lake - which happened in ~5677 BC [1]. If oral legends that reflect real events can last seven and a half thousand years, is there any reason to think they couldn't last 15ky, or 20ky? It seems to me all that's needed is a continuous cultural line.
I'm not sure I see evidence for anti-gentilism. I'll give the benefit of the doubt and say over-sensitivity, or paranoia. But accusations of anti-semitism are being thrown around far too freely. Discussions of non-jewish victims is not anti-jewish, and it should not be shutdown by trying to shame or accuse people.
Well, before he even asks for my 'intention' he accusing me of 'slandering Jews'.
Would I have got someone harassing me about my 'intention' if I posted about Christian or Muslim fundamentalists who don't want other peoples suffering to be mentioned? If I say Christians killed thousands during the Spanish Inquisition, will I get someone stalking and harassing me and accusing me of slandering all Christians? What is the standard here?
The whole thread is him implying I'm an anti-semite for posting a link to the New York Post. Everyone else in the thread is OK with the link, and my summary of it. But all he does is ask 'how long have you beaten your wife' style questions.
