LSD and Psilocybin have been known for decades to be the most effective treatments for cluster headaches as well as migraines. You may be familiar with previous headache drugs like Imitrex. This family of drugs are in fact all analogs of the aforementioned hallucinogens.

Now if the motherfuckers would just let us take the effective form, rather than a shitty derivative that I immediately develop resistance to, I could avoid spending 72 hours each month in horrible pain, vomiting away my teeth and cardiovascular health.

Man, Slashdot is really down the drain. I expected Benford's law to be mentioned in the summary. If not there, one of the *first* comments. I also expected the first mention to be accurate!

Now almost any article is like... "Wait what, they didn't mention [relevant science/math detail]!" Search for a mention in the comments... and the first one is halfway down *and* requires correction.

BUT YOU HAVE TO LEARN FUN-DA-MENTALS FIRST! HOW CAN YOU LEARN TO SOLDER W/O KNOWING HOW TO SPELL?!? BLAAAAH

But anyhow... I went through hell in math curriculum because I was bad at doing arithmetic tables (learning disability in terms of calculation skills) and therefore "wasn't fit" to move through all that algebra curriculum (that I already fucking knew).

However, they've recognized that the only way to impact politics on a meaningful level is to join the existing two party system.

Am I the only one who noticed that the Tea Party was co-opted and neutralized by the Republican party? It wasn't without huuuuge expenditure of time, effort, and money that the Tea Party was redefined from "radical splinter group in opposition to the Republocrat system" to "militant wing of the Republican party".

I've got one. Let's start a political party founded on the premise that parties are terrible at policy and issues, and should focus on the *party* aspect.

"We are firm believers in personal politics. That is why we, as a party, have no platform. Vote for someone you fucking agree with, not someone who totes the party line."

Then, throw the fattest parties of any party. I'd call it the Purple Party.

Comment Re:Quantum Theory is not relevant (Score 1) 729

Within the realms of observation, consciousness clearly supervenes upon QM, as everything we see and call conscious is made of matter! And QM principles of uncertainty are what excuse of from problems of determinism versus free will. But clearly, that which you study functions at a much larger level, such that QM is only important because chemistry supervenes on it.

Does that sound right?
