Unpolished but still an entry.
And that makes sense. We're physical beings. The alignment, balance, symmetry of ourselves as physical bodies - of course that makes a difference, sometimes a big one, in our health. The anti-chiropractic camp would ask us to believe, what?, that we're pure spiritual essence, to which the body is so secondary even in regards to the body's own health that only our mental attitude - as adjusted of course by whatever drugs an orthodox physician might decide to prescribe - makes an "objective" difference in healing?
I don't think anyone is saying that you can't have physical problems with your spine nor that it can't influence several areas of your body (break it and if you had that delusion you will lose it quickly enough).
What is being said (by the people that aren't just parroting "chiropractics doesn't work") is this: The things that they do _do not_ do what they claim they do.
It is a logical fallacy to think that just because something is important (the spine) someone that claims to do good things to it are in fact doing this. The two are not connected. In fact, they are disjoint in two places.
Take these two examples:
1) The practice is wrong but the practitioner think it's right.
2) The practice is wrong and the practitioner think it's wrong.
I'm sure a lot of chiropractors are in the 1st camp and this, just like the homeopathic movement, confuses matters. People try to use trust, judgement of character and the beliefs of the practitioner to judge the truth of a matter when the startingpoint needs to be a completely different one.
I'll mention it again. The core of the distrust: The things that they do _do not_ do what they claim they do. It might help you (and it might help others). It is besides the point, sadly.
That said, I'm glad it helps you (and other posters). I find it hard to tell people to not do something that helps them. Without something else to sugest as an option it is just stupid.
For all intents and purposes, the flow of time from my perspective was different than normal.
More likely, your memory of the event as you look back at it makes it seem like time was slower. As I understand it, the brain has something very much like a short buffer memory that it can use for instant replays. You notice this in situations like when someone at the table next to you say your name. It's not like you react to every word starting with 'b' or 'be'. Instead, the brain is playing it back to you (and in your case probably with a slower speed than the actual event).
Thus, the memory you now think you have of the event is more likely a memory of the instant replay that your brain did for you. Some childhood memories are like this too. You don't actually remember the even itself but you have a memory of a memory. The brain is a strange place.
Yeah. Like huge oil production for a country with a small population. Rumor has it, if every Norwegian were given their "fair share" of the oil production when they hit 18, every single one of them would be a millionaire. If this is true or not, I don't know. But just comparing GDP from two so different economies is almost as pointless as comparing net output.
As a Swede though, I ask myself, what would their GDP be if it wasn't for the oil (and, erm, cod) and would they again be 'little brother'? =)
Let me preface this by saying I dislike the whole 'web OS' crap that Starforce, among others, represent. Useless. At least for me. Maybe there is a target group out there for this stuff too. I would like to get hold of the underlying software though to run on my own server. Does anyone know if this is possible/available?
There is every now and again a moment when it could be useful. I have my own documents saved on my server (mostly) and I could certainly set up rsync'ish capabilities (or something similar) to have it mirrored completely. All this stuff, useless as it is living on someone elses hardware could actually sometimes be useful living on your own. Also it could be amusing to experiment with.
I seem to remember some vnc java applet that I guess could technically do something similar, but handled correctly I think this could be better (as in not completely suck as the VNC sollution did when I last tried it).
Shouldn't that be Chanandler Bong?
Yes, speeds are survivable. Now try to actually find some torrents... What is needed is not a better client (though it wouldn't hurt) but they need to reach a 'critical mass' of users.
With your bare hands?!?
