Re: Depression is likely not caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain, study says
I took Zoloft for less than a year. It might have helped, but I got off it as quickly as possible. The brain zaps from not taking it were unpleasant.

Re: The food and drink thread
So here's a real vegetarian recipe, compliments of the internet. I made it almost exactly as stated with two club sized zucchinis that we despaired of finding a use for. The key step that's easy to overlook is sweating the water out of the shredded zucchini with salt. Don't skip that. It's excellent...

Re: Post Your Dream
I was living in Los Alamos. I lived for 25 years but moved a few years ago. Los Alamos is an out of the way town, up on a plateau, purposefully placed in an out of the way location because the nature of its origin. I haven't been back in three years since I moved. In the dream, I lived in Los Alamos...

Re: What are your thoughts and/or feelings on the possibility that conscious life is perpetuating itself through eternit
Since we're not too sure about what consciousness is, I suppose it can't be ruled out. Since we're not too clear on what time is, or if it exists fundamentally (I think that's right), can't rule it out either. Since it's an overly convenient answer to really hard questions that's unproven, I'd hesit...

Re: Science Microthreads
I felt like rambling, so I'll drop this here. When one of my kids was in sixth grade, he had to do a science fair project. He wanted to do something with gravity, specifically, demonstrate its existence outside of Earth's influence (that is, all objects have a gravitational field). This was a head s...

Re: Books & Reading Them
I haven't read fiction in awhile. When I read lately it's mostly health books. I still want to read fiction if I can find the time, but lately I've been trying to figure out how to fix myself since doctors can't seem to figure me out. I've been reading a lot less fiction lately as well. I used to t...

Re: Post Your Dream
I think I've been following this (tragic) Ukrainian situation too closely. It's not normal for me to remember dark dreams. There's a lot of fear to be had out there in the world at the moment. And as someone or some movie person said, fear is the enemy. So here's to normal, baffling, ordinary dreams.
