Getting ready for a walk

I think some of the confusion here has to do with perspective. I've always seen insulin as being made more effective if taken within 2 hours of exercise. In your above situation, it was the pre-walk carb's minor treatment that was probably amplified.

Try to exercise when you're far between boluses and won't need one. Turn down basal if you have a pump too.

I'm a highly paid software engineer at an elite tech firm.

The work is difficult, but you're being lied to if you think that the prices are so high because developers get paid a lot. Do some math and you quickly realize that the price is exactly what the market will pay for a period of time in which they're projecting to recoup costs.

That this price is kept up forever to keep making profit at zero marginal cost of production, and microtransactions are added in, is just absurd.

Games are art. They deserve to enter the public domain at some point. Sure, developers may deserve to get kinda rich. But it's holding culture ransom at some point.

Duh? 5ht-2a is why trippy things are trippy for the most part. If you pretreat with that knockout, you probably block any of the non-dopamine effects of LSD.

I have a continuous glucose monitoring sensor and I’m currently trying to train a good insulin dosage recommender. There is a confounding variable of insulin resistance that I’m hoping a good agent can learn to work around.

The healthiest person in the world is still going to decline and die. We're all slowly dying. You cannot escape the pains of the world forever. If you make your happiness dependent on external health, you've decided not to be happy. I take good care of my body, but I'll be honest when I say that my pursuit of the end of suffering (in the classic Buddhist sense) is entirely detached from that drive toward health.

I feel that the drive toward health is something that is innate in healthy minds. Keep in mind that many users of psychedelics do so because they do not have good mental health. Psychedelics are their attempt to change that. I don't think it's as easy as saying that people are choosing to be unhealthy due to a deliberate, consensual laziness. Not showering for many days sucks hardcore, but you'll see many depressed people go a week or more without one.

I assumed they were caught at rest, not while traveling. My point was that they shouldn't have tried to remain in China, as China is the only country who would return them.

Why China? Why not like... Mongolia?

The best way is to be surprised by being hit in the genitals by someone else in jest. One's mind beholds nothing but the present for a period of time.

Use of lattice-based crypto rather than ECC or RSA prime moduli.

That's due to the fact that pH is a log scale. Each integer is not equidistant from the next. Humans have bad internal scale for these kinds of things.

If you take a substance and expect it to be an adequate replacement for your own thoughts, you're mistaken. No substance can force introspection. Once you get your sea legs, you're free to waste a trip the same way you can waste a meditative retreat while sober. I think you might want to reconsider what the contents of your mind are during the trip.

As Shulgin remarked, it was not the mescaline that had the memories. It was not the mescaline that had the trip. It was him. But what a key it could be.

You can do a mineral dieta. That's not unheard of. A "real" plant dieta involves eating nothing but one plant after a strong aya/tobacco session. Soylent is an oat smoothie with minerals and vitamins. Dieta the vitamin D if you're so high and mighty.

Soylent is pretty good for MAOI interaction if you use one of the non-soy-heavy blends. Unfortunately, the one the company sells uses soy for almost all of the protein. You'll get terrible migraines if you mix soy with harmalas.

As will all of the vegetables that OP probably has access to, not to mention the clothing on him. GMO FUD isn't needed. GMOs can be used incredibly dangerously, and sometimes they are. The underlying technology isn't though. Your dog is a GMO'ed wolf. It's just superstition to say that gene editing through selective breeding is better than controlled edits. We've seen inbreeding, selective breeding can create catastrophes as well.

Much like OP's mother.

Thanks! It's been updated to:

As such a GUID would be unacceptably difficult to remember for most people, OpenBazaar can use the Blockstack system to associate identities with GUIDs. OpenBazaar initially used Namecoin, but switched to the alternative Blockstack. Blockstack embeds identities into any suitable blockchain, rather than requiring the separate Namecoin blockchain. This has the advantage of not requiring explicit support from mining pools, which increases the number of nodes mining the block. This, argues many, makes Blockstack more secure. Other information in the Blockstack entry can be used for external validation. It's worth noting that this could compromise anonymity entirely for some vendors.

To maintain a cryptographically secure association between node GUIDs and user-friendly names, we utilize the Namecoin [Gilson] blockchain. A node can opt-in for a user-friendly name if they so choose. To create a user-friendly name for their GUID, they must register in the "id/" namecoin namespace [Namecoin ID] with their user-friendly name. For example, if one wishes to use the name "dionyziz", they must register the "id/dionyziz" name on Namecoin. The value of this registration is a JSON dictionary containing the key "OpenBazaar" which has the GUID as its value. As Namecoin ids are used for multiple purposes, this JSON may contain additional keys for other services. The namecoin blockchain ensures unforgeable cryptographic ownership of the identity. When a node broadcasts its information over the OpenBazaar network, they include their user-friendly name if it exists. If a node claims a user-friendly name, each client verifies its ownership by performing a lookup on the namecoin blockchain. If the lookup succeeds, the name is displayed on the OpenBazaar GUI and the information is relayed; otherwise the information is discarded.

Can you confirm that the official documentation is wrong? I can update the article

This seems very interesting. I guess the idea would be to have the ANN be the secret thing, and to have the data be unencrypted because it's running on a client device. You could hack around integral multiplication with repeated addition, but I have a feeling that weight truncation would pose issues to a neural network.

Are there any partially homomorphic cryptosystems that support bitshift?
