    The FDA is currently studying psilocybin therapy aimed at treating chronic low back pain

    There are research projects going on in four or five cities in the U.S., aimed at establishing psilocybin's usefulness in treating emotional issues, such as PTSD and depression. England has pursued this, possibly for longer than the projects n the U.S. For several years now, Canada has had a...

    Interesting area of Tech re: Renewable Energy sources

    As much as I personally would not wish to live in a nation with a communist government, I have to be impartial in thinking about China's assessment and utilization of gravity batteries. They are continuing with establishing more installations. China is Building Gravity Batteries History reveals...

    Study shows pot & cigarette smoking can help shrink the brain

    Won't go into this now or in this thread. But legitimate research is being conducted that supports the premise that new, and we might say mental-health promoting, neural connections can be facilitated in the brain. Before the 1980s, it was believed that this wasn't possible.

    You can only pick two.

    I immediately decided on the same. Life is mysterious. I dunno... both CallMeKate and I have been freelance magazine writers. Does this combination of dessert preference somehow go with the psychology of those in that profession?:unsure:

    Salary Needed To Live Comfortably in Major U.S. Cities

    In the last year, I've been getting to know a man who has had something like a 35-year career as a mainframe-systems problem solver with IBM Canada. He's worked from home in a small, western-Canadian city, for many if not most of his career. In my adult employment, I worked on-site in...

    Salary Needed To Live Comfortably in Major U.S. Cities

    I don't doubt the statistical analysis the mapping is based on. Personally, I've lived a satisfying life by keeping "wants" below 30% — and feeling comfortable with that. That means not always obtaining the latest, greatest, and shiniest of consumer products. Also, probably my DW and I have met...

    If a tree falls................

    When something like that happens here, it's a conifer that falls over. Usually it's one on the fringe of the thick grove to the west of our fenced area. Last time it happened, the upper portion of the tree smashed some of the deer fencing, and messed up wires on our electric (bear) fencing. No...

    What are your goals after retiring?

    Your reply makes sense. Here's wishing you complete success with that (doing things on your terms). I'd suggest finding things you enjoy doing, possibly things you never thought you'd try. By the way, what does a "factory knitter" role involve?

    U.S. pump prices and projections

    Living in Canada, many of us tend to watch certain world trends that may affect our lives. When the seven decades-old name of the American Department of Defense was changed by executive order to the Department of War, I should have decoded a clue. But I didn't. Intentions toward Iran probably...
