Generally speaking.... several of them were guilty

Just come back from Kingston - looks like the river banks are going to burst there tonight, by the looks of things - the river level is nearly hitting the roads.

In other news, I now have a cold. Great.

How are the river banks bursting? Did you go for a swim.

Yup, the river banks have burst in Kingston, Staines, Sunbury, Weybridge, Walton, and so on. Afraid my swimming skills are sorely rubbish these days, so no free swimathon for me!

All those banks! You must be Huge.

i was pickling some overripe peaches in booze

i didn't have enough vodka so i reached under the kitchen sink for the bottle of everclear (95% alcohol)

i used up the bottle on the peaches (and mixed in some water)

so then like a goofy child i say to my wife "hey you wanna see some science experiment?

i put the *empty* bottle sideways, pointing a little down actually (so the drops of booze would trickle to the mouth) i bring a lighter to the mouth and WOOOOOOOSH

a blue fucking JET of fire shoots out of the *empty* bottle like a rocket

i was expecting just a fucking "woosh"! but no-- BLUE ROCKET!!! like a fucking blowtorch.

the jet seared 2 of my fucking fingers! motherfucker!

it totally crisped the outside skin. luckily in spite of the superhigh temps the total quantity of heat wasn't too much and i was next to the sink (cold water) and while the outer skin was crispy i don't have any necrotic tissue (yet…! fingers crossed--- no, fingers bandaged, dammit. )

but it's starting to hurt a bit. fucking fingers are swollen!

son of 20,000 !@#!@$!

this is rocket fuel

children: look at the fucking idiot and learn. *don't* play with fire.

net neutrality lives to fight another day

“This is no more a plan to regulate the Internet than the First Amendment is a plan to regulate free speech,” said FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler. “They both stand for the same concept: openness, expression and an absence of gatekeepers telling them what they can do, where they can go and what they can think.”

(of course internet providers plan to challenge this in court)

so. winter is here! brain hacking time.

my first focus: serotonin and how to increase it

the plan so far:
1) more light
2) more exercise
3) more massage
4) dwell on good things not on gloom
additionally, for extra safety:
5) diet (oats/whey/garbanzo/etc) = increased tryptophan -> serotonin -> melatonin (sleep) (even though dietary tryptophan doesn’t show increased serotonin, i’ll double down on it in case it’s a question of margins)

[!@#$%!]

once the serotonin baseline has been established it’s time to work on the dopamine increase.

because low serotonin causes dopamine-seeking behavior (i.e. addiction).

however, naturally increased dopamine on a firm bed of serotonin = good cheer & motivation

looks like tyrosine is the key aminoacid here, plus some activities...

[!@#$%!]

fuck, i made the mistake of going to the beginning of this thread.

serotonin = 0, dopamine = negative

let’s reboot...

Not sure what's gong on chemically, but tyrosine and caffeine blend has been a nice way to start my day. (Need to switch from coffee to green tea, tho)
