zigzaggy

Reminds me of the debate at my university when I tried to declare my computer as my "instrument."

"That's not REAL music." I changed schools, eventually changed majors.. but now the place that rejected my computer now has a "music technology" degree.

editing to say that music that wasn't real went on to be a massive genre - hard to put "creativity / art" in a box.

What do you think about this device? I bought an iPhone SE and dropped it onto the rug in my living room and it broke so bad it won't even come on. I'm never buying another all-glass phone again.

I checked out the specs on this phone - I'd love to hear what you think about it.

My grandfather was a "well witcher" (Appalachian roots here). Many believe that's woo woo or some kind of super power. The man was incredibly intelligent and resourceful and he had a reputation for finding water every single time he dropped the drill into the ground.

When I was a kid I used to go to sleep listening to stories of my dad and his dad driving around on a 2 ton truck with a 3 ton drill and how the brakes always went out. Somehow they always lived to tell the tale.

Haven't thought about this in a long time. Good memories.

Not GP but I also have severe reflux - I've had it years. It's been really bad lately.

In related information I've found that fortified yogurt helps not only my reflux but also improves my mood. But it never seemed to be enough to actually solve the reflux problem.

Just ordered the supplements. Truly hope this solves the problem.

Whoa I just realized that I have a hiatal hernia too. I didn't realize that's what that was. I hope this is a day of solutions!

My personal opinion (backed up with a certain amount of experience) is that much of these suicides are due to a soldier being traumatized, then coming home to try to cope with trauma responses. Some then turn to drowning the trauma with alcohol and other bad stuff. That's when the spiral really accelerates.

Unfortunately the stigma you mentioned feels so much worse when someone also hates themselves. They don't recognize the stigma for what it is and start believing they don't deserve to get better.

And yes this seems to be a huge problem across humanity. Overdoses and suicides are at historically high levels. And celebrities with tremendous resources still suffer the same way. Which tells me the technology just isn't there.

I think this is a valuable contribution to this conversation. You have shown how drones are definitely being used in critical situations. I can't see why you're being downvoted. I always try to support comments that are being downvoted for the wrong reasons (in terms of the HN rules).

I don't see an email address in your bio, can you add some contact information? Or at least come back here and post where you listed the site maybe?

Thanks!
