Yeah, I'll be doing work during summer semester, but only a few months a year

Everything I learn is fascinating to me. When I see it applied it clicks really well into my brain. Thanks.

I think his goal was always to start a conversation, not become president.

Good for you! I've never heard of headspace. That sounds like a great way to get friends into meditation.

I'll be in a bit after yes.

EDIT: I am PST, and I get off work at 9:30. So I will be in then

Optimouse  ·  3222 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Do you always like being yourself? When do you not like being yourself?

I do. I don't like being myself when I am 10, and lying to my grandpa. I don't like myself when I am 17, and failing high school because it doesn't matter. But I like being me in any present moment. I am in control of me now. I figured out I can _chose_ how to feel about something and if I regret something I just did, I don't hate myself for it. I learn from it and deal with the consequences impartially and move on.

Yes, very.

So for a device to be afffected by this, wouldn't it have to be on, unlocked, and interprate the signal? Does my phone always have a running microphone checking for certain high frequency noises? How do they implement this?

I'm a pretty good chemist but I can't really understand macroeconomics. I makes me a nauseous to read an article claiming dire futures and having no way to confirm it.
