Then your device has something not covered by that software and needs something that will probe deeper and can deal with more serious malware. Adwcleaner deals with browser hijackers, which is what I thought it might. Your problem is probably at the system level.

I've been summoned for a roundtable discussion for my municipality.
StringJunky replied to Elite Engineer's topic in Politics
Opiate/opioid addicts are in a constant on-off state of withdrawal depending on supply frequency and will use whatever is available to deal with the withdrawal at any given time just to avoid the symptoms. This is basically an addict's life and MO. In my experience they are generally polydrug users with emphasis on the analgesics. The great bulk of addiction is psychological. Just because I say that doesn't mean that it's trivial to deal with. It took me two years of professional help and I wasn't addicted to opiates; My thing was amphetamine primarily. The physical addiction side of opiate addiction takes two weeks of abstinence for the body to readjust but the behaviourally habitual element is far more deeply ingrained. The first step has to come from within the addict themselves otherwise it's a waste of time. -

If it happens in the context of government business, I would call it internal oversight rather than loss of 'personal' privacy. It's quite normal business practice to monitor employee behaviour when they are working. The intelligence and law enforcement agencies are the direct monitoring equivalent within the sphere of national government.

I default to showing goodwill. I will let people pass, rather than push my way through, as a general principle. Where I live, people around me in the street or on the road are pretty congenial and generally show common courtesies like holding the door open or letting me cross the road if traffic's not going too fast. We can legally jaywalk in the UK, can't we, which the Americans can't, apparently. Yes, I think it does make life easier when you give and go with the flow. If you give out selfish karma that's what you will get in return and that magnifies when that is the national attitude.

Because they are not packed in it for long enough to cause a problem.

The glass is half-full with people you know and half-empty with those you don't because those you don't know are holding you back/getting in the way of your life.

If it happens again, don't write anything more in the box, refresh the page and click back in the box. Look in the bottom left of the box and you might get the option to restore it by clicking the restore link which is the same place. The software autosaves what you write, updating about every minute or two.

I suppose it is meant with respect to those drugs that affect the same receptors as natural opiates. -
Picture yourself as a 2d object (flat), with no altitude, on a spherical plane. Does that help? The idea is simply to show what an unbounded but finite space can look like.

You need to put some notes with the vid mate.

I don't think we have that kind of problem here with Schedule 2 drugs (Schedule 1 have no known medicinal use except in research) as they are controlled by primary care trusts - private entities have to go through them as well - and the traceability and authorisation process is very rigid. You can only get a month's worth at a time save exceptional circumstances. i think this is one advantage of a nationally-controlled health service; better control and traceability -

I can't understand how it's so prevalent since it was designed for a very specific niche; as a breakthrough pain-reliever for patients, usually terminal cancer-patients, on long-term morphine and other potent analgesics where addiction was not considered an issue given that their life expectancy was likely to be relatively short. Basically you had to have an already high tolerance to have them. I understand it' s used just after an operation as well. -
drug-induced schizophrenia
StringJunky replied to tkadm30's topic in Anatomy, Physiology and Neuroscience
I know, I had to take some kind of depressant to make me sleep otherwise I was heading for psychosis. There will be other things going on as it affects most parts of the body in some way. -

I think mental exhaustion from being awake too long and for too often , and being a dopamine agonist is the key to amphetamine hallucinations. -
My first thought was vasoconstriction but I can't find anything of substance to support it.

Audio and visual halucination with pain
StringJunky replied to DrP's topic in Psychiatry and Psychology
I think it's quite common for our brains to turn what we experience into a metaphorical narrative in certain stages of rest and sleep. I think it's trying to make the data it receives into something tangible based on what's in its memories at the time because the necessary external sensors - ears and eyes - have been cut off or diverted and those parts of those neural circuits been reassigned for dreaming. It's a bit like pareidolia where the brain will turn random shapes or arrangements into something it recognises. -
It'll just teach violent bullies where the cross-over point is and they'll perhaps modify their behaviour so as not to get caught but their victims still suffer. Persistent violence of a mental nature is just as bad as physical; it is unseen and pernicious. You can hurt people by saying absolutely nothing, by maintaining a torturous state of incommunicado whilst present. I went through this particular type of bullying by a stepfather between the ages of 7 and 15. Domestic violence has many forms.

There are mirrors now that are designed to intelligently distort to correct air-density variations which can cause imaging irregularities. Maybe you could look into how they are supported. I can't remember what that technique is called. Edit: Adaptive optics

You would expect it to affect other melanin-populated areas as well; eyes, skin.

You are making greater leaps of imagination than the scientists are suggesting. Even if this holographic theory holds water we'll still be 'real', to us, which is a rabbit-hole you don't want to go down when thinking about what reality is. It doesn't prove anything, it's a line of investigation they following which seems promising to them; it's a work-in-progress.

Doesn't surprise me.
