My congratulations to Australians for having an ISP that stands up for the interests of its customers.
I wonder if we could ever get something like that in the United States? Haha, I'm just kidding... I know we can't.
However, I wish you all the best in keeping iiNet—particularly, resisting pressure and bullying tactics from my country's government and its corporate controllers.
I think it is great that Germany is trying to be on the cutting edge of protecting the privacy of its citizens; but this looks like another example of government over-reach.
If this looks like government overreach, then why do you think it's great that Germany is trying to be on the cutting edge of protecting the privacy of its citizens?
If you mean that this particular instance is an example of government overreach, then are there any occurrences of Germany protecting its citizens' privacy that you approve of?
There are plenty of people who want to own guns for whatever reason, and value this higher than a few dead kids every now and then. "For the children" only works as an argument when it's someone else that gets hit with the direct consequences.
The same argument can be made against swimming pools, bottle caps, curtain strings, dogs, vehicles, etcetera.
Our country makes it too easy for nutcases to have guns. I, for one, would give up the right to bear arms for everyone, and not miss it.
Our country makes it too easy for those in need of medical/psychiatric treatment to be turned away.
Europe and Canada both have universal healthcare and lower rates of gun violence. My idea saves money and maintains liberty. Your idea costs money and sacrifices liberty.
Which is why the Germans used chlorine gas a weapon? It's a matter of dosage and treatment. There are a whole lists of common chemicals we can mix to create 'irritating' poisonous gasses that will kill you if you are locked in a room with them. Besides, I'm pretty sure 'irritating' is a bit of an understatement for chlorine.
Chlorine bleach + aqueous ammonia produces chloramine, not chlorine. Chloramine is used to treat municipal drinking water; it has no history as a chemical weapon.
withdrawal presents as a rapid, dysphoric return of depression symptoms—perhaps worse in intensity than their initial/untreated state?
Initially yes. I wasn't expecting it but I caught myself being very emotional and realized that must be what it was. It leveled off rather quickly. The Wiki in my OP explains how 5-HTP is able to absorb into the brain and become 5-HT or Serotonin. Interestingly 5-HT cannot be absorbed into the brain. Since Serotonin is linked to mood it makes sense an increased level would have a positive effect.

I was surprised to see that 5-HTP is categorized as a sleep-aid anda nootropic, what with the former class being generally dominated by stimulants.
I'm actually replying because I neglected to mention my main reason for speculating that the crash was fast and severe: Unlike SSRIs with their multiple-week delay before they (are supposed to) become effective, and bupropion (which has a somewhat quicker, but rather subtle effect), imipramine is profoundly effective beginning on day one. Sometimes when I get to the end of the Rx and I don't feel a sense of urgency (or I'm just unable to get to the pharmacy)... If it slips my mind during the subsequent few days, I experience a very nasty reminder—the speculative description I asked you to confirm hits me like a bolt from the blue—one second I'm fine, the next I'm tearing up and wishing for a real bolt from the blue. Once I get it again, though, its full effect is restored in less than one hour.
My apologies if my wordy anecdote lacked substance... I was skeptical of swalve's warning, and was curious if sudden cessation of a naturally-occurring dietary supplement could actually slap down a patient as hard as a severe, 60-year-old Rx.:o) Thanks for reading and for your reply.
Was there some anxiety brewing within that surpassed your threshold and required you to post a "correction"?
I hadn't formulated my own hypothesis prior to reading your post—I shall credit you, Anonymous Coward, with providing me with one, should the motivation behind comment #42222951 ever come under further scrutiny.
I noticed improvement after the very first dose [of 5-Hydroxytryptophan].
Be careful with that stuff, the crash if you miss a dose can be brutal.
I ran out 2 days ago and haven't made it to the store. And yes I have noticed.
Am I correct in speculating that the withdrawal presents as a rapid, dysphoric return of depression symptoms—perhaps worse in intensity than their initial/untreated state?
The reason I'm curious is that that is exactly what I experience following cessation of the prescribed tricyclic imipramine (Tofranil), which is—by far—the most efficacious of the numerous anti-depressants (belonging to three classes) that I've tried. The only other AD that I didn't shit-can posthaste was bupropion (Wellbutrin), an NDRI. In my experience (and as related to me by others), SSRIs are absolute garbage.
All this 'gun printing' talk is what's going to be used to help get 3dprinters banned or require a license to even buy/own. it's going to have controls slapped on it somewhere.
Stop fucking telling people that doing this shit guys. Until they are everywhere they are way easy to regulate and control.
You're not helping. serious.
Yeah, guys, quit exercising your first and second amendment rights before we're not allowed to exercise them anymore.
If [Obama] would simply allow access to his transcripts like former Presidents, we could determine for ourselves if we think he was and academic super star or a less than mediocre pass along with a record full of "INCOMPLETE" stamps.
It seems unlikely to me that Harvard Law Review would select a student with "less than mediocre" academic performance for editorship, then go on to elect that student to president. Quoth Wikipedia:
Membership in the Harvard Law Review is offered to select Harvard law students based on first-year grades and performance in a writing competition held at the end of the first year. The writing competition includes two components: an edit of an unpublished article and an analysis of a recent United States Supreme Court or Court of Appeals case. The writing competition submissions are graded blindly to assure anonymity. Fourteen editors (two from each 1L section) are selected based on a combination of their first-year grades and their competition scores. Twenty editors are selected based solely on their competition scores. The remaining editors are selected on a discretionary basis. The president of the Harvard Law Review is elected by the other editors.
Smart people do not need to work at all to achieve A or better in high school.
Not doing any work is unlikely to yield A-grades, regardless of intelligence. Further, this survey suggests that achieving A-grades is likely to burden some students with extracurricular work—i.e., immersive bully-resistance training—courtesy of less-intelligent students.

Go easy on the guy. A few months ago he was probably dressed as giant hotdog, busy handing out leaflets in a mall.
In my view, giant hotdog is a more respectable profession than TSA thug.

[T]his gunman should be burned at the stake cause lethal injection is two good for him.
So you want to respond to a monstrous act by becoming monsters ourselves? No, thank you.
Saudi Arabia and Singapore await you, if you're really that into the sick shit.

[...] A 90lb 5ft tall college girl isn't going to be able to fight off a gangrape with her strength alone, with a gun she can. [...]
and if the attacker has a gun she could be killed from a distance before she even knew there was a bad guy out to get her...
Necrophilia is pretty uncommon.

What you've describe is sadness, not depression.
In any event... try this.

They're certainly not working wonders for your mathematics aptitude. ;o)
Really, "depressed" and "depression" aren't both just forms of the word "depress"? They just happen to look alike? Wow.
GP said "feeling depressed," which is tantamount to saying "feeling cancer-ridden."

When I was your age, we took the hoods off our cars and drove them around like that.
Now get off my lawn, kid!
Any chance you drove a Gran Torino?
*deep, annoyed sigh*
Do you emit that noise with every breath, or only when someone has the audacity to criticize your beloved corporate overlord?

Well, that's better than becoming an Illinois Naz, Neo-Nazi, Soup Nai, or Original Flavor Nazi.
