    Dang, you weren’t kidding with the price of a used x220 (I have an x230 that I got for less than I’m currently seeing on ebay a while back, and the only thing that really made me switch to something newer was the screen). Maybe a newer thinkpad or an hp elitebook? I think as long as you have something newer than a 2nd Gen I series chip, there really shouldn’t be an issue if you’re basically just using it for text processing. If you start with models with ddr3 and sata drives you should be able to get very cheap replacement parts for a while yet.












  • Interesting, seems like there main hangups are that you can’t run against a placebo and that the two mdma trials they looked at was possibly biased for mdma (~40% of the participants had already tried mdma, and there was some questioning about bad experiences being discouraged from follow up) and that their focus was not on the therapy aspect of it, which they apparently don’t judge. I guess I get their reasoning, but it stills seems like a waste as mdma isn’t really that dangerous, and they could have at least recommended what needed to be changed to prove that mdma was beneficial.




  • Or you start out with folding clothes, then start putting them away, get distracted by the dishes or cleaning up the bathroom, and start on that other chore. The key is to eventually get back to the original (easier said than done), but even if you didn’t really get it done quickly, you often put yourself in the mindset of cleaning, which helps on its own.
