Almost every coverage of NaNoGenMo is spun around commercial applications of prose-generating tech or the lack thereof, but nobody involved (AFAIK) sees it as a business venture. They just want to do quantitative experiments on literature.
Are there good studies on the neurochemical basis of variation in succeptibility to numinous or spiritual experiences within normal (non-clinical non-drug-induced) ranges? (I.e., not temporal lobe epilepsy)
Survivorship bias spicy take: if someone is successful enough to be notable for their success, they are rare enough that no lessons from their experience apply generally enough to make someone else successful beyond the 50% mark.

On AT&T fibre
Had to chat with an AT&T employee, as a result of an order I placed yesterday. This is the feedback I left (with minor spelling corrections), after concluding the chat:
The chat experience was excellent (chat agent, Marry). AT&T experience thus far, not quite so.
I had an AT&T sales agent visit me yesterday. I signed up for Internet 1Gbps (Internet 1000 on AT&T lingo), and phone service (transferring my current number). I have a signed form, with all one time service charges waived. The appoint … ⌘ Read more

The Uber affair
Using Uber for the first time, in France, was a delightful experience. We were able to summon a relatively cheap minivan within minutes, the drivers were nice, nothing found to complain. Then, once back home, I decided that I might want to occasionally drive for Uber, for fun. That is when the real affair started.
To begin with, the rider photo I had on my profile no longer met their requirements. Then, the driver’s application asked me for information that I did not have handy, making me chang … ⌘ Read more

Thought superconductors are impermeable to memories due to field interactions. The mind inside experiences everything in the same instant.
@contraultra it was no problem. i really need to fing out a way to make that experience better though.
