Why do I get the impression that someone (not referring to you Edwin!) doesn't understand what the Ganzfeld Effect is... ? I've got Ganzfeld Effect goggles that can also provide color-therapy (much better than the super cheap option of putting half a ping-pong ball over each eye). You use them with your eyes open and they can't find anything to focus on so they (your eyes) will actually turn off after a short while and all you see is a light grey. This gives them a nice rest! After a session, when your eyes return to normal, everything is much clearer, brighter and more in focus! Remarkably so! Contrary to popular belief, your eyes don't get the same rest during sleep because they don't know the difference between the waking state and dreaming. They will still follow objects they think they are seeing (hence the term Rapid Eye Movement or REM sleep). I also have a couple of devices you can wear at night that will detect the REM state and can signal you inside your sleep to let you know you are dreaming (these are used to learn to induce lucid dreaming which is beyond awesome!). THESE are the kinds of fun things I worked on a PhD for! ?

The newer version just says... If you answered no, feel free to just come on in!

Can't stop LMAO at this! ? Reminds me exactly of a Yorkshire friend of mine (who's in his 50's)! ?

Bauhaus - Telegram Sam

Reminds me of that old one: 'If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?" ?

I was in a bookstore the other day when a lady asked where the Self-Help section was and I thought "Doesn't that defeat the purpose?" ?

Woody Guthrie - Alice's Restaurant

Probably because you're getting the dirty stuff they give you at clubs Nigel! ?

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Refugee

I only use medical grade magic acid. ?

(Just kidding! ? ) Bobby Vinton - Blue Velvet

That victory strut at the end though! ?

I'm actually writing apps that interact with AI (we had a demo meeting last night). My motto is "Combating RS with AI!" ?

Are those for real? Or are they just pretending? ? ?

If I had a gaming addiction before, it's certainly been cured! ?

Um, hate to be the one to break it to you Bob, but you do post here... ?? ?

That guy IS going to be dinner! You're just seeing Ubear Delivery. ?

TBF, it doesn't take much in here! ?

Back when I was a DJ (1980-1983), I used to play both the English and German versions of that song. ? Now that I think about it, China should have made their balloon red, ya? ? ?

Not around here! Sure, the prices got very stupid, but there literally weren't any cards available at any price for awhile. When I was doing IT Consulting, we had customers that needed high-end cards (they would map how smoke flows through a building among other cool projects), but we couldn't find cards at all. One day I was at Best Buy around 2pm and there was a crowd lining a wall outside as if waiting for concert tickets to go on sale. When I asked what they were doing, I was told they were camping out to be first in line for some cards that were coming in the next morning! Crazy! ?

You mean like "Everyone is plotting against you! But it doesn't really matter since the world will be ending soon anyway!!!"??? ?

Hey! It's a Jim sighting! ? Hey Jim, is the availability of video cards suitable for gaming and other high-end usage gotten any better?
