The Unbearable Irony of Meditation Apps

The Unbearable Irony of Meditation Apps
“Do nothing for 15 seconds.” Do nothing for 15 seconds! I cracked up. I’d already been doing nothing for 15 minutes. "Doing nothing" is pretty much my raison d'être when I pick up my iPad.

Change the smell of rosewater? Or similar alternative?

By    22:16 // No comments

I'm slowly transitioning to more natural products and I bought some rosewater as it is meant to be good for your skin.

Now I do like the way it makes my skin feel, but I hate the smell of it. It's not that I got bad rosewater, I just really dislike the smell of rose. Probably should have considered this before I bought rosewater but hey ho.

Would putting some sort of essential oil in be a good idea and maybe tone down the rose smell? Or does anyone have any other ideas of hydrating sprays?

@HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS: What is a (relatively simple) product that would make your lives easier?

By    20:42 // No comments

I'm an undergraduate student in a Biomedical Engineering program, currently taking a year-long senior design course. The main idea for the design project is to think of, design and build a prototype of a medical product. Past successful projects generally:

  1. Address a real-world unmet need that ideally involves the design or redesign of a FDA-regulated product.
  2. Involve an idea/concept/design that is relatively simple.

The best way I can see to do this is to see what there is a need for from actual health care professionals! So, calling all doctors, nurses, PAs, PTs, and other health care workers on Reddit: what is a relatively simple product that would make your lives or your patients' lives easier?

The summer before I turn eighteen, I fly back to the country of my birth because that is what you do when you’re Armenian. You watch the capital city of Yerevan appear from outside your dark airplane window and you lean back into your seat as your mother reaches across your body to put her palm over the pane in desperation.

Looks like the Bronze plan will cost my family of 3 $900 a month with a 14k family deductible. It would seem to me this will kill the middle class small business owners who pay their own way. Is there anything I can do to better my soon to be coverage costs? I'm in Idaho. Thank you.

My guess is that if you have allowed your mind to be as tyrannized by the demands of your devices as I have, you too suffer to some degree from this condition.

Please help me convince my friend that this school is a bad idea

By    20:42 // No comments

Hi all,

My friend has a B.S. in Biology (Molecular Biology), and a M.S. in Public Health from LECOM (a D.O. Medical school)...

I fell out of contact with her for about a year and we recently reconnected... she told me she is leaving this area next week to attend a school in Oregon called National University of Natural Medicine for another masters degree in global health.

I just can't find any reason why this is a good idea for her. It seems to me like getting another masters degree isn't very useful for her, and especially another masters degree in almost the same thing as her first one. I can't even find any legitimate accreditations for this school either. The school has changed its name a few times in the past decade or so, and just seems really sketchy in general.

I care about this girl very much. Am I wrong in thinking this is just a waste of a lot of money and time? She wants to eventually work in health administration and stuff like that... maybe for non profits, etc.

I just really want the best for her. If any of you think what she's doing is a good idea and I'm off base here, please let me know. If you think it's a waste of money, please help me figure out how to convince her of that.

Thank you!

Yeah, "Enter Sandman" is a metal classic. But it's just a few distortion settings and a tempo change away from also being a pop-punk masterpiece, a jazz standard and a trap club banger.
