So in order to get away from elitists, he moves to VAIL hahah.


Where "the singer is in the process of developing four houses on his 40 acres of property."


Given he has been a longtime libertarian/GOP, he probably is using elitists as a euphemism for liberals. And, he isn't wrong about Vail in that sense.


To both parent commenters, my wife has been on venlafaxine for years, and has been tapering off it for the past year. She has had horrible withdrawl symptoms from missing a single dose, like you describe. Each time the doses town (tapering), she has a rough few weeks.

How long were you on it? Do you have any advice? Thanks.


That sounds pretty harsh. Did your wife talk to her doctor about the withdrawal symptoms?

When I quit, I've taken it for about two years. I was able to prevent the brain zaps by making a concious effort to not move my head or eyes too fast. The other symptoms persisted for some weeks-months.


She did, she's had several doctors throughout her medication, one of them seemed very ignorant of the side effects. Thanks for responding.


Have her ask her doctor for a prescription to Prozac. It lasts longer in the system than Venlafaxine so it eases the withdrawal.


Interesting, she has been offered that but hasnt tried it yet. thanks for the advice.

I believe that the housing market in Medford and union Sq for years has been inflated on the speculation of the green line exrension. For years it was taken as a given. Has the Market declined since it came to light that the estimates were off, and the project cancelled ? I imagine a lot of people will lose money over this.


Its not canceled yet..Just scaled back. Though I think the City of Somerville took some property in union square to make it work.


I also grew up in the area and am always suprised when I hear people describe th climate in NH as the parent commenter. People do kinda keep to themselves, especially the ones who go back many generations. But the libertarian types seem to me to come from other places, attracted to NH because of the motto and the reputation, which Im not sure it really deserves. Its a pretty typical rural northeast place culturally, very close to VT or upstate NY (places I have also lived).


(Claremonter;) I had felt that our libertarian influence is equalized by the constant Massachusetts immigration.


Or Connecticut. I grew up in Acworth and I remember one of the roads in Charlestown on my way down to school was called "Connecticut Heights". Always made me chuckle.


People are also moving to NH for the free state project[1].

When I went to college over that way, it wasn't a huge shift from the part of western Maine that I came from, either. At least the locals, anyway - there was quite a bit of culture shock dealing with my fellow classmates, who certainly were cut from a different cloth. Hanover has some of that "get up in everybody else's business" vibe, but outside of that bubble, it's a lovely area.


Id also take you up on this. I have been doing data visualization using webgl, and developing a library. I'd love to see what i can make with this data.


Here we go! Also for anyone else who's interested in helping to fund these experiments.

As long as they are primarily working off the new tools, can be published/shared openly, and within $500 to $5k, then let's see what we can come up with!


I am using yourkit (java swing apps) and finding it very powerful and useful in finding memory leaks, tracking down tough bugs. Which do you prefer? What type of apps to you develop? Im curious about profiling android apps, havent looked into if this is possible with yourkit.


I've heard great things about YourKit but their web presence is amateurish.

The jProfiler site seems much more professional and informative. I can't help but wonder if that extends to the product and support as well.

The pricing, at least for single per-seat licensing, is almost identical.

I primarily develop server side applications and would really like to get a better insight into how that code is performing.

All of the reviews I have seen are pretty old and it seems both products have been heavily updated recently.

Why did you choose YourKit? Have you compared it with jProfiler?


From the link: "The Island of California refers to a long-held European misconception, dating from the 16th century, that California was not part of mainland North America but rather a large island "


I believe tnuc's smiley face denoted sarcasm.


Dan Carlin pointed this out on his podcast days after it happened. Not surprising to those paying attention, yet amazing how these guys can slip up and only a few notice.


The risk for foreigners is the same when you consider the US gov sharing intelligence with other governments.


I wouldn't say it is the same. It would only be the same if all the governments shared everything they know, and I doubt that is the case.


Its more complicated than that, in fact. The likelihood of the US sharing data about a Saudi citizen and the Saudi gov acting against said citizen is less than than the likelihood of the us acting against a US citizen. But the consiquences are far worse for a Saudi. So the risk could in fact be higher. But you're right, we dont know what the US shares.
