i havent paid for one in forty years, i guess its more then £2.50 now 3.27 usd
My last "pro" haircut was the week I got out of the Navy. I think it was two bucks. And I use the term pro loosely. I'm betting the guys at the base barbershop did something else for a living once they got out.

And every meditation teacher who ever lived, it's not just a slogan, but the result of training the mind like exercise to quiet it while living in yer senses. Yer senses operate in real time cause they have to and when you are in that mode of consciousness, you live in the moment inhabiting your body more fully. Your mind torments you constantly with the past and future, it's where we do most of our suffering, in our minds. It's called default mode processing and the only way to quiet down is to get into shape by meditating. The more stress we feel, the more we default processing, worrying and ruminating. There is a coupling that develops under stress, between the evaluative and experiential networks in the brain, with regular practice this coupling diminishes and goes away, the mind becomes silent and peaceful. You can think better than ever and see yer biases easier and what really motivates you to do what you do to be happy, happiness is an end, it has no ulterior motive. Thinking about shit is brought online as require, you use your mind and are not used by it.
But what if your a masochist?

I was under the impression you gave up on one of those.
Yes, you are unfortunately correct.
I did stop bankrolling Jameson, that is true, not for me essentially because I love that shit, but for my family.
But I know it is an unhealthy lifestyle & I was pushing my liver a little too much :(
I just got back home after a Dr. appointment with whom I consider a friend and he told me, to my face, that I am a medical miracle that I'm not dead
Tell me about it
I can't fucking die :(
I've survived shit you can't imagine in my life of debauchery, but I guess it's time to chill on the booze (lost a friend last year/52/liver failure)
So yea, it was time to quit.
Oh well, it was fun
Now I just keep a pipe in my mouth for most of my waking hours to dull the pain of witnessing the insanity present in America/the World today.
Much healthier, right?

You take care my friend (PM me/I miss you :) )

Seek professional help, meditation doesn't work over those brain parts and the money on yer back resides in another location too. This is for more or less normal people, it is the best treatment for depression these days and is used in things like AA to help the guys out etc.

Meditation let's you see you own mind working and when ya can see things more clearly, you can begin to change them by making better mental habits over time. Makes ya happy and we all seek that in the end and we do all the other shit to attain it.

In historic first, all-private crew successfully launches to International Space Station

History was made Friday as the first all-private astronaut mission to the International Space Station (ISS) launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, marking a new era in commercial space exploration.

SpaceX successfully launched four civilians aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon vehicle atop a Falcon 9 rocket toward the orbiting laboratory Friday afternoon as part of aerospace company Axiom Space’s Ax-1 mission.

The mission, Axiom’s first, will be the first time an all-civilian crew docks at the space station.

Aboard the spacecraft is Axiom’s vice president of business development Michael López-Alegria, a former NASA astronaut who has flown to space four times and is the commander of the mission. He’s joined by American entrepreneur Larry Connor, former Israeli fighter pilot Eytan Stibbe and Canadian businessman Mark Pathy.

According to The Associated Press, Connor, Stibbe and Pathy each paid $55 million to participate in the mission.

The launch comes as space tourism and the commercial space industry continues to expand.

Axiom Space CEO Michael Suffredini earlier this month said the Ax-1 mission is a “precursor” to commercializing low-Earth orbit. The Houston-based startup plans to soon carry out several other commercial flights to the ISS with the goal of eventually creating the world’s first private commercial space station in orbit.

“This moment for me and my colleagues is a very special moment and the beginning of many beginnings. The launch of Ax-1 to the International Space Station is part of our journey to build the first private commercial space station and we’re so grateful to be here and delighted to be a part of this journey to commercialize low-Earth orbit,” Kam Ghaffarian, Axiom Space executive chairman, said just before liftoff.

The crew is set to dock to the space-facing port of the ISS Harmony module Saturday morning and will spend eight days conducting more than 25 scientific research and technology demonstrations, including research on self-assembling technology for satellites and space habitats, cancer stem cell research and air purification.

Wish I had $55 Million burning a hole in my pocket.
Space tourism will drive cheaper designs like single stage to orbit. Then a week in space will be under the million mark. The first Clarke/von Braun space wheel will be a hotel.

The Next Big Addiction Treatment
Several psychedelic drugs are touted as effective treatments for drug and alcohol abuse. But psilocybin combined with therapy is emerging as the most effective.
