  I was excited to program this myself and you beat me to it!

  Thanks! This will beat doing the random draw by hand.

  Also, reading here, I get the sense that this isn’t the first time minocycline has been used to aid sober decision making.

  Scientists think the drug may clear the brain of distractions like, in this case, arousal, to improve focus for making rational decisions. And these scientists aren’t the first to show that the antibiotic has effects other than getting rid of zits. Other studies have demonstrated that minocycline can improve patients’ focus on social cues, encourage sober decision making and improve the symptoms associated with schizophrenia and depression.

  All right, where can I commit time-sensitive monetary rewards to those working on this? I’d like to see it done by next week, and I’d like to see it by about $50.

  Where do you get your jokes? I thought of this myself, but I only have a few, and I’m not sure where to find more.

  Seconded. I’d love a decent incremental reading capability.

  I watched an awesome movie, and now I’m coasting in far mode. I really like being in far mode, but is this useful? What if I don’t want to lose my awesome-movie high?

  Are there some things that far mode is especially good for? Should I be managing finances in this state? Reading a textbook? Is far mode instrumentally valuable in any way? Or should I make the unfortunate transition back to near mode?
