If your agency is following regs, you won't be able to use it in a government computer.  :P

You know what I'd like to see. A site that examines alternative medicine neutrally and scientifically.
Googling for that stuff there's endless scientific looking sites selling the mumbo jumbo side <_<

And the 2018 fundraising shit is starting. Josh Mandel(R-Retard) is hitting me up hard for a donation in his upcoming fight against Sherrod Brown(D-Dipshit)

Anger rising.

Why get angry?  It is a very simple matter of saying no.

Amazing how much of a mess it is even in this prestige location.
And not a mess in the way its a mess now. A pre civilization rather than a post civilization mess

:huh:
It looks entirely normal.

Actually, it looks almost exactly the same today except for the embankment, construction of which would already have started in 1880.

I find the Skeptic's Guide is a decent enough starting place: http://www.theskepticsguide.org/news

Stop using "alternative medicine" and "scientifically" in the same sentence.  They are mutually exclusive terms.

No.
On one extreme is obvious nonsense like homeopathy.
On the other is herbal remedies for stomach aches and the like. Some of which have some validity.

If it's proven to work then it's not really "alternative", now is it, Kellyanne?  Stop being a gypsy bag of beets.

Again no. Lots of scope between OMG super miracle cure that the doctors are mysteriously keeping hidden and hippy nonsense.
Yet I only ever seem to see one or the other.

Will check the site Syt thanks.

If there's an old remedy that works big pharmacy has already put it in pill form. You can chew willow bark, or just take an aspirin.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
