For anyone interested in learning anything...

  1. Thanks for the post! I'm going to have to check the stuff out :)
     
  2. Can any of the MIT courses help me grow and breed plants?
     
  3. i really appreciate this post i find it really hard to find websites like these...
     
  4. Has anyone (who does not have asthma) taken a hit from someones inhaler before smoking? I was questioning it in my mind as if it would allow you to get higher. Because the drug Albuterol in the inhaler increases airflow to the lungs and allows for better oxygen absorption. So i figure better THC absorption as well.

    If you have done it did you notice any difference?
     
  5. Subscribed, thanks.
     
  6. Brilliant. Downloading the 1500page Physics pdf. Watching the MIT courseware lectures on Biology. Going to dwelve deep into this. :bongin:
     
  7. Sooooooo dope, I can't wait to jump into this stuff. :D
     
  8. We're forgetting the plethora of information on youtube.

  10. It was a great post. You can not make a service more valuable than encouraging the pursuit of knowledge. Looking at all these messages, people say they are actually taking this advice and learning. Very impressive place I say.
     
  11. This site has a TON of documentaries covering a bunch of different subjects.

    And oh shit! Carl Sagan comin at you again!
