lyam23, in What are your best Sleep tips and hacks?

Cut back on caffeine; don’t drink it past noon.

Go to bed at the same time every night.

Keep your room cool and dark.

When you get in bed, turn the light off and go to sleep. Don’t read or watch videos in bed.

Chamomile and Valerian root teas are magic.

If you suffer from anxiety, find and utilize healthy coping mechanisms to reduce it. Meditation can be helpful.

I usually fall asleep within 5 to 10 minutes, and sleep 7.5 to 8.5 hours most nights.

I usually put on one of darkness prevails compilation videos from YouTube. The dude is a prolific poster and has probably hundreds of five plus hour long videos which are just audio with a screenshot for the video. I don’t even particularly care about the spooky scary stories or creepypasta or whatever the hell it’s called, but something about that dude’s voice and the way he reads those stories just knocks me out. Although I can’t recommend it for everybody because it could end up giving you really fucked up dreams.

Billy Joel - She’s Always a Woman

She hides like a child but she’s always a woman to me == a weasel-woman to me

DelightfullyDivisive, in What are your ear buds cleaning rituals?

I tap them and blow on them before I put them back into their case. In case there are any little ear wax flakes. I don’t tend to have much in the way out of ear wax.

recapitated,

You are lucky. I have wax on tap.

Insig, in What's the funniest mishearing of song lyrics you've had?

José Feliciano - Feliz Navidad.

Sounds like he is saying ‘release mum and dad.’ interlace with him singing ‘I want to wish you a merry christmas’

I was in stitches at the dinner table when I heard it. Trying to tell my brother while crying and hyperventilating with laughter made it even better.

MIDItheKID,

I hear this song in my head every time I see a “for lease” sign…

For lease navidad.

Kalkaline, in Texans, what's the attitude/feelings/preparations towards the coming freezing weather?

I don’t have solar power, so the lights might still go out, but I still have a natural gas heater so I’m probably fine. I’m hoping we can keep the roads clear because I don’t want to use PTO until I can enjoy my time off.

PizzasDontWearCapes,

Natural gas furnaces still need electricity to run the blower and exhaust fans

Kalkaline,
@Kalkaline@leminal.space avatar

Neat, my heater is literally a gas burner on the wall, so it will work without electricity.

someguy3, (edited )

The pumps for the natural gas grid won’t be powered though. Now the question is if those have what I assume would be massive generators along the grid, which I doubt.

Squizzy, in What are your ear buds cleaning rituals?

I put them in their case and don’t think about them again until I go to put them in my ear

mvirts,

I look at them before putting them in my ear, think about how I need to clean them, then forget as soon as I put them in 😹

bionicjoey,

The buds forget how dirty they are by the next time they come out

rsh,

Wait…there are people that clean their earbuds?

scytale, in Texans, what's the attitude/feelings/preparations towards the coming freezing weather?

Fairly more optimistic than the previous years because there’s no rain in the forecast this time. Freezing is more manageable if there’s no ice everywhere. Of course there’s still the danger of pipes bursting because of lack of winterization. Then the most obvious, the fear of losing power.

Back nearly 20 years ago Disney California Adventure (Anaheim, Cali) had this interactive exhibit where you did various things in line with the Disney animated kids movies. One was playing the Seven Dwarfs “Heigh ho, heigh ho, it’s off to work we go…”

In a little alcove in front of a group of friends was another group of cute mid-teen little Latino girls. They were dressed somewhat provocatively for the average Disney guest and all were wearing bold makeup, (not judging, but they stood out). The typical Spanish accent was prevalent with the silent “h”. Their innocent rendition as they sang along was hilarious. Happy as they could be they were singing, “I hoe, I hoe, it’s off to work we go…”

Winterize the camper. Maybe drip my pipes

I use a q-tip with a little bit of alcohol on it. Rub very carefully over the speaker part. I remove the flexible earpiece part and just rinse that out in the sink. I usually do it once a week because my ears get kind of waxy.

Cold dark room to Lower your temperature and block visual stimuli, eye covers work wonders where not possible, also help once you’re used to do naps on hard workout days.

Melatonin on days I stay half awake for over 30 mins after lights off, usually a small biye off a 10 mg helps conciliate sleep.

Happy toughts, no crazy killing TV series reading drama or action stuff sets you up for decent natural occurring dreams.

Eat at least 2 hrs before going to bed so I’m not having hard digestion competing with brain cycles, light dinners and green veggies help get you all the magnesium to rest well.

Ultimately we’re routine animals, sleep in my own bed, at the same time is the basic. Do it and force you to get to sleep on time and your body will pay you back with excellent recovery and a sharp mind.

Even with all of this I’m thinking to start trying relaxation mushrooms to Kickstart the cycle.

Sweet dreams!

pendulous, in If you could go back in time and stop any one person or group's musical career, who or what would it be?

Can I pick a midpoint in his career? If so I would pick Coldplay after Viva la Vida. Otherwise, The B-52s
