Pika, in Do you disable notifications for all your apps?

I allow notifications on everything but games unless they have ruined it for themselves otherwise or have a valid reason to exist such as a war game that is alerting you you are being attacked.

badbytes, in What companies have made your blacklist?

T-Mobile was pretty awful, and stuck me a big cancellation fee when I left. I had been with them for +15yrs. Never would i return

mycatiskai, in Anyone else no longer remember snoozing their alarm?

Sleep cycles are approximately 90 minutes. Try to time your alarms close to one of these windows of time when a cycle is ending.

You will have a much easier time waking up before you drop into deep sleep, you likely be less groggy as well.

I feel all sorts of things seemingly in my brain but I am 99% sure they’re not the brain itself.

Headaches often feel like they are in my frontal lobe, but I’ve also gotten other kinds that feel like they are located in the back of the brain.

When I smoke weed, my brain feels like it is relaxing and sagging, leaning against the back of my forehead as it chills. My friend often referred to this as “Frankenstein Head” and I’ve always felt that was pretty apt.

If I stand up too fast (being a tall motherfucker), my brain feels like someone poured pop-rocks into my skull for a moment. I also see multicolored dots and swirls in my vision.

When I get brain freeze, well… That’s pretty self explanatory.

If someone was to tickle my back, stomach or nibble my ears, I get an electric tingle throughout my entire nervous system, including in the brain. It feels like being static shocked all over, but in a good way? A “pleasurable electrocution” is the only way to describe it.

ShittyBeatlesFCPres, in Do you disable notifications for all your apps?

I’m not as strict as some people here but I rarely blanket allow notifications and I aggressively manage the settings. Like I allow some apps to show temporary banners if I’m using the phone but don’t allow badges or access to the Notification Center or Lock Screen (or my watch). And I’ll occasionally allow an app like DoorDash that has in-app notification settings where you can turn off non-essential ones.

Basically, I treat my Notification Center as a place for time-sensitive, actionable alerts. If an app can’t stick to that, I’ll either kill notifications for it or dive into the settings.

I also use Focuses (foci?) to limit things to just essentials (like messaging, phone, etc.) further if I’m working or at dinner or something. Like my “At Work” focus lets through work emails and essential Teams chats.

Kolanaki, (edited ) in American English slang question
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

Jay is more than likely a person, because I don’t think the kids are trying to bring back the old slang “jay” which was a somewhat derogatory term meaning “rube” given the context here.

Davel23,

a somewhat derogatory term meaning “rube”

Also where the term "jaywalking" comes from.

garbagebagel,

TIL the word rube

SendMePhotos, in Can anyone else feel sensations in their brain?

I get a specific feeling in my head when I’m about to start a panic or anxiety attack. It’s at that moment where I can usually just like… Take a breath, relax, and try to avoid the issue calling it or I succumb and deal with it. I get the warning feeling in my brain though.

In other physical things, I can slow down or accelerate my heartbeat on demand and I’ve shown my SO when we were messing with a heart rate monitor. I can also make my heartbeat skip on demand but stopped that after I scared the shit out of an ex when I showed them. Also the doctor told me don’t do that anymore after I told her it was a thing.

weeeeum, in What are some cool things you can do with Shortcuts on iOS?

Trying out android. I forgot the instructions but it’s something to do with trygalaxy.com, shortcutting it and opening it. It gives you an android interface with home screen and apps. It’s really damn trippy and pretty cool.

weeeeum, in How many tabs do you have open?

It fluctuates as I’m researching a topic to me snapping out of it and realizing “damn that’s a lot of tabs” and closing pretty much all of them.

So it usually goes from around 30 or something, down to 3 or 5 and it repeats.

On my phone I do actually have 1,500 since my browser opens another one everytime I use search on the home screen

Coreidan, in Anyone else no longer remember snoozing their alarm?

I go to sleep the same time every night and my alarm is set for the same time every day. My body is so used to this routine that vast majority of the time I wake up right before my alarm goes off. Regardless of how I feel I always get up. The longer I do this the easier it is for me.

The times where I actually need an alarm is when I am doing something out of the ordinary, like staying up late.

If you have issues waking up on time then maybe it has something to do with your routine. My body seems to work a lot better when I am in a routine. If you’re always goes to sleep at different times each night then that will break any routine.

tiredofsametab, in How many tabs do you have open?

16, counting this one that I'm about to close.

LeadSeason, in How many tabs do you have open?

5k tabs
SPd1wPOCpxgWVCF
At 1k tabs firefox was snappy and responsive, but at 5k tabs it was bad, very unstable, buggy and sluggish.
Firefox would crash often even doing simple tasks, some times it took 2 or 3 tries to open firefox. scrolling through all the tabs a couple of minutes.
But all good things must come to an end. Now I close any extra tabs, have 5 - 30 tabs open.

257m,

Who are you so wise in the ways of tabs?

Legitimate question - just how do you accumulate 5K tabs? Did you just never close any tabs, like ever?

LeadSeason,

Something like that. At first I opened tabs for ”This sounds interesting I will read / watch it later” or ”I’ll probably need it later” This got me to ~300 - 800 tabs but then it became a joke, I just left tabs open knowing full well where not needed. Some times keeping all tabs open payed off like, using the search feature to find back to a project I left off. This happened very rarely.

intensely_human, in How do I stop my cats from eating my plants?

Buy some cat grass so they can eat that instead of your other plants.

Kouran,

I will try that! Anything to appease their sudden herbivorous appetite.
