The last two steps are the easiest. And the most fun. And I know people think, if you eat ass you'll get some disease and get sick. Well I'm an old "apple polisher", and a case could be made that I'm a sick person (!) but, I have never had any problems from it. In fact in some ways, on some people, it's probably the cleanest part of the body. I have not ever experienced anything unpleasant about going down "down there."
then you find out the power went out, and your boomer habit of using a normal AC powered alarm clock (so you can keep your phone away from your bed to improve sleep quality) just bit you in the fucking ass
mine has a backup- it’s a coin cell to keep the time saved, not to run the alarm.
i’m sure true rechargeable battery clocks exist that would further solve this problem if I bought one; but that would both require effort to find a good one, and also run against my other boomer habit: being a fucking tightwad lmao
Just keeps me from using the damn thing. Whenever you’re in bed you should be sleeping, your brain gets accustomed to that habit of lay down = sleep.
If you have your phone there while laying in bed and decide to pick it up to scroll lemmy/instagram/youtube/whatever, the stimulation and blue light will make you want to not sleep. Plus you might end up burning two hours of your sleep tine and not realize it…
like, do you wear it while you’re sleeping even? or just on a charger pedestal
I do have an old samsung Gear 2 that I don’t use anymore. Could use that and skip pairing to my phone. I just don’t wear smart watches, because I never wear a watch at all (blue collar industry habits, can’t wear any bands that might get caught in moving machinery)
i just keep it on 24/7, even while showering/sleeping (i basically only take it off to charge, which it only needs once every 10-14 days for like 15 minutes).
The vibro alarm thingy is surprisingly effective at waking me up! (somehow wakes me up even faster than traditional loud noise alarms)
but yeah in your case i wouldn’t be very convinient
We all need more sleep. Drinking coffee with my toes is getting a bit socially awkward. And trust me, when you get my age, you'll only wish you had indulged in more sleep when you were young. Now I have to take an entire bottle of Ambien and drape a towel drenched in chloroform over my face to get any sleep at all! (WELL maybe I should cut back on the caffeine also....).
No because I'm not willing to be put on a CPAP device. I suffer from bleeding throat due to an unnaturally dry throat, and I cannot tolerate any air forced down my airway. I probably DO have sleep apnea, but I don't have the usual symptoms of it, I simply usually just feel restless in bed and unable to feel sleepy at all. I go to bed late, you'd think I'd be worn out enough to sleep, but I just lay there. When i do sleep, it's all nightmares and I don't get any rest from that anyway.
They have a new device that you wear on your neck that electronically stimulates you to prevent apnea. Might be worth looking into. I’m not an expert though.
This is a very nice piece that had so much information I did not know. Toward the top of the article I was wishing for footnotes, references or something that would indicate it was not just your opinion, but as I got further into the piece you provided so many great references. I thought the calculator manuals were particularly accessible and convincing. Thanks for a great read!
I’m not sure if you read the post yet but I also have a short section about alternative notations which are less ambiguous or never ambiguous. RPN has the same issue as most notations that are never ambiguous namely that it’s hard to read - especially for big expressions.
