What if belief results in creation? Why would I want to believe in this Lovecraftian noodle-god, when the very act of belief might spawn this horror into our universe? Our only protection is disbelief.
Just looking at the thumbnail of this post reveals to me that reddit has takgen a bad step. An icon which scales well and is highly recognizable changed to something that looks like a badly generated figure which is way less recognizable. The added colors will make it look worse on different colored backgrounds as well. Not great.
I wish we could activate them to explode. So many seemingly normal people do not know how to properly operate a toilet. This is not a race, ethnicity, sex, gender, etc. problem; it’s across the board. What’s really frustrating is that often it doesn’t impact the morons offender as much as an innocent person that does know a toilets functions and limitations (think apartment life). It’s not fucking rocket science, people.
Every 1 km/hour increase in walking speed was associated with a 9% lower risk of type 2 diabetes, with the minimal threshold of 4km/hour equal to 87 steps/min for men and 100 steps/ min for women, the findings suggest.
So, your brain is basically shutting down the nervous system of your body’s musculature. This prevents you from moving around in your dreams. Otherwise everybody would be sleepwalking, it doesn’t work right for people that are suffering from that. That’s also where dreams of flying or falling come from as well as sleep paralysis, which is basically your brain shutting down your body while you’re still conscious. Just before your body is shut down, the electric pathways of the nervous system of your musculature are discharged, which can manifest itself as a jolt through your body, ironically waking you up again.
It’s got to do with a poor sleep routine mixed with the stress and caffeine that it often comes with.
Cut out caffeine three hours before bed, don’t eat too soon before bed, try get into a regular sleep and wake up routine and try get at least 6 hours minimum. And don’t go to bed with your phone in your face!
It is thought to be a safety system from our ape like ancestors. The system is designed to rapidly wake us, and make us latch on, if we start to fall. If you’re sleeping in a tree, this could be quite a critical response.
Unfortunately, sometimes, as we are falling asleep, the brain shuts down the senses etc in the wrong order. As our sense of balance shuts down, we can momentarily feel like we are falling. This triggers the previous response. Our muscles twitch fire, to try and latch on to something, along with a burst of adrenaline to get us awake. This is obviously less than ideal, if you are trying to get to sleep, in a nice warm bed.
I believe there are genetic components, but disrupted sleep is the most common cause. Overtiredness, disrupted circadian rhythms, or sleep disrupters (bright or blue light, caffeine alcohol etc) can all make it worse. If they are excessively common, they could be a symptom of a larger, more serious sleep condition (e.g. sleep apnea). Don’t stress about them, but don’t ignore them either, if they are disruptively common.
In doing research on the sustainability of the textile sector, I came across this company that makes a reusable towel dispenser incorporating cloth as opposed to paper. They do business with the big wigs in textiles, most notably Lenzing (makers of TENCEL), so it seems legit.
And if this company does it, I’d wager that others do too.
Imagine if we had this in all countries as opposed to paper towels. Maybe cloth towels + hand dryers for the best of both worlds.
Edit: better link with video showing operation & maintenance.
These are pretty damn great as long as they keep the sanitizer stocked. Otherwise they get gross really fast.
They are great for employee/shop restrooms, but public and especially transportation (see airports and train stations) restrooms have too much through traffic to adequately upkeep.
