+1 on determining (and understanding) sleep cycles. And +1 on naps. I consider myself really good at napping. Somewhere I read NASA determined 26 minutes being the best nap amount, so I have a 28 minute timer because I can usually fall asleep within 5 minutes.
Routines before sleeping can help your brain fall asleep faster. I beleive that’s a key to my nap ability because it usually works even if I don’t think I’m sleepy. I have 1 hour for lunch at work, so if I bring food, I can nap in my car. I used to park facing uphill and east at one job to get extra recline and keep the afternoon sun off me, but my current lot is flat and I got a sleep mask. I play a specific artist (Deadmau5) on a low volume. I have used construction ear muffs as extra sound dampening.
I learned of a mental game that does an amazing job of getting my thoughts to calm down. Pick a category, then run through the alphabet to name something for each letter. Apple, banana, cranberry, etc. If you can’t think of something, skip the letter and come back. I basically never make it to the end unless I’m really upset about something. And, not gonna lie, the most effective category for me is sex/porn categories. Nothing is more focused than a horny brain.
I set my thermostat schedule to help with that. It doesn’t work too well in the summer due to weak ac, but the heat works great in the other 3 seasons. I let it drop to about 65 around 11pm, raise to 72 around 8am, drop to 68 at 9am if I’m home or lower for work days.
The recent trend of Halloween decoration is swinging towards Christmas decorations. Just flood your yard with a Halloween theme made of every item you can afford rather than trying to set an unsettling mood (for the people with more than a few decorations). Maybe I’m too stuck up, maybe I overrate the spookiness of my display. But there’s a ton of absurdly overpriced props with the world’s worst speakers for sale in Spirit. I really noticed it when the home depot “#12ftskeleton” prop went so viral they put the hashtag on the box (still not convinced it wasn’t viral marketing).

And the cheating will be tolerated promoted because they seriously beleive the other side is cheating. “Trump got more votes in 2020 than any prior candidate” is proof enough. Certainly can’t be that he’s such a polarizing, vile piece of shit that actually scared more non-voting people to vote tod defeat him, and they certainly can’t beleive Biden actually holds the vote record (note the key use of “prior” in trump’s claim). They really think the orange coastal elite is somehow on the working man’s side. The same cheeto that has declined to pay every contractor on his towers. The same cheese puff that couldn’t sell steaks. The same crayon that couldn’t find profit in a casino.
I’m pretty sure they meant “20 minutes” to mean a lifetime of always fighting google and “20 seconds” to mean switching to a different browser
I acknowledge it is the only acceptable brand of pork roll
Funny way to spell “pork roll”
Not sure if joking… But someone did take advantage of the 3rdgparty heat map and spent a couple dozen hours of game time drawing this dick in the galaxy

Oh yeah, I don’t have time to play my main Elite:Dangerous profile anymore but I’ll totally have time to use my free Epic license to plaster my name across the galaxy on deep space exploration.
Lol I thought it was just my advanced age of 33 that made it difficult to understand a game from the Xbox previews. A majority of screenshots look like garbage once you’re not in character and the store highlights that.
The non-monospace font control code is set to recenter the double-digit readout starting at 9 because it’s a computer thing to start all counts at 0 instead of 1 and I know just enough about “off by one” errors to 100% assume this with no actual experience.
But, for science, does 20 center itself differently than 10 and, if so, does 19 actually match 20?
Huh, I see ads and banners and signs all the time. I guess I should have guessed the only non-governmental propaganda machines that big are religious cults.
This is close to my belief. Someone has to own the home and they’re worth hundreds of thousands of dollars (I’m not getting into the overblown values right now, one step at a time). Since most people don’t have $300k+ in cash (US non-metro), then they’re not buying it outright. What’s the difference between paying rent to a landlord or mortgage to a bank? Both are making a profit and both can kick you out for non-payment (again, one problem at a time). So, given the current state of housing, you can legitimately provide housing at a reasonable price that doesn’t require a 50k+ down payment first. I am not a landlord sympathizer, I am not a landlord. I’m just someone still putting 60% of my monthly mortgage payment into the interest accrued just in the last 30 days (read: new homeowner).
Don’t be a dick corpo fuck that buys blocks of houses and let’s them sit vacant to drive up scarcity. Don’t be a flipper that does a cheap reno to turn $30k of improvements into a $150k upsell. Don’t do the cheapest repairs to meet code for your tenants.
Because something that gets lost in the two party system is that, at its core, there’s the conservative side trying to make things best for their majority group and then there’s a dozen different types of liberals trying to make the world better in their direction. One side wants to revert back, one “side” is pulling in a hundred different directions. Should we tackle education first? Financial responsibility? Human rights? Social safety nets? Pollution? Climate change? National interest? Global interest? There’s so many different topics that liberals want to progress forward in an order each individual determines. It’s not a single liberal force, it’s a hundred forces in a trench coat. Conservatives (of any country or topic) are some kind of incumbent majority/dominating demographic while the alternatives all fall under “liberal”. So the only thing that consistently unifies the democrats is what they don’t like
Not necessarily. Proper LED drivers adjust voltage to feed them a certain specified current. The driver will decrease voltage and heat more if it’s a basic transistor circuit but smarter circuits will just chop the power more. Even if it does supply the higher voltage due to use of a basic resistor circuit, there should be some safety factor that keeps the emitters below max power, so having 8% higher voltage shouldn’t affect longevity much. There’s many variables. Obviously everything I listed is regarding ideal conditions
