Ok all this sleep apnea stuff is fine and you should get checked of you can, go do it, yes.

But if someone recorded me while I was sleeping and posted it to the internet rather than talking to me about it, that’s a huge invasion of privacy, 40k listeners or not. Wtf?

And nobody here is concerned with that..?

    This is really interesting. I didn’t even know humans had spongey lightweight bone, figured it was all the good strong stuff, and spongey marrow. It’s very cool that it can re-form to account for different activities.

    I’ve always preferred being barefoot, like basically always including running, and basically never wear shoes if I can help it. When I try to run in shoes I always twist my ankle no matter how careful I am, with the exception of split sole wrestling shoes or other ultra-thin-sole shoes that allow for running the aame way as barefoot, and now I understand a bit more of why! My spongy bones (and probably tendons and other stuff) just aren’t used to that kind of activity. Neat!

    The threshold effect is very annoying.

    If I go back where I was I usually remember why I left in the first place, but like, damn shitty short term memory! Or is it object permanence? Probably both, who am I kidding :p

    Diamond commercials. And to a lesser extent diamonds themselves.

    I always end up saying “diamonds; that’ll shut her up!” When they play on the radio.. idk where it came from but the commercials drive me batty, so it makes me feel slightly better.

    You know young vampires who were turned within the last few decades are thrilled with work from home. They don’t have that nest egg yet, gotta grind it out. Before they were limited to graveyard shift, but this opens up so many possibilities!

    Another thing you may want to talk to an optometrist about, especially if your photophobia causes headaches or migraines, is the FL-41 coating for glasses which filters out blue wavelengths that tend to be more triggering of sensitivities.

    It made a big difference for me just with the lightest tint. Feels like glare reduction. The darkest one looks like the apocalypse, though, can’t recommend it unless you actually need that much blue block.

    This is a surprisingly encouraging thing to hear for someone who wants to get into making art but has issues with not being perfect the first time.

    Maybe I -will- make that painting I've been putting off.

    I felt exactly the same way about Rimworld when 1.6 released after a wildly long time on 1.5. I’d just got it set up on a newly rebuilt gaming pc, and did all the work to manually download, install, and sort new copies of about 1,000 mods (not on steam, refuse to use it for anything other than finding mods - I've since found rimsort which has workshop access and steamcmd built in, along with some other sources I haven’t explored, which is swanky af.) and then 1.6 dropped which would break literally all my mods because they changed how the game runs, and..

    I just said absolutely not and left it at 1.5 for a long time while I continued to play my perfectly good functional game (do some games not let you choose to update or not, not the ones mentioned cuz I read the article and know its optional, but any? If you -can- choose, why does this even matter? Fomo?). I recently updated everything, now that I have rimsort for the mods, and.. yeah game is almost exactly the same, and runs the same, but some of the mods are built in now. And they added birds and water plants I guess. Yay. Taking two full days to set everything up again was so worth it… Most of it is junk I’ll never interact with, because the modded stuff I’m used to is superior. I haven't even tried to go to space, that crap isn't what I’m playing for (ridiculous base building and hoarding is, and “spreadsheets and warcrimes: the game” is exactly my jam for those two things).

    A lot of the newer mods are considerably better, though, so there IS that..

    Not difficult at all, just longer posts. Everything else is exactly the same as if tou installed it 3-or-whatevers-standard foot from the ground.

    As for tornadoes, they don't happen in most places nearly as often as certain places in the US, just due to how they form and the conditions necessary, so largely irrelevant to most of the world. But beyond that, being near, but not on, the ground doesn't offer a lot of help in tornado force winds for something like solar. It’s likely to get damaged regardless how tall it is.
