I've had something similar going on, but I recently learned about "digestive walks". The sleepiness comes from a massive blood sugar spike after eating a meal, but if I do some light exercise, like a 10 to 15 minute walk, right after eating, it pulls the energy straight from the bloodstream, before the sugars have a chance to do damage.

The upshot is no after meal tiredness, better cholesterol, it's easier to manage my weight, and there's much less risk of becoming diabetic. (It's apparently helpful for those who already have diabetes as well.)

    I'm pretty sure Tasker could handle it. You could probably also limit it to just playing notifications for a single app, or only when connected to one specific BT device, if that's what you're after.

    My understanding is that "the speed of light in a vacuum" isn't really about light itself, but rather about the speed limit of cause and effect, or "information", in our universe. Light just happens to move at that maximum speed.

    In quantum mechanics, even if you can have an entangled pair (separated by long distance) collapse instantaneously, that system still couldn't be used for instantaneous communication that exceeds the speed of light in a vacuum. (At least, that is what I have previously understood.)

    I read all three articles, and didn't find an answer to this question:

    When they say "quantum teleportation of information" - The speed of that teleportation itself is still limited to C, right?

    To be clear, it's not that they shoot laser beams from their feathers as some sort of mating ritual or defense mechanism (which, honestly, is probably how I would have used my own laser feathers, if I had them), but that there are strikingly identical nano structures that can reflect back a little bit of laser light, under laboratory conditions:

    After staining the feathers with a common dye and pumping them with soft pulses of light, they used laboratory instruments to detect beams of yellow-green laser light that were too faint to see with the naked eye. They emerged from the feathers’ eyespots, at two distinct wavelengths.

    From what I understood of the article, it's not just the size (which you can get from merging previous black holes), but the combination of size, speed, and angle that are raising eyebrows.

    Smash two random black holes together, and the odds are, they're spinning at different random angles. Do that a bunch of times, and unless their angles all happened to be lined up just right, the the resulting spin will be a lot slower than the maximum speed a black hole of that size can spin. But these were spinning at 80% and 90% of their max speed.

    Okay, so maybe they were both "normal sized" black holes that gobbled up a lot of matter around a galactic nucleus? That might work, except then you'd expect them to both be spinning in the same direction - but they weren't.

    So, none of the scientists' predictions are really matching what they actually observed. Maybe it was one of those things, maybe those models are off a bit, or maybe there's another model to explain these kinds of black holes that we just haven't thought of yet.

    As an example, in Reaper, you can add a reverb effect to a section that you are looping. Then in the Render dialog, enable the "second pass render" option.

    That chunk of audio that it renders, will become a perfectly seamless loop in itself. The reverb tail that would have gotten chopped off at the end of that render, will continue on with the start of the render.

    At that point, if you didn't really need the beginning and end of the song, you can have that chunk of the song that seamlessly loops forever, when played on repeat.
