Hands them my baby pothos sappling 🥹😭

They were never delivered?? I was familiar with the story but no one had ever mentioned that before, that seems pretty fuckin important 😅

If I’m not mistaken that guy completely left the project like a while back now. Hasnt been involved in any way for a hot minute

Is for the SAVE act? Thats pretty fucking damning, seeing as how its blatant voter supression

Hi, I have a lot of experience dealing with sleep issues (in treatment for a severe circadian rhythm disorder for 10 years and used to have insomnia additonally)

If you haven’t also made changes to improve sleep hygiene, its like the absolute #1 most important thing with insomnia (having a consistent bedtime is an excellent start. If not the case already, try to create a consistent routine around sleep. Dont spend any time in bed not asleep- don’t do any of your daytime activities in bed, sex usually being considered an exception, don’t get into bed until sleepy, if you can’t fall asleep within ~30min, get up and do something to wind down again and try again once sleepy. If you wake up and can’t fall back asleep, do the same. When you wake up in the morning get out of bed as quickly as you can rather than relaxing in bed, a comfortable chair and blankets close to bed that you can move to help make that easier)

Sleep hygiene is a term you can look up for more info, its the most important starting place for insomnia if you’re not already attending to it.

Also, you should know that the correct dosage for melatonin is generally considered about .5mg taken (I believe) 3h before you want to sleep. I currently take .3mg/300mcg from Carlyle medicine on amazon, they’ve seemed to be the lowest cost option for low dose when I’ve looked

I say I believe because for my sleep disorder research now points to taking it even earlier, 5-8h before sleep, but I don’t think thats applicable to insomnia, just circadian rhythm disorders

Something I’ve been finding a lot of success with lately is a warm shower before bed. Your circadian rhythm is primarily regulated by light, but temperature also plays a big role, both internal and external temp. In the evening your internal body temp will peak a couple hours before bedtime and then start to decrease. This is a que that its time for you to sleep. When you take a warm shower it increases bloodflow to your extremities and once you get out that bloodflow to the outer edges of your body actually causes you to shed heat, helping your body temperature decrease. It seems like research generally points to 1-2h before bed for maybe like 15min, but research on specifics of how and when is most helpful is still ongoing and not totally concrete. And I saw the comment from a doctor somewhere that wearing socks would hinder your ability to cool down this way which makes sense so I try not to cover my hands or feet when I get out. I find it doesn’t need to be that far in advance of bedtime to be helpful for me

The last thing I’ll mention is that in some cases the circadian rhythm disorder “Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder/Syndrome” (DSPD/DSPS) can look like insomnia, and will generally be different in that if you try to maintain a delayed scheduled sleep will get easier, as the problem is actually that your body’s circadian rhythm is delayed, so its hard to get to bed when you expect to be able to. Sleep apnea can also sometimes look like insomnia. Seeing a good sleep provider to rule out other explanations or identify if there’s more going on there may be a good idea if the issue persists.

Sending love and hugs my friend, sleep issues are fucking miserable 🫂 I’m rooting for you, good luck. If you have any questions about things I’ve said feel free to ask

Super interesting use case, that makes sense. I can see why it’d be frustrating to loose that functionality given how you liked using it

I swear to god if anyone breaks party lines on this…

This feels like a profoundly make or break moment for compete fascist control of the government

Unrelatedly curious- what did you use “select all tabs” for?

High quality meme

Sounds neat!

Interesting I’m curious what your experience has been with email. I technically still have a gmail that I just let my spam go to and access through Thunderbird, but tuta has served me very well so far for email

Understanding how your usecase or needs may be different from mine would be helpful for when I give advice to folks I know, cause I’ve thought of email as not being too bad

What a weird bug, that kinda sucks 😅

ಠ.ಠ

Living up to the comm’s name, well done 😅 what in the everloving Fuck was that??

I feel like the beginning was a little too complicated and didnt have the best UX but I really loved the more multimedia way of presenting all the details together, with audio, video, textual information, and data visualization all brought together

My laptop shat the bed not long ago too. I just pried my old drive out of it and stuck it in an enclosure 😅

Thats the drive where I back stuff up now lol

That is really helpful, thank you so much!

What is a tracker? 😅 I’m super ignorant about this stuff lol

Ay, nice work! ☺️ tech people would find my backup protocols deeply concerning 😀

(I dont have any. I just dump shit on a drive when I distro hop)

I have never been good about seeding because my old laptop sucked and I rarely torrent stuff and dont really underestand what the ettiquite is or what seeding actually entails. I always kinda worried it’d keep my computer awake all the time and like use battery, or consume computational resources while I’m trying to use it

Anyone wanna give me the lowdown on seeding, etiquette, and what to expect? I’d like to be better about it, but I don’t have anyone to really learn this stuff from 😅

That would be such a fucking endearing interaction in a game lol

Love a recovery story, I wish her happiness :)
