As much as there can be, minus the bedroom which needs complete control over how much light is allowed. Side note: one of the most interesting house designs of the mid-century is called an Eichler — the design had floor-to-ceiling windows, skylights, open floor plans, and sometimes an atrium in the middle with sliding glass door entrances to make as much use of natural light as possible.
Spinal Tap. The reactions to it are telling enough: allegedly Steven Tyler didn’t think it was funny, and the Edge just wept.
This “new phone every year” is the worst consumer crapfest we have going. AI features feel like clutching at straws when seemingly everyone hates the battery life on every single phone. Slap a larger battery in there? Well now you get shit AI that burns whatever extra capacity was gained. I can’t name a single quality on an iPhone model from the last 6 years that I truly wanted, other than the size of my 13 mini. It works fine and it fits in my pocket. Now make one that stays on for a full 24 hours and doesn’t need a battery replacement every 2 years.
I had a pay-as-you-go Nokia from an overseas trip that was perfect as a nonfunctional phone/alarm clock when I got home because it announced the time. Hit snooze at 8am and next alarm it’d say “the time is 8:10” and then do the noise.
Here come the “ask it about Tiananmen Square” comments from your alcoholic uncle in his pit vipers
It’s always at the bottom or top right where you’d step off and you just watch the person’s shoe suddenly disappear, and then they disappear. I believe it’s a shoelace or loose/flexible shoes that get pulled into the machinery and belts where the surface flattens out and goes back under the floor.
Yeah so funnily enough I just checked IG reels and saw one where about four people get shot. There was a “sensitive content” screen over it but that’s it. Postmodern complaint: I’m just glad it wasn’t someone getting sucked into an escalator, those are freaky.
This is also true. I was told to do something unpleasant like clean bathroom grout with a toothbrush to make your brain hate being up. My go-to is tidying up the dining room table.
Great suggestions! This is known as “sleep hygiene” and I follow it religiously, but still can’t quite get sleep unfortunately. My spouse thought I was crazy when I taped over all the little lights lol
I have tried seroquel, and it’s a great drug for a coma. Unfortunately I started powering through it somehow at multiple strengths. Thanks for the suggestion though!
Any fellow insomniacs or any neurologists have some obscure wisdom? I truly don’t sleep. Since 2015, likely earlier, my sleep latency is forever, I keep waking up if I do fall asleep, and I wake up too early. When I do sleep, according to an inpatient sleep study, I barely get to stage 3 sleep for a few minutes and hang out in stage 1 & 2. There is no REM sleep happening. I have limb movement multiple times a minute. I was prescribed a CPAP a few years ago and it hasn’t helped, even with strict adherence to use. The AHI is only between 0 and 0.4 any night of the week. You name a medication, on and off label use, and I’ve tried it. My sleep hygiene is impeccable. I keep thinking one good night’s sleep will fix me, but at this point, I’ve lost hope.

“You need to go to college to be successful or you’ll be flipping burgers!”
So said teachers, parents, career counselors, etc. and here we are, I beat school, and no jobs. Should’ve become an electrician.
For the love of god, defund MBAs.
Ah I remember that. Forever burned into my brain: “Eighteen naked cowboys in the showers at Ram Ranch…”
