From what I've heard, the hours you cite also enable moonlighting. Some people do a few hours a night and make as much as their day job. Sometimes it's even as a contractor in a related field that might service their main role. At

If you are really paranoid you'd also worry about future attacks revealed through algorithmic flaws, quantum computing, or simple increases in processing power. I guess our hope is that they won't care what we said after a decade

Thanks, I'm glad it works for you. I might check if we still have some chamomile tea since I've never made a habit of it. And Kindle on my phone is probably risky because it's right next to the bad engagement-algorithm stuff,

I've done a few meditation podcasts where a guy talks and I follow along, and as soon as it ends I'm relaxed but more alert. If my power trips overnight and the noise (fans or other electrical background noise) suddenly stops, I j

I tried melatonin a couple of times and it didn't seem to help. Note also it's not available OTC here in Australia (except in the useless homeopathic form) you need a prescription, but you can bring it back from overseas if you li

Times get written down or otherwise recorded, it would be a lot of work to update or duplicate entries for opening hours on signs and websites, times in laws, and various other things to account for the time of year. Instead we can just upd

Thanks for the earbud recommendation. I was talking to my mother about the Sleep With Me podcast (she hates it but she's extremely picky) and I realised I need something wireless if I'll ever listen to something like that in bed.

Funnily enough these are the exact kind of thoughts that keep me up. I get really into it and can't let go of consciousness. Technical or problem solving are the worst for it. Brains sure are different and weird across us all.

Yes me too! It definitely feels like something I trained myself into during my teens. I don't know why but I guess the quiet time lead to contemplation of all my teenage troubles. I do the same on bus rides since I used to catch the bu

Yeah my mum and sister (around 65 / 35 years old) were diagnosed last year. I'm thinking I should go along soon since it runs in families. For some reason it's not that easy to book these things in when you have trouble plann

For a while last year, I did just accept it and stay up late until I felt more tired, usually around 1:30am. We were both working from home and I'd sleep in a little bit (which is also getting harder in my late 30s). This wasn't p

Thinking keeps me awake. It's getting worse as I get older. Maybe it's anxiety or something related, and sometimes it's worried thoughts, but often it's just running through scenarios. Video games, media plots, what I ne

Thought experiment: Would such a use of the original music as anti-music count as a transformative work of the original song (not the video, where it definitely would) under copyright? I mean, thinking of a hack. I could distribute two soun

To mangle the phrase about politicians: The type of person who feels compelled to leave a review is probably the type of person who should not leave a review. I've left online reviews a total of maybe 5 times ever. It was only ever to

Some regions floated right to explanation and right to human review for automated processes. I don't know if any passed, but if they did, it would definitely mean the service has to take it into account.

So you live a hunter gatherer lifestyle, mostly outdoors, and definitely don't sit in a chair out of the sun for hours at a time? Since we're talking about evolution.

That's the same acid which lead to mustard oil being banned, hence it being labelled 'for ceremonial purposes only' or something similar in Indian groceries in the US as a wink-wink workaround.

They'll both let you play games you already paid for but Stadia makes you buy them again, unless that changed? To me, that put Stadia in an odd place where only the more casual players without a gaming device would sign up, or those wi

Do doctors suggest some kind of cycling regime? I'd imagine I would probably take it on weekdays, then skip it on weekends and holidays. Not sure if that would be enough though.

I'm stuck between trying again with a new app after a failed merge, or letting it go. It is oddly liberating but I am a sentimental hoarder by nature so I feel like I lost something special. Though the history might actually be useful

And chat history, if it's relevant. I think it is possible to export and browse chat history 'offline' but it's not trivial. Simply transferring my history from Android to IOS was a pain and I gave up, but I still have t

We always ask for zero sugar zero ice, unless it's a very hot day. We'll often get lychee jelly or something as well as the pearls so it's sweet anyway. You can also order it heated from some places instead of having ice, I h

I can't speak for the rent but from what I was told the setup (machines) is very cheap, as are the ingredients like you say. I'll also go out on a small limb and say food businesses with predominantly foreign student workers tend

The UX sin that bothers me the most lately is when I can enter data faster than the device can handle and it doesn't buffer. The example I gave last time is running calc.exe, then hitting enter and typing a formula. On Win10 you'l

Thanks for this, I learned the word Hypnagogia from the discussion. Now I know what to say without sounding as crazy when I mention seeing things to a doctor next time. For some reason it's always spiders.
