My understanding is that it is usually better than nothing but not nearly as effective as well adjusted CPAP or Bilevel PAP even in relatively mild apnea.

Note that this is just one type of insomnia; it is not the case that all insomnia necessarily involves the persuit of sleep.

Good catch and a good reason to be suspicious. The D-Health study in Austrialia will be done in a couple of years and is a similar size just looking at vitamin D, so we can see then if the results match. That is a large monthly dose so not

That last part of the second sentence should not appear in the article at all, it is inaccurate. It suggests that the limbic system in general is involved in processing emotions, which is not the case although it has often been presented t

"most likely isn't gonna fund terrorism" This isn't true, unfortunately (at least in the US and I suspect much of the world) unless you are getting it legally or know the source. The US does grow quite a bit of illegal

IMO it should be called voter suppression when this isn't done (as in Oregon) since rural voters are less likely to have convenient drop boxes. Mild voter suppression compared to what some states are doing but still politically motiva

IIRC, last I checked something like half the states in the US allow you to get a paper ballot ahead of time for no particular reason so in those states vote by mail wouldn't change anything. I would say that vote by mail isn't alw

You might be thinking of Colorado where they somehow failed to notice that a truck with a bunch of ballots to be sent to voters wasn't unloaded at the post office until people started complaining that they didn't get a ballot. Th

Independent of anything else, allowing the back button to take you back to a page that redirected you previously is bad UI. It is almost never the desired behavior.

I think you have a few options, depending on what you are looking for and what you are already doing. 1) Look for local options (city and state level in the US, or even neighborhood level sometimes), and particularly on focused but not too

Most of the newer games I play are Unity games. Although checking Wikipedia it sounds like the core engine is still in C++, so maybe there is more emultation than I thought even then. I guess this is why not that many games can be run dir

I don't know the details of this stuff, but with .net/mono is it even correct to call it emluation? It seems more like a compatability layer than emulation.

I think it is a good idea to keep in mind that the lucrative business opportunity here is convincing potential customers that things are much better than they actually are (at the lowest possible cost), and advertising will be geared to tha

You may be right, however a benefit of certifications supported by labor rights or human rights organizations is that those organizations have some ability to contact affected workers. Even if those certifications aren't as good as th

One thing I discovered recently is that the most common vitamin D test significantly undercounts D2, although there is another test that is more accurate in that case (I'm guessing it is also more expensive). Since D2 is added to a nu

IMO, you are suggesting way more thought than is actually going on in most cases. I think you are right about not identifying with future selves being part of the issue, but I think it is usually just memory, at least when talking about fo

It is a good point. There are a few industries where companies tend to be really strict about who you buy from and will refuse to honor warranty from unautorized sellers (headphones, other than the least expensive, are one that I came acro

There was an incident with someone using an elevator here in Portland, Oregon, a few years ago, IIRC not a sudden stop at the end at least but too rapid movement leading to an actual heart attack. It is rare in the US for elevator users to

For the US, the Oregon/Washington/Colorado style vote by mail ballot seems best. There is no need for anyone to stand in a line to vote and a human count of the paper ballot is possible if necessary. The computers involved are n
