On work days I always get a good 7-8 hours, but if I’m not working I very rarely manage more than 3-4, it’s as if my brain feels like it’s wasting the day. I’m one of those people who can operate comfortably on very little sleep. I use a sleep cycle alarm that is supposed to wake me when it senses I’m only sleeping lightly or something, no idea if any of that stuff’s real/helpful but it can’t hurt. I also maintain a healthy weight (I used to be overweight) which keeps pressure off my neck and reduces snoring & breathing interruptions, that definitely helps with feeling rested.

Once in a blue moon my body decides to sleep about 9 hours longer than planned to catch up on missed sleep, but I either rarely feel particularly tired or I’ve been doing this long enough that I don’t remember what being properly awake felt like 🤷‍♂️

I’m surprised the end is so high. I’ve seen the first 3 or 4 seasons a bunch of times because I’d rewatch them as background noise between seasons, but I remember really not liking the final season. I can’t remember any specifics because it’s been so long, but I haven’t gone back and watched it again since it came out because it was so disappointing. I do remember not liking Liz’s boyfriend at all, and for some reason I hated the final episode.

I’ve been watching the show with my partner recently, but we’re only half a dozen episodes in because it’s just filler for when we’re not in the mood for an episode of something heavier.

He’s one of very few wrestlers from that era I’ve never heard anything bad about, and it always makes me nervous to mention that because I’m worried someone will come along and tear down my last remaining childhood wrestling hero.

Don’t forget, Madame Web was this year too.

I finally managed to get into Breath of the Wild the other night after getting it on launch day and never enjoying it. I played 9 hours solid, then had to go to work for a few days, so I’m looking forward to going home more than usual.

Other than that, there’s the seemingly endless hunt for my last 3 Monster Hunter World achievements (only ~480 hours in, so I’m doing ok). Also, I’ve finally got around to trying Suicide Squad, and I kinda dig it so far. Just gotta clear my plate a bit for the PC release of FF16 in a few weeks, but I can almost guarantee I’ll be too stuck into either Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom to play it.

Exactly. I’m there to lose myself in the crowd and to feel the music. Being right up near the amps makes me feel alive. Every bass drum beat feels like it’s kicking you in the chest, every time the pyros go off you feel the heat on your face, mosh pits open up spontaneously around you, it’s some of the most fun I’ve ever had. If I just want to listen to the band I’ll stay home and put an album on, save myself a hundred bucks.

I bought a little $15 single-serve rice cooker and left it in the staff room where I work. Nobody else has ever touched it or even knows who it belongs to as far as I know. Beats wasting hours doing bulk meal prep on the weekends or getting takeaway. If it ever disappears it was cheap enough that it doesn’t matter.

I pay to join small creators’ channels to support them as directly as possible, and Google takes a cut from that. If they’re still going to try to force ads even on channels I directly pay for I have no issue blocking ads altogether. I also have an extension to disable shorts and recommendations, I just go there, watch specifically what I want to watch and leave.

A couple of these are interesting, but for my own sanity I have to refuse to accept most are commonly believed at all. Some are myths either way, like Satan ruling Hell or not isn’t real so it’s kind of a strange thing to include. I think the only one that really surprised me is the banana tree one, which is some interesting trivia but is so pedantic that if someone said that to me in person I’d just want to leave the room.

There are definitely times when it seems like he’s had a hit of something during commercial breaks. He’s often drunk on air (and drinks during the show) so it’s certainly possible.

Edit: I just listened, he’s drunk on air during this episode. And the headline is a quote from Steve Bannon, bit misleading.

I was in the Summer event and came third or so for Jarvonia overall. Like a dope I stopped using Discord right after that and haven’t seen anything from the game since. Looks awesome, can’t wait to get in.

Out of curiosity, in which parts of Australia is the V sign insulting? I’d only recognise it as an insult because I grew up watching British sitcoms, I’ve never seen it used that way in person.

Just don’t turn the tap on full blast and it’s fine. You just want cool flowing water to soothe the burn, you’re not trying to clean it or anything.

It’s too blurry to see what year this was, but we’re currently taught (in Australia) not to do the Heimlich manoeuvre. Also that if you’re doing CPR alone don’t bother with the breaths, the chest compressions are more important - only do breaths with a second person so you can keep compressions going uninterrupted.

As someone whose preferred position to watch car racing would be lying on the road, I disagree. At least a normal race might have a crash or something, that was not interesting at all.

The marble racing on the other hand, absolutely.

“After” profits tumble? We haven’t even had a chance to buy FF16 or Rebirth yet, and if they’re like Remake there’ll still be a year to wait for it to get off Epic and onto Steam. Just sell us the damn game if you want money.

I’ve always felt that way about prerelease stuff. Give me a title, a release date, and in the rare cases it’s not a remake/sequel, a hook. I don’t need endless hype.

Insects are a “halal no-no” but there’s an insect in the halal box. Is that a mistake or another of those justifications like beavers being seafood?
