Hello Mondo
Our current governor, Roy Cooper, is term limited and he couldn’t run again. So the current state AG Josh Stein ran (and won)
His opponent (our current Lt Gov) was a man who is um …interesting. And made national news for um …interesting things he posted on a porn site. Among other things.
All these are great… I do all except the sleep mask regularly. And I use that sometimes.
Also, for times when I have insomnia - I do take a melatonin, I also will sometimes just sleep when I can, and if that means 2 hours now, up for a while, then sleep 5 hours, then that’s what I do. But I have a pretty flexible schedule overall.
Thanks! I got the spelling off youtube’s romanji subtitles.
Omg - love this one!!
Nah, I’d win. (English version)

I currently have 130+ tabs open in Firefox and 90+ in Chrome in addition to some other programs open and running (libreOffice, vpn, and others) Everything is working fine on my old laptop with an i5 processor and 16G ram and windows 10, ssd hd
I can’t really game on this, and trying to run a virtual machine is a slog.
But VS Code, database, xshell, calibre, audacity, photopea, even basic video editing all run fine. Granted I usually do one project at a time, so I’m not using VS Code and editing videos at the same time.
The browser tabs are usually always open. Oh, and I actually just cleaned up my tabs. There were a lot more…
I feel like the memory issues are mostly worked out now for most of us.
We got some rechargeable motion activated lights. I love-love them. They last a long time. Less tripping over sleeping pets trying to go to the bathroom. Yes, I could turn a light on, but I don’t want to be blinded, half asleep, and used to just shuffle in the dark. Plus when the power goes out, these still work, which is a bonus.
2005 the word truthiness was coined https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truthiness

You should get a full dermatologist check. Especially if you have ever been sunburned.
Get any suspicious or annoying moles removed and biopsied.
I have 4 friends (granted 50+ years old) who have had skin cancers removed in the last year. Many, many stitches on faces, arms, and necks
This is my answer. When things seem to be going well, something bad is about to happen
I use it now quite a bit. And I’ve been subscribing more. Before I fell down the jjk rabbit hole, I hadn’t realized how mamy creators were being suggested that I’d never hit follow on, but would watch often.
I had to clear my history because all I was getting was jujutsu kaisen and none of my subscription stuff was coming through.
I feel this way about music too. Not just pirated tunes, but copyright takedowns on shorts and in yt vids
Finding new artists as a fan is hard enough. If someone has reposted your music video as their own, sure I get it.
But a minute clip or less? Fans or haters talking about it? Let that thing fly free baby! I’ve found so much new music that was background music. I use the family Spotify account or buy merch more than I buy music these days to support.
I’ve bought so many books from authors that became my favs after they did a free epub once that got my attention.
There’s always the “do this thing free for the exposure” problem - but people who say that are usually trying to exploit artists for their own gain. Fans are different, they are grass roots and not trying to exploit, but trying to recruit.
Afraid of being asked this irl and dropping tmi. But since this is the Internet…
I’m 52 and going through what feels like a 2nd fucking puberty. I’m feeling creative again, but this time with panic attacks, and enough experience to own the Art of Procrastination to a level that matches Gojo’s Limitless. I’m dodging that shit like it’s effortless until the last possible moment and then crush it. So far.
I have so, so much to worry about, I’ve shorted out. My brain is simply in denial so I will probably have a sleep paralysis panic attack again soon.
At least there’s some good stuff too and I’m clinging to that. And my hyperfocusing/fixation on stuff has come in handy, even when using to avoid other things.
Yeah, my step-son is planning to adopt if he and his fiancee want kids. Climate isn’t the only reason, but even before he ever met her, he told me he’d rather adopt than bring more people into the world.
Plot twist, best friends got married just to get you two to meet
Another reply acting like this is a dumb thing to remind people. Maybe I’m dumb too.
But we used to have a fan that blew air across the bed. Husband loved it, I hated the feeling of air moving across me and would be buried under blankets to avoid it.
After a medical procedure he was sleeping in a recliner for a few weeks while he healed.
I adjusted the fan and ceiling fan so they move air around the whole room, just not directly across the bed. I can sleep without barriers for air tickles, we get the white noise benefit, and the room feela cooler. It works for him too this way when he’s in there and keeps him cool enough (I’ve asked)
Before that I had just assumed you had to be directly in front of a fan to get the benefits, especially when it’s too hot outside for the AC to work effectively.
It wasn’t just Governor though, also Lt Gov flipped blue, AG stayed blue, and we flipped enough state seats to blue to break a super majority even with the gerrymandering, and state level Superintendent for Education went blue…
