Losing matt, losing virgil less so but still, losing 2020, the pandemic, really put a nail in the chapo project in terms of it being a political thing. The hope, bad fruitless as it was even at the time, was by listening to the podcasts and voting that would be enough to finally change something. And chapo bought into itself as that project - they joked about it and were self effacing but they thought maybe they could be staffers in a Bernie admin. Which means it definitely hurt when everything fell apart as stupidly as it did. Almost a perfect circle from Hillary losing to Trump.

The zbiotics guys started advertising on Cody's news showdy?

You ever seen those ancient fertility idols

Watched Obsession! Good horror movie. I never went through what Bear did one to one, but some of it was close and some of it mightve been pulled from my own life (minus supernatural bs). Little triggering

The autopens are expensive, but it wouldnt be a bab idea other than expense to the system (or to the insurance provider/person for Americans)

Well, yeah, thats why Ive been telling you your sleep should be a much much higher priority for you lately you goofball

Theres a few hormones we think are the main regulators of sleep. Melatonin (its endogenous, not just a thing you pick up at the store), adenosine, seratonin and cortisol.

Cortisol will spike at 0200H for more or less everyone, so if youre not asleep its gonna contribute to the tired but wired feeling of being awake. Its at its lowest, in a regular sleep cycle, at around midnight.

Melatonin just gets produced more and more in darkness, the longer the darkness the more melatonin builds up. It tells you youre tired and helps you actually fall asleep. If you keep blue lights on or theres bright lights, you wont produce as much melatonin.

Adenosine isnt like a primary sleep hormone but the longer youre awake the more it build up, the sleepier you feel. If you drink caffeine, its an adenosine receptor blocker, which is why people feel awake with it. But caffeine can have quite a long half life and still be cycling around if you have one at 3 PM and youre trying to sleep at 10 PM say.

Serotonin, not a primary sleep hormone but it does get used to produce melatonin. Cycling serum seratonin makes you feel awake, happy, alert. Through the day itll start getting converted to melatonin, which makes you feel ssleepy. If your seratonin activity is messed up, itll mess up your melatonin. So if someone had depression, anxiety disorder, even some clinical disordered eating - it can all fuck with your sleep on a hormonal level. Which is terrible because poor sleep can make mood worse, and good sleep can make mood vastly, VASTLY improve.

So if she's awake every day at 0540H, its cause all these hormones are in a cycle and shes helped set it presumably after a good long while using that alarm.

People always say theyd simply kill bad people if they had an irl death note (kinda ignoring the point of the manga or show lol). Some people think they'd be clever and choose to kill no one, but Ryuk will kill the owner if he finds them too boring... it really is better to simply ignore the death note at all costs. And if you accidentally pick it up, find some way of being entertaining I guess.

Well, youre under a lot of stress and sleep deprivation. It tracks you might have a bare nerve

Whats the failure though...? You got a least one undergrad and now are about to get a masters

Since one of you could be driving or minding the other, its probably better if you didnt have it at the same time
