Being old.
I used to be able to sleep endlessly.
Now I find myself awake early in the morning, despite having gone to bed rather late. And I’d like to go back to sleep but I can’t.
I miss it.
And this isn’t even about needing to get up to pee. That’s apparently something I still have to look forward to.

The fact that a literal convicted felon became president again after already attempting an auto-coup in the previous term, I keep anticipating a “Martial Law Declared” emergency alert with gunshots of soldiers echoing in the distance. Maybe I’m over-reacting, maybe I’m not over-reacting enough.

Anxiety / stress. Usually it relates to finances either directly or indirectly. I have enough savings to survive few years with zero income but having recently transitioned from employee to being self-employed, there’s quite a bit uncertainty about future. I’m not losing any significant amounts of money currently but I’m barely able to save anything either which makes me quite uncomfortable as someone who for the past 10 years has lived well below their means.

Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun.
Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape- descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.
This planet has – or rather had – a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn’t the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.
And so the problem remained; lots of the people were mean, and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches.

I never understood what was so terrible about the digital watches. I understand that today’s smart watches are an absolute detriment to any semblance of privacy that you might have had before in this brave new world, but why would one hate something like a Casio?

Stubbornly not taking my antidepressants in the morning, whether relenting later in the day or not. Venlafaxine, how I love thee and thy withdrawals.

My friends. I seem to have this weird ability where if I start talking to someone, time will go by really fast and then we suddenly realize it’s some ungodly hour of the morning.

If we nuke ourselves now, we’ll never figure out the mysteries surrounding black holes or the origins of the omg particle
For the Oh-My-God particle hitting a nitrogen nucleus, this gives 2900 TeV, which is roughly 200 times higher than the highest collision energy of the Large Hadron Collider, in which two high-energy particles going opposite directions collide.
The Oh-My-God particle’s energy was estimated as (3.2±0.9)×1020 eV, or 51±14 J. Although this amount is phenomenally large for a single elementary particle – far outstripping the highest energy that human technology can generate in a particle – it is still far below the level of the Planck scale, where exotic physics is expected. Though a subatomic particle, its energy was comparable to the gravitational potential energy of a 1 kilogram object that could fall 5 meters off a two-story building

Adderall. When my wife shares one of hers with me because I have a long grueling day. It helps the day but ruins any chance of sleep that night.
