You’re right, my comment was an oversimplification.

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure machine.
It’s a medical device used to prevent sleep apnea, a condition where your breathing stops during sleep, which causes the lack of oxygen (or CO2 build-up? I can’t remember which) to trigger you to wake up, disrupting your sleep. This leads to sleep deprivation, even when you may have thought that you managed to get a full night’s sleep.
The machine treats the condition by continuously pushing down air down your airways, which makes the breathing interruptions impossible, leading to less sleep interruptions.
Over time, the condition may lead to complications that are more serious than mere sleep deprivation, such as heart disease.
One of the symptoms people near you may notice is snoring. Another is constantly being tired, sometimes to the point of for example falling asleep while driving.
It’s a condition that should be treated quite seriously. If the symptoms line up particularly well for you, then a sleep study might be a good idea.
The treatment isn’t exactly fun, but I can tell you from personal experience that it will change your life. Being treated actually gave me the energy to take care of the problem of overweight that I had, which was the root cause behind the sleep apnea. I have been symptom-free for many years now.

Wouldn’t a handheld showerhead be even better? That way, you could aim the showerhead directly away from the opening, somewhat reducing the incidence of splashing.
I know from experience that it’s not sufficient, but I’m certain it minimizes the damage, and honestly I consider handheld showerheads to be superior regardless

My bet would be just plain confusion - “why are you calling them Swedish meatballs if you don’t make them like meatballs are made in Sweden?”

As it is, good shorts are too expensive and too delicate to be washing every single time you wear them.
Honestly, you can get some massive value in the bibs department on AliExpress for not a huge amount of money. $30-$60 will set you up with remarkably good stuff

Is the implication that NIMBYs are generally speaking pro-renewables? Because my experience is that they fucking hate wind power because they think they look ugly.
If anything, nuclear is more popular with the NIMBY crowd around here since you need fewer of them, and the chances of them happening to be in your backyard is hence way lower.

Isn’t Al only as smart as the user putting in the information or commands?
The information that’s been “put in” is everything that bots have been able to scrape off of the internet, plus transcripts of a large quantity of YouTube videos, and a large dataset of pirated ebooks.
Terabytes of information, of varying quality.

Idk how all slop managed to get the exact same looking font tbh. I wonder if you can prompt it away or if they did something in the training to make sure it always spit out some type of legible text

Store-bought tomatoes are generally sub-par because of the logistical problem of tomatoes - when they are sufficiently ripe, they become too soft to transport without breaking.
On account of the square-cube law, smaller tomatoes are less prone to this issue, so anyone with no access to homegrown tomatoes will benefit from opting for smaller varieties.

Most cryptocurrency pushers are less interested in the underlying cryptographic fundamentals, however.
Cryptography is undeniably cool. Cryptocurrency is undeniably not cool.

It takes some care to make your backyard tomatoes actually taste as spectacular as they can taste.
Last year I had the bad fortune of harvesting some truly bland tomatoes from the plants on my balcony. This was most likely a skill issue - I kept the tomatoes too hot, and didn’t fertilize them apart from the initial fertilizer that came with the soil I potted them in.
This year, my tomatoes tastes spectacular, because I fixed those problems.

Probably unrelated to this, but ’nonce’ is a concept in cryptography (not the cryptocurrency-kind), a number used only once in a cryptographic operation.
Apart from the colloquial British use, that is.

I can’t say that anyone in particular is giving me compliments on my beard. My partner has said that she does not want me to shave it off, so there’s that, though.

40 hours a week is quite uncommon, but elite cyclists can put in upwards of 30 hours. With that type of volume, intensity management is quite important. You need to do the large majority of your exercise at low intensity for it to yield good results.

You can do resistance exercises without the gym and get a good chunk of benefits from it. It’s easier with a gym though, and in my experience more fun.
If you just want to dip your toes in it, look into calisthenics. Should you find that enjoyable and hit a plateau in your progress, consider joining a gym at that point.

I don’t think anyone is arguing for the oil industry.
Even if nuclear power plant byproducts were re-used at 100%, this would still decidedly not make nuclear energy more resource efficient than solar and wind.
- Comment on Not a single one 1 month ago:
Absolutely. I don’t know that anyone is arguing for coal, except for Trump, but he’s also completely deranged.
Wind and solar have very little externalities, however. I’d even call their externalities trivial.
