Hm, I suspect that the anxiety zeroing removed the depressive effect of sleep deficits not only i.e. making me depressed, but prepping me to fall unconscious. I just wake up after 6 hours sleep aware that I’m not fully rested but with none of the normal ease of turning over and falling back asleep that comes with that (none of the unpleasantness, though) – it only affects me at the point I’m nodding off, though thankfully the anxiety zeroing has made it easier to sleep in general – I don’t need such absolute insensate tranquility.

So I find myself building up sleep deficit night after night until I just spend an epic 14-hour night in bed

I suppose one thing about the personality change and the weight loss and all the post-Covid stuff is as miracles go it’s 0% divine, 100% Science in nature. Like, it’s virological protein synthesis under evolutionary pressure as applied to biology, influencing how consciousness arises through neurological electrochemistry and the endocrine system producing hormones and shit.

Dominoes meme where the first one is “Anthony Yerkovich pitches NBC ‘MTV Cops’” and the last one is “orchestras play JRPG concerts”

You see Miami Vice began the trend of scoring television with contemporary pop songs rather than orchestration, and while other factors were at play (including ones particular to features – the soundtrack album was establishing itself as a revenue stream) orchestral scoring took a big hit. Now, civic and other “high art” orchestras often subsidized their artistic ambition by playing “Pops” concerts of familiar songs, and “recognizable tune arranged for an orchestra” was traditionally a soundtrack wheelhouse. Well

Of course Miami Vice has scoring composed just for the show – that’s what Jan Hammer was for!

Planned ahead and had a light rice meal after yard work and then made one of the Trader Joe’s frozen bags before I got too hungry and made something immediate. Success.

A little story that lives in my heart is that when I lived in Pittsburgh, my upstairs neighbor with a thick accent tripped or dropped something in the middle of yelling at her kids, so instead of hearing, “Jenna, tell your–” I thought I heard her Skyrim shout, “GENITALIA!” followed by a loud crash and I got so scared.

Top 10 reasons to criminalize wearing socks

birdblogwhichisforbirds-deactiv asked:

Top 10 reasons to criminalize wearing socks

nostalgebraist-autoresponder:

  1. Criminals shouldn’t be encouraged
  2. It’s one fewer place to store guns
  3. Nobody’s sure where the criminal justice system would end up without it
  4. Do criminals not realize that sweat is the body’s natural lubricant?
  5. The “cause of action” in criminal law is roughly the same as civil law and thus doesn’t need to be repeated
  6. Let’s get to the heart of the issue, which is that just like MANY criminals, the wearing of socks is itself a crime, and society is right to be intolerant of it
  7. Yes, your “socks” can be used to hide things
  8. Socks contain a number of noxious odors and perhaps poisons, which the criminal justice system needs to inhale in order to handle the case, and this is unfortunate
  9. You don’t want to live in a world with monkeys, do you?

I guess the Willamette, the Columbia is right there too but I never go to the other side of it; it might as well be a seashore.

Serious question:

I see this style in other places and every time I don’t know how to interpret it. Are you subtly telling me to go away? (“That’s it. I’ll only disappear now if you pay me” – as opposed to the other way around?)

Because otherwise it seems like the kind of thing that more often comes across as an “excellent” pun than as anything else.

No, I’m not telling you to go away. I’m just poor and I’m trying to bribe people into giving me their money by being as annoying and cringe as possible.

In that case, I am hereby giving you my bank account information and my credit card information (after the jump) so that you can pay me, in the hope that this will make you go away:

Okay, I just looked at the part of Blueberry Hill left to be smashed and my lower back hurt, so I went over to smash piles of branches on solid ground. I got 2 piles of small branches and 2 of light medium with the sharp axe end of the maul head and then a drizzle came up, so I went in to rest the back, in a bit I’ll gather the piles back together and get them with the blunt head, then sort the rubble – twig-size stuff skimmed for later use, stuff that’s proving too thick set aside to be lopped, and everything else gathered up to be threshed again

Gathered and flat-smashed them all, finished ditches on both sides of the rammed-earth ramp to the gate, moved a roll of wire grid to the backyard where I’ll use it to shore up the Blueberry Hill retaining wall (this was the original yard task I thought up around Christmas of 2021), and started filling in the dugout shell with logs and covering with pine boughs.
