If you hold the phone on your side of the bed, it should theoretically record your sleep pattern, not hers. So it should play the alarm when you're in light sleep, not her. And since the alarm starts off with low volume, there's a high chance you will be the first to hear it - she might not even notice it before you're already up. Unless you're a heavy sleeper and she isn't, in which case - yeah, it might not work.

The only thing I've tried that actually works: apps like Sleep Cycle.

The app tracks your sleep, but that's secondary for you. What you want out of it is the alarm part. You give it an interval of time when you want to wake up, and it'll do it based on which sleep stage you're in.

The idea is simple - you have different stages of sleep. Sometimes you're in deep sleep, sometimes in REM (rapid eye movement), sometimes in light sleep - there may be others, idm. You want to wake up from light sleep, that's when you feel the most fresh. Waking up from deep sleep you're all groggy and still half asleep. So the app determines when you're in the lightest sleep, and it plays an alarm gradually, so that you're not just scared awake.

The thing is, this feature is actually not why I got the app. I wanted to track my sleep, I didn't really care about how I woke up. But I honestly just found it easier to wake up with this, so now I recommend it.

Cameraman: we are doomed as a nation.

Soldier: agreed, death is the only way out of a slow descent into misery.

Cameraman: indeed. Unless we rise up and kill Putin, no other country will see us as anything more than a shithole infested with vermin. Death is the only way out. This is why we put some spikes in your cake.

Soldier: say no more, fam.

Is it that they're less left leaning? Cause when you put the names of the candidates there (Obama vs Harris), it just sounds like a weaker candidate that didn't move their base as much.

Me this morning on the phone with mage support: My carriage's doors get stuck when messengers try to deliver me messages from the king.

Mage support: I'm gonna need you to bring the carriage in.

I go to the mage's quarters.

Me: Here's the carriage, mage. Is this gonna take long or should I wait around?

Mage: give me your crystal number and I'll project astrally when we're done.

Minutes later.

Mage, appearing on my crystal: have your doors ever opened for messengers from the king?

Me: nah, ever since I got the carriage it's been closed doors. It works for other messengers though. Just not messengers from the king.

Mage: yeah, we're gonna need to recreate the carriage from scratch for security reasons.

Motherfucker if your fix for the laptop's inability to connect to wifi is to format the thing, you're not IT, you're a script kiddie. My bad - you're not a mage, you're a peasant selling counterfeit potions.

Every week you gotta:

• dust all rooms
• vacuum all rooms
• mop rooms without carpet
• cook multiple times depending on how you get organized
• clean kitchen after each cooking session
• do the dishes
• laundry multiple times
• grocery shop
• iron clothes
• clean the bathroom
• take out the trash multiple times

Every few weeks you gotta:

• clean the stove
• clean up that closet or drawer that's full of stuff you don't know where to put
• whatever else I can't think of right now

Every few months you gotta:

• defrost the freezer & clean the fridge
• deep clean some areas
• some other things probably

Add a regular 8h job on top, add commitments (visit for someone's birthday, go out with friends etc), add some hobbies (gaming? Rock climbing? Whatever floats your boat, it still takes time)...

I would burn out faster doing all this shit than postponing my cleaning until someone visits. I try to weave in some chores between the essential stuff, but it always adds up and I need to spend a weekend catching up.

Cât and lion are different species, traffic cone and butt plug could very well be the same plastic.

Hot take: no it hasn't. Because the alternative is you don't mark interactive objects. And then the stairs are somehow blending in with the background because of some color choices, or the day/night cycle makes you miss some object in the dark, or the ring you're supposed to get for the main quest is lost in the grass and can't be found etc.

And you know what you get then? The least immersive option in the world: the player can't find the thing they're looking for and can't progress, so they log off and post a question on a forum and they continue to play in a day, when they receive the answer. I don't think that's more immersive than marking the object.

Holy shit, if that's how they wanna play this, God's telling me to shoot some insurance fucks.

I just don't go places

Shit inside his mouth, let's see him say stuff then.
