I have narcolepsy so it’d happen uncontrollably, usually when sitting still without talking or moving. Like in a large meeting or presentation where I don’t have an active part to play. Sometimes a sympathetic colleague would nudge me awake. Somewhat career limiting but I was stuck with it for 30 years. I started on medication a year ago and it has been much improved.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Your arm is replaced with aprosthetic, you get a few gadgets with your new arm, what can your arm do?
3·3 months agoI’d look to Swiss army knives for inspiration. Knife, screwdriver, scissors, pliers. A light. Someone said phone holder… I’d have the phone embedded in the arm, positioned to be easy to see and access. Have the lock screen be various health stats: heart rate, Vmax, Time. Usb charging port… Be able to both charge the arm, and charge devices from the arm, maybe with a retractable cable ala cyberpunk 2077. Camera in a fingertip, ideally connected to XR glasses, so I can see behind or under things easily, able to be a microscope. Electric arc lighter in another fingertip.
My understanding was that the law was changed in the US so student loans couldn’t be wiped by bankruptcy, and the government then increased how much it could loan due to the security. Tuitions rose to meet the new supply.
As in, I wish to be the one who ends all wars. They only end when I stop them. Each one, individually.
Facebook started out as invite only for a few years so they might have been looking to emulate its early trajectory. Gmail also started that way.
Note that Crimea is not counted as Ukrainian in this map. Makes you wonder.
This one? https://github.com/crocodilestick/Calibre-Web-Automated It has an ingest folder you can drop all your books into and it’ll ingest and process them over time, if that’s of interest

Science@beehaw.org•“Nothing” doesn’t exist. Instead, there is “quantum foam”
1·2 years agoAh right. So, an alternative to dark energy and dark mass?

Science@beehaw.org•“Nothing” doesn’t exist. Instead, there is “quantum foam”
3·2 years agoSo I wonder, even if it’s only appearing very briefly it’s still going to exert some small gravitational effect. And who is to say the density of quantum foam is perfectly evenly distributed through the universe, within, through and between galaxies? Could this be an alternative explanation to dark matter?
It certainly feels like that at times. The key being the non verbal part, it’s the part that feels things i can’t explain, like I have to poke and probe some part of my brain by imagining, to try and see how it reacts to certain thoughts and observe the emotions, then try to put it into words to explain it to the conscious part of my mind. Like, the subconscious is not unconscious, it’s perfectly conscious just not verbal.
