  • I was curious too.

    After listening to a bit of the first and then randomly a few seconds of a few more songs, I agree. I don’t like my night time music to build up or go from calm to a sudden full orchestra.

    That being said, I did find one I liked, called Ricter:Aria (pt1).

    Personally I have a playlists of music that works for me. Some nights it helps, others I end up shutting it off. Everyone’s different.


    Beside music, there’s a lot of other external factors that could be affecting your sleep (ignoring internal factors, see a therapists or something for those).

    • Your pillow. is it flat and time to replace or too new and puffy). You might be able to toss it in the dryer on low for 10 mins to get some oomf back, that or it will explode.
    • bed. too firm, too soft, too old, sometimes flipping the mattress 180 so head side is now the foot side helps.
    • blanket. are you too cold without, too hot with?
    • PJs, are they too heavy, scratchy material?
    • room temp/humidity. Is the room comfortable, is there good air flow?
    • light, is it too dark, too bright?
    • does that goofy branch outside the window look a person?

  • The other lawyer in the case, Attorney Tom made a video going over what they are sueing for and some of the misconceptions.

    People have a claim due to lost profits and potentially missed business opportunities.

    Let’s Youtuber A had a sponsor affiliate and a spoken ad spot. Creator makes 2k for the sponsor read and 2% every time someone buys something via link. Honey swoops in and steals the affiliate link (regardless if the user got a coupon or not). The creator no longer getting the 2% and skews the success of the ad.

    The creator’s ad performance (ad to finished transaction) is down, so sponsor lowers the commission to 1% and 1.5k for the next video. Enough people use honey and the metrics are bad enough the sponsor doesn’t renew contract with the creator.

    On the consumer end, which due to arbitration clauses the lawyers aren’t actively pursuing (at this time) (see linked video).





  • You are correct, I should have said “Not a car, pedestrian or other obstacle in sight”.

    The problem is absolutely people not paying attention when turning; they’ll fixate on the traffic coming from the left, and the moment there’s a tiny opening they’ll floor it and ram into stopped traffic or pedestrians on the right.

    I would say its equally stupid to sit there with no car in sight. I guess this most often happens at night when little traffic. There are some light that seems to have a 60sec cycle and it sucks idling there for no reason. Roundabouts help, and over the last 10? years they’ve been appearing more.

    Telling people to use their judgment to decide if they can just go regardless of red is a bad idea. People barley handle the right-on-red as it is.


  • To offer a counter argument. Right on red the concept isn’t stupid, its stupid to just sit there when there’s not a car in sight.

    The drivers, shitty driver tests and 0 enforcement is all dumb.

    It’s supposed to be treated like a stop sign, you stop, look, and go when safe. Not roll through at max speed. People also don’t seem to know that a red arrow equals a no-turn on red sign.

    I’ve been seeing electronic no-turn on red signs that can turn on/off with the light cycle. So if the opposite lane has the left green, the sign tells you not to turn on red. One would hope they’re integrated into the cross walks too, (not that everyone uses those either).

    I think the us has the worse road tests, mine was just some suburbs with 0 merges, no highways, a couple stops signs and maybe a light. Pretty much anyone driving for a day could have passed that thing, and that’s how we end up with the bullshit like “the fast cruise lane (pass lane)” “right roll on red” “the merger has right away” “merge on highway 20miles(32kmh) slower than traffic” “blinker optional” “blinker on only when half way through turn or merge” “break before blinker” “wave of death on two lane roads” the list could go on and on…



  • I have a few methods.

    1. Post-it notes on the desk/wallet/steering wheel etc.
    2. Simple Note Multiplatform; android, windows, iphone, and everyone’s favorite mac linux. Like the name says, its simple and syncs. Operated or owned by same people behind WordPress.com and source is on github…although cloud synced I assume 0 privacy or backup.
    3. Notes I actually want long term end up on paper or a text document.
    4. Calendar events with email reminders.
    5. Email to self (has low success rate)
    6. Set alarm or timmer. The random alarm jogs my memory.
