In medicine we are taught that the first line treatment for insomnia is treating the underlying illness—in your case, potentially depression— otherwise, CBT-i (cognitive behavioral therapy - insomnia).

So my first recommendation is to seek care from your physician for your depression.

Otherwise, there are well described self taught classes for CBT-i. I have told patients to check out the VA’s website for this: https://mobile.va.gov/app/cbt-i-coach

It is a lot of the sleep hygeine described in another excellent post hew.

The long and short of it is that Google has well documented instances of bribing/paying companies to not offer their apps on other stores, and Apple simply runs their walled-garden. Google deleted evidence of them doing this, which looks very shady. Also, the judge in the Apple case took an incredibly narrow view, something like “digital mobile gaming transactions”. So Apple’s 30% cut seemed to be in line with competitors.

Of course, I don’t think either should be allowed to do this, but the legal argument against Google is stronger imo.

Depending on your needs, if you want the most effective filtering for the price (though at the cost of noise) you could make your own https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corsi–Rosenthal_Box . I built one and found it to be great, but I did end up buying a commercial one through Costco years later.

I was quite lucky to see an i’iwi when I went to Kaua’i Hawai’i. Unfortunately only a couple hundred left because of avian malaria.

It’s interesting, it is becoming a modern day contronym

Someone with a uterus and a history of ovarian cancer likely isn’t a candidate for estradiol, but there are other treatments. Maybe estrogen + progestin to prevent unopposed endometrial proliferation. Though I hope OP can find a doctor who can help with hormone replacement if that is what his partner wants.

Hey, you’re finally awake

I honestly wonder if sortition is actually the answer.

What do these diagnoses have to do with learning? In my experience, these conditions can manifest in many different ways for people.

At the hospital I worked at there were no transmissions of COVID from known infected patients to providers wearing N95 masks (at least in the first 2 years, I didn’t keep up with it after that). So if you are wearing N95s you should feel quite confident that you are protecting yourselves without requiring behavior modifications from anyone else.

I do not think it is appropriate to talk about any details, but something somewhat adjacent to this is that a lot of my colleagues didn’t go into pediatrics because they hate dealing with parents.

Switched to smart mobas, I assume?

Would you ever recommend Factorio to someone who asked for a good 5 minute game!? One of my favorite games, but doesn’t fit the bill for me

I have a similar feeling about it. I think I would prefer the customization of KDE, etc, but GNOME just works for me right out of the box. I don’t think I change anything except the monospace font nowadays (in Tweaks). It works great and gets out of the way. For people who do not like the GNOME workflow I suspect it would be horrific because there is far less customization.

There is a fork of openboard with swiping at https://github.com/Helium314/openboard

Edit: you technically need to download the swiping library to keep it fully FOSS, but I am okay with that given there is no other alternative. Instructions on where to find a swiping binary are on the github

Edit edit: another fork of openboard with swiping here, but is less up to date https://github.com/erkserkserks/openboard

Of course, just look at how they dictated how states could hold their elections during covid

Overnight oats. Look up recipes, but you mix stuff together the night before and just eat it with a spoon out of the jar the next day. For optimizing the morning routine, nothing is simpler.

When I proposed, I went to a local jeweler and we talked through what kind of stones to use. We went with a beautiful sapphire that has a number of different colors in it.

I think their issue is that it misrepresents the magnitude of the funding. Less than 1% of their funding comes from the federal government
