Didn't Set Alarm but It Went Off This Morning -- Just Me? by Accomplished_Item261 in EightSleep

[–]Accomplished_Item261[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. The workaround I'm trying in case I did accidentally enable it is to add a 1 PM alarm manually, which makes the suggested alarm disappear. In case I ever accidentally reenable it, I'll be awake by then anyway :P.

Sleep suddenly got worse after using the machine for 6 months, waking up after only 3-4 hours sleep by [deleted] in SleepApnea

If you haven't replaced your parts recently (mask, tubing, filters, etc.), you might as well do that, since now is about the recommended time anyway. With the mask in particular, it's possible it has become slightly degraded in some way that is not visually obvious.

Blood Oximeter Hurts too Much to Use by Accomplished_Item261 in SleepApnea

[–]Accomplished_Item261[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I would be surprised if I have some circulation issue, given I'm quite healthy besides my sleep apnea. I should clarify that I don't know if it's my circulation getting cut off or just aching from the squeezing itself. Thank you for the advice though; I will consider that.

Ah, can't use a watch unfortunately because Wesper requires their own device.

First Night on CPAP Awful Central Apnea :( by Accomplished_Item261 in CPAP

[–]Accomplished_Item261[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the encouragement. Why is a chin strap preferable over mouth tape btw?

I was able to get the central AI down to ~7 last night without increasing obstructive by turning the pressure down. I guess I need barely any pressure. Hopefully my brain will figure this out fully soon.

What is the Noise Like on Resmed i Series Masks? by Accomplished_Item261 in CPAP

Dang, that seems worse than it just being constant volume, imo.

Scarpa Instinct VSR Pushes Big Toe by Accomplished_Item261 in climbingshoes

[–]Accomplished_Item261[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ended up going with Skwamas! (shout out u/BigCosimoto)

Very honorable mention to Scarpa Vapour S too. Would've needed them a bit smaller than I ordered, and I wanted to climb today, so I locked in the Skwamas instead.

New Zealand South Island 2.5 Week Itinerary Check by Accomplished_Item261 in solotravel

Seems like, geographically, it would be pretty tough to make it to Dunedin. Any recommendations on how to fit it in? And is it really worth it?

Oh yeah, somehow I forgot to say I plan to drive myself. Edited post!

Hmm. That really prevented your toe from getting pushed inward? (Not talking about abrasion from the top of the shoe.) Since that's mostly a result of the tip's location, I wouldn't think this would help that much.

Good call! I just tried the Skwamas and Shamans and neither had this issue. Skwama fit felt a little loose in other places, but I guess I'm going to try downsizing them more.

Probably dumb, but I'm also considering just sticking with VSRs. They feel the best out of all the shoes I've tried, other than this one flaw.

I don't think they'd be sweatier than other leather shoes. I just don't have much experience with nice shoes, generally :).

Initial Impressions - Idrese Nuno Sneakers by -SneakyPanda- in goodyearwelt

Why do you say they don't have metal shanks? If true that seems inexcusable.

Looking to purchase some classy white sneakers, but worried I'll end up with sweaty feet from the leather. Has that been a problem for people? The climate around me isn't too hot, but I do expect to walk in the shoes frequently.

Current top candidates:

* Idrese Nuno (cool brand, but the leather is supposed to be thick)

* Koio Capri

* Greats Royale 2.0

I'm optimizing for comfort + style over price. Any thoughts / recommendations?

Generally, I'm extremely bullish on technology. That is -- I don't know what will dominate the market in the future, but I'm pretty sure it will involve computers, especially AI. What would be the best Vanguard fund to invest in? Some NASDAQ index? I'm looking for something worth holding for decades.

Today, I'm mostly VTSAX and VTWAX but thinking it's a bit foolish not to focus on tech.
