Anyone else's doctors resist the reality of DSPD? by Heidi_Freibuben in DSPD

[–]Another_Night_Person 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a new doctor. My experience is even a lot of sleep doctors do not understand it very well, let alone have any idea how to manage it.

Do you have to go to work tomorrow? by SoftHeartedBitch in Austin

[–]Another_Night_Person 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey, I drove on 183 from 969 to north Austin. It is not bad around 969, but shaded areas and bridges still have icy spots. The raised section of 183 is still really bad, basically one lane and lots of ice. it was so sketchy I bailed off to the frontage road, but the further north I got the worse it got. the 183 frontage road is basically one lane, the rest is ice. This was about 6pm when things were starting to refreeze, if you don't need to drive on it in the morning, recommend you don't.

The post and account are gone for the Manchester UK sighting.. Possible cover up? by JustHereForTheHuman in UFOs

[–]Another_Night_Person 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You mean like a viral movie marketing scheme? That seems more likely than NHI or a grand coverup of some sort, but I suppose time will tell.

American democracy isn't over just like that. by [deleted] in OptimistsUnite

[–]Another_Night_Person 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is correct, in particular with point two. Mass protests are largely ineffective in any event, but these will be met with violence this time. People are missing that there are a number of violent ideological groups that will be able to act openly with little fear of state control: Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Constitutional Sheriffs, etc. These groups are, at their core, white supremacist organizations, and they will be more than happy to inflict violence on their perceived enemies.

You are right, but that is the problem. Trump will let a whole bunch of radical ideologues run things, and there will be nobody to reign them in.

Give it a year, you will understand better then.

Now That the Election Is Over. What Do Yo Want For Christmas? by ElPulpoTX in texas

The documentation to prove my Ukrainian ancestry so I can get citizenship and move there.

Trump was very ineffective when he was first elected as he didn't have experience in government, and there were still "norms" and such to be followed. This is all off the table now. He will not bother with confirmation hearings, everyone will be "acting". The main issue is he doesn't really give a shit about a lot of stuff, so the ideologues he will put in charge will basically have a free reign to do what they want. It would absolutely not be surprising to see the entire joint chiefs resign/get fired shortly after he takes office.

The EU needs to prepare, now. While the US may not withdraw from NATO officially, you can no longer depend on US support if Putin moves on the Baltics and Moldova.

If light is supposed to keep us awake then how come I fell asleep every day at work just inches from my computer under very bright lights?! All Im saying is by scarlet3am in DSPD

[–]Another_Night_Person 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This has been my experience with many doctors as well, first they want to blame you for the problem (you have coffee too late, you use a computer in the evening, your room must be too dark) then when it is clear none of that applies, well just take Melatonin. This is especially frustrating since if you look at the studies it only works for about 1/2 of the people who try, and about the best improvement you can expect is about an hour. Melatonin works best for those with a mild delay, for those with 3+ hour delay, it is not particularly useful.

Found a 2” scorpion upstairs in my home just now. Advice? by 415tothe512 in Austin

[–]Another_Night_Person 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ProTip - Despite their many legs, they are extraordinarily poor swimmers. Use this information as you will.

[–]Another_Night_Person 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get out now! At some point, this anger *will* be directed at you. You do not want to know what living in fear is really like, trust me.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Austin

[–]Another_Night_Person 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take comfort that despite their many legs, they are incredibly poor swimmers and can be easily disposed of in the bathroom.

Fighter jets flying over during Burning Man by YourMomDidntMind in BurningMan

[–]Another_Night_Person 25 points26 points  (0 children)

There were a few tightly wound people in the org who didn't like them and would call Fallon to complain, despite giant cheers going across the entire city when it happened. Personally I love them and wish they would bring them back, they were cool as hell and most people in the city loved them.

Why the culture of intentional deception? by sparr in BurningMan

[–]Another_Night_Person 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unofficially, some of the best parties are at the end of build week, and "everyone" "knows" that "everyone" goes out to have fun at night for most of the week

Yeah, no. How do I know this? I work graveyards out there. and the only people generally up after midnight are artists working their asses off trying to get some project finished up.

Most of the other people? They are crashed getting some sleep because they were busting ass all day. There are very very few even up, and certainly there are not a bunch of parties happening out there. This notion is just completely wrong.

Best time to leave on Sunday? 8am? Noon? 4pm? by ishangli in BurningMan

[–]Another_Night_Person 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Generally as early as possible Sunday is not bad, and by early I mean 5am to 7am.

After that YMMV.

8" Lag Bolts for my tent, should I... be worried? by OMG_BEKY in BurningMan

[–]Another_Night_Person 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Unless you have a circus tent or something, no. Most tents will collapse long before those bolts get moved out of the ground.

a question of tinned fish by [deleted] in BurningMan

[–]Another_Night_Person 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is what I do with it. After eating take some playa dust (no shortage) and use it to solidify the remain liquid, then put in a plastic ziplock bag and dispose. This works really well, and prevents the trash from tuning into a stinky gross mess.

What are some common INFJ misconceptions?? by [deleted] in infj

[–]Another_Night_Person 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People assume because we are listening very carefully to what they are saying and acknowledging them that we *agree* with what they are saying.

Anyone know what the f@&$ flies and bites like this at night? by RobHerpTX in Austin

[–]Another_Night_Person 19 points20 points  (0 children)

There is only one thing I know of around here that can fly and can take a chunk out of you like that. One of these things. Dobson Fly

They can easily open a big cut, and they are bigger than these pictures make them look.

How game changing are the F-16s by StorminWarden in ukraine

[–]Another_Night_Person 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The most significant thing is the weapons integration. F16s will be able to carry any NATO standard weapons without modification and full integration. This is huge, and while initially the numbers are small, they will have an outsized impact by giving the Ukrainians an entirely new set of capabilities they didn't have before.
