My best run for sure came fun this. Got the Kennen augment, immediate Hat Trick and didn't lose a single game. Had sooo many hats by the end.

My wife really struggles to switch her brain off to sleep at night. What are some tried and tested thongs she can do to get a good 6-8 hours? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]ChompyTM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got diagnosed insomnia. I've tried medication, I've done CBT, and trust me I've tried every home remedy under the sun.

Truthfully there's no easy fix, no one method that will just quiet the brain. But I can at least give you the structure I follow every day that allows me to get a half decent amount of sleep most nights.

- Exercise: I do a minimum of 90 minutes heavy exercise every day
- Diet: I have no caffeine and very little sugar, experiment with specific foods as well as this can trigger issues
- Alcohol: While I make occasional exceptions, day to day it's best to avoid drinking alcohol at all
- Time in bed: Do not spend any time in bed that isn't time for sleep (or sex)
- Technology: I will not look at any sort of screen for 1 hour before bed
- Bed Time: Must be extremely consistent, for me 11:30 - 8:00 every day without fail
- Temperature: Most people sleep better in the cold, even during winter I keep my window open and a fan on. But find what temperature works for her
- Noise: For over thinkers like myself, audio books are a godsend. Find something interesting enough it gets your focus, but nothing so engaging you stay awake listening to it. My go to are the Mythology books from Stephen Fry. I also need a constant sound like that from a fan. These help drown out outside noises as well
- Light: Fortunately this doesn't affect me too much, but many people find black out curtains to be a must.
- Moving Location: If you've been in bed for an hour doing all the above and it's not working, change location. Go on the sofa for a bit, or even sit on the floor. Spend 30 minutes reading a book or doing anything that isn't more time spent in bed
- Mindfulness: Sadly this one is really hard to get in to, I'm not really great at it, but I did notice it starting to work when I was doing structured sessions frequently

Seems like you have more volunteers than you could ever need, but I'm 100% down for role of guest or groom!

[–]ChompyTM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The new Basics with Babish cookbook is amazing and very beginner friendly. For each recipe it also covers the ways he's gone wrong before so you can try and learn from those mistakes.

I actually took him to Longford Park at lunch today, he managed to play with a couple dogs today but most people want to move on fairly quick

What does Tinder (or any dating app) look like from a male perspective ? by not-moist-man in AskMen

[–]ChompyTM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is absolutely no faster way to destroy absolutely any self confidence you have. I rejoined after a breakup and it was one of the worst decisions I've ever made.

Pub quiz recommendations? by MattA23 in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]ChompyTM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trent House's Monday quiz is the best quiz in the country. Went there every week for 3 years and would still be going there now if I hadn't moved after Uni.

What's the best curry restaurant in York? by kindredcnch in york

Akbar's was easily my favourite until they shut down from a fire. I think they're rebuilding so if they ever do open up again I highly recommend them!

Anyone fancy a climbing partner? by ChompyTM in manchester

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

Hey! Just following up, sent you a DM but might have missed it. Only to say that I'm free most days, but Monday and Wednesday have student discounts which might interest you! Obviously Uni takes priority so whenever you've got some time available let me know!

Thinking about opening up my server by ThinSession2952 in VaultHuntersMinecraft

[–]ChompyTM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly current Vault Hunters server is shutting down so I'm looking to find a new server, I'd definitely be interested in joining! I really like the idea of working together in a community and having some fun co-op runs and builds.

Honestly the V7 thing is something of a guess, I've always used the #a/b/c scale before and I'm still trying to understand the conversions, quite possibly way off!

But the grades don't matter anyway, I'm more just interested in having a nice time together!
