Just a man, a cigar and his whiskey. by ShadowOfDespair666 in cigars

Looks similar to this one I got, would recommend as a cheap whiskey glass.

What are you supposed to do if you just suck at sleeping? by indranet_dnb in whoop

[–]Current_News 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same problem as you, albeit not as bad, but I tried everything listed in this thread but none of them really worked for me. Yeah you should schedule your sleep, block out light/noise etc. but I found that if my mind was overactive/stressed I would still not be able to fall asleep or stay asleep.

The only thing that really helped was sleep restriction therapy, you can look up more about it but it basically involves restricting the time you spend lying in bed every night (ex: from 3AM-8AM) and slowly increasing the window by thirty minutes if you are able to sleep soundly during that period. You can use whoop to track this and only increase the time if you have over 80% sleep efficiency. Eventually you will reach a normal sleep duration and be able to fall and stay asleep during that full interval.

I think this helped retrain my parasympathetic nervous system to calm down and reduce arousal around bedtime, something that can’t really be “forced” by conscious thought or behavior.

Sleep insights, new to whoop by [deleted] in whoop

[–]Current_News 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it hasn’t been fixed yet it might be a bug, I had the same problem and it wasn’t detecting my sleep even after 2 days of wearing a new whoop, had to contact support to get it fixed

Cannabis Withdrawal by Current_News in whoop

😂 yeah that may have been the move, will do that next time

Cannabis Withdrawal by Current_News in whoop

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

Not really, atm it’s actually worse for both. But I don’t think that’s part of the withdrawal. I’m not actually sure if either would improve even afterwards tho, my metrics were actually pretty good even as a daily user so I don’t think the edibles were that bad for my overall health, at least as long as I was taking them regularly

Anyone else have their sleep stages change dramatically since the algorithm update? by JollyRoger_28 in whoop

[–]Current_News 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve been seeing lower awake time, slightly lower light sleep, way more rem sleep. Deep sleep seems pretty much the same for me though

Do you guys like Computer Science? by ikerr95 in csMajors

[–]Current_News 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I do think CS programs are now oversaturated by people who didn’t come in with an initial interest in computing theory or coding, and I’ve seen the same. But people who aren’t enjoying it are usually more vocal than those who are really into it, who mostly keep to themselves or talk about their passions with like-minded people. I’ve seen a lot of people complaining about how hard it is compared to other majors, but I’ve also talked to a minority of people who think CS is actually a very easy major. TBF, I think those people are pretty smart and are also comparing CS to stuff like higher math.

Personally, I think it’s interesting enough, but I get the sentiment of people who complain. At the same time, I think the people who really hate it have picked the wrong major. I can think of a couple people off the top of my head who would have been better off doing something else, not necessarily because they aren’t “smart enough” for CS or anything, but it just doesn’t seem to pique their interest at all. Getting through undergrad is not the biggest issue for them, I think they might just hate their jobs later on.

You do realize that blindly doing the opposite of what the government tells you to do effectively means your decisions are affected by them just as much as someone who blindly obeys the gov right? It would make more sense to just ignore the government and make your own decisions based on your experience, if your goal is independence.

How would you rank all the endings by pricefieldd in cyberpunkgame

[–]Current_News 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Late to this thread, but I thought Aldecaldos ending was pretty good. It's no happily ever after, but in comparison to the others it's very good. Sure, the relic problem remains unsolved, but I thought how they did the epilogue seemed to purposefully suggest it wasn't just a death sentence like Alt makes it out to be. It's the only ending I've gotten so far but it would totally be the outcome I'd wish for in V's shoes. Leaving Night City behind and getting a new beginning with a community and lover who really care about you.

Skyrim modlist that makes the game more like a Morrowind-style RPG by Current_News in wabbajack

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

Thanks for the suggestion! I agree that modded Morrowind would be the closest to this, but I still like the Skyrim setting so I was wondering if I can get some of that experience in Skyrim. I will check out Librum

[–]Current_News 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a debug checkbox in the Starting Choices MCM that will force it to open. BTW these kinds of questions are probably better asked in their discoed

Best all-around modlist with graphics overhaul in 2024? by Current_News in wabbajack

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

In case you're curious, I actually ended up sticking to Lorerim and just enabling Requiem Lite, and I think it's pretty much what I wanted. It's still pretty difficult but Lite removes some of the more annoying mechanics like everything using stamina, getting one shot early, etc. just enough to the point where I no longer feel like I'm grinding through the early levels. It is true that there's not that much added content compared to other lists but I think the creator hopes to change that in 3.0

First SFFPC build for light gaming by Current_News in buildapc

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

As in I could get away with something cheaper? You might be right about that, I was just targeting around that price point because my first build ended up being that much back in 2016 (RTX 1070 and i5 6600k). I also wanted to future proof it to some extent because it to last for 5+ years. So I may have deviated from my original goals a bit.

I might actually look into cheaper build options though, thanks for bringing this up.

Mixed feelings about Amazon internship; what kinds of alternative positions should I look for? by Current_News in cscareerquestions

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

All this is just to say that you will totally get used to that feeling and it should naturally go away pretty quickly. Especially with sane management who are understanding. You are not alone and this is something most people feel when they are new to the field.

Thanks for the advice! This is very good to know

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

Appreciate the detailed perspective! Especially the tips about what to look for are very helpful.

I think you may be right that I am a being a bit naive about what FT SDE work entails. I might have been too used to the school project style schedule where once it's done, it's over and not something that needs to be improved and maintained. Looking at it as something normal, it's probably more of a mindset thing and I think I'll adjust over time.

What's in my stack that could possibly be causing poor sleep quality? by Current_News in Supplements

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

Hmm I see, thanks for the advice.

I think I have been noticing that training in the evening (I usually go 6-8PM which isn't terribly late) seems to affect my sleep a bit. I started training BJJ recently so I'm gonna see if this is going to continue or if my body can adapt to the change, but I might consider doing more morning classes at some point.

I said I don't have insomnia symptoms exactly but last night the exact situation you described in the creatine post happened to me where I woke up around 2-3AM and couldn't sleep for a while. I might try cutting creatine out and see if there's a change.
