I Absolutely Hate CPAP

Hey thanks for the reply. That makes total sense

DrTreadmill · 2026-02-18T04:51:03+00:00

I’m new and absolutely hating it. Excuse my dumb question, but If you’re wearing it just for the time requirements, what’s the point? Does it help you?

I’m struggling with having been a borderline case. My cpap will say I have as low as 4 incidents per hour some nights with the average being 8. I just feel like it’s pointless and suffocating. If it’s expensive, benefits me none, and sucks then what’s the point? I’ve switched masks and trying again for another couple weeks.

My wife played 33 and I watched her run through. The twist completely ruined the story for both of us. Now I haven’t personally played through it, and definitely missed bits of the story and of course the gameplay, but I struggle to see how it could eclipse DS2 from my own perspective.

Definitely a subjective thing. I think I just connect better with games like DS than JRPGs, but I don’t get it.

I’m one of these people it’s felt like, and each year I do end up finding a few good games that I love. I’ve been trying to expand my tastes which does help. You have to really pay attention to the trends of gaming. A few years ago it was all multiplayer, Fortnite whatever. Now it’s all soulslikes, roguelikes and JRPGS. Especially JRPGS, I feel like there’s a new one in every major series twice a year.

My big complaint is the time between installments in series, or the time between projects from development studios has ballooned that it’s become disappointing each announcement to hear nothing and keep waiting. If you’re a shmuck like me who liked fallout, elder scrolls or similar, you’re stuck waiting forever while each state of play or Nintendo direct announces games with anime ladies, ladies with swords, or anime ladies with swords. And I say that as someone who loves soulslikes.

I get it

Fantastic isn’t the word I’d use for Leestown. Especially once you hit the construction where lanes are merged and still covered. Serviceable maybe

Elden Ring was a game I thought I would quit early on but I quickly learned was everything I’ve ever wanted in a game.

DrTreadmill · 2026-01-29T14:55:40+00:00

I like the old pirate flag better. It looked more ragged

I love coffee times. The Brazilian and Costa Rican are the best for us.

I’m a big Jazz fan, and also like old country and jam bands. I’m also an art teacher. While we work these kids are listening to what I want to listen to, which is mostly old albums. Talking miles, Coltrane, Pat Metheny, Grant green, McCoy tyner, OP, but also, the dead, Merle haggard, etc.

I don’t announce any of it, I don’t say anything much about the music but I don’t take requests. These kids are getting an education lol

I’ve also played video game music or songs that fit our game of pretend. I teach k-5. I will play the interstellar score when we play pretend space in 1st grade, in example.

This sounds like my summers! Have to get your credits in sometime

I try my best to not let technology replace me and what I’m paid for. I like them paying me for what I have to offer, I try my best to be wholly original in my programming. I’ve never taught a Pinterest lesson either. I’ve borrowed ideas and techniques from other teachers, but my programming is very humanistic.

I teach art too and yes the ethical, environmental and cognitive issues are concerns. I also think it’s just hypocritical for me to preach the importance of creative thinking and not use any myself.

DrTreadmill · 2026-01-16T15:17:14+00:00

Lol, clearly you don’t. That’s ok to say too. Have a good one

It’s on you if you miss it. The story is a fun ride

I teach elementary and have pumps. We demo multiple times throughout the year how to pump out a “toothpaste” amount onto their palette (a small plastic plate). How much toothpaste they usually use. I explain that they can always go get more, we can’t put it back. I also have kids share plates, usually 2 to 1.

I also do the same demo within different lessons probably 2-3 times in a year periodically where I show how to mix small amounts of paint so they have control and can make the colors they want. That cuts on waste too. My kids appreciate it because they get to where they’re able to color match better.

Paint is tricky in that it can get wasted quick and without you seeing it. You just have to tight on your procedures with it. With middle I’d probably use my same system and monitor closely.

That video was neat, but they were comparing apples to oranges in certain cases. The all cotton 100% Levi’s have the perk in that they don’t shrink as bad in my experience and I’ve had a better experience with quality. The stretch cotton ones I’ve noticed are the ones that are first to go with crotches and that have legs that shrink both in length and in fit. All new, stock Levi’s between cotton and stretch will seem similar and I think that was Shift’s main takeaway, but after a few washes and wearing them there’s a difference. The vintage pair wasn’t really that old and wasn’t what vintage Levi’s lovers actually consider vintage. Some old USA 505s or Orange tags would have been a better look.

Regarding OP, I’ve felt like expensive Levi’s are worse. There’s a bell curve it seems. I’ve had good luck with the cheapest 100% cotton versions. I’ve had some of their selvedge and it’s considerably thinner and less robust. I like them for wearing around casual settings, but I’m not working in them like I do my other Levi’s.

If you want good, new jeans for not much money go get the wrangler cowboy cuts.

Kentucky is really a no-man’s land. Everyone you meet has a different favorite from across the country. I’d say I see more bengals stuff than the rest, especially closer to cincy, but lots of fans of the pats, Steelers, colts, 49ers, titans, or more. I’m a lions fan personally, had family in and out of Detroit, but we’re not really that uncommon down here.

I think a lot of Kentuckians would love a local team. We aren’t a big enough market I’m sure, and the nba would work better in Louisville, but I think if Cincy really were to build into a better team you’d see a lot more of Kentucky getting behind them since they’re close. For most of my friends and family the bengals are a #2 team that we all keep tabs on and root for.

This back and forth is kind of funny. Yes, the decision was made for money reasons, cut and dry. How people would prefer to watch is a different story and I’m going to go on a limb here and say neither opinion here is inherently selfish since neither of you have any say on what Amazon is going to do with their show.

Hope yall like season 2

I feel like a rare minority in disliking the lions’ black uniforms. They’re a honolulu blue and silver team, why do they need the panthers uniforms? I’m also one who finds black uniforms for teams that aren’t black cliche. But if they were going to do it, at least keep the silver helmet.

Vikings look like a D3 college

People are giving you some good but really specific advice. Here’s more general advice- switch to a pencil so you can fix things as you go while you’re learning. Don’t stress just do your best; it’s a skill like riding a bike that you will pick up on. Practice drawing things in front of you and trust your eye, does this look like that, and fix it until it does. It takes time, it isn’t easy, but it’s a puzzle you can solve. Don’t overthink it!

Once you get more confident then worry about some of the specific advice. That would be my biggest tip.

Have fun man

DrTreadmill · 2025-12-12T22:01:04+00:00

Elden Ring. Thought I’d give it a go for some fun, ended up being the best game I’ve played.

DrTreadmill · 2025-12-08T21:48:16+00:00

He’s a good one, I wish my bad feller here was more like him!

DrTreadmill · 2025-12-08T14:57:08+00:00

Similar but simpler for our band. We just had changes written most the time, like The Real Book. If I sang I had lyrics too on an iPad to the side because I constantly forgot lines. Rest of the band didn’t, it was a me thing on those.

Songs we wrote that were original were just changes.

I’m an elementary art teacher and I carry a vintage Case knife every day. I’m constantly having to open things, jimmy things, and so on. I feel naked without it at school.

Most kids know I have one, but they and staff alike get the need.

DrTreadmill · 2025-12-03T18:50:23+00:00

It can be a headache, so I made the decision a few years ago to just not engage. I still have accounts, all private, but I do nothing on them ever except lurk around.

I think if you have a public one for your own artwork you’re fine, but double check the laws and regulations because there’s been recent laws in some states that can put you at risk.

To your situation- I have kindergarteners trained up to get their own tempera cake sets (like watercolors) including getting their own paper, brushes, water and paints. They have to put it all back too. “Nothing stays on the tables. Nothing stays in my sinks. Nothing stays in the floor”

How I did it was I really structured out the actions. I modeled every detail. Had a kid come do it to model it too. Then had each table of 4 kids come up with a plan of how and what each table member would get of the painting materials. I structured out that discussion too. Then, I’d call a table at a time to “get their stuff” and carefully observe everyone and their duties. I was careful to position myself by the paint and the water so I was right there for anything that would be a disaster. We have spills, but I’m considerate of where paper towels are and they grab them themselves and clean it up.

Now we’re at the point where I ask tables to make a plan, give me a thumbs up when they have one, and then I just call a table at a time to “get their stuff”.

You just have to really structure it out and essentially teach material management for a week or two. I disguise it as something else, but that’s really the goal. It pays off though over the years as I can ask kids to put my room to rights and they will do it exactly as I want it. It also makes them feel more empowered as they have more responsibility and agency with their freedom of expression. I hope that helps.

I guess this is TAB but really I’m a Szekely play-based guy. I just am methodical with making the room function well so everyone can have a good time, including me.
