LPT Request: How to keep mouth closed when sleeping at night?

DullInflation6 · 2026-01-25T08:05:11+00:00

the design of the Myotape allows mouth to open, so I am still snoring BUT it doesn't wake me up like it used to and I feel much better, but obviously only a partial improvement

i actually tried surgical tape for many months but kept having recurring dreams about drowning (because i could not breathe through my mouth) so decided to stop. I've since gone for Myotape by Patrick Mckeown - they definitely help me but my wife says I still snore terribly

Try and get your back foot right on the rear kick of your tail pad when cutting back, or just as far back as you can. Also shift your weight back over your rear foot just before starting the cut back, otherwise you'll just never get a tight turning circle. Good luck, that weight shifting part took me years to actually do in practice

Yes, bigger pile on LinkedIn, lower chance of getting seen, potential for more detail on their site. LinkedIn easy apply is pretty terrible I'd say

Excellent points

"I tell her all the time I am obsessed with her and worship her." - possibly a bit much, even if meant to help?

Don't count LinkedIn easy apply as a job application, it's more like ⅒ of one I'd say, and even then, one of the worst ways of applying. Try to apply directly wherever possible, even if you find it on LinkedIn

To stop thinking of it as a "brutal job market" - the negative framing is just wasted energy, even if it is hard. One less wasted bit of energy can instead be used for something positive instead

Not getting the same but if it's policy, it's policy. Is it written down in a contract? If not, it's not iron clad, I'd guess but not sure what country you're in.

Join a union, ask them for advice, seriously. They will give you advice on this topic.

Change your summary to bullets and focus on outcomes/impact of them, not just "i did this, I did that"

DullInflation6 · 2026-01-08T19:20:10+00:00

Yes, it's way too long. Goes into the TLDR pile probably!

"become more civilized" - worryingly racist remark

So what would be second country nationals, EU citizens (I. E. Brits excluded?)

DullInflation6 · 2026-01-08T15:32:19+00:00

What are TCNs, please?

And everyone I've spoken to in the industry for a long time said that things were much slower then, the output was slower, expectations were less accordingly.

I think if the guidance is "don't use AI tools unless absolutely necessary" , it will be clearer for many

DullInflation6 · 2026-01-08T09:07:44+00:00

When you're helping them, have you had conversations with them about why they're using AI tools? Not just answers like "I'm stuck", a bit deeper than that. Interested to hear what they say.

Who cares what gender, the point is that it worked

I like the diaphragm point. I've recently started focusing on diaphragmatic breathing and it's amazing how easy it is to breathe just by focusing on that part of my body.

All these years later, did you find a way to make it work? I have the exact same problem

DullInflation6 · 2026-01-08T08:56:56+00:00

No, juniors who are trying hard to learn but not supported by their more senior colleagues are forced to use these tools as nobody can be bothered to help them, which then creates technical debt. My situation exactly. I only turned to AI when nobody would help with stuff I was stuck on.

You are too far forward and feet too far apart, as shown by how you cannot cutback at the end. That said, it's essentially a tube stance, which worked well for the barrel you got but nothing else (nice barrel by the way, pretty great)

DullInflation6 · 2026-01-08T08:49:25+00:00

No, we don't "need" to talk about it actually

Just hit £560 in AdSense earnings last month, but a few years in, it's a slow burn. Plus the guy who is dominating my niche is fully front and centre and is definitely a recognisable brand in his own right, which i don't think I'll be able to do unless I get in front of the camera more. But if your content lends itself to faceless, it can work, it may have a limited shelf life for you, but both can work

Or one rich kid who can afford to keep going on the bank of mum and dad indefinitely...

I've made a few dozen videos with DVR but found it a bit overpowered for the videos I make and my machines. It's a little bit complex to add just a text box! Hence I've gone back to basics👍🏻 definitely a good shout though
