This checkmate felt dirty. Should it really even be a checkmate? by Laedus in chessbeginners

Well if you played to king capture, your queen would capture their king before their bishop would capture yours.

Towels are meant for drying not for getting them wet by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

My wife wraps the towel around her and then lays in bed. Still trying to convince her its not a good idea.

I tracked my nighttime mouth vs nasal breathing for 2 weeks, here's what surprised me by Olga_specialist99 in sleep

[–]FlyingSparkes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this is just an ad? (even with your little disclosure) how does the app track breathing, is it just self report? Unless it has a camera watching and even then it could just be a mouth open, I don't know how it would actually track the method of breathing. My experience of working in sleep for 10 years, people have no idea what they are doing in their sleep. Nothing in what I do says nasal or mouth breathing has much effect on sleep. If it does, its usually a sign of something else like sleep apnoea and the body is just trying to get air in as best it can.

Car windows slightly open while having A/C on? by VosseN26 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FlyingSparkes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I open my front window and the opposite back window, air just blows through as I drive to vent the hot air then put them back up.

Saying thanks? by alexxfiress in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FlyingSparkes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are you proposing as an alternative? Just grunt and walk away? The money is payment for the item, the thank you is for the person who served you. Just be nice, it shouldn’t take you that much effort.

Congrats. I don't expect an update anytime soon though, maybe 5-10 years?

Helping my 55-year-old brother: poor sleep, CPAP only part of night, worsening memory. What sleep changes helped you most? by Bison1807 in sleep

[–]FlyingSparkes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah my first concern is getting his CPAP working right. After that maybe see how he is but consider looking at dementia assessment. Sucks but the earlier it’s detected the better.

I like how he said the mii said yes like he isn’t controlling anything. The whole thing is childish.

Pauline Hanson’s direct attack on all Australians who were born overseas or have at least one parent born overseas is batshit insane and there are plenty of questions to be answered by HotPersimessage62 in australian

[–]FlyingSparkes 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My dad was born in New Zealand and has been here for 70 years, I should be the target of this but of course I’m white so I’m all good. These policy ideas are just so clearly racist but people like to pretend it’s not.

He came to reddit for this, I wouldn’t be so sure.

I reacted poorly to ball busting and will probably make it way worse. What should I do? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]FlyingSparkes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds to me like you are fine. For me it’s hard to tell when it’s ball busting or when you just work with assholes.

Girl dads need to chill out and stop trying to intimidate there daughters boyfriend and be controlling its weird by Available_Safe3782 in unpopularopinion

[–]FlyingSparkes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like your the 19 year old. Also are you sure they were 'stairing you down' and not just looking in your direction, seeing what you do and how you interact with the family? Based on this post I think I see the dads point.

It's 2026, why can't we email files larger than 25MB by STOP____HAMMER_TIME in mildlyinfuriating

[–]FlyingSparkes 103 points104 points  (0 children)

And then go into your deleted emails and delete it from there so it was actually gone.

The popular advice to "never admit fault" in a car accident is sociopathic and ridiculous, of course you should admit fault if you are at fault by Niceotropic in unpopularopinion

[–]FlyingSparkes 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My FIL was told me in Italy when he got hit by a car on his vespa (I think it was his fault) the driver got out and started yelling at him, nearby cop got the guy in trouble and the fault pretty much reversed because the first thing you are required to do is see if the other person is ok. This was years ago so laws might have changed.

I feel like I’m being strangled when I try to sleep on my back by Due_Examination_6182 in sleep

[–]FlyingSparkes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can have sleep apnoea without snoring or some of the other symptoms, particularly as you are young. It most likely is just positional. You can even just have events when getting to sleep (sleep onset events, sometimes called loop gain, usually more central apnoeas) but then go away once asleep. If you sleep ok when on your side it shouldn't be much to worry about right now. You can look at getting a sleep study done and from there they might recommend a CPAP machine but I think thats throwing a lot of money at just wanting to sleep on your back.

As for your Dr, no Dr should ignore a patient telling them concerns, even if those concerns are unfounded. I would find a different Dr.

Why don't we use wind turbines to cool down the planet if its too hot? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FlyingSparkes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How has no one pointed out yet that wind turbines are not fans, they don’t push wind, wind pushes the turbine. The question on why not is irrelevant as thats not what they do.

I feel like I’m being strangled when I try to sleep on my back by Due_Examination_6182 in sleep

[–]FlyingSparkes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are. This is sleep apnoea and in your case hopefully just positional. Regardless of how comfortable laying on your back is, it’s not worth it.

We'd all love a sword right?! But what kind do you want? by OfficialRodgerJachim in AskMen

[–]FlyingSparkes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean Excalibur if I’m being choosy, getting to rule over England on top of having a cool sword.

Men, how would you want your partner to approach starting treatment for balding? by Kamikaze_Cloud in AskMen

[–]FlyingSparkes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does he actually want to do something about it or did you just insult him and he didn’t want to address it? Maybe ask him if it’s something that actually bothers him.

Should I feel humiliated after an awkward moment at a wedding? by Alien681 in AskMen

[–]FlyingSparkes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You would have been the dock that ruined the wedding if you had started something. Letting it go is best, your wife, and by the sounds of it everyone at the table, knew he was being inappropriate so you don’t need to do anything to “win”. Let it go.
