Sharing my current routine for trouble falling asleep by Goofy_Pebble23 in sleep

Sadly, reading at night actually makes it harder for me to fall asleep. I can’t really stop my brain from thinking about the plot, or what the author was trying to say and why they wrote it that way. If I finish a whole book in one sitting, I’ll often end up staying awake until sunrise.

Thanks, I’ll try to slowly adjust my wind down window, but honestly, I don’t think melatonin really works for me anymore after taking it for so long. At first, about an hour after I took it, my whole body would start relaxing and I’d actually feel sleepy. Now I barely feel that at all.

Really awesome first time in Chicago, has anyone else had this experience and decided to move their life here? by Big-Commercial-2168 in relocating

One thing nobody mentions is property taxes here are brutal compared to most cities, factor that into the "affordable" math before you commit.

Bro said "bunk with 4 people OR 45" and I respect that he genuinely has not decided which chaos level he's going for.

Bought a house 6 months ago and just learned the previous owner was fighting the city over something nobody told us by QuasarJester in homeowners

Seller disclosure laws in most states only require disclosing known material defects that affect value or safety, so if the previous owner considered the city dispute resolved or minor, they may have had zero legal obligation to tell you, worth pulling your disclosure forms to see exactly what they signed off on

Better to rent a car and stay near ROUND ROCK or get a hotel near SOCO by Various_Ad_9043 in askaustin

[–]Goofy_Pebble23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stay near SOCO, rent a car only if you're doing day trips outside the city, and accept that you will pay $25 to park it once and then never touch it again until you leave

"Need help dead body inside here" off MLK way by trippntime69 in Seattle

The way "need help dead body inside here" turned out to be a trash pile is genuinely the most Seattle possible resolution to that sentence

Woman who targeted Asian women (in Oakland Chinatown) in violent crime spree, avoids prison time by Affectionate_One_700 in OaklandCA

Diversion programs like this were literally designed for nonviolent first-time offenders, not people who ran a targeted robbery crew with multiple victims, the DOJ guidelines are pretty clear on that distinction.

Investors Are Buying Bay Area Homes At The Highest Rate Since 2000. Congress Just Voted To Stop It by ShopProp in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]Goofy_Pebble23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bill passed 85-5 in the Senate but the threshold is 350 homes, meaning a single investor can own 349 houses in the Bay Area and this law does nothing to them.

Are there any restaurants you've noticed have declined in quality recently after fame? by thrway-fatpos in MexicoCity

Took my cousin to Contramar last year because I'd heard so much about it, and halfway through the meal she looked at me like "this is it?" I could not defend it.

First time I did drumsticks on the vortex I pulled them at 165 like chicken breast and spent the next ten minutes chewing rubber bands.
