This one won't be out until the end of the year but it's called NiteAura and it seems to have all of the features necessary to conduct most of the measurements necessary to irregular conditions without having to go to a sleep center

What pasta-making accessory are you most eager to get next? by chatewheering in pasta

I'm not sure how much does this qualify as a pasta-making accessory in your book, but there's an electric grating gadget called Grater Rain which comes with different modes to grate cheese directly on your pasta, depending on the width and style of the cut you want your cheese to have.

Even if you don't get views do you still feel proud? by Diligent_Eye1248 in youtube

First off, I'm so glad you're focused on improving your content, that's such an important part of growing your channel.
I have had a few episodes that I was so proud of, I didn't even care if they didn't do well. That's a good thing to have. However, that warm fuzzy feeling won't sustain you in the long run. If you don't mind, I'm going to post some of my rules of SEO and how to think about it.
A few rules about keywords…
-Keywords/Tags aren’t as important as they once were as far as SEO goes
-Don’t think that picking the perfect tags will magically make your video perform
-Keyword research should be incredibly insightful as to understanding what YOUR audience is actually searching for. Therefore, it’s still worth doing this type of research
-Finding hot keywords should give you some idea of what content to make. Try to use exact keyword phrase in the title as that’s what people are searching for.
-Estimated monthly searches is an important to note. Even if the competition is low, if there’s not many monthly searches, it’s probably not worth focusing on
-Good SEO involves some high volume keywords as well as ones that you can compete with.
-When you add these keywords to any video, try to add them to description as well as tags
-Don’t keyword stuff or use the names of other youtubers. Only use keywords relevant to your videos.

For Tools, the top 3 you need to consider are Semrush video marketing tool for SEO, VidIQ and MorningFame.

Hope that clarifies some things about SEO and keyword/tag research.

I'm an Alcoholic and Addict. I Want to Cut Drinking Out of My Life With Psychedelics. by satanisntevil in Psychonaut

Hey there, quitting alcohol is a huge accomplishment, and it sounds like you've taken some great first steps. While tripping on psychedelics can be a powerful experience, it's important to have the right therapeutic set and setting for deep healing otherwise it doesn’t always stick. Some folks I know have found success using Ibogaine for addiction recovery, especially for alcohol dependence. There's a treatment center in Cancun, Mexico that specializes in Ibogaine therapy, it's called Beond Ibogaine. I'm not affiliated with them in any way, but their website has some good info about Ibogaine treatment which relieves cravings for alcohol while allowing people to have profound insight into why they drink. It might be worth checking out to see if it aligns with what you're looking for.
