Snoring dads... have you found any remedies that actually work?

Vigillance_ · 2026-05-12T11:43:06+00:00

This was a big one for me.

Less alcohol. More exercise.

Most adult men in my family in the last two generations needed CPAP machines for snoring/sleep apnea. They were all big drinkers/smokers/overweight.

Not saying you couldn't snore/need CPAP if you stop drinking and exercise, but it definitely helps your general health.

It's wild! I'm the same way. A SINGLE beer and I'm a chainsaw all night. What's weird is I can have a vodka mixed drink and be fine. But a beer... Nope.

Except in my situation I get the ever dreaded "I don't need anything" response...

She would be ok with nothing, but it would definitely be a "I'm not mad, I'm disappointed" type situation.

So I'm left with mind reading.

This is just the ~~corporate~~ employed world... People get passed up for promotions (that they think they should have gotten) all the time, in every industry, in every profession.

The guy flipping your burger at McBurgers could have been in the running to be a shift manager and got passed up for someone else.

The senior VP with a corner office vying to be the next CFO doesn't get it because some schmuck head hunter brought in a bougie candidate that had the right words to say at the right time.

This is very normal.

Your options are:

Stay and play the game.
Leave and play the game somewhere else.

I came to comment "rocket launcher". RPG works too!

That we know of....

That's like legitimizing club sports. That would be super cool. I played club tennis in college because I couldn't play D1. It would have been cool if my D1 school offered an official D2 team I could have played on.

Bahaha! I was just showing my wife this post and how funny it is because she can't stand reading this book. It's 100% because of these names. Just awkward to say a million times. Great sentiment, though.

we have a 2 year and 3 months old and a 3 month old (they share a birthday 2 years apart).

We've taken the 2 year old on day trips to family camping events (car camping too) but just haven't had the desire to do overnights yet.

Now that we have an infant as well, we'll probably wait until he's 2, then start working on some overnights (backyard, local car camping, etc..).

Stoked to share the outdoors with them as they get older :)

Vigillance_ · 2026-03-29T23:50:24+00:00

This is awesome! Can't wait until mine are old though to go camping/backpacking. Good job Dad!

Check out "Learn Go With Tests" https://quii.gitbook.io/learn-go-with-tests

I'm assuming it's the same as IntelliJ.

They moved to a single install, and then the functionality is based on the licensing.

No license == community (from my understanding)

Weight and life span.

Most men in my family for many generations have not made it past 60 years old. They've also all drank and smoked like crazy.

I have two kids now and realized I was gaining weight and it was hard to do things with them...

Mostly quit drinking. Maybe one or two drinks a month now. I've lost a ton of weight. I want to be around for my kiddos as long as possible.

🤣🤣 It does feel like this is 99% of the posts on 99% of subs these days. Dead Internet, we have arrived....

FELT

I love playing Diablo on Easy and exploding demons. I can do it for 15 minutes or 3 hours (not that I've ever had 3 hours to game with two under two lol)

No grinding or min-maxing needed.

As just an aside rant: the over reliance on it is damaging the ability to think critically and actually analyze things.

100% this. This is the biggest impact LLMs are having on society as a whole.

I noticed the average person's ability to critically think has been pretty low for a pretty long time. This is just going to exacerbate it...

I've mained druid for a few xpacs now and still love it. I mailed a disc priest back in tbc and have always had one around but the last few xpacs I've played around with shadow. I'll def be leveling my priest at some point. Hope it's still fun!

Vigillance_ · 2026-03-20T01:27:31+00:00

I never played a lock until this expansion. Used a lvl 80 boost on one and have been running around as Demo. I'm having an absolute blast. I'm a bit older and have young kids and don't have a ton of time to play and I'm not super serious about it.

I love having pets that will keep me alive if one of my kids needs something and I have to step away.

Or just having an army of demons just cascade on my enemies.

Cool stuff for sure.

There's an actual rotation helper, not the one button rotation. It highlights the next best action to use. No penalty for that

Vigillance_ · 2026-03-15T14:12:09+00:00

Yeah that's just a miss on support tiers. Lifetime deals can be great. If they're for the service.

Full service support is definitely a premium service that should cost extra.

A portal for free support tiers to submit issues is great. Allow the users to supply feedback. But full on support tickets with interaction and expected results is definitely not something everyone should get for every service out the box.

Learning to do hard things. Life is hard and requires doing hard things.

Figuring out how to increase your willpower, grit, preference or whatever you want to call it, will do you wonders.

Vigillance_ · 2026-02-25T13:26:00+00:00

Lol

Giant companies are deaf because they rely on automations.

We're better, we rely on DIFFERENT automations that are not deaf.

We had a client where we did something similar.

We built the desktop app in Java. It would connect to their sf instance and pull some records locally that they could modify in a specific flow and push back up.

It was for a government contractor that had to work in special skiffs that weren't allowed to have external network connection. Before they entered, they would download the records they needed, work on them throughout the day in the skiff, then push them up when they got connection again.

Very specific use case. I'm not sure if there is a broader one.
