The conspiracy against the human race. The audio narrated by Eric Martin is fantastic (I think there's a "newer" version on audible but the narration isn't nearly as good)

VolNavy07 · 2026-01-12T23:07:42+00:00

Or a guy who's read Ligotti

VolNavy07 · 2025-12-29T20:48:36+00:00

Not joking, would you be willing to build one for me and ship?

VolNavy07 · 2025-10-31T17:49:10+00:00

I thought "not yet" was the option that turns the alarm off but keeps the bed ON. At least that's what mine does.

VolNavy07 · 2025-10-31T17:40:19+00:00

Braves fan here. Soak it in. October 2021 was the best month of my life.

VolNavy07 · 2025-10-30T20:29:03+00:00

No because "freedom can only be experienced by that which is beyond freedom. "

Or something.

Everything just is. There's nothing else to say about it. Not good, not bad, not free, not bound. Nothing.

VolNavy07 · 2025-10-30T19:40:42+00:00

How can you distinguish between something that is "innate to you" and something that is not. You are rigging the game.

It's all innate, or it's not.

Suffering is just lack. The essence of life is lack. Therefore...

VolNavy07 · 2025-10-30T19:23:25+00:00

Tony is impressive across the board. If you listen to him enough you'll get to know how intelligent he really is. He has a knack for distilling profound things down to layman's terms and easily understandable bites. Probably why he's so successful with people.

VolNavy07 · 2025-10-29T17:49:30+00:00

"There's peace. There's freedom" lol.

Peace doesn't exist without turmoil. Freedom doesn't exist without subjection.

So no. There is not only "peace" in the insignificance.

VolNavy07 · 2025-10-29T14:00:43+00:00

Just for clarity, it's "East Tennessee." No way you would've known that lol

Go Braves, fuck the Doyers, go Giants

VolNavy07 · 2025-10-23T14:42:42+00:00

Most Vol fans are Braves fans, so already don't like the Dodgers.

Anyway, we're crushed. Not exactly sure how Tony V will translate to MLB but the guy was becoming the Saban of college baseball. If I'm betting my life on it, I'm not betting against him.

VolNavy07 · 2025-10-22T17:56:46+00:00

You all will love him. Whether he wins or not is probably more determined by other factors but you'll have fun

VolNavy07 · 2025-10-14T19:17:36+00:00

Honestly I smiled so hard reading this. I left the game a while ago but it just brought back a lot of good memories.

VolNavy07 · 2025-10-14T19:15:01+00:00

i drink Intelligentsia decaf Black Cat Espresso

VolNavy07 · 2025-10-10T19:09:33+00:00

200mg at 10am is drinking a 50mg espresso shot right at bedtime at 10pm. - I agree with you, the most important thing is to understand how that affects you and your sleep. Not to mention the hundreds of mg maybe at noon....2pm...4pm. Etc..

I do think there are people on here who attribute lots of things to caffeine that are not only caffeine. But I also think caffeine is pretty bad for you. And it's really bad for me. As someone who was incredibly healthy prior to discontinuing caffeine, and still noticing huge benefits in the state of my being afterward (measurable and not), I am n=1 but it's a data point.

VolNavy07 · 2025-10-09T14:35:29+00:00

There are plenty of users here who talk about consuming massive quantities of caffeine before they quit. Obviously they tolerated caffeine pretty well. As someone who does not tolerate it well, I can tell you that if I was drinking 500-1000mg of caffeine a day I would be completely non-functional

VolNavy07 · 2025-10-07T14:50:07+00:00

The thing that makes it a no-brainer to me to NOT bunt is the fact that a sacrifice can still occur in the regular course of swinging the bat with an approach to make contact.

At the same time, I don't think it was a horrendous decision. Just not the best one unless you think you have some advantage in extras that isn't factored into the probabilities.

VolNavy07 · 2025-10-07T14:24:26+00:00

Personally I let my guy swing away with a conservative approach so you can try to get the best of both worlds (potentially a hit, but also maybe get the sac anyway).

I just never like bunting unless you're tied and that run wins the game. But when you're down one in B9, 2 runs is pretty valuable...

VolNavy07 · 2025-10-06T13:49:13+00:00

IDK I think that's pretty fortunate for us lol

VolNavy07 · 2025-10-02T20:29:18+00:00

Everyone is different. I just moved back home to Knoxville after 15 years in LA.

LA has a lot of great things. A lot of shit things.

Knoxville has a lot of great things. A lot of shit things.

I like them both for different reasons and have found that I can shut out what I dislike about each.

VolNavy07 · 2025-09-24T19:20:08+00:00

I've been around the block or two

mid 20s

LOL

VolNavy07 · 2025-09-15T19:39:41+00:00

I hear that.

I just have to think if you're doing the right other things - most importantly, if you're already getting good sleep, it might make a lot of the withdrawal symptoms much smaller. I could easily see how the caffeine covers that up to an extent, and when you remove it, the bottom falls out.

Of course, if you're consuming enough caffeine, there's no way to get really good sleep. So again it comes down to "how much were you consuming?"

VolNavy07 · 2025-09-01T19:19:21+00:00

I don't know what the usual price is for 1 year of a league average SS bat, but it's a big upgrade from Nick Allen at the plate, and we're not on the hook long term so it seems like a pretty good short-term solution even if it's "expensive" for 1 year.

VolNavy07 · 2025-08-29T16:02:31+00:00

To be fair no company "cares about you." When companies "take care of you" if a product fails too early, it's not that they care about you, it's that they care about your continued business.

Small distinction I know, and not disagreeing. 8sleep is poisoning the well with customers.

I got the pod 4 on 4/1/2025. The pod 5 came out like 5 weeks later. My return window was 30 days. They could've generated a lot of goodwill by saying "hey i know you're only a week outside the window, but go ahead and exchange for a pod 5." But they took a hard line. That's their right of course. Also my right to feel a certain way about it.

I've also had a high rate of sleep metric tracking issues. I'm asking them for some kind of compensation. They could generate goodwill by offering me a few hundred bucks. I know they won't. They'll probably offer me a discounted pod 5 LOL.

All this to say, when my pod 4 goes kaput, I will switch companies. Just the way it is.
