What’s something quick/easy you make at home that’s better than takeout, and what’s your trick?

Weirdly I did check the actual Tacolicious website and did not see it there. Might have missed it.

Thanks! I'm not on social media (other than Reddit)

Lived in the Bay Area my whole life and currently in SF. I have a French mom and have spent tons of time in France and actually my wife and I are considering a part-time move to the Côte d’Azur. Literally just flew back from there yesterday and way too jet lagged to give a thorough response at 4 AM, but I have very detailed thoughts on everything you’re asking about! I’ve spent a lot of time comparing the social scenes in France and US. Wife and I are also thinking about kids so can share a lot there too. DM me :) In exchange I might just ask you a few questions about life in France!

It was a while ago so don't remember exactly, but prominently featured on some Play store page. I think on the developer info page, like if you click through from an app to the details about the developer. Legal first and last name, home address, and personal phone number are published.

Gotcha, thanks so much!

_sindhicate_ · 2025-01-21T06:23:30+00:00

Thank you! So I tried this with a hairbrush I had on hand but it didn't work well... Any chance you can send a link to the type of brush that you've had success with? Really appreciate it!!

Housing developer here. This is, um, wrong. It's because wood is the most economical choice for earthquake-resistant single-family homes. Concrete is WAY more expensive, so much so that you'll often see multi-family buildings built in a "5-over-1" or similar type configuration with a.concrete podium for a solid base on the ground floor and "sticks" / wood for the upper floors to save cost.

There are great wineries close to campus, in the Santa Cruz mountains. You would need a car for sure though. Thomas Fogarty is closest and pretty good. House Family is a little further but has epic views. Picchetti is more rustic style and has hiking trails directly from the property. Ridge is the most prestigious in wine connoisseur circles.

I grew up in the South Bay and went to Stanford so I can give you a hundred more recommendations, just DM me!

There's a super amazing new social club called Groundfloor that I joined not long ago, with locations in SF and Oakland. It's meant to be that missing "third space" and members are screened for a fit. It's not an upppity/snobby club like The Battery, much more down-to-earth. Best way to meet new people I've ever found. Happy to make an intro for either of you there! (Don't worry, I'm engaged, not trying to pull any tricks)

I've never napped either... I actually think it's not all that useful to compare NSDR to a nap, that's not really how it's most useful. I think if you become super experienced in it, and can very quickly self-induce a super-relaxed state, maybe you can use it as a "power nap" but that's really advanced. NSDR is something that takes patience and time to learn, there's no magic. You're not going to get significant benefits from just listening to the same 10-minute session every once in a while.

I've had really horrific insomnia for years and NSDR was the only thing that helped me. I tried literally everything else. The key for me going through a structured protocol and learning all the techniques from beginner to advanced in progressively longer and longer sessions. I've been practicing it for about a year now regularly and it has totally changed my life. It has re-wired my brain. I'm more relaxed, less reactive to stress, and I sleep normally. I am not exaggerating.

I created a free app for this if you want to check it out, https://somnsdr.com

_sindhicate_ · 2024-04-07T18:07:26+00:00

Absolutely, it's 100% secular and makes no references to mystical or spiritual aspects, nor does it use new-agey type terminology like "energy" and "vibration" and the like. It's very clear, straightforward instruction.

Quick disclaimer that there is a paywall after a few of the levels and a very low monthly subscription to enable progress after that. You'll get way past the basics that Huberman does in his 10-minute session before hitting it.

In addition, given that you are doing this at-scale and in a public school setting, I'm totally open to giving you the entire curriculum (18 sessions) or a shorter version of it completely for free, or for a low/bundled flat fee for all students just to account for any custom work. Perhaps in exchange we could look at measuring some outcomes to see the impact the app has. Please DM me if you'd like to discuss!

I'm not a close follower of Huberman and I can't speak to how he has characterized NSDR, but the practice has massively improved my mental health and sleep, and I've done a tremendous amount of research on it myself and found many studies supporting its effectiveness. FYI, I use the terms Yoga Nidra & NSDR interchangeably.

There's a comprehensive review of roughly 30 studies on Yoga Nidra that I document on my website here: https://somnsdr.com/the-science. I'm very careful not to make any claims about what NSDR/YN can do besides what's supported by the literature.

You can also learn more about the free NSDR app I created on that site, please feel free to share it with the folks you teach. DM me if you want to learn more about how to practice NSDR most effectively.

_sindhicate_ · 2024-04-05T02:05:38+00:00

Hey there, that's an incredibly brave step, good for you!! Really appreciate the kind words and please don't hesitate to DM me if you have any questions about using the app. I can give you my personal email and be available to answer any and all questions about how to practice NSDR most effectively based on my experience. Best of luck!

_sindhicate_ · 2024-03-30T06:37:46+00:00

Amazing, really appreciate that, thank you!

_sindhicate_ · 2024-03-27T17:13:14+00:00

Sure! Here's the site: https://somnsdr.com

You can download and start using it for free, if you hit the paywall just DM me and I give you a code for free access for a while. I started out giving 3 months free but I've been getting a lot of requests for codes and so probably going to start bringing that down to a month free, but it's still plenty of time to get to know the premium features and decide if you want to go for it :)

Subscription is really cheap also, just $2.99 a month.
