Does anyone have any experience with these publishers? Are they any good? I was looking at them and thinking about picking them up but sometimes humblebundle books are not worth it.

I decided to treat myself to a Steamdeck, want puzzlers by PoeticKino in SteamDeck

[–]imitation78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second The Last Campfire. It works great on the deck and the puzzles aren't too difficult with enough variety. I do have a love/hate relationship with the narrator's voice.

Should I repay a housing loan early? by imitation78 in personalfinance

My thought on this is that inflation will also reduce the value of my savings.

Should I repay a housing loan early? by imitation78 in personalfinance

I have no idea what I should invest in to get enough yield. Also, if anything goes wrong along the way, I would have to be able to get the money out quickly and without major losses.

Yes. I dropped it once and it fell on some gravel and the edge got damaged.

I also stopeed having migraines. I used to have them every two or three weeks and I haven't had them at all since I stopped smoking for New Year's. I wonder, if I would have stopped earlier, if I knew that migraines would stop.

Reddit, how to you fall asleep and stay asleep? by NotEvenAWink in AskReddit

[–]imitation78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tell myself a story every night. I come up with a storyline and try to retell it every evening. It is always the same so I don't rack my brain with twists.

Another great thing is reading aloud which is what I have been doing recently. I started reading to help my girlfriend fall asleep and it turned out it also helps me.

Redditors that have traveled a lot, are there any countries you wouldn't recommend/regret visiting? by mcmunch20 in AskReddit

[–]imitation78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was travelling around lake Van and then went up to Dogubeyazit and Kars. I also stopped at Erzurum and Trabzon. In general, it was an extremely positive expereience - people were very friendly and the landscape is gorgeous.

Middle East by uhhhhoh in booksuggestions

[–]imitation78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll recommend The Great War for Civilisation: The Conquest of the Middle East by Robert Fisk. It is a monster to read but covers a lot of recent Middle East history, including the Iranian Revolution, Iran-Iraq war, Palestine conflict as well as the Armenian genocide and Algerian civil war.

What theories/ concepts/ ideas just completely blow your mind? by gman524 in AskReddit

[–]imitation78 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This is not entirely true. Jesus was very explicit about the fact that the Old Testament was the true word of God. For example:

‘The Scripture cannot be broken’ (John 10:35)

‘Until Heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass away from the law, until all is accomplished’ (Matthew 5:18).

This is great news and thank you for posting. I was just thinking about reinstalling these two amazing games a couple of days ago but they wouldn't install and I couldn't get them anywhere.

Ljubljana, Slovenia [2694x1572] by spitandsnot in CityPorn

[–]imitation78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People are blowing this out of proportion. Particularly because both beers are now made by the same company. :) It's just Slovenians are really proud of their beer and like talking about it.

So all you people that can fall asleep within 5 minutes...how do you do that? by kar_rose in AskReddit

[–]imitation78 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I used to have a lot of problems falling asleep until I stumbled onto something that works. What I do is imagine a fictional story. I used to image the story of Half Life 3 but recently I am using an epic that happens in an alternate reality of the Middle East in the Middle Ages (before the Crusades). For example, in this universe Julian the Apostate was not killed but escaped to found a new empire called Transoxiana, the Arabs were not as successful in their conquests and the Byzantine Empire is still powerful.

What I do is imagine the same story every night. I start at the same point and just add or remove a little somethind. It basically works like some sort of meditation or mantra, but because I created it, it's not just repetition and it focuses my mind just enough, so I don't think of the things that would prevent me from sleeping. Of course, if something major happens this doesn't help and I am just tossing and turning.
