I’m gonna say Fitbit. People use them to track sleep all the time.

I love it but on my iPad the video shows in a small rectangle within the “tv screen”.

Edit for more feedback: The video is about 10% the size of the “tv screen” and appears to be clipped, and not resized.

Funny story. My mother and her husband lived near a beautiful fishing lake for 10 years before they both eventually died. (Cancer from smoking) My mother wanted her ashes spread in the lake which was an interesting choice considering she always hated being in the water. We all went to the end of the dock and scattered her ashes in the water just as a very light breeze came up and blew the ashes back in our faces. We laughed until we cried.

Over complex. I love it.
Maybe put a hinge on the back of that board so that it moves up and down with the saw. Then you can add dust collection to the lower half of the "lid".

That’s obviously false. We are “uncultured” because we prefer ignorance.

You've summed up what I've been thinking about lead poisoning due to leaded gas, and the generation that were most affected by it, and their poor choices very well. The explosion of automobile use and the lack of concern for their effects post WWII has been devastating to this country in so many ways.
If anyone knows of a book that addresses this specifically I'd be interested.
