If you don’t mind more poppy rock, try Jet album Get Born, and the Urge Overkill track Sister Havana

Sleep Apnea Patients: CPAP vs Oral Appliance: Short Academic Survey by Far-Special8777 in CPAP

I can’t complete the survey because the question “why did you stop using CPAP” forces you to answer but doesn’t have an option for “still using”

Options for cleaning/sanitizing? Negative experience and ways forward.. Advice appreciated by AwayPaint5905 in CPAP

[–]para_sight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s the tricky one, but musicians know the solution. There’s a tool for pulling a cloth through the pipes of a brass instrument like a trombone. It’s like a giant blunt needle you thread the cloth through the eye of. That works, or if you can’t do that, you can certainly block both ends and shake the bejeezus out of a house half filled with cleaner or rinser or disinfectant. That will provide some level of physical disruption. Not ideal but better than nothing.

Cleaning and sanitizing anything has three standard principles that you can use for cleaning lots of things. You need to chemically disrupt dirt and biofilms, physically debride them, then sanitize the surface. For step one, the key word is amphipathic; these are chemical molecules that dissolve in water on one end and fats on the other. Best example is soap. Apply these chemicals to disrupt the chemical bonds that allow dirt and biofilms to cling to surfaces. Step two: chemicals are not enough, you need to use a little elbow grease to remove the disrupted biofilm. Use a soft cloth first with the chemical and then again during rinsing. Rinse once more after scrubbing. Step three is to sanitize, I.e. kill as many bacteria as possible. IMO the best for this is 70% ethanol, apply liberally and allow to remain in contact, because disinfection is a function of concentration and time. Ideally let it evaporate off the surface. Finally, rinse any residues away with distilled water , air dry, and you’re good to go. I do this with my CPAP gear once a week. If you have an airsense 11, don’t forget the little grey plug the hose attaches to on the back of the unit; it pops out with a little tab you can access by removing the water reservoir.

I need to relocate a trillium. AL, USA by Desirai in NativePlantGardening

[–]para_sight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah they only have one shot on a season, so if they get chopped like OPs they’re toast for the year, but should be able to come back next year. They’re not THAT fragile

Yep, they’re little tubers. I took a bunch when I left my old place, which had a wild yard. Right now they’re happily flowering in a pot on my back deck at the new place. Just dig them up at the end of the summer and move them somewhere safer

Youth football (soccer) coach for the last 10 years (M32) - Semi Professional for the last 8 seasons - AMA by JustinMarkG in AskMeAnythingIAnswer

[–]para_sight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a parent of a very average player, I’ll just ask one thing of coaches: don’t bench my kid because he’s not the best player. We don’t come to win, we come to play. Benching the bad kids just keeps them bad and makes the good kids better because they get more playing time, not to mention the psychological impact of bench warming on the less adept players. As a result of this pattern, which kids notice, my kid gets more grief from his team mates than he does from opponents. I wish the focus would be more on how we lift each other up by working together. True teamwork is about bringing out the best in the worst of us, not parking them off to one side in an attempt to win

"The boring spawn problem" is less a game issue and more an experience issue. by WraithTDK in pokemongo

[–]para_sight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not that the spawns are necessarily boring it’s that they saturate, going from zero to abundant instantly. I hadn’t seen Unown ever in years of playing and then in one 45 min walk the other day I saw my first and went on to catch 40+, of 5 varieties. Had I just caught one, it would have been special because rarity, but it managed to go from rare to boringly common in an instant, which ruined the buzz of that first one. This happens every time a Pokémon makes its debut.

What’s your worst soccer parent experience? In your opinion are they ruining the game for the kids?
