Comment on It's impossible to evaluate your sleep with only one number in ~health

After it showed negative, then I went in for the overnight sleep test with the multiple sleep latency test the next day. That ruled out narcolepsy type 1 and 2 but I was given the diagnosis of idiopathic hypersomnia. In the MSLT's 5 nap sessions I fell asleep quickly enough each time but never hit the REM stage. Even though it was assumed that apnea wasn't the issue they still had to rule it out with the take-home test.

Comment on Swedish black metallers Watain have announced that their upcoming eighth studio album will be their final collection of new material in ~music

I greatly enjoy so much other stuff that's similar but there's something about Watain that just doesn't do it for me. Like 0x29a eluded to, I'm also not a fan of them due to their on-stage Elon "salutes".

I was a noisician years ago and have wanted to get back into it. I realized lately that I want to get more into the DIY aspect, so this should be a good starting point.

I was just telling a friend who's 12 or years younger than I am about how it was playing the first Legend of Zelda when it came out. I was a kid who got an Atari 2600 and then got an NES when I was in early elementary school. Seeing how massive and immersive Zelda was at the time was stunning. I never ended up finishing Zelda until I was in late high school but I used to just vibe out exploring in Zelda. This time playing Elden Ring I've decided to do it in a similar way. I still get scared going into boss fights because I'm not actually gud, but I'm really having a good time. Elden Ring is a masterclass in the feeling of discovery, and it's easily the game I've played as an adult that gives me similar feelings as Zelda did as a kid (Skyrim was also up there).

It's been pretty interesting since I've been figuring out which modules I prefer to make cool-sounding drones and noisy things.

BuckWylde LinkI look at peoples' yards and trees. I usually take my dog to a park nearby that has huge Doug firs. I also just look at my dog because she's adorable.I look at peoples' yards and trees.

Comment on How do you practice self love? in ~health.mental
BuckWylde Link ParentDaaang. That hit hard. I was just talking about a similar thing with my therapist yesterday. The way you worded it made it sink in even better.At some point in the past year or so, all of the work I was doing on myself - the dieting, the exercise, the education - everything - was no longer being done because I hated myself, but because I loved myself. I had self-love for who knows how long and just didn't realize it.

I wish I could find more uses for the hobby because by just connecting to basic local repeaters all I've experienced is old guys talking about their setups. I don't really know what I expected. Getting a General license could at least give me the legal right to get into HF, which seems a bit more interesting since with the right setup you can directly hit across the globe.

BuckWylde LinkI had a couple of days last week of multiple Darkthrone albums in a row (like 6 or 7) while playing Warframe.

I did a listen of Klaus Schultze's first four albums yesterday while working on an electronics project - very fitting.
Also, I came across The Sad Realm Of The Stars by Odium along with Epitome Of Illusions by Limbonic Art. They're both synth-heavy symphonic Black metal from the 90s. Once I get into that mood I can't get enough.
