  • Mask you wear that inflates you slightly like a balloon when you sleep so you don’t suffer from periods of not breathing during the night.

    Sleep apnoea is the name of the condition it treats.

    It is quite nice to treat it. It may reduce the amount of days you wake up and feel like you never slept.

    Sleep apnoea also increases risk of heart attack and stroke.







  • A thousand times yes. My (m) partner (nonbinary) was, for years, in a disaster of a relationship where, among other issues, they felt trapped into cooking dinner every night. They had made a deal with their girlfriend that they would cook and she would clean up. She stopped cleaning up consistently. However, my partner is a stubborn person who has trouble ending their own side of a deal even if the other person breaks their part.

    I have therefore resolved never, ever to ask them to cook, or even ask questions about what they’re having for dinner, to avoid this becoming a problem in our relationship.

    However, they actually love cooking. We’re both autistic, and cooking is one of the things that calms their brain.

    They offer me dinner almost every night. I’m eating good, nutritious food most of the time now. I’m losing weight (which I need to do).

    I do offer to cook or order delivery if they are particularly exhausted, and I have made it quite clear that I’m happy to be asked to do so, since I never had that problem.

    It’s working great. If our relationship goes bad, at least it won’t be for that reason. Doing well so far, almost a year in.









  • We might be able to get the left-libs on board by using tax incentive structures and laws to make it way more attractive for big investors to seek steady profit levels, which would also reduce the necessity to nationalise companies. Windfall taxes are one way, where you take almost every piece of profit above a certain ceiling.

    Obviously we should still nationalise natural monopolies like Amazon and Google. Internationalise them, even.
