Opus number 1, the call hold song.

Might become curious when you’ve been blowing on that same coffee for thirty minutes.

Strictly non-existential bread for me actually.

Low carb diet

I mean that i sleep normally now and have for over 5 years.

Annecdotally (and ironically because I just woke up from indigestion and cant sleep) I never had good sleep hygene until I took a nightshift job in college over the summers. Having to flip my sleep schedule by staying up somehow snapped my circadian rythym into being good and predictable.

Meditation, masturbation and moderation. The last one is the most important, a well habituated bedtime will help you sleep better.

There are two ways to do that whistle and they both involve having the tip of your tongue bent nearly vertical in your mouth and shooting the air through a small hole between the tip of your tongue and top lip down right past your bottom lip. The hard thing is that you have to push a lot of air for it to work like that, which is why some people use their fingers to push up and hold their tongue. Ive been whistling my whole life and only learned that one in my 20s.

Ive just tried both ways, with your fingers make sure they form a good triangle and you will push your tongue back past your top lip and you actually use the fingers to make the hole with your top lip and your tongue keeps the air from going under. With no fingers your tongue will be resting just behind your top lip, sealing it off with the underside of your tongue and leaving a small hole to squeek the air through. Its counter intuitive to regular whistling in that the air jet shoots down out of your mouth.

I appreciate that, still haven’t learned the ! link that works everywhere.

Will never cease to amaze me how tribalistic people can become over this stuff.

Think of it as using the back of your mouth and your tongue to shoot a round jet of air through your lips. Usually takes a lot of fiddling around and trying slightly new positions before you can get a shadow of a note, but then you have something to hone into. Whistling different notes requires you to change how big the inside of your mouth is and how large the hole at the front is. The larger your mouth, the lower the resonant note, and the smaller your mouth the higher the note will resonate. Lower notes are easier to hit, but you can only go so low. There is no real limit to how high you can learn to go.

I have a whistling comm if you would like to post in it.

I find it so funny that they used to just put a hole in the wall and you would shove old razors in it. A hazard for renovators 60 years later.

After switching to safety razors many years ago I still haven’t used a single pack of double sided razors for it. I honestly don’t understand why people buy the plastic razors when it is neither more convenient or cheaper. Think I have the same brand head on mine, you gotta watch near the edges because they’re more likely to cut you.

You have lost the plot man, my original comment was about the absurdity of assuming that DT just tanked stocks for a political win against dems.

Would definitley cause the stock to move in a predictable way yes. However it would not make or break it. Can you point to anything he has done in the last month to cause tech stocks to fall. Or is it far more reasonable to assume a market that was already experiencing a correction over the last month got fresh news of a different future than stockholders expected.

He has spent the majority of the last two years trying to get the fed to lower interest rates and couldn’t just do it because of a previously appointed fed chair. Yes he has a lot of power and he can do things that influence the market, and especially can do long term damage. However he can’t just pick a day and say “this is the day I’m going to make the stock market crash to make my opponents look bad.” The most he can do is a little pump and dumping in that regard because he has such a large mouthpiece and people still listen to the shit that comes out of him.

Im not trying to claim that Donald Trump hasnt hindered the world economy and enriched himself in the process, I am only claiming he has very limited control over immediate market conditions.

Man its like you guys are immune to understanding nuance.

Its almost like the economy is complicated and can’t be explained by pointing at the actions of one person. The tools the president has for steering the economy are like trying to steer a fully loaded semi on a sheet of ice.

You guys still think the president has a button under the desk that inflates or pops the economy or that some secret cabal of investors has majority control of the market. The market downturn in tech is because the voters have resoundingly rejected data center construction. Of course they’re going to politicize it but this is one of the few non-partisan issues to voters in the US.
