  • It varies. If you have this all the time, I’d suspect your sleep duration is not aligned with your sleep cycles. I’ll be more confused if I had dreamy sleep, I’ll be more confused if I wake from REM or deep, and I’ll be very confused if I awake from a dreamy sleep during REM or deep. I don’t think I forget I’m human, but it can take a second to adjust to not having a dream reality. I’m definitely, often enough, entirely confused as to where I am for a moment.

    However, this effect is lessened when I awake from light sleep. It feels more natural. There’s a lingering sleepy feeling, but it somehow feels like I’m well rested, even if it’s a short sleep. Sleep cycles are typically 90 minutes (light-rem-deep-rem-light). 6 hours isn’t great, but waking is acceptable. 7.5 is good enough for me. 9 is too much commitment to test.

    Ironically, when I drink until bedtime, I can sometimes wake instantly if the timing is right. However, it’s like a low power mode. I’m alert, but lazy. Like I just blinked away my entire sleep. Alcohol tends to prevent REM and disrupt deep sleep.





  • I say “delve” often in technical breakdowns when writing. I never say it out loud because my hands will tell you we’re digging down into a topic. I use em dashes too, when digressing into an important fact that needs to be mentioned but not expanded upon. It comes from textbooks, not plagiarised LLM gable. Call me assumptive, but I’d expect ley has a higher rate of similar-minded people than other platforms - people that have properly studied textbooks at some point.

    You can probably tell I’m human because I usuallyiss a typo somewhere in my post where I hit backspace instead of “M” at the lead of a word, causing two words to questionably mash together. Autocorrect can’t help with those. But that’s what an LLM would say if it knew it’s secrecy was in jeopardy

    I think you might be getting false positives on LLM ID, but you’re justified in being skeptical. The Slop is everywhere, no reason to think we’re hidden













  • They’re all heated. The high flow ones just feel cold because they’re evaporating the water faster than it can put heat into your hands. If you hang out an extra 10 seconds with good technique, it’ll be warm.

    Are any perfect? Probably not. I don’t have the patience for them and utilize my pants to finish the job. But, some basic understanding goes a long way.

    1. Drying starts at the sink. Give some good shakes there. You can use your hands to squeegee the other there as well.

    2. Rub your hands in the drier, vigorously and thoroughly. You need to spread the water thin to speed evaporation. Letting it stay pooled in droplets will only lead to the droplets re-wetting the dry parts as soon as they move. It also helps put your wetter parts on your drier parts, further maximizing your wet surface area.

    2a. For the high speed ones, move your hands so it works it’s way from your wrists to your fingertips. This will help fling water off your hands.

    1. I’m still gonna pat dry on my pants because I can’t waste the extra 10 seconds with all that white noise, but it’s a lot less than how it started. I could do a handshake by time I step out. I call it quits when the air doesn’t feel cold anymore.

    Low speed drivers still won’t be worth my time. Again, I promise, I’m wearing pants, and I’ll use them.



  • The NJ MAGAs were big mad that even their donny couldn’t tell them it was “suv-sized drones” all along. And man, the people that saw actual planes, real planes, plain planes, and called them holograms… I ate so much popcorn watching that fiasco unfold. So many grainy videos, so many spooked people livestreaming, so many hobby drones, so many cgi/Ai videos, and the orbs! So many orb videos from people who’ve never focused a camera at night, so many existing conspiriscists finding their place in the limelight. That was a riot.


  • Aside from that one time the Goodyear blimp in NJ took a 5 month break in 2020 and then showed up to the first Giants game and then people filmed the UFO.

    NJ also had a mass panic last year with “drones”. Absolutely a UFO rash by real definitions, not the UFO=alien version. Those people went outside at night and saw distant planes landing for the first time. There’s what, 4 major airports that put descent over the state? I’m sure there were some drones (something about [training for?] lost radioactive material) but it was definitely less than what was reported. Cell phone video was an awful option for aircraft at night but everywhere.
