    The latest in polyphasic sleep schedules is actually different. There was going to be an app for it, but the Kickstarter didn't get funded. There are tons of links about it, but this is a decent summary. Polyphasic Sleep Charts - Business Insider

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I started with the dancing and the hypnosis when I was very young. I was a fully certified instructor for ballroom before I turned 17. I'm 30, will be 31 in November. Also I didn't have a social life till I was like 21. So that helped a lot in terms of having spare time to read, practice, learn...

    Congratulations! I'm just the Warleaders off, myself. Don't really want to craft two golden epics. So close to being done with class levels though... 57 Rogue and 57 Hunter are all I have left to get to 60. I want golden Sen'jins so bad.

    I don't actually have a fixed job. I am a partner dance instructor (Ballroom, Salsa, Bachata, Kizomba). I do routines for weddings, etc., strictly a private teacher. I do Hypnotherapy, which is a referral thing.... I've always had an interest in hypnosis and I helped a few of my friends out with...

    Stuck at rank 2 and 1 star. Rotating between Rogue, Hunter, and Warrior (first two because I need to level them, last one because I actually like playing it). This grind sucks.

    Sleeping too much actually leads to feeling sleepy. 9 1/2 hours is too much. You're better getting around 7 1/2 to 8 hours. So just start going to sleep at midnight or waking up at 6. It'll suck for the first week and then you'll notice a big difference.

    It is not pretty, but you can go to an auto parts shop and ask if you can steal all their cardboard. They get these enormous cardboard boxes and generally they are happy to let you have them. Lay them down everywhere and put mulch on top, no weeds! The cardboard decomposes pretty rapidly. I've...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Actually all of that was inaccurate. None of the debris behaved in anywhere close to the way it actually would. Also whether the story was good is subjective. I imagine if you told everyone who likes the story that the science was completely inaccurate, their opinion would rapidly change...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Debris would have been traveling at roughly the speed you shoot bullets out of a gun. You wouldn't have seen it coming. That is, if the debris field happened. Reality is even if something happened and the debris field happened, it'd stay in its orbit, at the same speed. No one in a different...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    If they were technically accurate they would have needed a different story. That is all. There are plenty of stories they could have told without so many errors.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Not saying you were, the movie just repulses me. It got basically nothing about the physics of being in space correct. The sets of the space stations were accurate. The star patterns were accurate. That is about it. With all the stories they have to pull from (there are decades of near Earth...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Gravity got basically nothing right, unfortunately. The only movie I am aware of that got everything correct to the limit of the science known at the time is Destination Moon, which had Heinlein as a technical adviser and the director listened to him.

    Well most people do, but that draft had pretty solid cards and a ridiculously strong end game. If it gets to 5 wins, which is where straight face players tend to drop out, it should get to 12 easy.

    It isn't magic, they did something to make it more efficient. Waffle Irons get to around ~350 f (which incidentally is why you can make nearly any baked good in a waffle iron, cakes, brownies, etc). Most electric skillets top out at 450 f. This thing is getting to 300 c, which is 527 f. On the...

    If they are using some kind of semiconductor instead of a standard heating element, the amount of electricity needed should decrease. So the circuit breaker limitation doesn't come into play. That was my point. The article says it is a semiconductor. In general you are correct, the limitation is...

    Well, presumably it has a finer temperature control and efficiency over the technology we currently use for griddles. One of the main problems with home griddles right now is they don't pull enough electricity to keep the heat stable when food is added and they get hot spots because it is really...

    That does look pretty cool. I'm sure the technology will be adapted to stuff besides a toaster, eventually.

    Dataclysm agrees with Khane, 22 is the peak of female attractiveness according to the best data we have on the subject. Well yeah, obviously. People change and relationships can change as a result, which can damage them. But for the moment at least my relationship is pretty stable and I think...

    I agree. This makes us happy, so this is how we do things. @Khane: Yes. Open relationships are harder. No question. It isn't at all unstable though, you'll just have to take my word for it. The sex is pretty great to, because I don't have sex with people I don't care about. I've done that, it...

    I'm not sure being insecure is a negative thing. Everyone is insecure about something. I'm just saying insecurity can cause issues, the most common of which is jealousy, and you can fix jealousy by addressing the insecurity. Not fixing, just addressing, being aware it is there. I'm not confident...

    HENDO Hoverboards and Hoverboard Parks.. coming soon??

    What about one levitating shoe? Other foot providers all the push. Or you could get a running start and then turn them on and glide from the momentum? A toe switch maybe for each shoe? So you could turn them on and off at will to alternate between having the hover and being able to push with...

    It is pretty ridiculous. I'm very fond of it, despite it being a random invention. I stream when I play HS and my chat asked me to show them a Deathrattle Priest deck, that is what I created on the spot.

    She has had a boyfriend and I've had a girlfriend while we've been together. Still no issues. I'm actually talking to a girl right now who might end up being my new girlfriend and the wife is nothing but excited for me. Just like you'd be excited for a close friend who was getting into a new...

    I'm not saying the fear isn't real, but that because it is irrational, it can be dealt with. I've helped a lot of people out with this specific thing. I can actually understand never wanting to deal with it, I knew a guy who cheated on his wife constantly and I asked him why he didn't just ask...

    Who has to separate them? My wife loves her girlfriend. I don't feel our relationship is lessened by it. I'm pretty fond of her too, she makes my wife so happy.

    Someone rang? Not sure what to add to that. Is basically true. Loving someone means wanting them to be happy and, when they are happy, you are also happy. Sex makes people happy (well, when done with the right attitude, we all know people who have a lot of sex and are not happy). Honestly I...
