  • I would travel back in time and prevent the deaths of all the other sperms in the load that became Justice John Roberts Jr. If only one of those other sperms got into that egg.

    This court Jester that thinks that 12 years after civil rights and voting rights were extended to black people, that there was no racism to deal with anymore and has been trying to overturn them until he succeeded this time.

    Bautista is good in many things, the very underrated movie, Bushwick.

    Hotel Artemis was also interesting, though he is playing a similar character in both he is also actually trying to be an actor and increase his range.


  • I think one of the biggest issues is mask fitting. I got a fitting done with a nurse with multiple mask in a room laying back in a recliner to find one that was most comfortable with the machine and was shown how to adjust to get leaks to a minimum.

    Some people are just thrown a machine and you figure it out on your own. I don’t think that works for the majority of people, everyone is different so masks should be tried on with a machine at pressure so you have an idea of what is comfortable.

    Also trying to use it while relaxing and watching tv or reading helps acclimate to the mask so when trying to sleep it is already normalized.


  • If you snore loudly then you indeed have issues with airflow. Snoring is friction and blockage or the airway which is an issue.

    I didn’t get a CPAP until I was 32 and boy do I wish I realized how bad it was years before. Your body can deal with sleep deprivation from snoring or sleep apnea until it can’t and you get sicker more often, injuries take longer to recover from, weight doesn’t come off as easily.

    The earlier people get onto CPAP if they have sleep apnea, the sooner they will realize how much better proper sleep is compared to broken sleep.

    I stayed with my parents for a few days when my grandmother died. I was sleeping on the couch and mom my noticed I wasn’t breathing at regular intervals. She said I should get a sleep test when I flew home on Sunday.

    I called my doctor on Monday, had an appointment on Wednesday, he sent a referral and I got called on Friday that there was a cancellation that night if I could make to the sleep lab for a sleep test. I had no plans so I paid for parking outside the sleep lab for the night.

    I got a call Monday that my test results were back, went to an appointment a few weeks later. Paid for parking again. Was given a trial CPAP to use until a got another sleep test with the machine to get a proper pressure level. I was told not to drive until that test. I paid for subways and busses until that test a week later.

    I went for another sleep test, I paid for a taxi since I wasn’t allowed to drive.

    I got a machine, a paid $700 dollars and a portion was covered by the govt and then my extended benefits covered the majority. I paid maybe $150 in the end for my machine because I didn’t get the basic model that would have been completely covered.

    In all I paid less than 200 for the CPAP and for parking. Everything else was covered.

    In the years since I have had about 6 more sleep tests and that is only because my sleep apnea is complex central sleep apnea not obstructive. I have paid nothing for any of those tests or heart and brain scans that were involved. Just the occasional parking near a hospital.

    I’ve paid for CPAP machines and masks but had them reimbursed by my extended benefits through work. If I wasn’t covered through work they would still be covered to a certain amount through provincial medical coverage.







  • He killed a lot of cars in great way. He had an 80s Mercedes Benz that he took for a rip around a gravel pit that people would play around with their 4x4s. He drove in literally into the ground. Cracked the oil pan then drove it out of the pit onto the street then called a tow truck.

    The tow truck driver spent 30 mins with his dispatch notating all the damage before he would pick it up, my buddy wanted it dumped at the junkyard anyways.





  • The inside cabin felt way bigger in the ioniq because it was built from the ground up as an EV, while the Kona had the same layout as the gas model.

    Without need to have space for the transmission there no need for that channel along the floor so the center console can be shaped differently and more floor space.
