Don’t let Lemmy mislead you into thinking Linux is a drop-in replacement or easy to switch to. It’s a difficult process that takes learning, but hopefully you’ll find it worthwhile. Good luck with your troubleshooting.

Talk radio station. Starts at low volume and builds up slowly. Calm voices are the most relaxed sound to wake up to. Tried all sorts of other sounds and they’re all too abrasive to wake up to.

I don’t know about iPods specifically, but Bluetooth transmitters (that connect to 3.5mm audio jack) are cheap.

Or if you’re willing, you could surgically mod your iPod.

He wants you to throw the stick with dog attached.

AskLemmy…if you don’t ask in the post, then you will be asked in the comments.

Big up Chris Rock for keeping composure and reacting well.

The free players exist to feed the whales.

So if he loses control of his car and is heading at a tree, he can shoot the tree in self defense.

That’s not the point they’re making at all.

The point is when a website password breeds needs to be changed, then it won’t conform to the system anymore. Now you need to make a new system, or remember this particular exception.

I had a system with a number in it. Any time a password change was needed then I would add 1 to the number. I might have to try two or the times to get the password right if I’ve changed it for the third time.

Everyone can draw that. The money is in drawing really well.

You’re in the picture. You are seen.

It’s a strength check. It takes the might of Thor to squeeze the plug enough, in a tight space, at an odd angle, behind the computer.

I’ll just die, thanks.

If you’re looking for a “life hack” to make any exercise instantly enjoyable, then that’s really not going to happen.

But you sound like you’re motivated to start exercising so that’s great. You can add this in layers to make this genuinely enjoyable:

1. find something you like (for me: weight lifting and squash are fun. Running and swimming are hell)

2. Decide on a fixed time (for me: 10pm every day is designated for exercise)

3. Make it as simple as possible and remove as many barriers as possible (for me: I don’t sit to watch TV or play video games close to exercise time, otherwise I know I’m not going to get up again. I put on exercise clothes when I get home from work so I’m already ready when the time comes).

4. Add something else that’s really enjoyable (For me: I have a TV series that I only watch when I’m in the gym. So if I want to find out what happens next, I’ll have to go to the gym tomorrow.)

5. Make this routine (once you’re habituated to doing this regularly, then it stops taking will power to force yourself and is just embedded in your routine)

6. Forgive yourself for missing sessions (any time you miss a session, it doesn’t matter, you’ll start making progress again any time you start exercising again)

7. Make it social (some people love this and you can do exercise with someone. I personally hate that and I love the meditative solitude of exercise time)

Is that why I can’t seem to find it on my laptop? Skill issue?

I advocate separate duvets. My wife won’t agree.

The romantics never said anything about the farts on thighs and I did not consent to being in anyone else’s Dutch oven.

If you’re genuinely interested, then there are people studying and talking about this (beyond the expertise of Lemmy). There’s a fantastic podcast I listen to that talks in detail and there author has written a book about how minds change. Here’s a specific episode (out of many) that is relevant, but I would really recommend listening to all:
