I basically flipped my schedule when I worked nights. Went to bed at 9 or 10 am and woke up at 4 or 5 pm. I struggled on Wednesday when I wanted to stay "up late" until noon or 2pm and would then sleep until 10 pm.

Much happier back on days with a regular schedule. Though I do miss grocery shopping at 6am or getting to the trail at the crack of dawn since I was already up.

There are 8.0658*10^67 orders you can shuffle a card deck in.

The math is easy. It's just 52! if your calculator has that function which is really 525150...32*1. There are 52 possibilities for the first card 51 for the second since you've already used one card and so on.

How many decks of cards have been shuffled over human history, or will be is beyond me.

I broke the screen on mine doing the transplant. Was able to get a new screen to fix it but it made it a 100 dollar project instead of a 20 dollar project.

Ugh I miss play music. It was such a good service. YT music was a joke as a replacement.

Volumio - Multiroom audio service. You install the os on a pi and hook up some speakers. The basic streamer is free for local files on a single device at a time. I paid $200 for a lifetime pass a few years ago. That gets you multiroom synced audio like Sonos and lets you add in streaming services.

Qobuz - Music streaming service. Much higher quality than Spotify, no shitty MQA like Tidal. They will have articles diving into a genre, band or record label with links to notable albums. It's "station" playlists and similar artist recommendations are garbage but I'm more of an album person.

Worst was this girl making an uncomfortable amount of eye contact the whole time. It was like she was trying to start her way into my soul. I'd make eye contact to talk but kept having to look away because she was just too intense. I would not be surprised if she was some sort of succubus or siren trying to drain my life force.

After about an hour she asks if I have autism... I went to the bathroom and called one of my friends to vent. When I returned she asked if there was going to be a second date... There was not.

80s millennial here and same. Getting games to run was so much work back in the 90s that I learned about computers. I think I got my first IT job because I was able to install and setup Word.

Not Foundation, but sounds a bit like it. Galactic empire collapses because no one knows how the technology that powers it works anymore.

I always wake up when Jurassic Bark comes on and it's a real bummer. So I don't watch Futurama going to bed anymore.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia or Seinfeld. I know they are always yelling but it soothes me. I think me visualizing the scenes as I listen helps.

Occasionally I fall asleep reading but I'm usually too interested in what I'm reading to sleep. Same with music it's either too interesting or too boring.

An couple of American made guitars. A thinline telecaster and a Taylor 717. I've been playing on cheaper guitars for 20 years and finally was in the position to treat myself. While they sound a play a little better it's not a huge difference, especially after a proper setup. The acoustic was the bigger improvement for sure.

Definitely a luxury purchase but after 4 years of the electric and 2 of the acoustic I still love playing both.
