My husband is a CPAP user, the sleep study he did before they gave him the machine clocked in at 80+ disruptions per hour and oxygen saturation down around 65%.
They measured snoring on a scale of 0-3, they rated him as a 3.5.:(
I used to try and explain to him the worst bit wasn't trying to sleep through the snoring - it was the sudden silences when he stopped breathing.
Both of us are sleeping much better now he has the machine.
My husband suffers from severe sleep aponea, it was misdiagnosed for over a decade, firstly as a bi-polar disorder, followed be epillepsy which for some reason resisted treatment as they upper the doasge on his meds every 6 months. When he was eventually diagnose, the specialist said it was likely he had had no level 3 or 4 sleep in over a decade.
By the time he was diagnosed, he was hallucinating, hearing voices and seeing things that didn't happen, passing out or having vacant seizures on almost a daily basis, his short term memory was largely optional, as was large chunks of his long term memory - he would routinely have a seizure and lose 20 years, thinking he was a child again.
Since being diagnosed and starting to receive treatment for the aponea he has improved significantly, though he still gets the occasional panic attack or black out. Once every couple of months is a huge improvement on almost daily.
In the last couple of years he has suffered from significant depression and a reoccurence of the bi-polar symptoms. We don't know how much is caused by the lack of sleep and how much is from a different underlying cause. At least he's stopped hearing voices.
I still have an original 40k Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy disk at home that I have kept for sentimental reasons. I think it has MacOS 4.x on the disk to boot it.
As an educated woman who has been trying to get pregnant for nearly 3 years now, I can tell you that pregnancy and planned don't really go together. About all you can say is whether it was deliberate or not.
We don't need soda taxes. We just need to tell these fat fucks that they're fat and that they need to lose weight. Either they'll disregard us and face more and more ridicule, or they'll change their ways for the better.
I'm pretty sure, based on the size of the multi-billion dollar diet industry that they already know they are fat. The problem is for most people the freely (not free as in beer) available 'solutions' are unsustainable given current societal pressures around work/life balance and readily available foods.
A dust storm that covers blows through close to a third of a continent isn't of trivial size. How big is "the size of states", we only have 7 and for the most part they are pretty large.
...a visible mass of droplets or frozen crystals suspended in the atmosphere above the surface of the Earth or another planetary body. A cloud is also a visible mass attracted by gravity, such as masses of material in space called interstellar clouds and nebulae. Clouds are studied in the nephology or cloud physics branch of meteorology.
I should have been clearer, when I referred to crash dieting, I was not referring to anorexia but the millions of people (mostly women) who are or normal weight to overweight who try all the fad diets they read about in the press, their weight yo-yos around and typically they end up weighing more after the unsustainable diet phase is over.
They screw with their metabolism, their bones due to mineral deficiencies, and generally turn them selves from slightly pudgy people who were on the whole healthy into fat people (or skinny people) with serious health risks.
All because a touched up photo of a celebrity was captioned as being a fan of the south beach diet or whatever the fad-of-the-week decides to pitch.
The problems isn't an 'anorexia epidemic', it the fact that you do far more damage to your body and cause more health issues through crash dieting and sustained unhealthy eating patterns such as bullemia or exclusion diets than you do through carrying excess weight but otherwise eating a balanced diet.
Way back when, I started my professional working life as a draftsman and had beautiful handwriting, either cursive or lettering. My signature was copperplate.
Enter the '89 stockmarket crash, several years of confusion, a change of professions to work in the computer industry, first as an office manager for a computer reseller. I used to sign multiple purchase orders and delivery dockets daily. All office correspondence was computer generated.
Over a single year my signature declined to an illegible scrawl - the bank asked me 3 times over the course of the year to lodge a new signature specimen for my checking account.
These days if I really concentrate I can manage an ok script, but as a geenral rule, my handwriting is appalling - by my standards anyway.
It really irks me that my work requires a medical certificate signed by a Dr or recognised medical practitioner in oder to claim a sick day. This is fairly standard practise in Australia.
9 times out of 10 I kno wI just need to sleep off the migraine/head cold, drink lots of fluids, stay warm, rest. I really don't want to drag my ass down to a Drs Office, sit around with a bunch of sick people waiting to spend 5 minutes with an overworked Dr who really doesn't want to see me.
Unfortunately all the people who take a sick day simply because they don't feel like coming in on a sunny day have spoilt it for the rest of us.
Touching a CRT capaictor hurts like a mother, but it probably won't actually kill you. I did stop working on CRT repairs when in the workshop bymyself after that however. It was a good 30 minutes before my heart stopped trying to escape my chest.
TBH while the WiiMote was initially charming, I miss the old controllers for most of the games we ended up buying. I've even noticed on some games on the PS3 that I tend to hold the controller more vertical than horizontal when I play, and that can result in unexpected game actions.
Some years ago, my husband suffered from frequent seizures which would often leave him incapable of communicating verbally for sometime after the seizure. We got him a palm pilot so he could write what ever he wanted to say and show it to people. (Not the only thing it was used for, a notepad would have perfomred that function fine - the clendar and events function was used heavily because he would also get very disorientated and need other cues to remind him where he was supposed to be, etc...)
Once upon a time I was a warranty repairer for Apple & NEC.
Among my favourite requests for warranty repairs there was: a keyboard with a visible tyre tread mark cross it which had stopped working for no apparent reason according to the customer; a powerbook which had stopped working - the fact that they had cut the transformer off the end of the power adaptor and wired in a standard 3 pin plug couldn't possibly be related (apparently the power brick was inconvenient); and group of laptops which had purple glitter spilt in them.
I'm pretty sure no manufacturer of consumer products is going to give you a refund or compenstion simply because you sid their product was faulty and you won't let them examine it. I'm also pretty sure that even the French legal system will need a greater proof than "I swear it just exploded, I didn't do anything wrong" to come to a ruling also.

But, wen can still carry a lamb for sexual gratification right? I mean, you can't take that away from us can they?

Evolutionarily, our bodies "expect" exactly one substance to enter our bodies when we drink - Water. And water has no calories.
When you are born, your body expects you to get 100% of your nutritional needs from drinking breast milk.

You obviously missed the sandworm comment above.
Personally I'm hanging out for the rumoured chocolate which will speed up your metabolism. :)
Does the word "cloud" have any particular meaning?
According to Wikipedia a cloud is:

You could even modernise this a fraction:
You pout, try to quip. (Poor etiquette.) You twitter.
And it stays within the constraints of the original piece. :)
