It was almost my sister’s name. But they went with Gillian which apparently in the Americas is less common than Jillian.

Siobhan might be out since people will think iit is Si-Bohan instead of the correct pronunciation She-vaugn.

There is some good unique but easily spelt and pronounced Celtic names and mixed with a single syllable last name could make you plain and neutral like you want.

There is a YouTube channel with a guy saying Celtic names. Maybe hearing someone say the names would help sell you on one.

My dad used Swarfega back in the day, you rub it in dry hands and it grabs up hydrophobic dirts and oils then rinsed off with water. Because it has hydrophobic ingredients it doesn’t remove your natural skin oils as much so there is less inflammation.

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.

We all know the nuclear codes, he says them on TV all the time. Person, Man, Woman, Camera, TV, Squirrel

The dementia test is also the only code he can still remember. If they ever change the test he’ll fail.

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.

Canada

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.

Canada got rid of our digital services tax and it didn’t help. Don’t bother getting rid of anything Trump wants gone because it is just what a bunch of billionaires are telling him to do.

Oddly billionaires probably told Mark Carney the same thing so he was happy to be rid of this DST.

Depends on if it is SAE or Imperial.

Jaques Petitcoq was his name you anglo-sized it.

Sliced and dried in chip form.

I have a 6 year old electric car that takes 40ish minutes to charge, now BYD has batteries that will go from 10% to 70% in 5-10 mins.

In a few years time these drones will be getting charged from a microwave stream of power from a solar array floating in the upper atmosphere.

The Iranian video in this article is crap, the music doesn’t “slap” as the kids are saying these days.

The rap ones are pretty slick, this one was just saying people are going to become Islamic because Trump and Netanyahu suck.

The Trump side was saying anti war things that were lies. The Harris side was saying there is no air between my policies and Joe Biden’s Israel policy.

I don’t think the numbers were massive of Arab voting for Trump but they just didn’t vote. The Dems thought that people would have no choice but to vote for a dem with Dick fucking Cheney’s daughter campaigning with her. They stayed home instead.

I guess the beans on toast was because my mom was Irish and heard of it through my dad and probably never used chipped beef, so did beans instead.

Shit on a Shingle, I though that was beans on toast.

Well my grandfather was Irish but also my mother was born in Ireland so it is either a parent or grandparent option.

Wait so it is better for my partner if I get my EU citizenship through Ireland then get married than to get married before citizenship?

I was going to work on getting my Irish citizenship, though the thought of many American going there makes Ireland less attractive.

I got very expensive prescription Bolle sunglasses, they were stolen from my car. That was back in 2004 and weren’t worth the money for something I wore about 4 times before they were stolen.

I have Maui Jim sunglasses that are great, the polarization is excellent for seeing wildlife in the water. I only wear them occasionally as I’d rather wear 10 dollar glasses I don’t care about wrecking. So I have 4 or 5 pairs of different styles of cheap ones. Most important is to get polarized lenses, other than that if you go cheap you can try every style until you find the right ones for you.
