I haven't gone antiquing in forever. Thank god for autocoreexted on my phone. I'm n watching Daredevil on Netflix. There's a scene in Fogwells Gym and there's classic boxing posters in the background. I need to get me one of those. That's might be a holy grade right there.
I watched most of it but then became overwhelmed by sleep and took a nap. I plan to finish it today and was playing with the idea of writing up a Hub post in review, since I've recently been reviewing horror movies lately so now I think I actually have some ideas of how movies and reviews work.
I enjoyed it as far as I saw it. I'm curious to see how it ends.
Nice. I look forward to the review. I would suggest that any movie to be reviewed deserves to be seen in one, uninterrupted viewing.
Fuckin' Game of Thrones and the fact that I have only six more days with my family is keeping me up.
By the end of this summer I should have put something like 2200 miles on a brand new bicycle. I will also have missed roughly 10% of my daughter's life.
All we have is time, and we sell it away as if it were nothing.
When I was young, my dad was away a lot fixing airplanes. He'd be gone for weeks at a time to Goose Bay, or Gander, or Labrador.
But at the same time, he was never "absent" in my life, and when my dad was home, he made every effort to be at any event any of us kids were involved in. He was a Beaver (then Scout) leader, he took us camping, canoeing, built us a tree house. All the while, he and my mom both were working and running a home business to try and make ends meet in 1990s Newfoundland - where one had a hard time buying a job.
Yes my father was away, but his return was the spring that kept all of us (my mom included) through the winter of his absence.
Be the spring, KB.
There is no such thing as a sugar high.
For those who are curious, it actually has been well-documented that consumption of alcohol disrupts sleep (example article here) , however, much like we don't know what actually causes a hangover despite knowing that hangovers are caused by alcohol consumption, it appears we aren't quite sure why (or rather, how) alcohol consumption disrupts sleep.
Dang it. I should know better than to use convenient shorthand on Hubski.
Yeah, I misrepresented the mechanism and went for the "sugar high" old wives' tale since it addressed the symptom that those of us who have imbibed too much are familiar with, of waking bolt upright in the middle of the night and feeling energized.
I shall keep my observations further from hyperbole in the future! My lesson learned! :-)
I think you're the first person I've said "there is no such thing as a sugar high" to who actually a) listened and b) was like "you're right" instead of trying to defend its existence.
I feel like believing in "sugar highs" is like believing you get different kinds of drunk off different kinds of alcohol. I have friends who swear it is the case. I will tell you what I have done a lot of getting drunk on a lot of different things and it always goes the same for me.
Yeah. The unassailable knowledge of my youth is crumbling around me...
Sugar highs aren't real.
Turkey doesn't make you sleepy.
Pluto isn't a planet.
The WOW Signal isn't aliens calling us.
Eggs aren't high in cholesterol.
And new cars don't have bench seats.
I dunno what I know any more!
Yes, but just as we know SSRIs help with depression, we don't actually know that depression is caused by a serotonin imbalance in the brain. We just know giving people more happy chemicals makes them more happy. Am I wrong in my understanding of this?
There's at least one alternate theory that it might be B vitamin deficiency.
Here's an article, Ben: http://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/why-do-we-get-hangovers
Liqueurs often have a lot of sugar in them (schnapps etc), but spirits, wine and beer have nearly none. Maybe you're thinking of carbs?
Consumption of ethanol lowers blood sugar though - does not increase it.
I suspect it's more a case of sobering up, and not sugar. The normal metabolism of ethanol does not appear to yield any sugars at any point (but I am not an expert).
There's quite a bit of evidence that suggests there's no such thing as a sugar rush in any case; but I know from experience that very few people will ever believe that.
If that doesn't work at some point, you can watch this video. It's a Good Mythical Morning youtube video with Rhett and Link trying different unconventional sleep techniques. If nothing else, it might make you laugh.
