I've also been doing small improvements to my sleep over the years and share some of your recommendations! What's worked best for me have been:

1. Good mattress and pillow (this is a 101 kind of thing).

2. Having the right temperature (same as above).

3. White noise. I also use a white noise machine and the White Noise app on iOS (which I bought for like $1 years ago and still use it). Ironically, I don't use white noise but brown noise, which is slightly more soothing to me.

4. Air purifier, not necessarily for the white noise it produces because it's pretty silent, but because that way I guarantee that I get at least 8 hours of purified air a day.

5. Black out curtains.

6. Eye masks. I actually wear two at once -- the first one to block any lights, the second one to press against my eyelashes, which I find it better for sleeping.

7. Magnesium Glycinate. I've tried different supplements, different forms of magnesium, and even different brands, and the one that I currently use has worked wonders for me. Made me go from being a light sleeper to a medium-heavy sleeper.

Haven't tried earplugs, but I don't really feel the need to. Another thing I tried (but never noticed a real difference) was using a small piece of tape on my lips to avoid opening my mouth.

I agree with most of this but my opinion is that Trump was the symptom, not the cause.

You’re not using ChatGPT correctly.

As a Mexican who travels plenty to the US and works for an American company and has worked for another top-tier software company from the US, I believe this statement is false.

E-commerce platforms, “sharing economy” apps, neo-banks, dating apps, real estate platforms, etc. are all used every single day by millions of people.

Could it be related to the leap year? Our bodies don’t account for it, it’s us humans that do this artificial adjustments. A minute a day is roughly equivalent to a day every 4 years.

He's probably talking about themself and a few close individuals, likely also from the tech scene.

Remote work has made it easier than ever for many people to cook at home. Before the pandemic, meal prepping was a pretty convenient way to do it. A couple of hours a week can get you very far.

> Anybody that mined those earlier blocks on the weird unknown hardware

Which “weird unknown hardware”. Early in Bitcoin, you could just mine bitcoin with any CPU — you still can.

A.) That’s a possibility.

B.) As someone mentioned already, this doesn’t make sense from a trust and security standpoint. Yet discarding this possibility doesn’t prove that (A) is what really happened.

He died in March 2008, even before the publication of the white paper.
