Oh you. I slept 3 hours last night. And I don't use an alarm.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

I slept nine and a half hours last night, got out of bed at 12:00 (but was awake a bit earlier) 
That's what happens when I don't set an alarm.
When I do set an alarm I often sleep through it, especially after I wake up and snooze.
Snoozing is very risky when you sleep as tight as me 
And after so much of sleep I wish I could say I feel well rested

I remember fondly days when I used to be able to sleep 6.
At this rate, by 45 I'll be sleeping 2 hours a night.

That can't be healthy, but at least you have plenty of time to do other things.
Like writing parsers... Wait, could there be a connection?

There's nothing to be done about it. It's a product of my madness. The meds help but folx with my condition either get too much sleep or too little. The part that regulates that goes haywire.

The parser thing or the sleeping thing?
And did the madness cause parsers or did the parsers cause madness?
Must be tough, though

The sleep thing.
And honestly, i think the madness causes the parsers. I could never figure this parsing stuff out before - i've been at it on and off for years. Then one day, boom, I manage to implement LL(1) parsing and LALR(1) the same week. (This was what, a month, two months ago?)
A few years ago I went crazy - not related to parsing, but while it has a lot of downsides, and I don't want to downplay those, it helped me think differently and in many ways I'm smarter now because of it.
Now I don't have to think about code so much anymore. It just flows from me. Like some of my fellow crazies that speak in tongues I guess. That really helped with making these parsers. I can channel things in my head I never used to before. I can't easily explain it but the upshot is I can code things before I understand them. Once I code it, I can read the code to understand what I did.
And that comes naturally now. So bully for me.
On the other hand, it kind of screwed up my employability.

But of course. Why would one not?
The truly great thing about it is that I can set the snooze duration. I chose fifteen minutes.
And I can use it when I'm sleeping elsewhere. The office, say.

Is it an android phone ? The latest update of Google play services drains the battery. Mine went from three days battery life to 2 hours after the update
|
|
|
|
|
I don't see that, but the phone is a couple of years old and I'm looking to replace it. The battery life has greatly diminished.
|
|
|
|
|
Mine does that as well, from time to time: the battery life just plummets, then come back a few days later. Doesn't seem to be related to anything in particular, just random "bugger you" mode...

so, if coffee drinkers are so smart why would they pay so much for cat sh*t[^]?
actually I like coffee, not sure about 6 cups before 2PM, hmm, well perhaps sometimes yes.
6 cups in a day easy, and even 10 minutes before going to bed won't it keep me up.

AFTER they drink it they are suddenly smart enough to realize they just drank sh*t-soup.

Well, it's my birthday, and the day is off to a bad start. The family car refuses to start (dead battery), so we just had it towed to a dealer to get it looked at (thankfully the towing is under warranty, and there's a recall on the rear suspension anyways).
So, how are you guys doing?
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Yesterday was my (and my wife's) anniversary, and all she gave me was a card.
I wish she were still under warranty and there were a shop which could perform the needed repairs.

maybe you'll get a new car as a birthday present ?
I'd rather be phishing!
