It must be that new Windows 8+ bootloader that saves a snapshot of running processes to “come up faster.”
Taking a nap often gives me a headache
What works for me is to pop a bunch of painkillers and drink a bunch of water, then take a nap.
Might be a buggy bootloader or memory leak from a background process
definitely rogue background processes… maybe some worms or trojans mixed in. damn things are persistent af, too.
What is going on with the t in still? It almost looks like a cross between a t and an f
engagement bait probably
I think it’s a fake, but I cannot fathom why it would be. There’s a tumblr post from a totally separate user with the exact same text barring the weird t, and the @randomuser profiles on twitter and bluesky don’t look anything like this one
It’s probably some kind of bot, because the post uses the regular “t” elsewhere, and because this (scroll down to audio sample) is what that letter sounds like. No one who regularly uses the word “still” would pronounce it with that consonant.
Wait until you mean Mx. Thorny here on Lemmy.
I think you mean Þorny
I have, and instantly thought of them while commenting lol
Fhaf’s jusf how we wrife f’s here.
This is what it sounds like, apparently. Scroll down to Audio sample.
I took some time to learn a whole bunch of consonants from different West African languages for the sake of getting names right while running a D&D game. This one gave me, as a native English speaker, even more trouble than the double-articulated ones
I frequently wind up looking up pronunciations on Wikipedia’s IPA keys just to figure out how some sounds are made, and the description for this one baffled me. I’m so glad when words have a pronunciation audit sample like this one, otherwise I’d never have figured it out
It’s not often that we have to learn to make sounds like breathing in instead of out!
Whaf?
For me, I have to do the full Hard Reset. A nap. A shower. Maybe shave something. If that doesn’t work, trepanation?
THE THIRD WISH IS GRANTED:
The Trump Admin will now begin rounding up people with headaches and putting them into forced labor “treatment camps”.
That would suck harder’n a black hole. You get a headache, try to sleep it off, fail and then get arrested because you didn’t get rid of your headache. Now you have a headache and you’re in jail! Waking up with a headache should be an effective palliative treatment situation, not a prosecutorial situation
if we made it illegal who should i sue? life? the universe?
No the government would be obligated to sentence you to punishment for having woke up with a headache.
Thus I feel many would choose to not self-report. We’ll have black market Tylenol knock-offs which will quickly turn to people dabbling in harder narcotics and eventually fueling an opioid crisis.
It’s still there to remind you that life is unfair.
You’d rather your body not tell you that something is wrong?
Headaches are most frequently referred pain from neck and scalp muscle spasms.
Yes sometimes headaches are an indicator of something else, but much less often.
I find my headaches are almost always related to either:
- Tense back/shoulder muscles;
- Lack of sleep; or
- Magnesium deficiency.
Obviously YMMV but if you have migraines with no discernible cause, try magnesium oxide. Literally changed my life
Yes. Please.
Oh, that’s bad. You really want your body to tell when you’re injuring yourself. People with no ability to feel pain often have their teeth pulled so they don’t unknowingly chew their own tongues off. You put your hand on a lit stovetop burner, you can’t feel it, and your hand cooks while you wonder what smells so good. You suddenly discover you can’t walk because your legs broke several months ago and you’ve been using them long past when others would have gone to the ER. You suffocate and don’t understand why your vision is fading, and you don’t realize that you’re dying.
While pain can easily be agonizing, not being able to feel pain means you have no way to know that you’re in critical danger.
Okay, but have you considered that I have no health insurance and live in a shithole country that will happily let me suffer and die for being broke? I’d rather feel fine until I keel over than agonize while having to push through. What use is pain I can’t do anything to address?
Okay but what if I’m in critical danger all the time
Then you may have congenital insensitivity to pain, and should probably get to a hospital, even if you don’t feel like it
Not every problem is fixed with a reboot, sometimes its a hardware problem or lack of water
I just listened to the postcast Failure To Launch’s series on Jack Parsons, a REALLY werird rocker scientist, who after handling nitroglycerin without gloves got a massive headache lasting 5 days straight.
This was so common among the team that it was called a “nitroglycerin headache”.
Just thought about it when reading this post.
BTW, I can highly recommend the Failure To Launch podcast, it is absolutely brilliant.
Ugh. Just hearing that is triggering, I wouldn’t want more details.
Isn’t it used to treat heart attacks or something?
I agree, though I was half expecting sfilling some product in the bottom half.
