tfw all your immediate relatives did the test even after you explicitly told them not to


That's why I swallow a pinch of cobalt-60 every day, to make sure my DNA is unrecognizable to adversaries.


What an interesting thing to microdose. How’s your productivity on it?


No insurance on you and your family


isn't cobalt-60 radioactive?


I believe that is the point


I've wanted to make my own 'app' for a wearable device that i can trigger to vibrate for X seconds at Y intensity every Z minutes... to find the sweet spot for lucid dreaming. I only dig a quick look but didn't see any easy mode APIs for the wearables, for the vibrating feature


Garmin seems to have vibration in Connect IQ api https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/api-docs/Toybox/Atte...


If you do this, please sell it as an intensive sleep retraining device, a la the Thim.io device except not garbage.


What’s garbage about the device? What other wearables have you tried for sleep tracking?


It just literally did not function for me (i.e. buggy software). One of those Kickstarter projects :/

This isn't really for sleep tracking. It's for sleep retraining. Basic premise is that falling asleep is a skill you can practice like any other, but it's hard to do that because you... well... fall asleep.

So this device is meant to ask you whether you're awake every minute (you say yes by tapping your finger) and once you stop responding, it triggers an alarm to wake you up. By waking up and falling asleep again repeatedly, you learn to fall asleep better.

I saw that on tiktok myself. But apparently only the experts at tree planting make good money and it takes a few seasons to get good.
