There’s a pretty strong theory that he was covering for his son.

disclaimer: do not attempt if you have any sort of blood pressure or cardiac issues or anything that might be aggrivated by a bit of orothostatic hypotension.

First, inhale for 4 seconds, completely filling your lungs, then exhale, completely emptying your lungs. Repeat, taking one second off the inhale each time, but keeping the exhale at 4 seconds.

The effect is amplified if you bend over while doing it and stand up quickly after.

Fair enough. I wasn’t sure since people had the mindset that the number of users moving to Lemmy were enough to take down reddit.

I mean, I did just buy a jaw trainer that’s basically a chew toy, so I’d be all over this if there were different strengths.

This happened to an ex of mine, as well as my wife (funny enough they have the same first name). Got a bunch of fillings that were “necessary” only to have a non-predatory dentist look at the xrays and be confused about why the first dentist did it.

It’s definitely a thing, even with people who can’t speak due to brain damage.

Voice resonance has more to do with your body/skull structure than anything. One thing that I find interesting is that most phenomenonal singers have rather large mouths. My singing ability actually improved as a child after getting my jaw expanded.

You can kinda test this out yourself. Hold a note with your arms by your side, then again with your hands on top of your head with elbows out. Your voice will have a lot more resonance because you’re expanding your chest (this is also the best position to catch your breath in)

I also have a fun breathing exercise that will make you super light headed, which is fun.

The speech and singing regions of the brain are separate from each other, which is why this works. It also can work for people who lose the ability to speak from brain damage.

It’s wild how adaptable the brain is. Some dude was out there just living life when he had a head mri after a car crash (iirc) and found that he only had a brain stem.

Amen. It would be nice to have posts on actual technology instead of business/financial news about technology companies, or what shitty CEOs are doing in their personal lives.

The fediverse is not anywhere near large enough to stabilize those numbers.

I always love the, “it was about state’s rights,” people.

Yes, you’re absolutely correct. It was about the state’s right to let rich white men own black people.

Nah, he’d do it if there was a legitimate chance of going to prison.

I’ll have to get back to you once I fix Synology webstation yet again.

The main reason the UN disapproves is that it royally fucked over entire villages. Opium was one of their major exports, and there was no plan on transitioning to a different crop.

The masks don’t really do much to prevent getting covid. Their main purpose was to stop people from spreading their covid.

I would love to have an electric smart car for running errands.

Most adapters will do both SATA and IDE.

My wife’s dog won’t come when I call the dogs to take them outside until I walk into the room he’s in and tell him directly. Little shit.
