I’ve made it a habit to always put on my noise cancelling headphones when going to bed (without music). It’s pure heaven. 😂 Silence and darkness. I fall asleep within minutes. 😂 Good night. 😴
@movq@www.uninformativ.de What kind of headphones are they? 🤔🤔
@prologic@twtxt.net Some 10 year old Bose QuietComfort 25. They’re great, but you have to replace the ear cushions every 4 years or so.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ahh yeah I used to use those exact model headphones 🎧 These days I’m wearing Apple Airpods 👌
@prologic@twtxt.net Those are in-ear, right? 🤔
(I was wondering why you’re still awake. Then I realized it’s already morning where you live … 😅)
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yes they are. And I got up early for some strange reason, prolly cause I’m feeling quite sick so had to get up shower, and cough up a bunch of shit™ 💩
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Over-ear headphones make moving and turning around quite uncomfortable. But it looks like you’re having a very calm sleep, unlike me, who likes to turn a bit on the side every now and then, too.
When I use noise cancelling devices in bed (absolutely required at scouting events), it’s simple ear plugs. I got myself a big pack of 200 pairs nine and a half years ago (oh wow, didn’t realize I have them this long). A lifetime supply. Especially when I reuse them two, three dozen times or so before they’re worn out and don’t seal properly anymore.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Earplugs are great, too! Feels like they block out more noise than NC headphones.
I automatically take off the headphones when I’m half asleep. I don’t even notice it. 😂
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Wow, that’s cool. :-) Even witchcraft! :-D
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org burn, burn, burn!
Yeah, @bender@twtxt.net, I absolutely love it! :-D Monty Python just rocks!
This very knight inspired me to make myself a knight helmet with opening visor out of an old washing machine sheet metal years ago for a theater play. It was really great fun, both making the helmet as well as using it during the week in the play as a silly and shady prince who got all his tracts of land by winning dubious games.
I just couldn’t really hear very well in it. And if somebody hit me on the head or just slightly knocked on the helmet, it was incredibly loud. No fine craftmanship by any means and obviously historically extremely questionable at best, but it did the job well enough. One of the running gags was that I had to open the visor when I wanted to talk. Here are some photos in action, you’ll find many more when surfing through the gallery:

We just added a few dots of paint on one of the two dice, so that it had two fours, two fives and two sixes or something like that. I always told my opponents: “You can choose whatever dice you want. Except for the red one, that’s my lucky dice!” As well-behaved children, they then selected the blue, unbiased one. And usually lost. However, I remember there was one kid that beat me with four sixes in row. :-D Although we thought, we make it halfway obvious that this game is truly not fair, it took them extremely long to figure out that we had messed with my lucky dice. When they finally did, they got super angry. Some of them were on the brink of beating me up. That was really nice to see their sense of justice kick it. :-)

Not a witch, I’m just programmed that way. 😂
