My story: I brush and floss every single day. At my regular checkup, the dentist measured 2-5mm gum depths, and insisted on doing a deep cleaning, which involves anesthesia and multiple visits. I argued that the 5mm depths were borderline, and could very well be 4mm with measurement error. (They did seem to be pushing rather hard.) They also pointed out some tiny supposed "pockets" on the X-ray that looked like just imaging blur or something. Feeling very suspicious, I left, and found another dentist with, surprisingly, zero bad reviews on Yelp. They measured 2-4mm gum depths, and did a much less aggressive cleaning.

I feel like my mind is by default "extra sober", and drinking helps bring it to a normal level of sobriety.
(define (cons x y) (lambda (m) (m x y)))
(define (car z) (z (lambda (p q) p)))
(define (cdr z) (z (lambda (p q) q)))
In my late 20s, I physically cannot do this anymore since my eyes start to hurt. I am forced to get out of bed and open the blinds until my eyes adjust to the light, then scroll through my phone. But by then I don't feel like scrolling as much. So that problem fixed itself :)
2. Would help to say "Somebody at bone AND Somebody at flower". I first interpreted it as OR and thought it was broken when it wouldn't let me move.
Saved some of my code once.
Unless, as in many systems, y=0 is the top and y increases downward.
