A sick person has just one.

@MustafaArifMD @DMC_SinaiGrace @CMHLMC Congratulations!!

@supahsanti Literally the only reason I only follow VGC, but don’t get into it. Don’t have all the games, and don’t have this much time for team building.

[Asad Maqbool @asad_maqbool]

@45mice Not having time for team building is the only reason I haven’t even tried getting into VGC

@jennaezarik @insta360 Just found out that “retweet” has now been changed to “repost” 😮

@Neil_Sarg It’s a complete gimmick. As a software feature, sure it’s great. But to suggest that the pill shaped camera cutout is necessary for it so only the 14 pro can get it is ridiculous. It’s essentially an interactive notification banner. Could’ve easily be done on older iPhones too.

@CEO_AKUHPK Congratulations!

@zollotech It’s not comfortable to hold. The rounded edges on the iPhone X felt much better

@theroygayle What does she say 😂

Reminder that 8 hours of sleep >>>> two stretches of 4 hours of sleep.

Very brief explanation if anyone is interested 👇🏼

[Asad Maqbool @asad_maqbool]

Sleeping in two four hour stints would mean you sleep the same total amount of time as a single 8 hour stretch. But you never progress to the sleep cycles with a large % of REM sleep. So your total REM sleep % goes way down.

Thoughts courtesy of my Apple Watch tracking my sleep:

[Asad Maqbool @asad_maqbool]

There are different stages of sleep. Your mind (and body) cycle through these different stages. As your sleep progresses, the composition of each sleep cycle changes. Late sleep cycles have much more REM sleep than earlier sleep cycles.

@JamesWBaek Proof that heatran and rilaboom are 100% broken 🤣

@Mrwhosetheboss Nice try. Who is it?

[Asad Maqbool @asad_maqbool]

@Jon4Lakers So glad you’re peeling it yourself. Buying peeled / sliced fruit in plastic containers always feels weird. And it goes bad so fast.

[Asad Maqbool @asad_maqbool]

@zollotech And good luck!! The first step is the hardest.
Give any diet changes 4-5 days before you give up. Those first few days are hard, but it gets easier.

[Asad Maqbool @asad_maqbool]

@zollotech From my own experience, start with just eating less of what you already do. Then start thinking about what you eat and switch fo healthier, more satiating, protein rich options. Then incorporate physical activity. Walking is very underrated.
