My dad has bad sleep apnea since his early 40s/late 30s (he currently 60). I've started to get sleep apnea the past couple of years probably. Didn't notice until I had strep throat this past December which exasperated the problem. I also get sleep paralysis fairly regularly. Have woken my mind not being able to breathe and stuck for like a minute or two. Have also had bad acid reflux where acid goes all the way up into my nose and sinuses, burns for like an hour. Feels bad man.
When I had strep it was Christmas time so I was visiting parents. I took a nap and my family said they noticed I stopped breathing, then they counted to 120 seconds before they woke me up lol.
There was a couple of nights when I had strep that were hell. I was so damn tired but couldn't sleep at all. I'd start to fall asleep, then like 5 seconds into "sleep" my airway would close up then like 20 seconds later I'd wake up gasping for air.
Felt like that roman/Greek mythology where that dude gets punished by the gods to where hes chained in a river dying of dehydration. The water of the river is up to his lips but every time he dips his head down, the water level drops always out of reach. Feels batman.
After the strep was gone (went to doc, they confirmed strep then gave me amoxicillin) my sleep apnea has barely been an issue. Sleep nicely.

@relent I used to get sharp stabbing sensations in my chest area, thought it was either my heart or some nerve issues but ended up being severe acid reflux. So bad that tums didn't do ****. Went away on its own after a week.
I guess eating greasy Mexican chips n salsas late at night can cause some issues

But I've heard a lot of people be diagnosed with acid reflux with no obvious symptoms. Just weird chest pains/pressure.

But drinking. I just don't understand it. I'm perfectly happy without feeling "buzzed". I hate the feeling of being drunk. Who likes hang overs? I don't understand the reason to spend money on it. lol

Also, if I'm reading this right, using the paddle the 'right' way is as fast as the button release that fits you, and faster than the button release that requires adjusting your grip?
I don't track competitive shooters, I have no idea who uses what nor do I care. Nor do I (or virtually anybody else) carry competition guns anyway. I mean even relent only carries or ever will carry a G19 with its match grade stock trigger reset

Here comes the betrayal from Trump
On suppressors: "I don't like them at all"
$10 says we get another pen stroke ban.

And still no pictures of the weapons, 'extended mags', or 'silencer' used. I won't say why but I bet it may end up being a KRISS Vector with a fake silencer/barrel extension on it

2. ) Trump is getting more fun control stuff done then Obama.
3. ) Most gun owners are FUDDS so they probably support bumpstock and suppressor bans.

Did spareribs this weekend. About 5 hours at 225, used apple wood chunks and hardwood lump charcoal.
Using my apple juice spritz technique I got the smoke ring all the way to the bone. So tender you could gum the meat away from the bone but it wasn't falling off.

That feel when insurance costs you thousands and thousands of dollars a year, but you haven't costed your insurance company a single penny because you haven't been to the doctor in like 8 years. (Aside from vasectomy.)
Then you get even more feels when they don't want to cover the tests the doctor wants to do for the heart chit. Nice.

It's definitely not a a time consuming part of a mag change, but it's not only quicker with a button, it changes my grip with the paddle, leaving one more variable to "worry" about.
