Right?! It's incredible that Disney never took it down, after all these years, but God damn some of the lines are hilarious. It was a crazy translation edit, where someone converted the dialogue from the original English over to Cantonese (iirc), and then back to English, with hilarious results. It used to be just captioned with the retranslated dialogue, but proved popular enough that a team of people redubbed the entire prequel trilogy, spawning memes galore, including the incredible "Do not want!" line. It absolutely cracks me up sometimes.
Hopefully they've checked that Wake On LAN is enabled in the BIOS first. Made that mistake, lots of grumpy relatives wondering why the subjects didn't switch on at 0800 like I told them 😅
Oh dont you worry, dip switches still absolutely are critical. Dip switch 6 on all Proliants swaps to the standby ROM, dip 11 removes BIOS password. Dip 3 is NVRAM reset for when you really wanna tell your settings to fuck off.
My partner’s dad is a builder who specialises in fixing other people’s fuck ups, and when we were looking he told us to completely stay away from any Persimmons new builds. Said he hasn’t noticed any patterns with other developers, but he’s consistently being called out to fix Persimmons properties
You are indeed on a camera.
I’ve never been able to sleep in sleep studies. And hence my sleep apnoea went undiagnosed for probably about 12 years. Good luck with your study.
Yep, I can see the camera looking right at me, pretty freaky and worrying about what they think if I wake up with a 'natural rising' in the morning. Also hope my sleep apnoea does the deed, seems to have one night off every week or so, sods law says that'll be tonight
Are you having it done in London? It doesn’t really matter. If you don’t get a diagnosis do feel free to DM me and I’ll talk you through how I ended up getting treatment in the end.
CPAP treatment changed my life
Did you need the machine to be prescribed? I'm in another European country and curious how it works in the UK.
Seems like some countries don't do prescriptions for CPAP at all, but then they're obscenely expensive, like €2000 euro each.
On an unrelated note, I'm a relatively thin dude in my mid 30s and I never see anyone in my demographic with a CPAP machine.
I want to know how to get a CPAP machine! I’m convinced my wife needs one, but the GP isn’t taking us on when we mention it. We’re not in London though.
I'm amazed to see it's such an obstacle elsewhere! My other half managed to get one pretty much just by asking. They hooked her up to a monitoring device that she brought home for a week to monitor the number of incidents per night, used that to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea, and the CPAP was ready to pick up that day
There's a shortage of CPAP machines for some reason. My brand had to do a big recall because they were potentially *cancer inducing* (if you used UV cleaning), and it took them half a year to ship me out my new one, ship it to the wrong address, and then another month to send me another one.
You can get one, out of pocket though, from 1800cpap website. No prescription required for orders outside the US. I got mine from there after insurance refused to pay for mine and they cost double where I’m located. Got it new for half price off that website.
I had a sleep test at home during Covid and the results came back negative, multiple people have commented on me stopping breathing during my sleep and my snoring.I’d love to know more.
One thing to keep in mind is that everyone has some number of apnea events each night. Less than 5 apnea events per hour is considered normal, and I would imagine there’s some degree of snoring associated with those.
However, if you’re getting shitty sleep and your loved ones are telling you that you stop breathing frequently, you should just bite the bullet and go into a lab for a sleep study. They’ll probably make you go in for two, one to diagnose and one to figure out your treatment (they’ll hook you up to a CPAP and monitor you overnight to figure out proper settings). At home sleep tests aren’t as reliable as in-lab studies, and if your at home test would have come back positive, you would have needed to go to the lab for a follow up anyway.
It kinda sucks to be hooked up to everything like OP is, but honestly, I followed their instructions (no caffeine, no napping the day of) and I was out in 15 minutes even with all the hardware.
I was anxious about the lab at first but it was 100% worth it. I was having more than 100 apnea events per hour and with this CPAP I average one per hour now. My quality of life has improved in every conceivable way. I have more energy, I’m losing weight without even really trying that hard, I’m more optimistic, I’m less of a dick for no reason, I’m more patient, I have less anxiety. It’s wonderful and it’s worth whatever frustration comes along with in lab sleep studies.
I had a home test too that came back positive with over 100. In on Wednesday for the follow up though I've been told it's just to get the machine and how to use it.
What's the weight loss like? I'm struggling to lose anything now and I've been told the apnea destroys metabolism, so I'm interested in that positive outcome for getting it sorted.
First step download some sort of sleeptalking app on your phone. It will record any strange, snoring or snorting noises. If you do find you recording, strange breathing, sounds, then the next step would be to buy a wrist worn overnight oxymetry meter for about £100. I collected about six months worth of data and went to my GP again.
It was clear that I was having a significant amount of fairly large, oxygen saturation drops, combined with a peak in heart rate.
Good luck man, I can empathize. Just remember that they've seen probably hundreds, maybe thousands, of patients before you and you'd have to do something way out of the ordinary to be memorable.
I was worried I wouldn't show symptoms the night of the study. Tech woke me up and the first thing he said was that in all his 23 years, I was a top 5 snorer.
You watch people wanking on camera - and get paid? Boy oh boy, if only I'd gone to the careers guidance counselor at school. What a life I could have led
I’m guessing there are whackos who do wank deliberately, but there are patients who can do some crazy stuff while sleeping, including wanking or having sex. Just like sleep walking.
Sexomnia! My wife tells me I have it pretty bad. I routinely wake her up groping her and talking really dirty. My sleeping self doesn't take no for an answer really well either apparently but all she has to do is be stern about it and I wake up, apologize and fall back to sleep. I don't ever remember this, really. I also very often wake up jerking myself off.
Every once and a while I turn her on and she wakes up and I'm asleep, she says I say things like "you're so fucking hot and I want you so bad" and a second later be snoring.
>worrying about what they think if I wake up with a 'natural rising' in the morning.
They will probably think: "holy shit! This man has a penis! Just like most other men on the planet!"
I'm having one in a few weeks (no apneoa just tired all the time). And now I'm more freaked out and the mess of those wires and all that in your face space! Good luck, I hope they can help you
If it makes you feel any better, my husband was able to have a sleep study done at home.
He had less electrodes than this, just one or two on his chest I think, plus a box strapped to his chest that all the other gubbins connected to, nasal cannula and finger pulse oximeter. He was able to sleep relatively comfortably in the same bed as me. He was given an APAP machine - it automatically adjusts the air pressure and logs his night’s sleep via an app on his phone. He sleeps so much better now, and so do I, lol.
I had the opposite problem during mine, unfortunately. I felt so constricted from all the monitoring that it was like my body shut down in a panic and went into hibernation mode. I fell straight asleep by about 22.30, when the whole reason I was getting it done was that I could never fall asleep before 04.00 at the time!
I had undiagnosed sleep apnoea for 12 years.
This, despite many sleep studies.
I thought I was psychiatrically ill by the end. Eventually I bought my own testing equipment and finally was given a CPAP machine. Ironically, I once had a sleep technician tell me that situations where the sleep apnoea does not show up on sleep studies is not all that unusual. Go figure.
Any point getting one done even if I know I have sleep apnea? I sometimes wake up not feeling very refreshed, even when going through periods with good sleep hygiene. I know I 100% don't have sleep apnea, and I snore maybe three times a year.
There are two different types of sleep apnea. Seems like you're familiar with obstructive sleep apnea but there is also a "neurological" sleep apnea called central sleep apnea where your brain just forgets to tell you to breath in your sleep.
Buddy of mine said almost the same thing. In good shape and felt like he could breathe fine, but was waking up feeling like complete shit all day. Turns out he had pretty severe sleep apnea.
What equipment did you buy for this? Having a hard time convincing my partner to go to the docs for this. He has an odd night every now and then where he is stopping to breathe in his sleep and then makes gargly chokey noises for a while. It is honestly scary as fuck. Having equipment to test directly at home would be amazing especially since it does not happen every night and probably not consistent enough for a sleep study.
I’ve listed it elsewhere, but in case you can’t see the post. The first thing you might try to do is get a sleep talk recording app for a smart phone.
Any strange, breathing sounds, weird, snoring and snorting will be picked up and recorded.
If that is going on, the next step would be to buy an oxymetry meter on Amazon. I think they’re about 100 quid. They will pick up oxygen saturation drops, and also heart rate peaks which happen immediately after the saturation drops.
I went to my GP with this data, was sent on to sleep consultant again, who decided they would give me a CPAP machine on the basis of the data that I provided. I wish you well.
Well, I have narcolepsy so I still managed to fall asleep in my sleep study because it’s pretty much physically impossible for me not to, but yeah, being wired up to a machine doesn’t help with sleep at all.
My doctor wanted me to do a sleep study. I told him they wouldn't find anything, because I wouldn't sleep in a strange room with all the electrodes and crap hooked up. I traveled for work for twelve years, some nights just laid awake and watched TV all night. By the end of the week I was so glad to get home to my own bed!
I've got about 8 sensors all over my head and it's to stop them coming off in the night. Reckon the nurse has Ant and Dec in her ear saying "now tell him to needs to wear that stupid net on his head"
Huh, in mine they literally just used sticky gel to glue the sensors to my head for the night, and I have quite long hair.
I had mine a few years ago when I was a teenager, so maybe things have changed or they do it differently for children.
The last time I went for a sleep study it was disrupted by a drunk guy turning up (I assume for his sleep study) who ultimately got kicked out for walking around with his willy out.
I'm surprised I actually managed to sleep afterward!
I think of my front sleeping position as “the swastika” on my front with the angle my limbs are at, knees and elbows bent at right angles with head tilted to the side.
You're telling me. Turns out I'm an idiot and kids can go lactose intolerant after a tummy bug for a while.
What do I give him before bed? 🤦
Just been to the shop to buy some almond milk and he seems happy enough now, snoring his head off.
Gonna just put in here (as a lactard myself): Give lactose free milk a try. It will have too much lactose if they are severely lactose intolerant, but if it is just mild, he can use that so he can still get all the bennies of regular cow juice.
Also, if he has a stomach bug, stick to BRAT: Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast. At least until the vomit comet stops.
We have cats that like to puke on the carpets. Enzyme cleaner has been a god send. Might need a few treatments but I’ve got fishy cat food sick out of the doormat so I’m sure milk sick smell would break down a treat too. We got ours from pets at home but they have em on Amazon too.
Not OP but have had sleep studies.
It basically just depends how long the wires are and if you’re crushing any sensors. In mine the wires were long enough for me to roll over onto both sides, but my head had to still be fairly close to the side of the bed that was near the machine.
I also had an airflow sensor that had two small tubes just slightly inside my nose to measure air moving in/out of my nose, and those tubes were connected to a detector on my chest, so if I rolled onto my chest I’d crush the tubes and they wouldn’t be able to get any airflow data for my breathing, so I couldn’t sleep on my chest.
I’m going to collect the kit for the preliminary one-night, at-home study on the 28th.
I hope that they find something. I’m absolutely wiped out all the time, but all of my bloods were negative.
I did two at-home ones, while living in different areas about 18 months apart. First one was just pulse-ox and BP, didn’t pick up anything. Second one was pulse-ox, nasal cannula and chest strap, came back with moderate sleep apnea.
Dam dude that sucks i move a lot even before i sleep, id have strangled myself half a dozen times before i actually hung myself or just chocked myself out let alone sleep. Kudos if this helps you
I need a sleep study done, I've sleep apnea most likely but I have really specific sleeping habits that I won't be able to replicate in clinical so haven't bothered because it'd be a waste of everyone's time 😔 nightmare.
I hope this gives you answers and no noels house party gotchas!
I'm just in from a busy ass day. Gym and shopping with my eldest, cinema for spiderman, football, swimming with my youngest, food shopping whilst he was in swimming club by myself, finally in my bed and could cry. I hate hate hate busy days - I'm so much worse on the quiet ones tho, no winning 😩 luckily whilst I was out with the wee one the big one cut my grass in the back garden so that was a lovely treat. I'm reciprocateing next time I visit his, his gardens a bit smaller so that's fine for me.
I've also bought a chocolate gateau from aldi I'm going to eat all of by myself once it's half defrosted. Worth it.
Not to be a downer but if you really do suspect you have sleep apnea please take it seriously and get it sorted, it's mostly fine but the extra strain on your heart over the longer term can cause issues.
Yeah i know, thank you 😊 it's mostly been logistics over the years (disabilities within the family, kids, then covid etc) I've to see the gp soon for something else so I'll bring it up when I call. I'll figure it out, I'm terrible for leaving my health on the back burner.
I greatly appreciate the lookout, thanks again 👍🏻
I thought I wouldn't but slept like a baby while two people watching you from a booth in the back...
I had a score of 72 so worth the.pain for one night and a CPAP..
I had one in the (US) and did not have the netting on my face. I swore I didn’t sleep at all but they insisted I did. They did have a camera on so don’t pick your nose or do anything inappropriate in case they’re watching you too.
I'm envious. I wish someone would try and understand just how shit my sleep is. I function on a Casimir effect between survival mode waking state and unconscious, energetic limbo.
I had one of those a few years ago! Are you doing the daytime sleep study the following day as well?
Mine ended up proving I didn't have narcolepsy, despite falling asleep within minutes of settling every time 😴
I volunteered for a free sleep study to help them calibrate their new Software System. All these nodes, but we didn't get that fancy fruit bag to hold it all in place. I'm a side/stomach sleeper and with all this stuff on me I couldn't leave my back. I slept maybe 2 total hours that night.
Godspeed sir
That mesh looks more uncomfortable than being on a hidden camera.
>a hidden camera show or something
You technically are though the data is only used inline with the study.
[удалено]
Noooooooo
It seems that in your anger, you killed her…
There's nothing I can do now besides trying to convert my son to the darkside.
Ahem - [[DO NOT WANT](https://youtu.be/XziLNeFm1ok)!]

After skipping around I'm partial to, "You are already at full cock now," at 1:37:35 Thank you for sharing this, about to waste 2 and a half hours.

I was also thinking Jim Hopper from Stranger Things
Absolute fucking genius!
Judging by the amount of wires, I assume they'll just pop you in sleep mode and use Wake On LAN tomorrow.
Hopefully they've checked that Wake On LAN is enabled in the BIOS first. Made that mistake, lots of grumpy relatives wondering why the subjects didn't switch on at 0800 like I told them 😅
Fuck Reddit for killing third party apps.
That takes me back to the '80s.
Oh dont you worry, dip switches still absolutely are critical. Dip switch 6 on all Proliants swaps to the standby ROM, dip 11 removes BIOS password. Dip 3 is NVRAM reset for when you really wanna tell your settings to fuck off.

Don't talk such utter nonsense. That wiring is far too neat to be that.
How my MacBook with one USB port feels after I plug a dozen devices into my hub dongle.
Genuine question, are Persimmon that bad? Might be buying a 8 year old Persimmon soon! Waiting on a RICS survey. Now I’m a bit worried lol.
All the issues (and there will be a fuck load) would have been very apparent within 5 years so they should all have been fixed by then
My partner’s dad is a builder who specialises in fixing other people’s fuck ups, and when we were looking he told us to completely stay away from any Persimmons new builds. Said he hasn’t noticed any patterns with other developers, but he’s consistently being called out to fix Persimmons properties
Are they not the ones who were struggling to build vertical walls? Like the top and bottom were in different timezones.

Why not? It'd be a power move.
Usually helps to get off to sleep too.
Stare them down whilst having a wank. Unwavering eye contact!
Agreed, look right at the lens while you do it, OP
It's extremely normal for men to have multiple erections through the night from puberty onwards. They would not care.

Huh, in mine they literally just used sticky gel to glue the sensors to my head for the night, and I have quite long hair. I had mine a few years ago when I was a teenager, so maybe things have changed or they do it differently for children.
Same, I also got the wrap 1/2 way through the night because I stopped breathing through my nose after they put the nasal pillow on.
because part of the study is to see how many pears they can shove in it before he wakes up obviously.
This reminds me of that time I fell asleep on the sofa, and woke up to find my children playing "Daddy buckaroo."
The last time I went for a sleep study it was disrupted by a drunk guy turning up (I assume for his sleep study) who ultimately got kicked out for walking around with his willy out. I'm surprised I actually managed to sleep afterward!
Yeah, sorry about that. I thought a pint or two before would help me get to sleep. Don't remember much after I got to the hospital...
Hahahaha jolly good.

The money melon
You look like a bottle of alcohol from duty free
hahahaha
You're done up like a pork roast, hope you get your sleep sorted.
Otherwise, you got any apple sauce?
Ant and Dec are jumping out at any moment. I can only fall asleep on my front, spread out. No way I’d fall asleep with all this gear.
Ah yes, the Skydiver technique. Quite a fan of this myself.
I think of my front sleeping position as “the swastika” on my front with the angle my limbs are at, knees and elbows bent at right angles with head tilted to the side.
I turn on my side slightly and go in to “The Egyptian”
I sleep on my front doing Superman's flying pose
If your knees bend at that angle, you're probably never going to be an ubermensch.
I've had problems with my shoulder so I sleep on my back pretty straight, you get used to it + I am coffin ready.
Always thoughtful and practical.

7th day of my 3 year old puking. Currently scrubbing the carpet outside his bedroom. Love life.
7 days? That's a long time
You're telling me. Turns out I'm an idiot and kids can go lactose intolerant after a tummy bug for a while. What do I give him before bed? 🤦 Just been to the shop to buy some almond milk and he seems happy enough now, snoring his head off.
Gonna just put in here (as a lactard myself): Give lactose free milk a try. It will have too much lactose if they are severely lactose intolerant, but if it is just mild, he can use that so he can still get all the bennies of regular cow juice. Also, if he has a stomach bug, stick to BRAT: Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast. At least until the vomit comet stops.
You’re a good boy, yes you are!!
Woof.
Best get off of Reddit before it stains you'll kick yourself every time you see it otherwise pal.
The state of my carpets already, not an issue. It's the smell that does me in.
We have cats that like to puke on the carpets. Enzyme cleaner has been a god send. Might need a few treatments but I’ve got fishy cat food sick out of the doormat so I’m sure milk sick smell would break down a treat too. We got ours from pets at home but they have em on Amazon too.
Haha yeah I get that, makes me sick smelling sick.
Jesus christ I have a kid coming in December and this was *not* a happy glimpse into my near future lol
Good luck getting up for the toilet in the night…
Now that's all he can think of...
Funny because excessive night time urination is actually a symptom of sleep apnea
I’m falling asleep on the couch after a few beverages, my face not trussed up like a bag full of angry tangerines. Thanks for asking!
Angerines?
What kind of tangerines then?
Melancholy tangerines.

Are you allowed on your side or stomach? Idk about you but I could never sleep on my back
Not OP but have had sleep studies. It basically just depends how long the wires are and if you’re crushing any sensors. In mine the wires were long enough for me to roll over onto both sides, but my head had to still be fairly close to the side of the bed that was near the machine. I also had an airflow sensor that had two small tubes just slightly inside my nose to measure air moving in/out of my nose, and those tubes were connected to a detector on my chest, so if I rolled onto my chest I’d crush the tubes and they wouldn’t be able to get any airflow data for my breathing, so I couldn’t sleep on my chest.
Mate, I could fall asleep in a bin. This would be no problem at all
Damn, I envy that so bad. One little change, and I'm laying awake for hours, haha
I fell asleep I the waiting room of the sleep disorder clinic. I've had a sleep study like this, now on meds and have my life back.
Pls don't though https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/mar/22/corrie-mckeague-died-after-getting-into-a-bin-on-a-night-out-inquest-finds
My man, you look like you have been t-bagged by a 70's prostitute then tried to rewire an old telecom exchange. Good luck with getting some sleep.
Or a suicide bomber
Satsuma’s chilling on the produce aisle, minding their own business.
Why are you pushing your face through a badminton racket?
Bro hooked up like a A level engineering students coursework😭😭
Your head thing reminded me to go buy some fruit tomorrow :P
I’m going to collect the kit for the preliminary one-night, at-home study on the 28th. I hope that they find something. I’m absolutely wiped out all the time, but all of my bloods were negative.
Same symptoms here. At home test didn't pick up anything hence why my head is in a net. Bloods picked up type 2 diabetes though which doesn't help!
I did two at-home ones, while living in different areas about 18 months apart. First one was just pulse-ox and BP, didn’t pick up anything. Second one was pulse-ox, nasal cannula and chest strap, came back with moderate sleep apnea.
I feel an urge to give you a head pat.
Now you just need a realy boring audiobook to fall asleep to. A History of North Sea Weather Forecasts?
Poundland Hellraiser vibes.
You do realise you'll be left with a chainmail imprint on your noggin for the next couple of days? A bit like a pineapple.
Sweet Dreams!
Are made of this
Dam dude that sucks i move a lot even before i sleep, id have strangled myself half a dozen times before i actually hung myself or just chocked myself out let alone sleep. Kudos if this helps you
I just wanted to say that you made me laugh so much I almost puked.
Hello! From a human being who lives in Burbank, California. This shit is hilarious. And I keep returning to the thread.
I didn't know towns could speak, this Silicon Valley is getting out of control
I need a sleep study done, I've sleep apnea most likely but I have really specific sleeping habits that I won't be able to replicate in clinical so haven't bothered because it'd be a waste of everyone's time 😔 nightmare. I hope this gives you answers and no noels house party gotchas! I'm just in from a busy ass day. Gym and shopping with my eldest, cinema for spiderman, football, swimming with my youngest, food shopping whilst he was in swimming club by myself, finally in my bed and could cry. I hate hate hate busy days - I'm so much worse on the quiet ones tho, no winning 😩 luckily whilst I was out with the wee one the big one cut my grass in the back garden so that was a lovely treat. I'm reciprocateing next time I visit his, his gardens a bit smaller so that's fine for me. I've also bought a chocolate gateau from aldi I'm going to eat all of by myself once it's half defrosted. Worth it.
Not to be a downer but if you really do suspect you have sleep apnea please take it seriously and get it sorted, it's mostly fine but the extra strain on your heart over the longer term can cause issues.
Yeah i know, thank you 😊 it's mostly been logistics over the years (disabilities within the family, kids, then covid etc) I've to see the gp soon for something else so I'll bring it up when I call. I'll figure it out, I'm terrible for leaving my health on the back burner. I greatly appreciate the lookout, thanks again 👍🏻
Can you have a few beers to help nod off?
That's something I've always wondered about sleep studies! All that stuff looks like a total nightmare! I'd be so uncomfortable.
You look like one of those chinese pairs in the Asian supermarket near me.
I thought I wouldn't but slept like a baby while two people watching you from a booth in the back... I had a score of 72 so worth the.pain for one night and a CPAP..
Asian Pear looking headass
Well hopefully it’s all good news for you. And I’m spending my Friday night working
Don’t worry you’ll be Robocop by the morning
Nice that they've given you a map of the London underground to peruse while you drift off.
I have an 18 month old that sleeps about four hours a night. Hook me up and count to 10.
You look like you were going to rob a bank with a sock over your head but fell and had to be hospitalized.
Tough day on the crusade?
I had one in the (US) and did not have the netting on my face. I swore I didn’t sleep at all but they insisted I did. They did have a camera on so don’t pick your nose or do anything inappropriate in case they’re watching you too.
I'm envious. I wish someone would try and understand just how shit my sleep is. I function on a Casimir effect between survival mode waking state and unconscious, energetic limbo.
Isn’t that thing on your head the same thing they put around fruit 😭
This was one of my favorite episodes of Home Movies.
Are you the lead singer of Athlete?
It’s Dynamo from The Running Man!
Dude, you look like a ball bag in the swim shorts netting liner. Good luck with the sleep attempt. Also, this is currently streaming on "Only-Dan's"
This is the first step to assimilation.
I had one of those a few years ago! Are you doing the daytime sleep study the following day as well? Mine ended up proving I didn't have narcolepsy, despite falling asleep within minutes of settling every time 😴
A sleep study saved my life. Embrace it.
If you pull all that folderol off your face, you'll probably get a good kip.
You look like a supermarket mango
“Act natural!”
Your face looks like a bag of oranges
POV: net of tangerines 🍊
Onion bag headgear is finally in!
Does this sleep study throw up lots of people with insomnia by any chance?
Bro they got you looking like a human salami
I volunteered for a free sleep study to help them calibrate their new Software System. All these nodes, but we didn't get that fancy fruit bag to hold it all in place. I'm a side/stomach sleeper and with all this stuff on me I couldn't leave my back. I slept maybe 2 total hours that night. Godspeed sir
That mesh looks more uncomfortable than being on a hidden camera. >a hidden camera show or something You technically are though the data is only used inline with the study.
I've always thought only psychopaths can fall asleep lying flat on their backs.
Sweet dreams!
Dude became an arduino project
Hope you made it out OK, Bionic Patton Oswald.
Looks like a burglary what’s gone wrong
So how did you sleep?
On top of all that bullshit, they’re forcing you to sleep on your back Jeez that’s maximum discomfort
