The Death Star is a weapon because, a planet can technically dodge.

That's no weapon, it's a moon. Or something.

It’s not a moon

So nuclear bombs are actually not weapons of mass destruction, but Offensuvely Utilized Demolition Tools of Mass Destruction, because cities can't dodge.

Do nuclear explosions allow a reflex save for half damage? Improved evasion could do something with that if so, what with it being an AoE

You could try, but half of a very large number is still a very large number.

[Kagus]

Improved evasion! Save for none, fail for half!

Question, how do you quiet your brain of random thoughts so you can sleep?

[Il Palazzo]

Alcohol. Lots and lots of alcohol - you gotta drown that monkey in your brain real good.

Meditation works too, I guess.

Some of the same meditative efforts used to attain 無心の心 might do what you want, if you'd like something you can do easily.

A hammer.

I've been through a sleep meds of both sleeping and falling asleep variety, and I've settled for Melatonin. It's been having the best effect for not leaving you feeling like you're unable to wake up the next morning.

Question, how do you quiet your brain of random thoughts so you can sleep?

Some people go with the "write it out in a notebook" method. Supposedly it's supposed to get it out of your system, so to speak.

Another aid might be making sure the brain goes into rest mode properly before sleep, ie the commonplace advice of not using screens or high-impression media for 1-2 hours before sleep.

Also the concept of "sleep hygiene", primarily through the concept of not using the bed for anything but sleep. Don't eat or watch movies in bed, don't do anything that requires you to stay awake while in bed, and if you're lying there and not getting to sleep, stand up and go somewhere else until you are ready to sleep.

The overall idea is to train the brain to associate the bed with sleep and only sleep, so that once you lie down you're basically conditioned to just doze off, since that's what the brain has been trained to think about doing when in that situation.


Have I done this? God no, I've been awful about keeping things separate like that... But I've got a lovely little printed guide for doing it!

[delphonso]

I stick to that kind of thing pretty rigidly and I feel it has helped a lot. Beds are for sex and sleep, and luckily my body hasn't gotten those two confused yet. Also keep your bedroom dark - thick curtains will do you well if you're anywhere with a lot of light and noise.

The exception I have to all this is reading in bed, though I avoid heavy reading in bed, if I can. I.E. I'm not reading political theory or psychology in bed, pretty much only fiction of the light variety.

[CABL]

But what if I read books on the bed during the evening? Not necessarily laying on the bed, mind you.
