These are so cute!

Excellent news

Yes, please OP, check those vitamin D levels, B levels and thyroid. I have issues waking up too, and all my stuff is within range so I feel ya. I love my bed.

The only thing that propels me out of bed is the new puppy jumping on top of me at 7am for breakfast because she can’t stop, won’t stop. Have you tried a puppy? (Kidding)

So say you have a picture, and it’s made up of pixels, and you want to send that picture to someone but in order to do so, you have to make it smaller. You could send the most important bits and allow reconstruction on the receiver’s end, or you could some how make it smaller without changing the information. So if your picture is four blue pixels, followed by 3 red, and 2 yellow you could send the entire string like that, versus blue, blue, blue, blue, red, red, red, yellow, yellow. This would be lossless and are generally GIF, PNG, etc. JPEG is lossy compression, and it would be like telling your friend receiving the picture “I have a picture of a bird, here’s part of a beak, one wing, a tail, and one foot.” Your friend, being smart, can reconstruct the data that wasn’t sent (other wing and foot, body) because they have a good idea how the rest of the bird should look based on the parts they see. Lossy is better for smaller compression, but lossless is important if all the information needs to reach the receiver. Hope that helps.

You write your emotions at the time in a really compelling and thoughtful way. I enjoyed this a lot.
