    I didn't have issues with sleep/wake until somewhat recently (not sure when) and found this post. Grabbing the patch from the commit referenced and using it on top of 6.12 and 6.13…

    Wow, that is a lot of tabs. I always thought it was funny when people would say they have "a lot" and it was dozens or hundreds at most, while I was in the 1500 range. I did close …

    Thanks for mentioning this, hadn't heard of it and looking forward to watching!

    I won't get into an argument about MOND. Don't take my word for it, take the vast majority (all but a few?) of anyone working in the field. And don't take Milgrom's word for it (or…
