  • You can tinker with your settings too. There's a piece of software called sleepyhead that will display all of the stats from your unit's SD card, and you can get your settings dialed in using it.

    I had to because my pressure would go up so high that it would cause my mask to leak and I had to wake up and restart the unit to get it to a normal pressure.

  • The people I'm talking about are severely mentally ill. Many people choose not to take their meds (for good reason, antipsychotics have super shitty side effects), and many of those people choose to self medicate with drugs and alcohol. They still need help, but just providing housing won't solve the issue.

    When the topic of homelessness is brought up, people forget that there's two types of homeless people. Those who just need some help to get back on their feet, and those who are chronically homeless because they literally can't participate in society without violating their rights.

    I'm not saying they don't deserve help, quite the opposite. I'm saying that spending $30b on housing won't end an issue that's not based on housing costs or availability.

  • I have no idea what you're talking about.

    There are actually two separate homeless issues. The first is a lack of services for people who just need a little help getting back on their feet. In this case, temporary housing is a way to treat the issue.

    But, the second homeless issue is way more complex. The chronically homeless aren't just people who are down on their luck. They're people with severe mental illness, drug addiction, or both. Some people straight up don't want to be part of society at all. For those people, throwing housing at them isn't going to be an end to their situation.

  • Housing homeless people won't end homelessness. You have to also invest heavily in mental health care and addiction counseling. You'd also have to commit thousands against their will.

    The homelessness issue is multifaceted, and throwing housing at the problem won't end it.
