The difference is sleep deprivation is a type of torture. Living in the South, hers would sometimes keep going off multiple nights in a row during some parts of the year. So your analogy isn’t quite sufficient.
My mother had one of these. Turned it off because it ruined too many nights of sleep for basic thunderstorm warnings, or tornado watches and warnings that weren’t focused enough. Eventually, the need for sleep outweighed the possible benefits.

The WNBA is a joke within a joke. I can’t imagine a worse way to spend my time. You would literally have to pay me to watch it. Now I would watch the NBA champions play the WNBA champions, provided they play with the men’s basketball and provide incentives for the men to play well. 422 - 8? LOL.
Why do so many people on this site care about a Women’s basketball league and obsess over a woke, groveling player that constantly acts like she is in a struggle session?

A little misleading. Most of the people hated us because we propped up the Shah in the first place. This makes it sound like Carter caused Iran to hate the USA. The seeds of that hatred were all planted by the CIA coup in the 50’s (operation Ajax), that ended up installing our preferred leaders in the first place to protect UK oil interests.
Carter had a weak response, but he didn’t cause it.
1. Wouldn’t really stop usage, just chase it underground.
2. Would have caused major economic pain
3. May have given the House and Senate to the Dems.
4. Government overreach
I expect Massie to do some over the top grandstanding about something he disagrees with her about in the next week. He can get away with being opposed to many things Trump in his district, and still keep his seat, but he can’t get away with being praised by Crockett, and keep his seat.
