THIS IS THE SHIT!!
Great pick me up ANYTIME!
This is real. I stumbled on this in a lounge on a train trip. Got home and ordered a bunch. Put it out at a party and gave some to fam and friends. Nobody didn't LOVE it.
I absolutely adore my peanut butter chocolate from awake! I have used them for long shifts at work, as a mid run snack or just a general pick me up when I can't be bothered to make coffee. I am so excited to try some of the other flavors.
Dr. Jack Harper: [closing narration] At 6:32 this morning, on Thursday the 1st of November, Clayton Beresford Jr. died on my operating table. Two and a half hours later, his life was saved. There are no excuses for what we did. There's no defense, no-one to blame but us. We got what we deserved. Clay would have his revenge, and justice would finally be served. But despite all the secrets, despite all the lies, and a terrible loss, one thing really matters now. He... is... awake.
Awake is a 2021 American apocalyptic science fiction thriller film, directed by Mark Raso, from a screenplay he wrote alongside Joseph Raso. It stars Gina Rodriguez, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Barry Pepper, Finn Jones, Shamier Anderson, Ariana Greenblatt, Frances Fisher, Elias Edraki, Lucius Hoyos and Gil Bellows. Rodriguez plays Jill (Rodriguez) who discovers her daughter (Greenblatt) may be immune to a disorder causing mass chronic sleep deprivation and attempts to bring her daughter to a laboratory to help develop a cure.
The film was released by Netflix on June 9, 2021,[1][2] and received generally negative reviews from film critics who criticized the derivative plot and lack of tension. However, it reached number one worldwide on the platform when it was released.[3]
While driving, their car loses power and is hit by another car, sending it into a lake. Matilda drowns but is revived by a police officer who reveals that everything that uses electricity is malfunctioning. At the hospital, they learn that coma patients have awoken. At home, the family is unable to sleep. On her way to work, Jill observes that the whole neighborhood is awake. Psychiatrist Dr. Murphy explains that people appear to be no longer able to fall asleep and they will soon suffer from sleep deprivation. The only known exception is an old woman who is being studied at a military base called The Hub, in hopes of finding a cure.
Jill remembers that Matilda appeared to be asleep that morning, and fears that she may be dead. She finds Matilda at church, where the churchgoers want to sacrifice her. After an officer opens fire, the ensuing chaos allows Jill to flee with her kids. Noah tells a reluctant Jill that they should bring Matilda to The Hub.
En route to The Hub, an escaped prisoner steals their car with Matilda in it. Jill and Noah are saved from the other hostile prisoners by the thief of their car, Dodge. Upon reaching The Hub, Jill has Dodge leave and enters The Hub alone. She finds the other woman who can sleep in ill condition. Murphy explains that there is no cure and lab workers have been using a drug that helps the brain function to keep them going. However, it is only temporary and causes neurological damage. The army confronts the family and Matilda tearfully admits that she can sleep.
Doctors decide to find what makes Matilda special. Matilda sees an ape in the lab that doesn't fall asleep when given anesthetic gas. The doctor reveals that chimps are the only animals besides humans that can't sleep due to their biological closeness to humans. They test the gas on Matilda and she falls asleep. Jill is handcuffed in a room where she experiences delirium.
Murphy explains to Jill that the sleep disorder was caused by the same solar flare that knocked out power, affecting humans' brains. Dodge is taken as a guard and given stimulants. The woman who can sleep goes into cardiac arrest and dies. Noah is taken away for experiments. As the soldiers start to go insane and kill each other, Jill rescues Matilda with the help of one of the doctors. Noah, hallucinating, electrocutes himself. Jill and Matilda try resuscitating him but suffer a mild electrocution from improperly using the defibrillator.
The next morning, Matilda notices that Noah was successfully revived and he awakens, saying that he was dreaming. As Jill is exhausted and dying, Matilda realizes the reason that she and Noah could sleep was because they had both temporarily died. They then drown Jill in a lake and attempt to resuscitate her. She awakens just as the camera cuts to the credits.
In May 2019, it was announced Gina Rodriguez had joined the cast of the film, with Mark Raso directing from a screenplay by himself and Joseph Raso and with Netflix distributing.[4] In August 2019, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Barry Pepper, Finn Jones, Shamier Anderson, Ariana Greenblatt, Frances Fisher, Lucius Hoyos and Gil Bellows joined the cast of the film.[5]
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 24% of 51 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 4.4/10. The website's consensus reads: "A scattered and shallow disaster flick, Awake will have audiences reaching for the snooze button."[8] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 35 out of 100, based on 13 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable" reviews.[9]
Nick Allen at The Playlist called it "abysmal" gave the film a "D". He wrote that the movie "proves it has no idea how to present its one original idea with visual thrills, and it foolishly underestimates how performance is key to horror like this."[10]
PowerToys Awake is a tool for Windows designed to keep a computer awake without having to manage its power & sleep settings. This can be helpful when running time-consuming tasks, ensuring that the computer does not go to sleep or turn off its screens.
PowerToys Awake does not modify any of the Windows power plan settings, and does not depend on a custom power plan configuration. Instead, it spawns background threads that tell Windows that they require a specific state of the machine.
While PowerToys Awake can keep the computer awake indefinitely or temporarily, in its default state the displays connected to the machine will turn off. If you need the displays to be available, use the Keep screen on switch, which will keep displays active.
This feature only works if Awake is running in one of the three Keep awake states. It does not survive a computer restart. It also does not prevent any user-initiated actions, such as manually putting the computer to sleep or hibernating it.
PowerToys Awake can also be executed as a standalone application, directly from the PowerToys folder. The following command line arguments can be used when running PowerToys.Awake.exe from the terminal or via a .lnk shortcut file:
The settings.json configuration file is located at %HomePath%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\PowerToys\Awake\. "Keep awake temporarily" options can be adjusted by modifying the "customTrayTimes" value, an array consisting of name and duration (in seconds) to stay awake. For example: "customTrayTimes":"8 hours":28800.
This utility is part of the Microsoft PowerToys utilities for power users. It provides a set of useful utilities to tune and streamline your Windows experience for greater productivity. To install PowerToys, see Installing PowerToys.
When someone cuts into your brain, it feels squelchy. As the knife goes in you can almost hear a sound like you're cutting into a juicy steak. The cutting has nothing on the drilling, though. When someone drills into your skull it's like an airplane taking off or a builder's drill digging into your head.
I first noticed something was up when I started dropping stuff. In the space of a week, I smashed a bowl of soup all over my kitchen and lost a round of drinks on the floor of a bar. I was 25 and looking for a new job. I'm usually very calm, but I found myself getting stressed and awkwardly emotional about interviews. I didn't think anything of it at first, other than that I was being a bit of an idiot. Then I got a numbness all down the left side of my body.
I went to the doctor and they said they thought it might be a trapped nerve, but a few days later I started getting dull headaches in the morning too, like I'd been drinking the night before. My girlfriend took me to the ER to get checked out and the next day I was rushed into hospital. I had a CT scan and they found a benign tumor the size of a raspberry that was dripping blood into my brain. I thought I was going to die.
I was in hospital for five days while they gave me steroids to stop the bleeding. Then I met with my surgeon to discuss having the tumor removed. When she first gave me the option to be awake, I was like, Oh my god, what the hell?! Only a few hospitals offer the operation and she'd only done it 50 times before.
She explained that, because of the location of my tumor, if I was asleep during the procedure there was a 25 percent chance I'd wake up with a disability. If I was awake there would only be a one percent chance. Lots of people still turn down the procedure because they're scared of being awake, but I rationalized: If I'm asleep I won't know if I'm dying, whereas if I'm awake I can do something about it.
For four months before I could have the operation I had to meet up with a neuropsychologist to practice tests in an MRI scanner that I'd repeat in the surgery so they could map my brain. They'd put a book in front on me on a computer screen and I'd read it in my head but not speak it. They could then see which parts of my brain my tumour was close to. There were memory tests as well, which I still do now: They asked me to name basic objects or recite the days of the week.
I don't remember being anxious on the morning of the operation but my girlfriend says I was. I had to lie on my side with my legs propped up so the surgeon could get to the tumour. There was an X drawn on my head to pinpoint the spot.
