I've never heard of cycling it. We're you a teen during the steroid arrival? Maybe people were confusing things. I've always just done 5mg a day, but now people are talking about taking mega doses of like 20-30mg a day, shrug
Some clocks also update over radio. Oregon Scientific used to make the best bedside atomic clock ever. Super simple, with the projector, was an atomic clock that updated automatically via radio and had a pleasant, crescendo alarm that would start off nice and get more aggressive. They don't make it anymore :/
And to go with that, if you ever want people to like you, just ask questions about themselves. People have a tendency to like talking about themselves.
