Not look at Atlas for 24 hours after the debates as we'll probably overreact

Record it and watch it later, once you know who "won" (bonus: gives you the option of not watching it if your candidate didn't "win").

1. Don't spend too much time on Atlas during the actual debate.

2. Don't go to any website that has a live comments section.

Watch it separately from my DW on the web. That way I can focus on the impact it is having real time instead  of spending time explaining to my DW real time some of the policies  background they are debating about.  My DW is undecided lean Trump but most likely is disengaged enough that she will not watch the debate unless I ask her to watch it with me.   For me reading commentary/reactions to the debate is much more fun than the debate itself.

Strap yourself to the chair with the TV on, with no throw able objects near by. Hang on tight!

1. Don't watch the debates.
2. Relax with some Bach, and scotch and drambuie (Rusty Nail).
3. Come back to Atlas at 8 PM PDT for the post-mortem.
4. Go to bed.
