  • It's even worse now. I have an insta account for my business, and overnight likes on pics plummeted. Now, since they presumably want to compete with TikTok, you only populate on peoples feeds with videos, and posting CONSTANTLY. If you stop for a day or two, you basically start back over. I don't want to spend time on there, I don't want to post multiple times daily, but to stay "relevant" you don't have a choice.

  • Eventually, both husband and I would say I'm a runner, when they would come in, and that seemed to assuage their concerns. The first handful asked that, and I'd say yes, and they seemed good with that answer. I'm sure a lot of their concern was because I was there for heart things to begin with.

    I did also learn that day that the apple watch heart rate was spot on with the one in the hospital. The hospital turned the alarm off pretty quickly since it wouldn't shut up.

    I've had other way weirder experiences with nurses freaking about my low heartrate though.

    FWIW "normal" heart rates are like 60-100 (and women apparently have higher. I'm a woman) so I can see a wildly low deviation setting some alarm bells off, but if patient isn't even surprised or concerned, that should be a pretty good indication of it being normal for them.

  • @ryathal back in the day, when most wireless mice and keyboards had those little dongles, and people used to keep their computer tower either on the corner of their desk or under it, I used to have a prank war going with a coworker. We used to do dumb shit like fill a shit load of little cups up with water and set them everywhere in their office, or glitter/confetti in things that when you opened them it went everywhere. Or wrap everything on the desk in foil or saran wrap type things.

    Coworker was older than me, and not the most computer literate guy. I'd go into his office, and disconnect the dongle, while he was away from his desk. Watching him rage about his piece of shit computer was always great amusement.

  • You CAN, it just won’t sound as good.

    I’ll make sure to tell my heart to get its shit together and be less efficient.

  • My resting heart rate is comically low. Like 43bpm low. I couldn’t imagine 86bpm as resting. 50 feels fast to me at this point.

    Every damn time someone puts one of those stupid heart rate monitors on me they start panicking.

    I ended up in the er (not my idea) and once I was back in the room, with the monitor on, every five minutes or so, some nurse would poke their head in “ you feeling ok?” “You sure?” “Your heart rate is really low. You sure you’re ok?”

  • I think high fructose corn syrup taste like literal poison. I can taste it in anything and everything it's in. Funny thing though. Your tastebuds acclimate, and you get used to flavors (either HFCS or Aspartame). I still struggle with stevia, sometimes, but it's far easier to look past than high fructose corn syrup.
