So I'm a physician and I support most things people do to import their health but I do try to make sure they're fully informed. In terms of fasting, this cohort study found an adverse association between fasting and cardiovascular death. There are limitations to the study (self-reported diet, etc.) but it followed 20,000 people for 8yrs which is pretty good. Definitely need more study in this area, especially considering the complexity of human metabolism. Here's the highlights from the study but the full text is available at that link:

  • People who followed a pattern of eating all of their food across less than 8 hours per day had a 91% higher risk of death due to cardiovascular disease.
  • The increased risk of cardiovascular death was also seen in people living with heart disease or cancer.
  • Among people with existing cardiovascular disease, an eating duration of no less than 8 but less than 10 hours per day was also associated with a 66% higher risk of death from heart disease or stroke.
  • Time-restricted eating did not reduce the overall risk of death from any cause. An eating duration of more than 16 hours per day was associated with a lower risk of cancer mortality among people with cancer.

Not videos that I know of but maybe? I Iove both of these though:

Not Another D&D Podcast. Hour long or so a week with interspersed non-play episodes. Hilarious improv people, great characters, lots of jokes, some good emoti stuff. Bunch of prior campaigns to listen already.

Pink Faux Hawk. Newish podcast playing Shadowrun. Funny, over-the-top action movie play style. One player has health issues so they're oe on uploads lately but I still love it.

Ha, sounds like you might have delivered in rural areas like I did.

Amazon drivers (the ones in budget or Amazon cans, not flex in personal cars) do okish. I just quit working for a third party company Amazon uses to shield them from liability and unions because it's miserable work but the pay was $22.50 which isn't too bad. The workload is crazy, it's all rush rush rush, and they don't care about you at all though so fuck them and Amazon. The drivers would appreciate the tip, they're generally hardworking and decent people.

I've been using Autosync for years with good results first with Drive and Dropbox and now Pcloud. Supports a lot of different cloud services though not Proton which is why I haven't started using that yet.

Oh yeah, a lot of common causes need to be evaluated plus we need to assess if the person should be on blood thinners due to the risk for a clot in the heart that can travel to the brain. I've admitted quite a few patients for new onset Afib due to their underlying causes as we didn't think they were good to go home. Admittedly most people would be fine and we can be too cautious due to legal liability and physician anxiety over bad outcomes but considering the possible consequences, it's not a terrible thing to do that.

Afib, which commonly causes palpitations, should be seen in the ER if you can't get in to your PCP that day. Could be caused by a lot of things and a work up is warranted including lab work, echo, etc if new.

If you in the US, you're primary care doc's office wil havel an after hours number to call if you're not sure. Unfortunately you'll likely be told to go to the ER if it's heart related because we have to err on the side of caution since we can't evaluate you very well over the phone. Urgent cares are hit or miss since they're staffed mostly by mid levels who may or may not be well trained but they can handle sore throats/colds, simple cuts/infections/foreign objects, STD testing, etc. depending on their facilities. I've been to one without basic labs which is crazy. I'd suggest calling you doc's office first to see if they have acute visit slots that day. A lot will.

I'm not sure, only ever used it with my PC. As for the touchpad, haven't noticed not having it but I mostly play COD and older aRPGs.

I just got a 8BitDo pro 2 because every PlayStation controller for the last 4yrs has broken in less than 6 months and it's great. Feels good, connects over Bluetooth, and has Hall effect joysticks that aren't prone to drift, which was the Sony controller main issue. All for $50. I think I'm done with Sony controllers.

Yeah, a good physical therapist will push you past your limits. From personal and professional experience, mental limitations will hold you back when you're rehabbing. With my less uptight patients I'll tell them physical therapists don't give a shit about your pain and discomfort, they're there to get you better. I love those fuckers, they do wonders.

UK narrow boats and canals. YouTube figured out I like nerdy people being passionate and interesting about the nerdy things they nerd about. Do you think I'm gonna go on a canal boat tour when I go to England? You're god damn right I am.
