Exactly. I was at a different doctor's and being given an exam by the nurse. I brought this up and he pointed out that since I was perfusing just fine as shown by the oxygen sensor on my finger, ipso facto I had no coronary issues.

I have similar high 40's bpm and had a similar experience with my doctor sending me for all manner of tests. All okay. He claimed, and the article seems to back him up, that unless I was a marathoner (I'm not) my heart rate shou

I stopped reading when I read: "Eight in 10 Americans say they will work well into their 60s or skip retirement entirely." Uhm, the system is kind of designed that way. Why is alarming that most will work "well into their 60

That is a difference of degree not kind. Without modern technology (shelter, heat, clothing, potable water, easily obtainable food) I'd quickly perish where i sit as would most others of our species. Sending people to a planet that i

I worked for a small company with 20ish employees during the post 2000 tech downturn. There were a number of layoffs and I got a 25% haircut and was happy to remain. It was a struggle for us financially but not a catastrophe. Eventually

Kitchen and dining room circuits are required to be 20 A and GFCI in the US so you could up the wattage if need be. I doubt such a thing exists, though.

Same for New Jersey. I was informed somewhere along the line that it was originally for safety and never got repealed. Now it seems to have morphed into a jobs "plan".

I have never understood calling Europe a continent. The division strikes me as political rather than geographic. And no, I can't be convinced otherwise.

Although not true, I always liked to think that taxes on my vehicle, fuel, and tolls paid for the infrastructure upon which I drive. I have no idea whether those are sufficient, but I'll bet in my state they state of high taxes and cr

Completely agree. I first saw this on the Grantland.com site. I loved it the moment I first came across it there.

I find the phrase "Tits up" simultaneously offensive and hilarious. Thinking of saying it in front of my mother tilts me more towards offensive, but I still smile...

Is unlimited, but throttled, still unlimited? If so my $30/mo. phone plan is unlimited. I'm not sure it is capped at all. It may drop to 1200 baud, but won't ever run out.

I read that statement as almost guaranteed for every location on earth. The only way it is not true if no one born there leaves. For a location of any size that would be unexpected.

WTF?? So,, yes,, use double-commas to drive home your point since you must have had some reason to put them there. I will continue to use double space after the end of a sentence for the same reason.
