This might be a bit weird, but I just wanted to share it somewhere and thought 'casual' might be a good place.

I will sometimes have a few hours or even a day through which I can feel my heart palpitate every few minutes at random. This has always worried me because my heart is... well... rather important to me. I once spoke to a doctor about this, but there was nothing to measure because I can't trigger these events on command. The doctor did say that palpitations are common and usually benign.

Still, it bothered me to not know specifically what is happening with my heart when I feel a palpitation. So, about two years ago I bought a small personal electrocardiogram monitor. This morning, finally, I woke up with palpitations. I stuck the leads of the ECG, monitored for a few minutes, and was able to measure my heart as it palpitates!

In the image that I have attached, you can see that in between the regular beats there are a few irregular beats that are closer than usual to the pr

Anyone remember how Trump started Space Force? I was on Space Force, and I got sent to the moon. We were called Moon Force, and there was only one other soldier there on the moon with me.

Back home on Earth, I wanted to mail her a card, so I looked in the card aisle for cards related to Moon Force. They only had one relevant card, it said "Don't Moon Force me to go". I thought it was funny so I got it for her and mailed it.

In my theory of the world, the pipe tobaccos that win big are the ones that taste like foods. Escudo for example tastes like a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich; My Mixture 965 tastes like gingerbread, and those Virginia flakes taste like sourdough bread toast with honey (if you want it really tasty, take a spare honey jar and fill it with strips of fresh ginger).

Sutliff Dark Decadence comes from this school of thought because it tastes like pancakes and maple syrup:

Summary: a cool-burning aromatic with maple, whisky, and vanilla notes.

 

I started out, before I knew just about anything, smoking a blend called Blender's Gold "Golden Burley." It was a Cavendish blend with maple, vanilla, and whisky toppings, at nearly medium strength, and it may not be highly ranked by the Instagram and forum pipe-smokers, but it was pretty good for the price and a very comfortable smoke. "Dark Decadence" follows the sam

Does anyone else find that their ability to tackle a to-do list scales inversely to the size of the to-do list?

That you end up doing no steps of a multi-step task far more often than one-step tasks?

Sometimes someone will ask me to do something and I will start doing it immediately and they will say, Oh, It's Not Urgent and I don't know how to explain that if I don't do it right then it will fall off the list.

Dear comrades, If you feel a bit out of it today, here is a little video I made some time ago. Folks've been telling me it makes them feel better.

Is it a social experiment?

Am I wrong? There are bits of it that just feel -- generated!

There's even a fully automated toaster that capitalism won't let us have.

This one I want to say has to be trained on their writing, though?

But we don't have a toaster in our house. We have a toaster oven. And a toaster oven is a very simple appliance to make. All you need is a toaster and a bit of time. It's very easy to make. It takes about 10 minutes and you can use it to toast your eggs, toast your toast, toast your toast and toast your toast. It's that simple. But it's not that simple. It's not that easy to make. And it's not that easy to do. We have no toaster oven in our house. We have a toaster oven that we buy at the store.

The topic drift... it has to be. It has to be. Right?

I'll be X.

This one is just what was recommended by someone on Hacker News talking about the Studio Ghibli images that were just released, and it got me thinking. Anyone gone through those 2000s old digital photos with this stuff? Had any luck with it?

I would make related communities, but I don't know how to identifie birds and bugs.

People talking about the Analogue led me to the Nanoloop app. I am trying to learn how to put simple things together and I'm curious if anyone here has used it (or any other really simple sequencer)

I mean, I haven't gotten it to work yet. but if or when it does, it is going to revolutionize my quarantine.

anybody been watching anything good with friends?

There's an article I read a while ago about the inventor of a product who started acting irrationally and now is a shell of his former self, does anyone know what I'm talking about? I forget the person's name or the company

Just curious, if your workplace has a union or not. If not, are you gonna push for one?
