In December 2022 I realized I skipped seeing my cardiologist for 6 years. Did a 24 hour monitor. Apparently my heart rate was dropping to 21 bpm and stopping pumping for up to three seconds. So in February 2023 they cut me open and give me a pacemaker. Months go on and I am still getting winded. So they did another heart Cath procedure (on the 28th) and it turns out my heart is doing worse than thought even, so in the next 3-5 years I'll need a heart transplant. But the make up of my organ layout means I'll need a specialist, which just all sounds so slim. I am 33 and so fucking tired.

I hope to leave some of this stress behind. I know there's a lot I can't escape now, but I hope I can leave some of the anger and fear behind. It's been hard to be a good dad or partner this year just from feeling so stressed, and if I don't know how long we will have I just want my daughter to remember a happier dad.

I don't know if you're into podcasts, but Adam conover's podcast Factually is really great. They have an episode called " what's the left gets wrong about the right" and it dives into how the right is primarily a reactionary movement to social and economic progress to try to maintain power for the owning and ruling class. It's a really great episode and it hits a lot on some of the similar points that you were mentioning with the unions. It's definitely worth checking it out If you've got like an hour to kill, It's super dope.

Just to make sure I'm understanding correctly, if you have the mod installed but you didn't launch it on Christmas Day during that window you're fine? Or should I just change my passwords?

Every couple months I make the mistake of thinking that I'll speed up mash the potatoes by using an emulsion blender. Then it's just potato snot

I'm very baked and I want some minor clarification before I attempt to do something stupid at some point. But you say put it all in the stand mixer and then you say boil it. Am I able to put my kitchen aid bowl on the stove? Again, not trying to be an ass. Genuinely baked in the bathtub

That's madness. I want to try it.

It's definitely "I was the highschool quarterback in 1997" vibes.

Ah fuck me. I missed that. He named his AI grok. What a fucking dick.

Interesting. Did this glitch or did you reply to the wrong thread?

Please do it to Eliquis. My fucking insurance just jumped it up to 275 a month.

Edit: also, I don't have anybody to vent this too. But the hospital just called and I have to have another heart surgery In 22 days. I had open heart surgery 9 months ago. I'm just so fucking tired

That sounds dope. I'm putting that on my Kindle right now

Edit: actually I'm having trouble finding it, The book that's coming up doesn't sound like it. And the other one that is coming up is a romance about hockey. Do you happen to know the author?

Edit #2: I think I found it, " the light of other days" by Arthur c. Clarke sounds like it might be the book you were talking about.

Oh man, I remember the titty tattoo. 12-year-old me had to check my health like every 3 seconds.
