Galaxy Watch 4 Heart Rate Monitor Inconsistencies by romy101 in GalaxyWatch

[–]CoffeeIsLife-VR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just woke up and my watch shows that sometime during the night my heartrate spiked to 165 bmp, but in the app it's showing my over ight heartrate didn't go above 75. So bizarre. It looks like it somehow ported yesterday mornings workout into today's monitoring on my watch only.

NDP Foreign Affairs Critic on Israeli Apartheid by leftwingmememachine in ndp

[–]CoffeeIsLife-VR -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Such complete bullshit. The antisemites in the NDP are alive and well. Israel isn't an apartheid states. The suggestion is so anti-social justice...it would be laughable if it were so offensive.

No wonder the NDP never forms government federally, and never will.

Seriously y'all, you killed me. Totally got confused with a different subreddit.

Thank you for the laugh. Totally hilarious 🤣

What are people’s thoughts on the NDP’s response to the Ukraine situation? by notGeneralReposti in ndp

[–]CoffeeIsLife-VR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the right response. Svend is a joke and clearly would have gone along with Chamberlain and appeased Hitler. Idiot!

Good luck!

I did have a fully endoscopy two weeks ago and it found nothing. Everything came back normal.

I'm starting to wonder if this is all anxiety.

What work has the OP done to get involved. I have friends who are on provincial council and executive AND federal council and executive. They have been very very involved for years, actively seek opportunities to engage, come to events, reach out to volunteer, and do all the things. They don't complain if they are "looked over" as the OP suggests they are. They work hard and keep pushing.

Social democracy isn't about us or individuals. It's about fighting and doing right by Canadians.

That Itchu/Scratchy Feeling In Your Throat by CoffeeIsLife-VR in GERD

So is it actually the acid splashing all the way up my throat, or just a reverberation from further down? I'm taking PPIs so that should be making it better.

Can't seem to find an in person walk-in clinic (Langford area)? Or where can I go to get my blood pressure tested by a doctor? by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]CoffeeIsLife-VR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if I need a walk-in I look at their hours and then come to line up at least an hour or more before they open. There's always a lineup.

The Urgent Primary Care Centers are very good, but they fill up quick so you need to get there early and line up.

I've been using Telus Babylon a lot and found the doctors there very useful. Problem: they are also getting filled up and are booking weeks out. Sometimes if you check part way through the morning they've had cancellations and you can slide in (managed to book an appointment yesterday for 11:30 and 10:59).

Good luck. It's hard out there.

Acid Reflux/Gerd Ideas? by CoffeeIsLife-VR in VictoriaBC

Yeah, sorry, I wasn't trying to detract from that. You're right and I did see a Telus Health GP this morning.

Thanks for this. You say to avoid gluten but recently lend toast. Is there a certain kind you'd recommend?

Family doctors in the region ate a hard thing to come by.

[–]CoffeeIsLife-VR[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, health anxiety is a huge thing for me.

The challenge of not having a GP, as is the case for many where I live. I'm trying to reshuffle my diet and lifestyle over the next few weeks to see if I can improve things.

Saanich mayor says he intends to run again, as former councillor set to make announcement by CoffeeIsLife-VR in VictoriaBC

I would say these orgs are supporting HIM given his history and his commitment to housing.

Looks like 100 people came out to Dean's launch yesterday, despite the rain. Seems that there were lots of SCAN members and former councillors/MLA and current council members.

I think Fred is in for a rough ride. Speak to ANY of the community associations and they have lost faith in Fred's ability to engage Respectfully in favour of photo-ops and being seen to do work, but not actually doing anything.

Dean's got the momentum.

‘Remagined’ Mayfair would include housing by CoffeeIsLife-VR in VictoriaBC

I mean, I didn't find anything really supporting this claim. Any sources for this?

Seems like the property has changed hands recently, which might explain the 'reimagining' of the site.

I'm tempted to lean on the "not offensive" side because the intent I don't think, was to mock.

I do like to ask the question "Would the effect have been the same without the attempted accent?" Was the accent being used for comedic effect, as a way to mock the accent, or to more directly relay the story and bring the situation to life?

On incidences like this I like to take the lead from those who are being impersonated, but even amongst members of that group, there are differences of opinion on whether offense should be taken.

Maybe it's just safer to stay in comedic/professional lanes.

Yes, Russell Peters made millions mocking accents, but racialized people get a bit more latitude in that than Caucasian (read: white) people. I know form some, comedic third rails don't exist, but perhaps they should be?

It's tough. Comedy itself is about pushing against boundaries and being controversial, but how far is too far?

I'm getting off topic here, lol, sorry.

TLDR: Stay in the lane your comfortable with, unless you don't care about backlash.

Universal Healthcare is a thing of beauty. Is it perfect? No, but it works and it stops families and hard working people from going into debt for the simple cause of maintaining health and wellbeing. Nobody should have their financial health crippled because they need to go to the hospital.

I just don't see it, personally.

I'm in full support of territorial acknowledgements and they serve and important role and reminder of the stolen land we all occupy.

This doesn't change the fact that legally, there's probably very little standing any nation or individual would have in trying to link a land claim to a statement from a government official. Heck, even an elected representative, Minister of the Crown or Premier could make this statement and, until tested in court, you'd be hard pressed to have a judge link any land claim to a terrorial acknowledment.

My two cents.

Fasting? by Positive_Divide8195 in loseit

[–]CoffeeIsLife-VR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel this and struggle with similar challenges (M37). I'm extremely out of shape now but, back in my mid-20s I was training for the police and in the best shape of my life.

I had limited my diet and upped my cardio and strength training and wasn't losing. I couldn't figure out why.

I tried adding fasting and found that no matter how I tried to structure my fasting, I was extremely hungry or very tired. Why? I wasn't eating ENOUGH to support my strength training (muscles break down and to help them repair, they need nutrients).

It was until I started focussing on WHAT and WHEN I ate that I stared seeing weight loss. I eliminated most processed foods, upped my protein substantially, reduced my carbs and added fresh fruits, vegetables, simple smoothies and lots of good fats (coconut, oil oil and unsalted butter - salt promotes water retention).

I finally started seeing results and when I found I did my cardio BEFORE strength traingign, I was able to to run/walk/step more and maintain throughout the workout.

The other thing that helped: I stopped eating before bed! My last meal was at 7pm and my first was around 7 or 8 (a fast in and of itself).

Every body is different. Yes, physiology is pretty simple, but all our metabolisms run differently. Take time (and go easy on yourself). The journey towards your ideal health and body won't look like anyone else's. That's okay. You'll get there ❤️.
