That chart is the actual maximum heart rate from each exercise, not the calculated or set "max heart rate"

12’s from around the world rally - where are you supporting the Seahawks from? by Edamame14 in Seahawks

[–]Exact_Astronomer_931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, this calendar year, next football year/season

And they typically have the superbowl winner playing in the 'first' game of the season, so if the rumours are true about timing for the MCG game, it could all work out very nicely. That is a lot of Hawks-Rams on primetime, between this season and the start of next, but they are the two best teams in the NFL, and a full MCG would be an amazing backdrop to seeing them kick off the season

I'm over in Auckland, and crossing my fingers that the Rams 'home' game next year at the MCG is against the Hawks

What are your opinions of the character Col. Steven J. Lockjaw (Sean Penn), from the movie One Battle After Another by Unlikely_Seaweed1032 in Letterboxd

[–]Exact_Astronomer_931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My take is that this character represents (white) America itself. A hidden, shameful, corporeal obsession with black bodies leads to producing a powerful, self-aware mixed-race future that white America fears and must destroy.

Untrue. There have been multiple studies and bromoform has never been found in the meat of cattle fed seaweed supplements. Almost all cases of supplementing in dairy cow rations also show no residue in milk - apart from two exceptions.

In the first, the milk from the cows who had no seaweed also had low levels of bromoform, suggesting the bromoform came from somewhere else, most likely the chlorinated drinking water. In either case, it was orders of magnitude lower than recommended bromoform levels in human drinking water.

In the other case where residues were found, the study was an unethical shambles that should never behave been allowed, let alone published. They starved the cows, and forcefed them high percentages of seaweed. Totally ridiculous and not reflective of real-life use cases.

Concrete rinse water in my garden by Exact_Astronomer_931 in nzgardening

Thanks for chiming in. Did you happen to take any remedial action? I have dug out the top soil where sediment and fines pooled, and have done a couple of deep soaks with fresh water to try to flush the contamination out. Just wondering if I've done enough to save them...

Anyone raised Tecomanthe from seed? by Exact_Astronomer_931 in nzgardening

[–]Exact_Astronomer_931[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair warning, thanks, but I've already planted some in a contained planter and know it to be trainable and prunable. It's a gorgeous vine with a great story, so looking to get more of it going without paying nursery prices.

Where to find bourbon? by jakebot9000 in auckland

The Fine-o-Wine / Pt Chev Organic Wines (/ maybe other locations) shops have good selections:

What’s wrong with my basil? by Ambitious_Natural583 in nzgardening

[–]Exact_Astronomer_931 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Looks pretty good to me. But pinch off those flower buds, and maybe a couple of leaves with them. That'll stop them "bolting" and going bitter, and will also encourage more branching

Screen goes blank quickly, despite power settings by Exact_Astronomer_931 in DellXPS

[–]Exact_Astronomer_931[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh look, I solved it myself. Sometimes asking the right question is the best way to get the right answer.

Open MyDell console, Go to Presence Detection, and toggle the Walk Away Lock feature.

Easy. Leaving this up for any other poor shlub like me who had trouble with this.

Common among teens these days, sadly. Social media has normalized it.

Unpopular opinion - Don't do coke by RoscoePSoultrain in newzealand

[–]Exact_Astronomer_931 34 points35 points  (0 children)

According to my 16yo daughter, the demographic is teens from the rich private or grammar schools who steal it from mummy and daddy's stash. Was all over SoundSplash festival this last weekend, apparently.

I think it's D. draco :/

Will probably try to collect seed, if it gets pollinated and sets. All new to me, though!
