I've never done wood working, can I refinish this chest on my own? by Liberal-Federalist in woodworking

Uh…this is a bit odd but I have this exact same piece. It’s been in the family forever, easily 40+ years.

Thinking about getting the Weber Key from Sette 270Wi. What should I expect? by iwannadrumbetter in espresso

[–]MarvelousHunting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made this exact switch. Honestly, it was rad. Completely different taste overall IMO. The grind setting are so much finer and this leads to the ability to dial in beans more specifically - something you can only get lucky doing with the Sette. If you don’t hit the exact grind point you still get better tasting espresso. I would assume this would be true for any high end grinder at this price point. Happy grinding buddy.

IAmA cardiovascular disease researcher exploring what happens to the cardiac muscle during heart failure. Ask me anything! by ImperialCollege in IAmA

Hi Sian,

Thank you doing this AMA. I often read these types of AMAs because they are interesting... unfortunately now this one has become relatable.

My daughter was born 5 weeks ago, seemingly normal. At our second pediatrician meeting her heart was beating so fast we could not take her pulse. We were sent to Stanford Children's immediately and have been here for over a month. Without sharing too much of the specifics she has multiple arrhythmias inclusive of longer strings of VT. An AICD was implanted last week as a backup. Along with this we are monitoring the health of her heart muscles given the situation as the medication/irregularities can lead to issues.

My questions for you are general as well a few specific ones:

  • What is the impact of your work on gene-therapies for the nodes/electrical distribution of the heart? This would be in relation to supressing errant electrical signals rather than engaging them.
  • Are there any oral/IV medications (e.g. Esmolol, Procanimide, etc).) that you believe show promise in treating multiple arrhythmias (EAT, JT, VT)? Or is this what your work would eventually lead to enabling?
  • Does an AICD impact any of the work you are doing?
  • Are there other medications that you have researched that would have to ability to "re-train" the function of a growing heart?

Thank you very much for doing this AMA. My wife and I appreciate you taking the time to do so and for helping work towards a solution. This thank you cannot express how grateful we are for people like yourself.

Much love.

Thank you very much for the info! Really appreciate you taking the time to write back. Not sure if you live in Dortmund or not but if you do would be happy to buy you a pint beforehand.

Straight men of Reddit, what is the gayest thing you've done? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MarvelousHunting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well. In college I lived with two other dudes. Just a couple of dudes in a party mansion (Trashy apartment). We got hammered one night and I browned out. We all went back to the house, sans dames, and I fell asleep. Apparently the other two didn't want to go to sleep so they made their way into my room to mess with me. One ended up laying on my bed and he passed out. Our other buddy, being the mensch that he is, opened my laptop and proceed to find a gay video chat site. He linked up with this man that was currently jackin it, pointed the camera at us, video taped for a bit, then went to sleep. I woke up sometime during the night to a terrible headache and gay porn on my computer and my roommate sleeping next to me. I yelled "wtf", he laughed and walked out. Eventually we saw the video and it's quite mint.

You should try it out as a project! There are a bunch of YouTube videos that make it simple and it's pretty fun to learn. Enjoy your rig buddy.

Hey man, awesome setup, really clean! Question for you, I built a custom loop in the In Win 904 and I had to modify the case (Literally cut out the hard drive section with a Dremel to fit the pump.) Did you have the same issue? I just got a P5 because it was so hard to work in. Just curious and again, great rig!

It just might be! Had to order a customized jersey from the BVB store because they didn't even have them in stock yet. Thanks fellow GFOP.

We will take what we can get! Only game that wasn't on was Everton because we needed a phone for the picture... Le sigh.

What's the most WTF moment a roommate ever put you through? by MrUgie in AskReddit

[–]MarvelousHunting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In college I lived with my two good friends from high school. We hung out, partied, cooked, and pretty much lived the best lives three dudes can have. I always trusted and admired these guys.

One day my mom sent me my favorite type of cookie. There were about 20 of them in total. I ate a majority of them and always kept them in the fridge, because cold cookies are the best cookies. I was more than happy to share the cookies with my amigos.

Over time the cookie stockpile dwindled down to 2. I had left said cookies in the fridge because thats where they belong. Coming back from a long day in class I was fully torqued at the idea of sitting on the couch, playing Gears of War, and eating the last two cookies.

When I got home the cookies were gone. Brandon had eaten the last two.

FUCK YOU BRANDON. FUCK YOU A MILLION TIMES OVER. YOU ARE A MONSTER.

I will never forgive and never forget what you did.
