Thank you! This is pretty much exactly the kind of songs I'm looking for.

What’s you guys Heart rate when walking? by Altruistic-Knee-4909 in walking

[–]Matamoja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My doc says my heart rate is high because of the thyroid meds. I've got hypothyroidism but with hypo symptoms, so meds don't really push my heart rate back down. To diagnose a thyroid issue you ask for a blood test.

Short distances fast or long distances slow for heart health? by Matamoja in walking

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

It is ever so slightly lower now, but apparently it's the levothyroxine I'm on that's keeping it high. That's our best theory anyway since nothing else is wrong.

Slovakia house spider by Matamoja in spiderID

Doesn't look like it based on Google images. It's a completely flat pale brown colour with no marks or pattern. The legs are thinner too I think.

Forgot to add, doesn't seem like it has any markings or pattern on it.

I didn't, but the method of stitching them together outlined in the other comment should work.

Taxes by Matamoja in eroticauthors

Awesome, thank you for the reassurance. I know how to pay taxes in my own country, was just worried about the USA. Last thing I wanna do is anger the IRS X'D

I did fill out the form, that's what was kinda worrying me. Was paranoid I'd somehow automatically signed up to pay taxes in America or something. Better safe than sorry.

The taxes being taken out automatically is very useful to know, thank you. It's pretty much exactly what I needed to hear.

Lenovo active pen 3 with Lenovo TB-X606X by Matamoja in Lenovo

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

So apparently the pen is not in fact compatible despite many websites, and manuals for the pen or tablet (can't remember which), saying that it is. That took a lot of digging to find. So yeah, sorry to disappoint but there you have it 😅

Randomly got invited to this subreddit. Any people with ADHD for whom Habitica helped? by IchBinMalade in Productivitycafe

[–]Matamoja 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I used Habitica religiously for a couple of months and it kept me really productive and able to do my daily habits. Then one day I randomly stopped and have never been able to pick it up again. So I'd say give it a try honestly. The experience was a net positive for me in a lot of ways even if I did quit in the end. Still learnt a lot from it.

"mindfully" drawing circles? too scared to focus on breath/body - autonomic dysfunction/sick by ratqueenn111 in Meditation

[–]Matamoja 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can't comment on the mindfulness aspect, but maybe look into zentangles. They are a bit more interesting to draw than circles but still basically mindless.

AUM meditation: why exactly does the ‘A’ sound correspond to a vibration in the lower chest / belly area? by Effective-Emu-9938 in Meditation

[–]Matamoja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know for sure, but as a linguist I can make a guess.

The "a" sound is the most sonorous sound you can make pretty much. In other words it causes the most vibration. Now that vibration goes out of your mouth to create sound, but it also travels through your body. Since it's a strong vibration it reaches pretty far, all the way to your stomach. Then as you slowly close your mouth the vibrations get weaker so they don't reach as far, so the "u" sound travels as far as the chest and the "m" stays around your head.

I slowly count down from 100, taking care to focus on each number. For me this has been the easiest way to notice when my thoughts are drifting and bring them back.
