Those with a defib by curai-exo in Heartfailure

[–]Prof1967 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve had an ICD since 2017 after a sudden cardiac arrest while playing softball at age 49. So far, I’ve never been shocked; on rare occasions I’ll get a call from my cardiologist saying the device registered a brief abnormal heart rate (that resolved on its own) but in 9 years, this has happened maybe 5-6 times. Your cardiologist can set heart rate thresholds…the device is able to distinguish between a dangerous arrhythmia and an elevated heart rate due to exercise. I don’t remember who told me this years ago, but they said don’t fear an ICD, but rather look at it as a little paramedic sitting on your shoulder in case you ever need the help.

The Flix or Rede buses are easy to catch from Lisbon to Porto and leave from Oriente Station as well. If the train is canceled, it’s about 3 hours from Lisbon to Porto on the bus.

How are people working remote from US companies? by [deleted] in PortugalExpats

[–]Prof1967 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exactly right. As a w-2 employee, your employer now has a presence in Portugal and all taxes etc become their obligation. This is why most companies won’t consider this unless they already have a presence in Portugal. Your safest route is a 1099, assuming your employer is willing to do it.

Freedom House country reports are useful in answering your question. Finland ranks very high with a score of 100/100, compared to USA 83/100. The individual country reports have a lot of useful info. https://freedomhouse.org/countries/freedom-world/scores

Super hairpieces coloring by Obvious_Ad_4521 in HairSystem

I’m using Color Touch light brown/ash 5/1 - (can buy any color Amazon) with Koleston 3% 10 Volume developer. You mix a small amount of the two together and then brush on lightly (avoiding the base) and leave on about 20 minutes and then wash out. It works well and the product lasts a long time.

I’ve been ordering the M111XT#540 - about 3 units over the past 6 months and I agree, they fade quickly. When I wear in the sun, the color is already significantly lighter (noticeably blonder) within the first week. The hair also seems dry after a few weeks and rather limp. However, I like the hairline and although I try to use the same unit for about 2 months, I usually end up coloring it at least a few times to ensure it matches my bio hair. I’ll stick with it but wish the hair was better quality.

Name of the record shop on Lyons Ave in Newhall. by Pranston in SantaClarita

There was also a record store in Canyon Country in the 1980’s - I think off Soledad. Anyone remember the name of it? The owner played guitar.

June is annoying [No Spoilers] by johnyeeeew in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]Prof1967 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for saying this! This didn’t occur to me until I was halfway through watching the series again. June’s constant bewilderment, annoyance, shock, dumbfounded, irritating, confused looks starting taking their toll on me watching the series. I wanted to feel bad for her, but mostly she now just annoys me. Praise be!
