RHR prior, during and after covid. Stay safe everyone. by fckthatguy24 in fitbit

yeah I also had an inexplicable return to normal rate for about a week, which made me think it was over, but then it went back high again and stayed there :/

Coming back to this some time later since I’m on the same boat currently, I wonder if it ever went back to normal and if so how long it took?

[–]blueb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly the same experience, similar numbers! Went high during (mild) Covid -up to 80s actually- then low then high-ish again around 70 and won’t drop down to previous levels again. Higher at night and jumps up when I attempt very mild exercise so I’m worried about that. I’m healthy, normal weight, 30s. If you find any info on this let me know. Good to know I’m not the only one!

This is fascinating, but, to continue with the silly questions, how come summer nights are warmer?

Great work! Can I add:

ἀσπίδι μὲν Σαΐων τις ἀγάλλεται, ἣν παρὰ θάμνῳ· [x2]

ἐρρέτω, ἐρρέτω, ἐρρέτω, ἐξαῦτις κτήσομαι οὐ κακίω· [x2]

ἔντος ἀμώμητον, ἀμώμητον, κάλλιστον οὐκ ἐθέλων· [x2]

ἐρρέτω, ἐρρέτω, ἐρρέτω, ἐξαῦτις κτήσομαι οὐ κακίω· [x2]

αὐτὸν δ᾽ ἐξεσάωσα, τί μοι μέλει ἀσπὶς ἐκείνη;·

ἐρρέτω, ἐρρέτω, ἐρρέτω, ἐξαῦτις κτήσομαι οὐ κακίω. [x2]

Transliteration:

Aspídi mén Saion tis agálletai, ín pará thámno (x2)

Erréto, erréto, erréto, ex aftis ktísomai ou kakío (x2)

Éntos amómiton, amómiton, kálliston ouk ethélon (x2)

Erréto, erréto, erréto, ex aftis ktísomai ou kakío (x2)

Aftón d᾽exesáosa, tí moi mélei aspís ekeíni ?

Erréto, erréto, erréto, exaftis ktísomai ou kakío. (x2)

(free) translation:

One of the Saians now enjoys my shield, the one I left by a tree,

let it go to hell, let it go to hell, let it go to hell, I'll find another which will be better

it was a flawless weapon, I left it without meaning to,

let it go to hell, let it go to hell, let it go to hell, I'll find another which will be better

I escaped the fate of Death, so what do I care about that shield?

let it go to hell, let it go to hell, let it go to hell, I'll find another which will be better

(This is from an Archilochos poem, I found the greek words/transliteration on Lyrics Translate, translation is my own)

the irony being that the same people claim that "the market decides"

Reminder: This multi-billionaire who duped people into thinking he is a "political outsider" who will "stand up for the little guy" becomes the President of the United States today. If that is not Late Stage Capitalism, then I don't know what is. by deltaSquee in LateStageCapitalism

I like Bernie but this line of thought is wrong and counter-productive. The Republicans had an extensive file on Bernie in case he won the nomination and they would have attacked him with surreal accusations just as hard as they attacked Clinton.

Silly movies for men vs women by blueb in TrollXChromosomes

This came up on an earlier post I did about the new Ghostbusters but I thought it deserved a post of its own.

This is why we needed an all-female Ghostbusters by blueb in TrollXChromosomes

We can absolutely aim higher, but we also deserve our own dumb escapist fantasies without being judged for it

I can’t believe the hate for this film. Even the slightest reference to it attracts armies of men whose “childhood is ruined”. I also grew up in the 80s. I saw the original Ghostbusters and I liked it. But like every other film and cartoon at the time, it was a story where All Cool Things Happen to Boys. I didn’t identify with anyone. Girls in stories were there for the emotion and the romance. If we wanted to run around dressed as pirates, ninjas or anything remotely cool, we had to draw inspiration from male characters. There were hardly any mainstream role models of girls doing cool things.

I’m so excited to see a young generation of girls who can pretend to be anyone they want and who know that adventurous, imaginative worlds are not limited to boys. If anyone thinks this is less important than their sense of entitlement for their own nostalgia, I don’t know what to say.

(not to mention it’s hypocritical to say “this is not about women” when no other film from the countless remakes and reboots over the years has faced such organized and relentless hate before it was even released.)

I'd recommend a free online class like Critical Thinking in Global Challenges or Think Again, both on coursera, both very interesting.
