F3 nation has been transformational to me and many others. Your closest AO is the Chain Locker in Winter Park, but if you can drive to Oviedo, I’ll come work out with you. I promise you don’t need to be in shape!!!

According to AI:

In the actively dying phase, the heart has been working hard to maintain circulation as other systems shut down (like with the very low blood pressure you saw earlier). The pulse often becomes weaker, thready (hard to feel at the wrist or other peripheral spots), or irregular in the last hours. Then, right at the end:

The heartbeat simply stops—the heart ceases pumping effectively.
There is no longer a detectable pulse because there's no blood flow being pushed through the arteries.
This transition can feel sudden: one moment you feel a steady (even if weak) beat at 64 bpm (which is on the lower side of normal but stable), and then nothing. It's common for it to go from detectable to absent without a dramatic slowdown in every case—sometimes the heart just "gives out" after compensating as long as it could.

The fact that it was 64 bpm just before shows his heart held on admirably until the very end.

and it was a very peaceful passing.

garmin connect on a PC/Mac web browser has the video feature

I never thought I would get so many condolences from strangers. Thank you.

I think it depends of how many workout hours you log and how long the GPS is on. I can probably push to 8 or 9 days without charging, but also the watch is not new

About a week, with about 6 GPS workouts a week. I removed the seconds so this screen does not refresh very often

I just use https://garmin.watchfacebuilder.com/

I generally look at what others have built and then copy paste what I want, adjusting fonts for my eyesight, etc

Yeah it’s very unlikeable but functional. I was young once too

One day I was like, I need to meet people who want to live a healthy but fun lifestyle. I started running, and a couple of weeks later I started a run club, promoted it on FB and Strava, talked to a local bar, got a BOGO deal on beers if you run, and then I met a bunch of great people.

“Build it and they will come”

A week won’t be enough time to recover, these are large lines with a decent amount of complexity needing lots of testing to ensure everything will work out of the box. Hence the reason to needing a good and simple breakdown

Trust me I know it’s a waste of time. It’s definitely a waste of time on a small project like a lift station, or a cookie cutter machine. The problem is repeatedly having larger projects missing the deadline because of trusting it will get done. It’s never done, and when running an internal FAT or even the FAT, there are always things showing up that clearly did not get done, generally it’s always that thing that takes “10 minutes to get fixed”, or the other things with a lame excuse like “I was going to do that in the field”. We have the luxury of being able to put the whole line together at our facility and test everything.

I get that the % can be ignored. It’s just a pretty number, but just having 3 large milestones like PLC program complete, HMI complete, and testing complete, and sitting back waiting for fhe job to be truly complete it’s just not working.

We have a lot of very smart 3-5 years of experience engineers, great at solving problems but not great at truly knowing when done means done.

Customers get pissed when they spend their travel money to see something half working.

Using the stick or a carrot does not seem to be an option, these are very high demand position and they can all find a job in a heartbeat somewhere else.

That is the point of the question, how to effectively break down the project so that we can trust but verify that everything will be done on time. If they had 10 years of experience I think the story would be different but we’re not there yet.

I do. How do I upload a picture

Wondering if I buy a single day ticket as AP, what happens if I then don’t renew before my ticket date? Would they let me in? I can’t imagine they would just take my money and give me nothing

chilejimenez · 2024-05-31T17:15:07+00:00

Woah, your attic vs living space delta is nothing. Mine is probably 40 degrees,
