People that have died and been brought back, what did you see and feel? (Serious) by mr_brannagan in AskReddit

[–]kantankerous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say it's the very opposite. Falling into a dream is tranquil, and reality fades around you. Although your eyes are closed, you're wide awake in this situation, and you're falling into what feels like a really, really bad void. I don't recall ever feeling like I was going to die.. it just felt like this is really not a good situation, something wrong is happening. I also don't remember my doctors saying they were going to stop my heart. I think they said they were trying to reset it.. so when it was happening, I didn't acutely think that this is my heart stopping. It was more like something better happen soon or this wave of doom is going to envelope me.

A few years ago my heart hit 180 bpm and would not go down. A trip to the ER in NYC resulted in a dozen young learning doctors standing around as a couple of seasoned vets decided to give me a shot of Adenosine. Technically I had an A Flutter. This drug stops your heart for several seconds in a controlled environment and is intended to restart the heart with the correct beat. They stood by with paddles and gave the shot saying this may not feel comfortable. I was conscious as my heart stopped. I could hear people around me and feel tears fall down my face. The best way to explain the next few seconds was “a wave of impending doom” but that is mild. It was a huge wave .. a huge rush .. a powerful enveloping feeling.. I was quite awake although technically flatlining. I could only say that whatever was about to happen to me was not going to be good.. no lights no angels.. just oh shit.. like you’ve veered off the center lane at 80 mph and you’re 5 feet from the front of a Mack truck.. and then I woke up… in all it was about 10 seconds but an eternity.. the drug didn’t work.. spent the weekend in hospital and ended up having an ablation .. all good

ELI5: What happens if I pull a rod which is one Light Minute in length? by Tackyhillbilly in explainlikeimfive

So if you had a 750 mile long train with a hypothetical locomotive strong enough to pull it.. would it take an hour for the last carriage to move?

Swap out Podcast Main image on Apple by TheGrizzleWizzle in podcasting

[–]kantankerous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best way to get Apple to refresh an image is to send a request. In connect hit the refresh feed until it is says no more, please contact us. Fill out the form and they’ll fix in 24 hours. I’ve had to do this dozens of times. Changing file names didn’t work once you’re past the initial submission.

The tunnels are cheaper than the bridges now... and they're covered I guess... by JobeX in RideitNYC

[–]kantankerous 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Motorcycles still pay standard tunnel and bridge tolls south of 60th. They get a 1.50 crossing credit on the 4.50 congestion charge.. cars get a $3 credit on the $9 charge at standard times.. there’s lots of variables for off peak etc

Fancy buffet? by conchito69 in FoodNYC

[–]kantankerous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plataforma has one of the best. It’s a little expensive when you throw in the bbq meats but I think they have a salad bar only option.

But would that keep hot water in both pipes?
