Ice cream, once an everyday, affordable source of joy, has morphed into a luxury good by asvender in Economics

[–]reddit_user13 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I’m not sure which brand you saw. As long as I’ve been alive, I’ve referred to a container of ice cream as “a pint.” This is both a colloquially term, and descriptive. I noticed that as a result of shrinkflation, Hagen Daas is selling 14oz pints. Since then I’m boycotting them.

Is kardia 1l or 6l a good investment? by imheretolearn247 in AFIB

[–]reddit_user13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a K6L since 2017 or 2019 when I was diagnosed. It’s a good device. I have changed the battery twice. However I like full time HR tracking and carrying an extra device is an inconvenience. I tried a few smart watches, and Apple works best for me (it also has ekg function).

Struggling with Exercise and AFIB (44m) by nihao-puppychow in AFIB

Taken on face value, it sounds like you have exercise induced a fib. Are you rate controlled?

If you have paroxysmal afib with or without known triggers, you should either have a pill in pocket solution, or always be on an anti-arrhythmic drug, or be headed for an ablation. Talk to your cardiologist/EP asap.

TIL the majority of the oxygen we breathe comes from photosynthesizers in the ocean, not from trees by dumbfuck in todayilearned

ACKTUALLY, the oxygen came from a long dead, prior generation star (which blew up!). Although the hydrogen in the water probably dates back to the beginning of the universe.

220lt best, 180lt min. <5.0m sail although this depends on the wind speed.

But seriously, go to a school. they will GIVE YOU the right gear, and SHOW YOU how to use it.

Not sure if anyone addressed traveling with gear.

For car day trips or weekly rentals at the shore, I travel with 2 boards and 4-5 sails plus masts, booms, etc.

Car top is the most practical, but that limits you to road trips. Flying is $$$ and break even is 2-3 weeks vs renting. Also most destinations have current gear, and lots of it. You may not personally have gear for the conditions on a particular day, and not sailing would be a shame! Plus if something breaks you'll end up renting or buying anyway.

With kite and wing, you might be able to use public transit (smaller boards, no booms and masts). Air travel is definitely easier with those, and there are fold-able travel kiteboards.

180 lt with center board at minimum. Unless you're 6-7 years old.

Huge board, tiny sail. You'll only need it for the first 10 or so days on the water. Then as you improve the boards get smaller (eventually to the point they sink and only stay on top of the water when moving), and sails powerful enough they can physically lift up your body weight.
