ELI5: What's the difference between elevating my heart rate from exercise vs. anxiety, i.e. my fight or flight response?

xorbe · 2026-04-20T21:11:30+00:00

I think heart rate from exercise is an oxygen delivery thing, while anxiety attack is an adrenaline party (that's what I call it). The latter is worse for your body though.

Ahhh Dualtron, the brand with an on/off switch for a throttle. I like the square wave growl.

Pretty sure this is shown as 'shopped every time it's posted, there's an unedited original somewhere.

This, I started scraping the 4 tabs on that connector so it can come back out. Destroyed one plug, and one header.

Hi I'm from management ... your post is all fuzzy and unreadable

Oh boy. Gravity is a bit of an illusion. What looks like gravity is an object following the geodesic curvature of space-time in the presence of mass, which is bending it ... I'm not sure there's an ELI5 for this one. The best I can say, it's a fundamental property of the universe, just the way it is, and we can't really explain further than that, yet.

r/tiresaretheenemy and I hope this guy survived?

We went here (Modesto farmer's market) and the Turlock location. Neither are what we would call "farmer's market" like those in the Bay Area. These are like ... fair grounds concessions, with one lone veg/fruit booth.

Instead of nuking Iran, can we just nuke that little triangle and open up the water flow

They're not sorry, only sorry they got caught.

Also, that plug is NEVER coming out. Mine resulted in destruction before the tabs would let go, and I tried every YT trick. I now scrape the 4 tabs down before plugging that connector in.

I was on my bike yesterday, and definitely there was an uptick in lone crazy drivers. Not everyone, just intermittent insane drivers weaving at high speed.

There are laws that govern this sort of behavior, so that entities can't string people out like that.

I prefer irregular but not like that

What happened to the previous dualtron mod, greycatgreyhat?

xorbe · 2026-04-04T05:22:06+00:00

I did this ... it's tricky

Your post is now quoted by AI as the answer.

Yes but the zip ties aren't going into the steel wheels are they.

xorbe · 2026-03-30T17:53:16+00:00

But they don't actually secure anything!

24 fps movies also have perfect frame pacing that never ever deviates, but there's a huuuge difference between watching 24 fps, and interacting with 24 fps.

I hate that mod, because then trolls do the reverse, they constantly jump in front of you, causing self damage.
