It’s a massive pain in the arse. Goes off every 30 mins so you have to stop what you’re doing, then at night goes off every hour and wakes you up. It’s not much smaller than a regular machine either.
You could try some cognitive behavioural therapy so you see the BPM as a tool to help you get better, not something to get anxious over (easier said than done, I know!).
I know you can get wrist based monitors that are smaller, may not be as accurate but something to look into.
Sounds like an electric collar for violent dogs…
People wind themselves up about blood pressure tests?
Learn something new everyday!
Just chuck on the sleeve and sit down for a few minutes watching TV or something and then turn it on. Should help.
Mine was 159 on Tuesday. Down to 120-130 today. Hopefully just a short lived thing and I can actually start being a normal person again (exercise more, drink less etc)
About to head to Melbourne for work, was cleaning my glasses and the tiny screw that holds the glass in place has fallen out.
No idea if it happened here at home or if it fell out at work yesterday. The thing is it’s so small that I’d need to wear my glasses to be able to find it.
Will have to wait until Monday to get them fixed now.
I have three pairs of 5 dollar sunglasses that look like 80’s Carrerra’s that I bought from there. People actually complement me on them. I bought one & the lady convinced me to buy three. For 15 dollars I couldn’t give a fuck. 
Look, if you’re after cheap knock offs, sure Paddy’s have some value. But it’s just a tourist trap for shitty souvenirs.
The only reason I’d buy anything from Paddy’s is if I desperately needed a new pair of Sunnies, or an umbrella because it was chucking it down with rain.
I honestly don’t see the overall attraction of the place. Small suburban markets where vendors sell their own stuff are much better. Paddy’s is just Temu with a shopfront.
went to school with a guy called Paddy. Disappointingly, didn’t own a market…
That happened to my mum when she was visiting from the UK. Took the glasses to the local optometrist and they fixed them on the spot…
yeah was gonna say, most optometrist will fix for free
If they just tried to make a queen vic market clone at paddys it would probably do a pretty roaring trade.
That’s a pretty good market down there in FumbleKicky Land as well as the Prahran Food Market.
I got some really good sunnies at the markets in Seoul for about 10 bucks.
I think I lost them in in Saigon thou.
And yes, this post just exists to make me look like some sort of wordly travel wanker
I went climbing volcanoes in NZ some time back. One of the guys in my group bought cheap sunnies that didn’t cut out UV. His eyeballs got sunburned really bad. Don’t trust the cheap sunnies if you’re going to spend time at the beach/snow/glaciers.
This post just exists to out-flex Hillbilly.
You got part of that right…
Old man stuff.
I listened to a podcast today with someone unironically using “slay” multiple times. I realise it’s not really much different to me using cool but fuck it grinds.
Also “womp womp”. At least use wah wah waaah or something you stupid fucks. Womp womp isn’t even onomatopoeic ffs. It’s one of those phrases now that really makes me judge people.
Rightly so
You just unlocked a gear grind I didn’t even know I had.
