Lilly Posted March 22, 2017 #76 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I have now officially concluded that I'm a 'light weight' in all forms of drinking. The amount of C8H10N4O2 in badeskov's and ShadowSot's coffee must be staggering! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Merton Posted March 22, 2017 #77 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I like what coffee does to me. It makes me alert, happy, friendly, aware, able to do boring tasks without getting bored. Of course too much coffee makes me jittery and it should be drunk strong and black (sugar, including the sugar in milk, in liquid form is damn hard on the liver and pancreas). I start my day with coffee, then switch to green tea about noon, and then to hard water about four pm. It is a great routine I suggest for everyone.

You don't, thus I just told you that your posts (or any other here for that matter), does not raise my blood pressure thus upsetting me/making me angry/etc. That you don't like my opinion is really your problem to be honest. I will voice my opinion and be done with it. Cheers, Badeskov 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't do tea, I just cant. And certainly not green tea. Cheers, Badeskov Try the tea ice cold after you've been working in the yard. I use to have a beer, and that is wonderful, but tends to be belly-building. Tea works the same wonder. Most teas have some caffeine, so I stop in the afternoon to assure good rest later. I might comment that in the morning before even getting up I usually have the equivalent of four or five cups of strong coffee -- that may explain why I'm pretty much un-bore-able in the morning. My system is use to it, so I do fine, but if I drink coffee later in the day I do get jittery and my blood pressure doesn't behave, so I switch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Merton Posted March 22, 2017 #84 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Oh I have a pretty good idea about my blood pressure. For several months I had a continuous monitor on. What you think raises blood pressure is what does. My blood pressure is always higher than it should be, as I don't get enough exercise and weigh a little too much, and pills, while they help, only do about twenty percent of what is needed. Temper is worst, as well as irritation, insufficient sleep, the need to go to the bathroom when put off, sneezing and coughing, any infection, any pain, grief, and ordinary conversation -- especially with people who interrupt you.

I'm sure the Scotch serves to counter at least some of the dangerous effects of Dihydrogen Monoxide. NASA has been looking for this dangerous compound on Mars no less! Yes, NASA is searching for it in various locations...what are they up to? DHMO information: http://www.dhmo.org/facts.html Perhaps in small doses, ingestion of DHMO can help to build resistance to chem-trails? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the complete opposite end of the spectrum, got through high school by the skin of my teeth. Basically I specialized in optical communication systems, a mix of laser physics (nasty b*****s them) and electronic engineering (to be able to control the former nasty b*****s). Started out and worked with antennas and radar systems to begin with, but got interested in optical comms. Cheers, Badeskov 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
internetperson Posted March 22, 2017 #90 Share Posted March 22, 2017 So if I had the money to pay you you could pinpoint why a ras-pi is having voltage issues and continually rebooting in a dc application (my tacoma)?

This has been the source of much profanity in my life. You don't need to send me money. Can you tell me the exact model number and what exactly you are experiencing? Sounds like a bad cap to me, although without actually being able to poke and prod the board it is hard to tell. may I ask what you are using the board for? Are you pulling too much current out of it or is it some really low noise application?

internetperson Posted March 22, 2017 #92 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I really appreciate any advice you can give me, this project is much more than a personal mod to my truck. Very, very long story. Will shoot you a PM tomorrow if that's okay (getting late). If you want info like physically seeing meter readings for yourself I can do that but again it's late. I have a lot of ideas for the ras but I can't get the damn thing to stay on. It's been a while since I messed with it (got a few projects) but I remember it essentially booting, then restarting. It would show a little pixel thingy on the top of the screen (which is apparently a voltage warning?). Wouldn't last more than a minute from what I remember. So I never actually got to do anything with it. I suspect that I could run the ras but the touchscreen may be drawing too much amperage. They're connected and use the same power source. I've taken basic dc electric from a local community college so I'm good with typical automotive gremlins but this is really challenging. It's a model b. Here's what she looks like in the tacoma, notice the lack of doing anything other than sitting there and looking pretty haha: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Badeskov Yea blood pressure is an individual thing and what things do to one person may not to another. Mine stays higher than it should be most of the time (I measure it every evening) but not so high as to cause the doctor to do anything other than give me some pills to take and tell me to exercise. I don't know about what individual posts might do to my blood pressure, but sometimes people say things that make me furious, so I figure my blood pressure is probably up there.
