I took a screen shot of your comment so I can show it to people who want to try and tell me "it's not that bad." You summed it up perfectly and so eloquently.
I didn't have high hopes, but I have been a little irritated by the fact that people seem to be annoyed that I don't like it. I don't know why I have to lower my standards for a bad adaptation just because people think, "it's hard to do an adaptation." I have heard the live action one piece was fantastic, so I am sure it's possible, although I don't think it's necessary to do live action adaptations of any of these great animes.
I would check on it if you are concerned. It can't hurt to check and if you find something that needs to be addressed, now you know and can work on fixing it.
According to him, it was in fact 80 per hour. Definitely sounds crazy.
My boss has sleep apnea and did a sleep study. It turns out he was having roughly 80 episodes an hour where he stopped breathing. They also found that his heart rate was jumping up to 135 bpm during these episodes, as well as his cortisol levels rising way above normal.
I would say it is probably good to know the severity of the condition, as it might be good to know how treatment might need to be. Having your heart rate spike like that is not good, and it means that he will have more monitoring and checking in with his doctor as he adjusts to and uses his CPAP machine.
I started having severe and debilitating chest pain when I was 19. I would have episodes for 10-45 mins, just in the fetal position and not understanding what the issue was. I have always been a competitive athlete and even now, as a 31 year old I am super active. I understand why they didn't assume it was my heart, but no one cared to actually look into this for me.
I was told by numerous doctors that it was my anxiety that was causing the chest pain. I even had the principal at the school where I used to teach (even after telling her I was seeing a cardiologist) assume that the chest pain was due to anxiety. It wasn't until I was 25 when I was finally diagnosed with printzmetal angina.
Thankfully it's not life threatening and I have medication to prevent it (daily) and nitroglycerin if I have an attack. It's only really severe pain more than anything else, but wow, I was starting to think it was all in my head. What kills me about all of this is that my mother was diagnosed with the same condition only a few years earlier and I would tell doctors that and they still denied that I may have been suffering from the same condition.
I have this and I always struggled with math. I was terrible at mental math and I wanted to be better. I changed all of my clocks to military time so I had to do a very small and easy mental math problem if I wanted to know the time. I started to get better at it and now I am better than most people I know (not by a whole lot, and it does still take me a while to get more difficult problems done). I now enjoy trying more difficult problems just for fun. I also developed some interesting methods to chunk problems in my head so they are easier to manage.
It's not about hours of practice. Small incremental changes over time can be a better way to go about it.
