Are people with heart conditions counselled against watching horror movies? Are there cases of people dying of cardiac arrest because they watched a horror movie?

Post in the location thread you're looking to live in? So post in England if you're looking for a houseshare somewhere in England, there are goons in most of the major cities. There's also a thread about housing in Ask/Tell which might be worth a try.

You forgot the part involving the hookers and blow--the stock market runs on hookers and blow. For content, is there a good example of a "college graduates' rights" organization--say, one campaigning for student loan debt relief, against diploma mills, for greater transparency in employment figures, that kind of thing?

So: there are programs that will analyse the contents of your hard drive and show you a map of the stuff. Like "this block of MP3s is here and takes up 15% of your HDD space." My drive's a mess and I want to clean it up, and I know there's a bunch of data hiding somewhere it doesn't belong, taking up half of my space. I want to see that visual map of stuff, with blocks and colors. Once again, I'm asking here because I don't know how to translate this question into googlability.

Baron Bifford posted:Are people with heart conditions counselled against watching horror movies? Are there cases of people dying of cardiac arrest because they watched a horror movie? It's probably phrased in "avoid excitement" or something like that. It's also really relative to what a person considers scary. A car cutting me off makes my heart race a lot more than any movie or roller coaster I have ridden. As far as fear or horror causing a heart attack this came to mind: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clint_Malarchuk#Injury I'd say the same event would cause less of a reaction now because are exposed to a lot more graphic events via media on a day to day basis.

I googled this and people said yes and no, but is it normal for someone who is sleep deprived to hear voices? I have a friend who regularly stays up for 2 days instead of a one day period like normal and he's said he sometimes hears people calling his name when he gets tired. I was slightly concerned by that but he says it's normal.

Have any countries in Europe actually defaulted on their sovereign debt? Officially, even with a bailout, "defaulted"? A million news articles refer to a Greek default but they always seem to be speaking of its hypothetical impact.

Mine is mostly thinking I'm seeing movement in my peripheral vision.

I was slightly concerned by that but he says it's normal. Some of the times where I've gone a long time without sleeping, I have hallucinated voices, so it's not completely abnormal. It's just not very healthy.

A million news articles refer to a Greek default but they always seem to be speaking of its hypothetical impact. Russia defaulted in 1998. Albania and some of the former Yugoslav states did in the '90s too, I think, and there's loads of examples the further back you go. In the latest crisis, not yet.

So I'm probably going to be moving soon and was thinking about looking into getting some day laborers to assist; was wondering if people had any ideas regarding protocol for that or maybe some better idea, as moving companies seem to be a bit excessive for the amount of stuff I have to move, but I don't really wish to bother my few friends helping me move. VVVVV You'd be surprised how lazy some friends can be and how much they don't want to go to certain areas. discworld is all I read fucked around with this message at 07:33 on Feb 25, 2013 |

Ask your friends if they'd help out for dinner. Or even just one or two if you don't have that much. Most people would be more than willing to help out for a few hours for a free dinner with a friend. Hell, I'd help a friend for free.

When I was a kid, I used to love going on roller coasters and drop towers. It was an intoxicating sensation. Now, at 30, I hate them. They are unpleasant. I've tried forcing myself to go on them as a test of will, and I often chicken out. I just clench my body and hope the whole ordeal finishes soon. Does anybody else experience this?

I used to love picking up worms and insects to check them out as a kid, but now I'm a tad repulsed by that idea. I think it's from having stomped a few too many roaches and knowing what kind of filth they run around in.

Baron Bifford posted:No, the rides. I have a completely different physical reaction to them than what I had as a kid, and I'm not sure why. I loved them as a kid and was never injured on one. I'm thinking my brain chemistry must have completely changed in some way. I went on a roller coaster ride for the first time in 7 years expecting huge thrills, but instead found myself hating it. It could be physical differences in your body from when you were a child. For me, I've gained a ton of weight so now if I go on a roller coaster it feels a lot different than it did when I was but a whelp. Edit : HaHEY! New page!
