I know several people that have died or almost died from Widowmaker heart attacks. Seeing a cardiologist and cardio in general is one of those things that a lot of men ignore because they feel healthy but it cannot be stressed enough, once you hit 30/40s, find a good cardiologist especially if you have a history of heart attacks in your family.

I was recently taught in first aid class that the survival rate of an out-of-hospital heart attack is about 10-12%. Heart attacks have a ton of causes, lifestyle is just one of those. Sometimes, things go very wrong without an apparent, explainable cause. Medicine hasn't yet figured out everything that might cause a heart attack. Even with help on scene, people still die in hospital a few days later because of a mix…

In my first aid course we were taught that the speed in which an AED is applied is the main contributing factor. Giving that most workplaces/homes/restaurants ...etc don't actually have an AED you would normally get one when the ambulance arrives. Someone in the NHS had worked out the graph for distan…
Insurance would probably pay them out nicely - your death at work is probably worth +1x your annual salary - maybe more.

It reminds me of Nikola Tesla, "Before I put a sketch on paper, the whole idea is worked out mentally. In my mind I change the construction, make improvements, and even operate the device. Without ever having drawn a sketch I can give the measurements of all parts to workmen, and when completed all these parts will fit, just as certainly as though I had made the actual drawings. It is immaterial to me whether I run m…
Huh. This is the first time I read this quote, but it resonates so well. Does anyone else program this way? I usually sit for a while thinking about the problem, write the program mentally, try out edge cases, sometimes rework the program a few times, then once I feel it's correct I type out all the code, with that phase taking much less time than the "mental work". I'd estimate my usual process is about 90% thought,…
I'm the complete opposite. I'll think about the issue a little, but I'll just hack on it until it looks (and performs) right. Lots and lots of trial and error.
I draw the same way. My sketches are tons and tons of lines in the wrong places that somehow end up looking right, because the majority of the lines are near to or in the right places.

The biggest surprise to me is that he died of a heart attack in an airport, where presumably AEDs are in ready supply and people are everywhere so it'd be immediately noticed. I really thought the survival rate in such a circumstance, even for catastrophic heart attacks, was pretty good!

That’s pretty scary having had one a few years ago I didn’t realise the risks of dying were so high. Is that for a specific case (e.g. heart stopped completely) or for all the stuff that gets lumped in there for example I was still walking around and so on despite the clot forming which probably has a more medical name but colloquially gets called the same thing.
For context when I had mine at 39 I was swimming so swam on for another thirty minutes at a reduced pace, got changed, walked home, lay down for a bit before getting my wife to drive me to the hospital. Ended up with a stent put in. Got lucky I guess from being reasonably fit as there was no visible damage to the heart on an ultrasound.
Re: Kim Jung Gi has died
#56Can someone point to some of his famous works? Frankly it is the first time I’ve heard of him.
I think his drawings are great, though the big kicker is that he draws them without reference and without sketching or erasing.
He is almost like a human printer, drawing one character or object to completion before moving on to the next.
I particularly like his dragon hunter

You won't find answers in a single case, which is why the question is irrelevant to this post.

Or he enjoyed it tremendously and it had nothing to do with stress.
You can enjoy things that are bad for you... Polish film director Zanussi said that it was always his goal to have poor health in the old age, because, if he didn't, it'd meant he hadn't push himself hard enough in the pursuit of excellence in his art.
Just because some person said this doesn't make it here suddenly true.
I personally find this anecdote really shitty to be honest. Only a balanced mind and body can sustaine quality over a long time.
Also bad health in old age is super critical for living long and bad. Would never thrive for this like laying in bed having pain every day being dependent
Re: Kim Jung Gi has died
#60I often come back to this video of Kim's process, which is a delight, and now only adds weight to the loss: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmqFbgKWoao “When I decide what to draw, I think about what. And then I create another me in my mind. Another me, a.k.a. mini-me, will be travelling through the space of what I want to draw. … Now, I send a bunch of my mini-mes all over the space to find the best suited location…
I saw someone on Twitter say that this isn't drawing, it's sculpting with Ink. Insane that he's able to do this.
