110 isn't high, though?

I tend to always have a higher heart rate whenever I'm at a doctor's office compared to when I've tested resting at home (in the 100-110 range compared to 90-95), and my experience is that anything in the triple digits will tend to get some concern from whoever is taking the measurements. It's gotten to the point that I need to preemptively tell them before they take the measurements that yes, it's going to be high,…

Sorry, I thought BP, please disregard my comment.

I’ve been wearing a heart rate monitor for a while, and after analysing the data, I noticed something interesting: my heart rate spikes in only two situations, when I’m driving, and when I’m talking to my wife.

Hopefully it’s love of cars and your woman.

Bottles is essentially a frontend for Wine, it lets you put every single app to its own WINEPREFIX, so that each one can have their own settings, C: drive, etc. If you've heard of Lutris, Bottles is essentially the same thing, but aimed at general software instead of only focusing on games

Nice, using home-brew style incomprehensible nomenclature

Well, things have to be named something. At least "Bottles" are related to "Wine" in a way that makes sense for a name for isolated Wine environments. It is also unique enough that Google will give you the answer quickly.

Regarding white coat hypertension, the shot isn’t always necessary. Some people’s blood pressure just goes up from the stress of the clinical setting.

I have an intense phobia of dentists; if I were wearing a constant monitor, I bet you could tell when I was at the dentist just by watching the blood pressure and heart rate spikes. (You'd have to find some way of differentiating them from me being in a car accident, or being attacked by a werewolf.)

Just to be sure, the cure ain't no silver bullet.

I think we need a data point where you are driving and talking to your wife. For science.
