Although many people think of a heart attack as a painful, sometimes fatal event, there are some heart attacks that go entirely unnoticed.
Some people may have had heart attacks without knowing it, studies show.

Undiagnosed, or "silent," heart attacks affect nearly 200,000 people in the United States annually. As many as 40 to 60 percent of all heart attacks are unrecognized, studies show.

By definition, a heart attack usually happens when a clot gets in the way of blood flow from a coronary artery to the heart. This may cause symptoms such as severe chest pain, shortness of breath, fainting and nausea. Anyone who believes that he or she is having a heart attack should seek emergency medical attention.

But sometimes a heart attack is not painful, or the person experiencing it does not recognize the symptoms as heart-related, so he or she does not go to a hospital for treatment.

So... are silent heart attacks as deadly? /me is too lazy to click the article link.

>2 liters of pepsi consumed each day
Sweet Jesus. Not even my stepsister (who drinks dominantly Pepsi) can do that. Not without getting in huge trouble, at least. She has dental problems (probably the mass Pepsi).

Lightweight :p
My brother's friend regularly drinks 6 litres of Coke a day. I shit you not.

I should probably change my diet... I eat way too much red meat, very few vegetables and get very little excercise. I don't eat much junk food though, but I do over-eat (though I'm not overweight).

Oh, nevermind. I was thinking of the 2-liter bottles. 1-liters are easy. I hate Pepsi, anyway. Coke too.

Me too.

I don't think I'm in much risk of heart attack.
Though I do get the odd feeling that I'm the only one who isn't on a... 'Strange' diet. =|

(I do love my meat though)

If you're under 14, I wouldn't worry.

Silent heart attacks you can't feel that don't kill you? awesome, can't wait until they discover invisible cancer that causes no harm or a strain of the aids virus that lets you live out the entirety of your life without hindrance.

Death or it didn't happen.

I get quite a bit of exercise. I go skateboarding for about 4 hours after school everyday. My diet isn't that healthy, but I should be ok for another few years :p

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
