Riker's "Water Vase"

Stony nerds, nerd with me please.

I'm watching Star Trek TNG with my partner for the first time. It's my first real rewatch all the way through in a number of years. We've been sampling the Wyld Good Tide gummies today and are just watching, vibing. We're on S1E11 "Haven" and this scene flashes briefly, and we get the chance to see inside Riker's quarters. I see the glass "water vase" on the counter and the grin in the same scene and have to pause. Is it just me or is that a stem going all the way to the bottom? Is this an accidental or intentional inclusion of a real pipe for this scene?

Either way shoutout to u/stumpdawg who apparently knew Riker would know what he was looking at. 🍀

Jean Luc Picard is... 29 days old?

My partner is watching TNG with me for his first time (my umpteenth), and we asked Siri when Jean Luc Picard was born. This was her completely accurate and yet somehow unhinged response. Someone please find his poor time traveling mother, she's somewhere near La Barre.

Tukey's "Big Bird"

I don't know if she does this for everyone who visits her, but she always does it for me! What a smart girl.

Tukey the Turkey Vulture

She lives at a nature center near me. She's very smart and very friendly! She spreads her wings out when you ask her to be a big bird.

Tachycardia Questions

I work in a medical facility checking in patients, and for the most part it's calm, easy work. You don’t have to stand a lot (though they do have standing desks) and there's no real lifting or moving around involved.

Today and yesterday, while sitting still and just doing some data entry, my resting heart rate jumped over 110bpm for over 10 minutes and I started to be short of breath. Yesterday it happened twice in the afternoon, today it happened around the same time as the first time yesterday. Today I grabbed one of our nurses, who took my pulse and recommended I see a provider. I did - she told me people live with high resting heart rates all the time and to not worry about it since that might make it worse. My doctor ordered a Holter and told me to put my feet up, but otherwise gave me no guidance on how to feel better.

My mom had an ablation done about 10 years ago to treat her tachycardia, and my grandfather's heart was fixed when he was a younger man. No one else that I am aware of has heart problems in my family, at least nothing that I am aware of.

My doctor ordered a Holter and told me I could keep working if I wanted to today, but my chest hurt so I opted to come home.

What are the odds this might be tachycardia? If it's possible, what could cause it to start all of a sudden out of the blue like this? What could keep it going for so long? Does a heart beating faster/harder always hurt more, like a tightness in the chest or a pressure in the neck? I don't want to mess around, this is my heart after all!

Thank y'all in advance.

My First A10, #258

Special shout out to the artists from July 2021 at the Hill AFB for their detail work. The museum is going to paint over it when they restore the plane. Photos taken by me, OC.

Dilute Torbie?

This is Butter. I've had her for almost 10 years, and she'll be 17 soon. Is she a dilute torbie? I'm trying to figure out what her patterning and coloration is called.
