Great, now can you give me a quick summary on how they work? Because my cardiology exam is on Tuesday and I've spent more time googling telescopes and enjoying the summer with friends the last weeks than studying for exams
Hi Mr Fox

I think pacemakers enable one to become a BBQ guru I have not heard of any other benefits.
Good luck in your exams. ( I dislike exams everything just falls out of my brain )

It goes like this:

Toe bone connected to the foot bone
Foot bone connected to the heel bone
Heel bone connected to the ankle bone
Ankle bone connected to the shin bone
Shin bone connected to the knee bone
Knee bone connected to the thigh bone
Thigh bone connected to the hip bone
Hip bone connected to the back bone
Back bone connected to the shoulder bone
Shoulder bone connected to the neck bone
Neck bone connected to the head bone

Somewhere in there is the heart bone and the pacemaker bone.

Their tyres are no good - they even have some tread.
Those tyres were super sticky, and had minimal tread, so they were almost perfect.

Ooh, telescopes... What are you looking for? A 6" catadioptric would be cool. Or maybe an 8" dob? And of course you can't be without a small apochromat refractor...

Then comes all the eyepieces, barlows, filters, a collimator, Bahtinov mask... And that's before you fall into the astro-photography rabbithole

Did you think photography was an expensive hobby? Well, it isn't.

Speaking of such...
I had an in office pacemaker checkup yesterday, all good and there should be a year left on it's battery.
This is my second one, it's 10 years old, the first one lasted 8.
Most EV drivers develop "range anxiety". Is that a thing with pacemakers?

Just keep tickin', ok?

Would you tell me which medics you’re registered to and I’ll make a point of excluding them from my insurance??

What, you don't want to go to a doc who hasn't been through the basics, do you?

I have only ever owned one Holden.

Worst lemon I have ever had.

The others I have had were Mazda, Toyota, Honda and VW.

All the others were better than the car made by an offshoot of GM.

The last exam I did was the test to stay in UK.

On one question I had to know Christmas is 25 December.

I had to get at least 18 of 24 questions right. Some were harder than that.

Exam questions.

They can be tough...very tough.

I recall taking a biology exam in 1970. It was the first exam....a warm up for greater things to come. The multiple choice question was:

A Corolla is a:

a) Part of a flower.

b) A small Japanese car.

I figured I couldn't go wrong with either answer.

Nah...not back in 1970. Adam Corolla was born in '64...in '70 he would of been just out of diapers.....as a very young comedian, his idea of a funny joke would of been of the elephant variety.

a very young comedian,
I think calling him a comedian is being pretty charitable.
