  • If you have a blood pressure measuring device, follow the directions.

    To ensure it is accurate, take it to a medical professional and ask them if they will help to verify the accurracy or what they advise. One person I know did this and the nurse they saw took the pressure a few times with their cuff, had the person run the machine a few times, and told them how to position themselves for consistency. The nurse was able to confirm the device was a couple digits off but otherwise consistent and gave them person the ranges they should worry about when using the machine.

    The nurse also noted that a precise value is not super important, just whether it is outside a safe range or has large changes in a short period of time because blood pressure changes constantly. Taking it the same way each time is the most important thing to help notice changes over time.








  • You are overthinking the details by taking examples far to literally and applying them too broadly.

    Just like if I used text prompt of an AI and created some art (assuming it doesn’t make it goofy). You’d believe that I was a great artist.

    I would think the same thing as I would if you used google search and presented some artwork someone else made as your own. Typing a text prompt into an AI generator is the same thing as typing words into a search engine.

    Passing off someone else’s work as your own might fool someone into thinking you were a great artist, but that doesn’t make you an artist.

    Would cover bands be artists or musicians? If all they could do was follow the “recipe”? If they add some additional cheese.

    Cover bands can also play other songs beyond what they choose to for the cover band, because they are musicians. Do you think they are limited to only that one band’s songs?
