if i remember right, doug has sleep problems and he's almost always tired, might be remembering it wrong, i think he made a video talking about his health, he might also just be super fit and calm.

[@Boltclick]

@@nicholas-dv1mg Doug is quite a bit older than PointCrow. Also, unlike PointCrow, Doug's spent a lot more time in the real world (he graduated collage from Berkley, not an easy feat, and got a job in CS for some years) so I have to imagine he's had much more exercise and fitness in his life than PointCrow, which generally leads to a lower resting heartrate. Edit: Everything I said is out of conjecture, not fact. You don't need to reply saying I'm wrong. No one has sufficient information to strongly argue one way or the other. So multiple people have responded telling me about PointCrow's home gym. I was not aware of this fact. I don't know how long PointCrow's been working out, but if he does cardio regularly, it will still take a few years to bring his resting heart rate down. *However, I am willing to admit that I should've done some research for my conjecture.* Berkley is likely to reduce Doug's resting heartrate because the campus is absolutely massive. *DougDoug is older. This is the biggest factor.* Outliers exist. Don't tell me if you work out and have a very high resting heart rate or something. I'm talking out of a statistics standpoint, not an individual or medical standpoint. Some people have told me that DougDoug has sleep problems. This will increase his heartrate by 5-10 bmp. However, it appears that despite this fact, PointCrow has a higher heart rate. *EACH PERSON HAS A DIFFERENT HEART RATE ACCORDING TO GENETICS! GENETICS IS THE BIGGEST FACTOR HERE! I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT OTHER FACTORS THAT ADDS ONTO THE GENETIC FACTOR!*

As someone with a heart condition, another trick is to not think too much about your heart and focus on just breathing. Worrying about your heart rate raises anxiety, which causes your heart rate to go up. It’s weird how worrying about your heart causes more problems than ignoring it sometimes

[@sarttan]

​@@theotakuwolf8573 I personally subscribe to the breath holding technique. I'll admit that it becomes a bit of a "Don't think about the Pink Elephants" problem for me if I try to not think about the anxiety source.

It's not quadratic though. That would be like 1, 4, 9, 16, 25 ...

[@filipekowny4448]

The money given away doesnt follow that particular sequence exactly, thats true. It isn't the pure quadratic x^2. But it still is a quadratic, just with some other constants and terms (quadratic can be any sequence/function in form a*x^2 + b*x + c where a is not equal to 0 and a,b,c are just some known coefficients). If you're looking for an exact formula for the quadratic that tells us how much money one of them gave away, it is (5/2)*n^2 + (5/2)*n where n is the amount of deaths (if we assume they give 5, 10, 15, 20... etc each death). You can derive that from an arithmetic sequence or you can check it yourself that it works for number of deaths (n) = 1, 2, 3, 4 ...

I hate to be that guy but an increase in $5 for every death is linear growth, not exponential. For that kind of growth one needs to say double the amount every time, so the increase is multiplicative: 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160 , 320, etc. this series blows up *MUCH* quicker.
