Two things:
- I'm buying my xbyte server today ^_^ (Poweredge R510)
- Turns out I have no blood pressure issue at all. The doctor completely misdiagnosed me and put me on blood pressure meds when I didn't need them. Turns out all I have is a sinus infection. I'm not even kidding.
WTF... How did he do that? ...and where did you get the second opinion from? lol.

Ouch, bet you felt pretty terrible/out of it for a few days there. Not uncommon to be misdiagnosed.
I can honestly say it was the worst set of migraines (about 4.5 days of consistent headaches) I've ever had. I never get headaches. So much pressure was built up and it was so painful. The BP meds didn't help (obviously) so I went back and met with a different doctor and she was like uhhhh
What's funny is that they normally get a few weeks of you doing self administered blood pressure tests before they will prescribe blood pressure medication. They need a base line to determine how bad it is and what the dosage need to be for your weight/height/etc.

Misdiagnosis happens all the time.

I took allergy meds and ibuprofen (I wasn't thinking because of the pain) and that caused my blood pressure to skyrocket. Of course I told the doctor this. They even had BP taken through the years from me and it showed no sign of being elevated from genetic predisposition. The issue is I didn't know any of this and I gave her all of the information she needed and she still chose to put me on blood pressure meds. Told me it was for the rest of my life and I'd never eat a cheeseburger again, etc. I honestly thought I'd never have a good meal again.

Yeah. This is quite unfortunate and true too.

It should be enough of a scare to encourage you to eat slightly healthier... Get a side salad or apple slices with that cheese burger instead of fries.

I definitely am. I realized there is no really good way to avoid sodium. Even wheat bread has like 120 mg of sodium per slice. It's insanity.

Oh, don't get me started. Sodium is only behind sugar/sweeteners as the most over-used single ingredient in ~80% of the supermarkets (at least in the US.) I've always wondered how much eating it actually influences sodium in the bloodstream, and have seen no studies on it. One of those, gotta really, really dig for the study things at best.

Only in the US. The abundance of NaCl is just a prepared American foodism. I've not seen that in the rest of the world. They use NaCl, of course, but not at all in the quantities that the US does to cover up the taste of prepared food.

Slept in a bit since I was out at the drive in last night. Just getting caught up now.

Does that means playing Pokemon Go in his office?

Really.... need insane performance from storage for a database, needs RAID 10 SSDs.... but is building their database server on a cheap gaming whitebox desktop with a 1.GHz processor!

These requirements do not go together!
On and Windows bare metal install.
