I assume embarrassment on the world stage helped move this along given the Olympics?

If I was religious I would definitely think he was the devil quoting scripture.

No that tracks for me, and I work in Healthcare in the US just the same. I personally had what I perceived as urgent but non-emergent and got into my doctor within a week.

I would go to urgent care (I know it’s in the name but alas) if I had more pressing concerns or symptoms were bad but not life-threatening.

I would go to the ER if I was in massive pain and felt at imminent risk of death.

Take out back and sh–

–own a great time with a BBQ cookout and given a big plate of delicious food while friends brainstorm how to help get them back on their feet!

There’s a saying among BBC journalists that all who work there eventually end up at Al Jazeera.

Watch one of my favorite documentaries of all time, Control Room (2004) about coverage of the Iraq War.

Al Jazeera is far from perfect, and I’d argue has fallen from its peak in terms of quality. But it’s still worth viewing to get a more well rounded perspective.

Now do I believe they can cover topics that hit close to Qatari interests? Not necessarily. For those I take with a grain of salt.

What is the humidity level?

Fair points! In my mind I guess I was thinking cyber truck vs. Rivian truck.

Rivian seems better in literally every way, isn’t it?

I am definitely caffeine addicted, too. Best I can manage usually is to taper off the caffeine coffee by noon and transition to green tea, then ginger tea later. Seems to help!

Temp seems good; that’s about what mine is.

If possible, consider a big lunch and reduce size of dinner and/or dial it back by an hour. Be extra cautious of deep-fried, high sodium, or high acidic foods (tomato-based sauces like spaghetti or pizza, mayo, etc.).

Does that include no coffee/caffeine in afternoon?

What temperature is your room?

Do you have a watch or device that passively monitors Heart-rate variability?

On average what do you eat before bed and how long before sleep?

For those who don’t dream much, I’m curious of your surrounding sleep habits and how much you’ve looked into changing your habits. This could be a big indicator you’re not getting into REM sleep, which is not good.

Do any of you drink alcohol, take other prescribed substances (or not prescribed)?

Have you tried eating foods rich in magnesium or taking magnesium supplements?

Happy to see someone mentioned this!

There are some moments in that which are pretty brutal and I was like, “Oh wow… Not sure if my kid should be watching this yet…” but it was an incredible film.

I know it’s a considerable cost increase and installation, but still way cheaper than upgrading your central A/C, and way more efficient, quiet, elegant than a window unit: add a mini-split to the room. I added a Mitsubishi to our hot office with tons of electronics and it’s one of the best home investments I made.

Never once did I say that solely being against war with Iran meant someone was Putin’s puppet. Never. Either work on your reading comprehension or get your eyes checked.

What I did say is that those specific Republican members who are known Kremlin parrots conveniently oppose the war for ulterior motives. This much is clear.

To the contrary, I am conflating the fact that the alleged “anti-war” person (your words) suddenly wasn’t “anti-war” when Russia invaded Ukraine as being a Putin puppet; that, and the fact that US intelligence reports found that Russia was promoting Tulsi as the Democratic primaries candidate in 2020, among other things.

Bystanders take note how this individual is trying really hard to separate Tulsi Gabbard from the Kremlin. Like, really hard. Deflections and all.

Oh, so Tulsi Gabbard definitely 100% publicly denounced Russia’s unprecedented act of aggression and imperial invasion of Ukraine, right…?

… Right… ?

I’m just saying that it’s amusing the only anti-war Republicans in the administration and Congress are ones who’ve long looked, acted, and quacked like Kremlin assets:

• You’ve got Tulsi Gabbard literally echoing Kremlin propaganda verbatim on Western imperialism (yet not making a peep about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine)
• You’ve got Tucker Carlson flying to Moscow, simping for Putin, trying to show how great Russia is in contrast to the USA.
• You’ve got Rand Paul flying to Moscow hand-delivering letters on behalf of Trump.

There may be an intersection of my desire to not want to escalate for completely different reasons, and Kremlin operatives not wanting their ally and arms supplier to be crippled, but that is all.

Watching the divide in republican circles on Iran has been a great way to see who is under Kremlin control. Most are who we already knew: Tulsi Gabbard, Tucker Carlson, Rand Paul, etc.
