Yes. Tricia Cotham in NC. She got elected to state level seat as a Democrat and switched parties. And voted opposite what she promised. Then NC GOP gerrymandered again.

Or it’s supposed to be an insult? If it was licensed (even thru pirate means) it would look like they paid money to Microsoft.

This way, they have it and are using it without funding an American company.

I read that to mean they did not take any of that into account. Since the data was independent of underlying factors, they ignored those underlying factors. Which were probably the actual factors.

How can you ignore diabetes and the other risk factors that lead to using sugar-free products and are huge risk factors in themselves?

At least exclude certain ones.

Plenty of people use xyitol products for other reasons. For instance, I just bought a pack of xylitol gum to carry because I won’t be able to brush my teeth during the day. Gum with sugar makes my teeth feel worse.

Exclude smokers and people with uncontrolled diabetes and cholesterol at least.

Study the gym goers that want to eat their sugar as treats and use xylitol drinks or breath mints daily.

How much caffeine was in everyone’s system? Alcohol? Were the other blood level markers in range?

With no controls, it could be anything. Maybe they were all covering cigarette and beer breath with mints when they had a cardiac event.

I hate studies like this.

Low information doesn’t mean low value or less value. It just means they are voting without knowing what they are actually for and how it will affect them. For whatever reasons that may be.

Low information voters are incredibly valuable if you can get them to vote “your way”

There very much are many low information voters of all stripes, on both sides or thinking they are centrist.

And they are very, very valuable if you can get them to vote or not vote through throwing out distractions. While their participation or lack of lets your guy win.

I wish recall elections were standard. In NC state house, we had Tricia Cotham run as a Dem, promising to protect women’s right to choose etc. Got elected. switched parties and voted with the Republicans No recall elections or fraud options. Some protests, but she couldn’t be shamed. Then the Republicans gerrymandered the state, she got a new red district and Jeff Jackson lost his district by the new map. At least he won state AG. He’s been doing really good things for the state and country. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tricia_Cotham

I’m from infosec.pub and am noticing the same thing today. Very few comments and less upvotes.

I’m using Jerboa app. On this post I just see redacted and barkingspider in this comment thread.

I remember reading about how Bush 2 was kind of paranoid about a pandemic and had plans made while in office. And that during the handover to Obama it was one of the things Bush told Obama to not ignore for the safety of the country. The admin after Obama ignored everything.

[Insert Archer gif of “do you want ants? Because that’s how you get ants.” Bonus if “ants” marked out for “pandemic”]

Anyway, I think about this a lot. Especially with the CDC gutted and measles outbreaks popping up. And now the Andes hantavirus strain.

Dumb question… how are they burning them? I thought controlling lithium battery fires was difficult?

I’m not from the UK or living there. So grain of salt and all… But I read this not so much as a punishment, but closing a loophole so he can never ever be in a position of royal power or benefits. And it would hold even if he wins in court.

If we in the US had closed some loopholes 2021-24, we would be at least 50% less fucked.

And maybe 90% less if we’d done it after Nixon.

It’s not enough. But it’s not nothing.

Very shaky, every time? Not an emergency room visit, but you need to see a doctor to rule out possible health issues. People have already brought up some serious possibilities that can become major problems if ignored.

Are you on any medications that could be causing it if you take it on an empty stomach?

It could be something you can just manage by keeping some bite sized Snickers available. (Literal suggestion from my doctor 30 years ago when I had something similar I was working through lunch and getting angry)

But my doc ruled out other issues with bloodwork. The miniature candy bars were to even out my blood sugars until I could eat properly.

I had to learn to manage it better so I didn’t snap and get fired.

For people who don’t know: Snickers candy is peanuts, caramel, and nougat covered in chocolate.

Ugh. This reminds me of a relative asking me ‘aren’t you afraid of how you’ll be treated if minorities become the majority?’

I think my mouth literally fell open. Not religious ideologies that hate women, mind you. They meant racial minorities in a predominantly white area.

People who ask questions like that know in every cell of their body that the system that they thrive in treats others horribly and justify it by believing that anyone in power would do the same.

So no, I’m not afraid of a race or nationality of people. I’m afraid of people with inhumane ideologies.

Are you talking about a certain guy who openly talks about what he does beyond the gym & diet to have the build he has? If so, I watch because he’s really good at explaining technique. Even though I’m not trying to be a bodybuilder. I just want to be strong and not get hurt.

When he sends everyone home, they just aren’t doing committees and votes?

Can’t they stay and still do things that help their districts or prep for when they are back in session? They can still work. They are still getting paid.

I think they were addressing an implied specificity in your question. You were asking about American-based media or media for US audiences without explicitly saying that.

For instance, Get Out wouldn’t have hit the same if the entire cast had been white. The racial tension is the point.

Because it sounds like you are saying we accept The Ring remake being a white cast. But if Ringu had been remade with a non-white English speaking cast it would be called woke by US right-wingers. (Even though it’s Japanese fiction. At least I hope it is fiction)

Siothe other person is asking, I think, if Japan remade Get Out for the Japanese audience and used Japanese speaking white and black people, would Japanese right-wingers lose their shit and call it woke for not casting ethnically Japanese actors?

The follow-up question becomes: is it a right-wing issue regardless of the race or nationality of right-wingers or is it a uniquely US problem because of the ignored national diversity of the overall population?

Some perts from the link:

On Jan. 26, 2025, the FDA approved once every four weeks maintenance dosing of lecanemab for early Alzheimer’s disease. On August 29, the FDA approved weekly subcutaneous maintenance dosing of lecaneamb for early Alzheimer’s disease. The hope is that at-home administration of the treatment will be less burdensome…

The treatment will allow people to have more time to participate in daily life and live independently.

Your health care provider will also do a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan before starting treatment with lecanemab

This is actually really cool. Thank you for answering

Speed Extended Release? That would be a wild treatment for certain things.

Adrenochrome would be ironically hilarious since it’s a big part of the Q conspiracy towards Hillary and stuff.

I always thought it was a fictional drug plot device in Fear and Loathing

A dementia treatment?
