If you wake up at night with your heart pounding you might consider getting tested for sleep apnea. Sleep apnea can cause cardiac strain during sleep and resolves when you wake up and breathe unobstructed, but long term the stress on the heart can lead to atrial fibrillation and eventually CHF. Another sign of sleep apnea is waking up frequently in the night to pee, seems unrelated, but it causes disregulation of antidiuretic hormone
It is sort of puzzling how, after the US provokes a conflict and then demonstrates it cannot protect the UAE at all… they double down on the US as a regional guarantor and forsake even a nominally independent foreign policy
Vance literally converted to Catholicism less than a decade ago. Imagine being an adult, converting to Catholicism, and then letting someone who subsists off of the blood of younger people and even says he is an atheist convince you that the motherfucking pope is the antichrist… And Vance does not suspect Theil (who seems to live in the uncanny valley) or the literal disembodied voices created by mankind that have already been leading people to madness, of being the antichrist.. If this were fiction the story would be had to believe
idk, given with these statements and “israel” breaking the ceasefire in Lebanon… I don’t understand why Iran doesn’t strike first and hit those refueling jets currently parked in the region that are basically just waiting for the US to order another surprise attack
Based on US state dept/media precedent. If the election takes more than a few hours to decide only a “preliminary” count from a US funded NGO can be accepted on a website set up and hosted prior to the election, doubly so if the country suffers an internet outage/cyber attack. Sorry, those are the rules. Xeno’s paradox can’t withstand the US state department edict
I wonder if they will now have recourse against the brits for stealing their gold and giving it to the juan guiado crime syndicate
one thing that concerns me is that the US already has a base of operations at guantanamo
40% of their own oil is still short 60% -which is quite significant … also, just because they are extracting crude doesn’t mean that they have enough of the right kind of petroleum byproducts they need
I am just spitballing so take this with a grain of salt: It is likely because a petroyuan would create an international demand for the yuan. If i understand correctly, this would transform their currency from a sovereign national currency that can be used internally with a great deal of control over inflation and value- vs a de facto international reserve currency- which would theoretically open it up additionally to speculative extractive behavior, and may lead the the exporting of yuan as capital- thus giving an incentive for more extractive behavior from its own bourgeoisie. if their goal was to be another imperial project that would be fine- but I don’t think china wants that. That is why they likely prefer a bancor or using multinational exchange to settle accounts rather than switching the global reserve currency from usd to rmb
it is to muddy the waters and give plausible deniability to the people carrying out illegal orders, but i agree they actually dont care
this is a hot take and shouldn’t be applied to every pediatrician: many people in the US work in pediatrics because they are incredibly sheltered, judgmental, lack true compassion, and are the most self-righteous.
many people in pediatrics choose working with children because children are innocent and their disease cannot be blamed on personal moral failings (and these types absolutely view a lot of illness as justice for personal moral failing.) They absolutely judge parents for their childrens illness too, however. these are the people that wont take good care of diabetics, smokers, and addicts because they don’t like them and can never imagine themselves or their loved ones being sick that way. They lack true compassion and so they pick a field where they can act as savior but only for the perfect victim. This also applies to a whole lot of oncologists (cancer is random so many “good” adults suffer from it too). Sorry if this sounds jaded, but it has always driven me crazy how judgmental people in US healthcare can be. Its an emotionally exhausting work environment but many choose to hate their patients instead of the system that causes so much illness and so much injustice
I think the true purpose of the shahed copies were to hit sensitive targets outside of the current conflict zone to stoke blame on Iran and widen the conflict
