Middle aged fat guy here, but walk for exercise. Decent pace, about 5km per day. But one day, just after I started out, out of nowhere, I couldn’t seem to get enough oxygen. Well, it felt like I could get a full breath, but nothing was happening with it.

I stopped until I could ‘get my breath back’, then continued my walk with no problems.

Next time I went to the doctor, I told him about it. Various tests, etc. Turned out to be Atrial Fibrillation. It’s where the top half of your heart says, “Nah. Don’t feel like pumping blood today. You can just have it trickle down to the lower chamber”. Lower chamber fervently grabs what oxygenated blood it can to pump to the rest of the body.

Fortunately, able to be managed in my instance, with medication (though I did have a ‘cardioversion’, where they stop your heart for a beat to ‘reset’ it).

Given the severity it can take in others, I feel very fortunate mine is manageable.

Your friend might not have that, but they might. It’s an easy couple of tests to find out.

I’m still fat, but I’m still walking, and more often than not, I realise how good feeling like I’m getting enough oxygen is. Which is a nice little boost.

BEEP “Eyes are not on the road!”

(The word ‘road’ has the word ‘ad’ in it).

Cronkite. Strong name!

Musk must be at least slightly upset by the latest missile attack by Russia on Ukraine. The children killed were white! His DOGE cuts on USAid proved he prefers to have a hand in non-white children dying.

That left quite the cavity. Looks like it’s gonna be hard to extract.

I believe wok cooking requires direct flame in order to turn out properly. Don’t know about other types of cooking.

I’d use it about as much as I use Grokipedia and Grok. And his ‘scan your credit card in’ bot thing.

Which is not at all.

There goes 90% of the internet …

Last time Martial Law was declared across the entirety of the US was 1862, when Lincoln enacted it, but applied it to specified categories of people (rebels, and those aiding them). But this is straight up Nazi shit.

Who oversees the National Guard if (when) they declare the Democrats cheated (because that will be the orders they’ll be given, in no uncertain terms, on the quiet)?

Trump is no doubt sprouting a chubby little mushroom stalk at the idea.

What legal preventatives are available for the Democrats to stop this shitfuckery before it starts? It’s a grey area whether or not Trump needs Congress or the Senate’s approval to enact Martial Law, but it’s not really been taken to court, AFAIK, to test. Plus, he ignores them as if he’s forgotten they exist, anyway, pulling Executive Orders out of his arse as if they were on a roll of toilet paper he lost up there during a particularly energetic ‘Truth’ Social rant.

Australian here, BTW. So there’s a lot I don’t know about US politics. But I do know Martial Law wouldn’t be good for free and open elections.

Big Cheungus!

Y’know, if he had any kind of faith in his product, ol’ Droopy Tits would get in it himself, fly it around a little. I mean, he tells everyone he’s some sort of a genius engineer. Doubtless he can figure out how to fly it within a few seconds. Surely no problems would come from that.

“I’d love to help you with your great idea, but the states aren’t currently united”.

But … he’s very, very busy being President of the United States of America! His time is not his own! He has to compose ‘truth’ social rants, and nod off during meetings, and talk about himself at his pep rallies, and stuff his face with McDonalds, and cheat at golf …

So his opponent is practicing her Freedom of Religion. In this instance, Wicca. If he’s a solid Catholic, he’s free to go drink the literal blood and eat the literal flesh of Jesus (after transubstantiation) during mass. By the same token, she should be free to perform whatever spell/s she likes. That doesn’t make her ‘demonic’. Unless she’s literally summoning demons, in which case, Masterson needs to play The Best Song in the World.

Sorry, no. Non-clickertation of the clackers is one of the leading causes of early clackers declickeration. Clickeration of the clackers warns of problems early, when maintenance can be applied to the clackers before ongoing misaligned clickeration can have catastrophic effects on your clackers. Remember the old saying: Nine clicks is a fine thing.

Now to find out who killed Biggie!

If I had my time again, I would do it all the same.

Ewe Boll presents … Titty Roach

sigh

I miss powdered toast.

Is the water at least hot?
