This has deep vein thrombosis / pulmonary embolism written all over it.
Basically blood doesn’t circulate in the lower extremities because of the distance from the heart - when it stagnates for too long it starts to clot.
Then a chunk of the clot breaks off, follows larger and larger veins until it gets to the heart, gets sent smaller vessels in the lungs until it can’t fit and becomes lodged.
Really should sleep horizontally.

The developer made this change from a personal laptop at their local public library.
Shhhhhh.
Previous poster is probably talking about a company-owned computer. I’d be fired in a hurry if I installed anything on one of the computers at the hospital I work at… MS office is the only option for me at work.
33% of the US are traitors. Not just to the US, but all of humanity.

As opposed to using a mechanical keyboard to do it. Otherwise the headline would be “The CIA Is Clickety Clackishly Using AI to Build Emulated Versions of World Leaders”
Unsure why we need to know the volume, but here we are.
AI doesn’t even meet the bar for stupid, in the same sense that a toaster isn’t stupid… it isn’t any measure of thought processing, because it doesn’t think.
It generates slop based on slop that it finds/pirates.
Trump (like Reagan) was literally an actor, before becoming President. It is not that surprising that Trump can “act” when given an opportunity which arises.
Well yeah… it looked like acting.
Ear wounds bleed like crazy. It could be just a little nick.
Little nicks still produce a scab. His ear was back to 100% in like 2 days. A fucking zit takes longer to heal than that.
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
That rule absolutely does not apply to world leaders. He has mastered getting away with evil shit by playing the village idiot so people just brush it off as stupid.
It would also require the shooter to more-or-less agree to be murdered.
It would require him to agree to make an assassination attempt, fully expecting to take the shot and probably some elaborate escape plan – all without knowing his real instruction is to sit pretty while responding agents proceed to kill him. Again, outlandish and probably not how it actually went down, just an example of the kind of shit that’s less implausible than the official story, which is in direct conflict with what we saw plainly on national TV. ‘Ignore your eyes and ears’ and such.
Few reasons:
It played out like a cheesey action movie. Gunshot goes off, everyone dives down behind the podium for a sec where the cameras aren’t pointed, just long enough to pull a fake blood packet out of a pocket and also it onto his face. They emerge immediately after, everyone sporting an over-the-top expression of panic, except for stone cold badass Mr prez, who just pops up with a triumphant fist pump. (reminder, this is the same guy whose life flashed before his eyes as he was recoiling away from a bird on his desk that pecked in his direction)
We never saw damage to the ear tissue, just blood streaked on the skin.
Dude just casually climbs up to an extremely obvious vantage point with a long gun a stone’s throw away from someone under Secret Service protection, during an extremely public showing of an extremely controversial figure, and is allowed time to set up the shot.
Days later the bandages came off to reveal there wasn’t so much as a scab, it was just magically healed up completely.
So how would you make something like that look semi plausible? Kill someone in the audience. Trump doesn’t give a shit about his supporters or anyone else under his power. Firefighter? People fucking love firefighters - they’ll be real mad about that.
So… It smells enough like bullshit that I’m calling it bullshit. Could have been something like the gunman was an impressionable dipshit that they knew could be easily radicalized, convinced him to take the shot, and sent him up with a fake bullet. An actual sniper nearby, possibly inside that same building, had his gun trained square onto the firefighter from an angle that didn’t put Trump at any risk, and assassinated the pawn. Cheesey action movie scene plays out, dude on the roof gets killed by responding agents, and bam: Trump is a living martyr. Would only take a few key people to be in on it.
Outlandish? Absolutely, but less so than the official bullshit we were fed, and way more in character for Trump.
No one said there wasn’t a shooter or bullet - would you put Trump above sacrificing a pawn for a photo op?
No of course not, gunshot wounds to the ear heal up completely with no scar tissue in like 48 hours all the time. One of the ER techs asked Grok.
I think those might have been bulls.
I share that frustration, but discouraging voters from showing up isn’t going to help anything: focus your anger at the actual fascists, not the ballot box.
Actually achieving some meaningful reform is a complex project that requires every tool in the box. If you run into a stripped screw, don’t get mad at the screwdriver for not working, but instead reach for your other tools to use alongside the driver. Might need to grab it with a vicegrip (like a general strike) or whack it with a hammer (like a molotov cocktail), but don’t just discard the screwdriver - the screws aren’t all stripped, and the project is a lot bigger than just the one striped screw. If the next screw is also stripped, by all means light up another, uh, hammer… but the screwdriver is the easiest and most effective option for the parts of the project that aren’t already fubar.
So… advocating for alternatives when they’re called for: absolutely necessary! Throwing the screwdriver away: unnecessary and critical error.
Fortunately voting isn’t mutually exclusive to any other flavor of activism. So, unironically: yes, please do vote, as often and informed as you’re able to.
Light up some billionaire’s warehouse on the way home if you want, but voting is easier and safer than pretty much any offer method of driving some rapid reform, so start with voting, and take whatever other action you feel still needs to take place.
Lots of hate on voting lately… Why? Use every tool we’ve got.
He should paint the walls red.
So we have one Nazi dead and another in prison. Win win.
The cool thing about voting is that it’s not mutually exclusive with any other action.
You can assassinate a Nazi, cast a vote, join a protest, and burn a Tesla dealership down all in one day.
So… vote. It’s easy and super low risk. Do whatever else you think will make an impact too - but in addition to voting, not in lieu of. And I don’t just mean the big elections - voting a Nazi off of your local school board or w/e is going to make a bigger impact to your community than any dipshit in DC.
It may not fix the country by itself, but it’s a tool in the box that we need to use every resource from that we can.
Coincidentally, Charlie Kirk did become a case study on how to effectively deal with hate speech. You’d think the state would prefer to steer people toward less extreme responses, but with those no longer an option, a bullet to the neck did shut that fucker up.
So, sure… let the next Nazi step into the spotlight. I’ll tune up the world’s smallest violin for when he gets fast-tracked into a dirt nap.
This makes me realize I have no idea what poppyseed actually tastes like. I’ve had lemon poppyseed muffins/bread, which are delicious, but just taste like lemon - the poppyseed gives it a nice fine crunchy texture, but doesn’t make any detectable impact on the taste.
…and now I’m second-hand annoyed at OP’s situation of finding a product that promises to highlight that taste, but turns out to be more false fucking advertising.
I want the thing pictured in the wrapper!
Then again… random piss tests… probably not worth it.
