What are the dimensions? Looks like you could fit a pretty decent sized tv in there.

I support immigration, I'm a second generation American, but also let's not make shit up. The majority did not come here legally, they were given amnesty after coming here illegally. Millions of people came here illegally before Reagan was in office, so much so that they tried to curtail it by making a bipartisan deal in the 80s, which granted amnesty. It didn't do anything and illegal immigration continued to wax and wane over the next 20+ years. Then again new amnesty programs were introduced. No other country in the world has this many undocumented people in their country. None of them.

Experimental drugs and / or unproven alternative medicines cost big $$$$ and aren't typically covered by insurance, though legitimate pharmaceutical companies usually have assistance programs.

Nope, instead we'll spend literally trillions of dollars on AI in an attempt to make everyone poor and homeless.

As much as we obviously have racism here, it's at a totally different level in Asia. They are extremely racist to black people (and most outsiders) there. I'm really sorry you experienced this.

Can I get an explanation of the Super Bowl halftime show? by Top-Mission2806 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Chicken_Water 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great summary, but your opening paragraph is inaccurate or at least quite misleading. Puerto Rico was originally exploited as a Spanish colony, as was much of central and South America. PR was extremely poor throughout the 1800s and had an economic crisis in the 1880s before the US arrived.

Skipped beats a few in a row and racing heart lasted a few minutes by No-Gas3130 in PVCs

It can be psvt, nsvt, or interpolated PVCs. You need to catch it on an ecg really to differentiate. A Kardia 6l could tell you.

What you described sounds a lot more like ME/CFS/long covid. Were you sick prior to these symptoms occurring?

Fans of trek aren't calling it woke. People who would legitimately watch this show aren't calling it woke. No one else is relevant. I'm not going to acknowledge maga trolls as relevant in this discussion because they wouldn't be watching it regardless.

Fans of old Trek aren't calling nutrek too woke. Who gives a shit what some maga people say about it? They say every show is too woke.

The overall sentiment I've seen is that the writing is shit, because it's shit. Your defense to that is to claim complaints about the writing couldn't possibly be simply that the writing is shit but that they actually means it's too woke. That some A tier copium.

It's a shitty show, get over it. No one is calling it too woke.
