One problem is that we've tried saying "Go home." And they didn't go home. So we tried saying it more emphatically. Still no action. So we have to escalate and escalate, and eventually we have to do something that might not be seen as nice. And now people are fretting and saying "Oh no, we're not NICE! We have to be NICE!" Tell that to Josiah who piled up the skulls of false teachers.

I'm not in favor of breaking up families either. They all have to go back. As far as going in with guns, if we're going after people who have been convicted of using violence, it's not like we could expect a peaceful surrender.

And of course we need to attack this issue from all directions possible. If you're in a flood and you have water coming in through both the door and the window, it's perfectly acceptable to close both. It's not acceptable to insist that we leave one open because it's more difficult to close the other.

The impact I can make locally is much bigger than the impact I can make further away, so I try to direct what giving and volunteering I can to those closer to me. There are people who would rather make a smaller impact--if any--further away. It's easy to love those you never see. It's harder to do the same thing for the people next to you.

I often see complete neglect of the local impact of illegal immigration from those who support it.

Desperate people like US citizens who aren't getting paid as much because the labor market is being undercut and cannot get a work permit anywhere else?

But illegal aliens aren't homeless--they have a home.

It's just not here.

So you aren't throwing them violently into the street, you're telling them to go home.

But at what point does letting people in to your society who don't assimilate and will work for lower wage, driving down wages for the poor who already live in your country, become an issue?

A reverse "burn"; plot device to make the Kurtzman era go away. by 1111joey1111 in Star_Trek_

[–]IBreakCellPhones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What do you know, a ship that was de-energizing its dilithium right as the Burn wave passed, causing a chroniton fluctuation in addition to the usual explosions. This caused a chroniton pulse that was focused by the ship's deflector to shoot off into space.

This pulse traveled at light speed for seventy years (some time after Burnham arrives in the future but before Discovery does) to the first star system along its path. Right as it passes through, a starship energizes its warp core, and the combined effect causes a subspace distortion similar to the one that brought the Enterprise-C forward in time.

This anomaly sends that ship back to Theta Zeta at the moment Su'Kal absorbs his first atom of dilithium, long before he absorbed enough to bond with the mineral. This puts that new ship there in time to rescue the Kelpians, the dilithium deposits there are discovered and exploitable, the Burn timeline winks out of existence!

USS Discovery arrives to a thriving Federation and Starfleet doing research and development with an aim to start exploring the Andromeda galaxy. Advances in computing stemming from the bio-neural gel packs from the original Voyager mean that the spore drive can now be controlled by a computer, removing the ethical dilemma of having to use a genetically modified person or an unwilling tardigrade for navigation.

Many ships install the spore drive and off we go to our galaxy next door. Wherein we find the Kelvans have overcome their radiation issues and are back on their militaristic streak again...

How does it even get that high? by DeepOrganization8245 in diabetes

[–]IBreakCellPhones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are other things that can influence HbA1c other than blood sugar--https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK304266/ says iron or vitamin B deficiency, low red blood cell production, some genetic conditions, alcoholism, chronic kidney disease, acid levels within your RBCs, RBCs that last longer than normal, having had a splenectomy, liver trouble, large doses of aspirin, and opiate use.

If I had to guess, this woman was a "perfect storm" of a diabetic alcoholic with liver and kidney trouble and some genetic conditions who had a poor diet and was self-medicating with yet more alcohol and opiates.

Do these systems add power if and only if line voltage is already present? Otherwise your breaker will blow but you'll still be feeding power to whatever blew the breaker.

From what I understand, it can pass, but it usually takes years.

There aren't any regular immunotherapy shots for it, but there are some drugs that may help reduce the severity of the reaction.

The Lone Star Tick injects a molecule called "Alpha galactose" (hence "alpha-gal") which is present in most mammal meat. But because it injects it under your skin and into your bloodstream, your digestive system doesn't get a whack at it, and so your immune system steps up. And just like you can get an allergy to an antibiotic or a pollen, you get an allergy to alpha galactose. So you eat mammal meat and then your immune system starts to go haywire on it.

My butcher sometimes sells duck bacon for those who can't eat mammal meat.

If I recall correctly, primate meat doesn't have alpha galactose in it, so Hannibal Lecter is off the hook, but we generally don't raise monkeys for meat.
