The ATL airport should open a bar where you don’t have to go through TSA and you could sit and just watch the people walk by all day. My favorites are the parents sprinting through the terminal with their kids trying to make a flight.

Hopefully you saw that they have started building the new causeway over Mobile bay on other side of tunnel. First cement pilings are in. Pray it will provide relief

That’s the word going around now and what was posted in a group chat I’m a part of with people that have connections. quote:Double lung pneumonia. He’s had it the last 4 weeks. Walked to the ambulance then walked from the ambulance into the hospital. Did scans and saw both lungs completely full of blood then his entire body started to literally blow up like a tick. He was out of it the last 12 hours or life. Went on a ventilator at 2am and coded 3 times during the night and was long gone before they even announced actual death. But the pneumonia is what killed him first everything else that happened, was after he was already gone. He did pass out after he got of the sim at Chevy. That’s when the ambulance came.
Just to clarify. Blood in the air spaces in the lungs is called alveolar hemorrhage which is typically different than pneumonia which is infection/inflammation. Knowing that he was complaining of a “sinus infection” last week and asked for a shot (possibly to include steroids), this is consistent with a progressive pneumonia, bacterial or viral.CT can suggest blood, but need a BAL, (bronchoalveolar lavage)
Now if lungs actually did have bleeding, that is worrisome for a nasty virus.for full list ask your favorite AI what viruses cause pulmonary hemorrhages.
Very best case for public is that this is bacterial. Otherwise Best case is that this was a severe form of flu A (like H1N1) or SARS2(Covid), worse case Hanta or other. I suspect they are waiting on the diagnostic test to come back to determine infectious source and hopefully announce as the story of what happened gets around. It will be natural and appropriate to be concerned about a transmissible cause.
The blowing up like a balloon at the end is consistent with them pumping fluids to support the ongoing cardiovascular collapse.
re: Illegals CUT OFF from US financial system; no welfare, no benefits, no banking

If there is no bank, there is no method for funds transfer. States don’t have capacity for cash payments.
And EBT cards have restrictions and now might not even work.
So how will states pay? They will have to set up a new infrastructure

I’ve been to Paris at least 4 times and London probably 10. Work related but time for exploring. The one thing I wish I had studied before for both cities were the Metro. Very efficient once you understand the map grid and how to navigate. Watch YouTube videos or something before you go. And once you learned the logic for one, you’ll probably find the other one easier..
I suspect in Paris, you’ll spend a good bit of time on the yellow line.
Free tip, if you’re going to go to the Louvre, highly suggest a guided tour. You get to go in through an express door. And even if the tour guides only with you for 2 to 4 hours, what they do is they will show you ways to navigate through the multiple wings in the most efficient way and where the highlights are. There are so many that it is very competitively priced..
In London I wish I hade gone to the “British Museum” sooner. It’s incredible.
You’ll be safe in the standard tourist areas.

If the local law enforcement doesn’t do anything about this, what’s the point?
This is good, but will divestment occur of what they own? Will it block over seas purchases which are also all cash and potential investment firms.
But great first step!

Yes, so brilliant he got shot by his on troops accidentally after a flanking maneuver. Isn’t something taught in general school 101 about don’t put yourself or your troops in direct line of fire from your own army?

quote:whatever these, if any, may be, hard to imagine they would result in a negative therapeutic index when you take into consideration the know benefits of reduced cardiovascular and stroke events not to mention lowering A1c and preventing metabolic syndrome.
Maybe for now. They still don't even know the full scope of long term issues that GLP-1s cause
I don’t understand why the “ unknown long term risks”, are somehow used as an excuse for not utilizing when the positive short term risk benefit is overwhelming positive on lowering risk of death? These drugs prevent heart attacks and strokes and if the trade off is a bit of muscle mass, so be it.

Thanks for posting this.
It’s a bit surprising that years in education doesn’t seem to correlate with productivity. Not surprisingly that more paid holidays results in less productivity.
The health care coverage is a bit suspect. While it is true they have a “free” system, the access to specialists is through a primary care gate-keeper who can be very stingy in referring out snd even if they do a crazy long wait time, effectively ensuring no timely accesss. The US has had EMTALA laws since 1986 allowing access to any person needing emergency care at any hospital in the country accepting Medicare, so all of them.

Too bad the GOP in Cali doesn’t do the same. Cali has a much higher standard for not doing this
People forget Romney got more total votes in Cali than he did in Texas.
His total in Cali was roughly equivalent to what he got in Louisiana Kentucky Oklahoma Arkansas and Kansas combined.
These are not “Progressives” leaving. They have a hive mentality and need constant re-affirmation that they are better/smarter/correct from the echo chamber they live in. There could be some reformed moderate Dems, aka Elon Musk, that are no longer comfortable with how far left the progressives have moved.

What is the net net of seats looking like in the house when all is said and done? Approximately? Will it be essentially a push due to California?
