Something is telling me that really don’t want to turn those all on at the same time.

I love how just how shitty the posts get here.

Why? Because fuck you, that’s why.

Correct. That’s how I initially figured it out.

Pam Bondi said 75% of Americans were saved. I laughed, that’s 268,500,000 people, then it hit me. I’ve heard a number of the population that the Heritage Foundation believes is a “good number of Americans.”

It was 100,000,000. Current population is 358,000,000. 89,500,000 is way too fucking close to 100,000,000 for it to be a coincidence. Then they started shutting life saving things down rapidly. They mentioned new census.

In another interview or maybe it was writing and I wish I could find it right now, “obviously executions would be a problem for the state, and would meet heavy resistance. Famine and disease happen all the time.”

The disease one is obvious. But famine is much more nuanced. Tarrifs. Cutting farmers off from their ability to fund their farms. Cutting the food programs. Inflation in eggs. Think of how vital a source of nutrition eggs are.

This regime wants to make the excess death count higher than Hitler, Stalin, and Mao combined.

258,000,000

And the benefit of using the harassment of women against you in the future if you step out of line.

It’s *consequences for thee and not for me" at the finest.

Actually that’s a really good post. I didn’t know that salt without potassium would make you sick, as the products I used always had an amount of potassium in them.

And listening to our bodies shouldn’t be that hard, but here we are lol

I was in a miserable puddle of sensory overload. 15 years after the test I started learning that yeah I’m probably ASD, and there’s a strange correlation with ASD and POTS. Neuron magic.

And no problem with that yeah.

The sweat test was awful. You basically wear your underwear, lie down in what amounts to a glass oven, then they spread sand all over your and you sit still for an hour and bake. Then they take a picture at the end.

And purple means sweat, yellow means no sweat. It shows what sweat glands activated by the autonomic nervous system. Then you have to shower it off and it takes forever.

They were very professional about it though, it was a nurse, a doc, and technician. I guess they were doing multiple tests at the same time, but I never saw other people doing it. Which was a relief I didn’t really want to see other purple people

It does help me keep volume, definitely. I found ones called “vitassium”. They have 500mg of sodium, 100mg of potassium per pill. That seems to work ok with 3L, so it should help reduce your intake.

It’s kind of weird to think about though. All my life I had to listen to my family having too high blood pressure so I got used to not eating salt.

Well that backfired.

Well, bro, I got some bad news on that front.

I’ve been to two of the best hospitals in the world (not on purpose, just coincidentally and they wanted to check it out in their specialty clinics) and went through some unpleasant testing (one is called a thermoregulation sweat test that they cover you in color changing sand), and that’s the exact same thing I have to do.

I take 4 salt pills, drink 3 liters of water, Gatorade or Pedialyte and a beta blocker. I do cardio. The one thing I am starting to get better at now is lower body strength - my legs are pretty dinky and along with increased blood volume, bigger leg muscles can help ease the symptoms.

The beta blocker thing I got unlucky with though, there’s a few of them that are better for pots but I can’t metabolize them (or maybe I rapidly metabolize them so they don’t work at all, I cant remember).

Does really hot weather seem to cause it?

Do you seem to eat less salt than other people?

Do you have persistently low blood pressure but a heart rate that is easy to spike?

If you stretch just right will it happen?

I don’t want to just say “go see a doctor” but having collapsed at very bad opportunities, it is not worth finding out until it’s too late that you have to make some lifestyle changes to function.

I want to point out that Orthostatic Hypotension is normal to some degree.

If you experience it changing positions while sitting, or notice exercise and heat intolerance, talk to a doctor. In the short term drink enough fluids and get a bunch of sodium and potassium in you.

Edit: Im going to step out here and say that I am personally familiar with a condition called Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. It’s somewhat uncommon, and has a lot of potential causes. COVID-19, specifically, can trigger it because of the way it attacks the nervous system. However, the symptoms of POTS are also the symptoms of a BUNCH of other much more serious conditions. It’s a diagnosis by ruling out other things. When they get to the step of testing for POTS it’s hilariously easy. They monitor your heart rate and blood pressure, stick you on a moving table, and tilt you.

On the downside, POTS itself is incurable unless the underlying cause changes or improves. This happens in many people, I was unfortunate enough that they discovered I had unexplainable neuropathies. Either the nerves were damaged when I was young, or they didn’t grow correctly.

The upside is that we can manage POTS symptoms. Avoid heat. Build lower body muscle, increase electrolyte intake, and drink a lot of non-caffinated and non-alcoholic liquids. I take salt pills, drink Pedialyte daily, and have a prescribed (and extremely cheap) medication. It still happens, but it’s manageable, and I won’t die from a head injury anymore.

POTS?

I actually had to start taking salt pills. I still greyout, but I don’t lose muscle strength anymore.

I saw cybercrooks and had to take the opportunity

This feels like an attempt to destroy open source projects. Overwhelm developers with crap PRs so they can’t fix real issues.

It won’t work long term, because I can’t imagine anyone staying on GitHub after it gets bad.

Computer Engineer here, studied QED and E&M.

This is the most accurate answer

I would think the only way they could fight China effectively is by being the extremists that these militants aligned with. Which unfortunately means the CCP is going to crack down harder on anyone remotely affiliated :/

Yeah, that makes sense too.

I would think that the title of CEO might not be appropriate to every organization either. I know a rather big org where the CEO is basically someone who begs for investors, and the CAO does what a CEO usually does. There are orgs where that’s the CFO, or the COO. Regardless of the title, it’s all executives we’re angry about because of the incredible income disparities versus actual responsibilities.

The executives I’ve met are essentially hype men or thumbs up thumbs down types. All of them were finance types or management types. To me, if your only qualification is many years of managing with barely any experience in the actual product/service your org provides, then that’s a problem.

Hospitals run by management types? Engineering services run by accountants? It’s all middlemen extracting piece of the pie from the people actually doing the work.

As a society we need to purge the system of middlemen period. The internet made middlemen obsolete, yet they are still exploiting labor in ridiculous ways.

I’m certainly not kidding about it. Associating with communism or people who associate with communism is a big NO. And it doesn’t exactly make sense anymore, but that’s the FBI for you
