I'm just some random person on HN so please take this with giant heap of salt, but you've described problems in 2 of the 3 major organs in your arterial system (the third is your kidneys). FWIW, I'd encourage a Hematologist to look there.

Covid can do some strange stuff. FWIW, I've found the Epley maneuver helpful with BPPV.[0]

Sorry about your troubles. I agree with your hypothesis that COVID does more damage when given the right scaffold and that underlying conditions lay the groundwork for lasting damage. Have you considered your problems may be clot related?[0]

Unlike the Olympics where the sports are often obscure, boring or both, the world cup is comprised solely of an exciting game, much which of the world is familiar with from childhood experience. It's a sport that doesn't favor physical giants over skill and depends upon team cohesion over individual talent. As a result, we often see smaller countries with something to prove knock out bigger, established countries. Unless it's your team that loses, EVERYBODY loves an underdog.

Do they? Or does Elon have to explain in front of a judge that employees about to go on protected leave/ older workers/ less fanboy were not unfairly targeted?

My money is on settlement to prevent any judge from seeing how the firing decisions were made.

Firing a pregnant lady in CA simply as a cost cutting measure usually results in a nice settlement for the pregnant lady. FAFO, Elon.

Does this mass layoff comply with the WARN Act and California's mini-WARN?[0] What about all of California's protected classes?[1] The pregnant ladies let go before their FMLA seem especially aggrieved.

Maybe some lawyers here can chime in: How soon will we see some class action lawsuits?

I'm pretty sure that one of the levels of Dante's hell is working a ship's galley in rough seas. Trying to keep your nausea under control despite the lack of fresh air and not get burned by all of the hot, sloshing liquids is only for those who have very sturdy sea legs and a high tolerance for burns.

Was Tucker as pro Wahhabi as he is pro Putin?[0]

Because Moscow doesn't have to beat the US on the battlefield of Ukraine if they can ignite a US civil war and force a military withdrawal assymetrically.

Wealth is a proxy for race.[0] Good luck to any court striking down wealth based admissions.

Also, Biloxi is very affordable![1]

Who said anything about race? If you can afford Choate, you can afford $250k/year at Harvard. But the kid from Biloxi, MS gets a "scholarship" so she only pays $25k/yr.

If race is barred then the next method could be increased emphasis on perfect price discrimination to distinguish applicants socioeconomically. Outrageous tuition prices coupled with generous "scholarships" can also create a diverse student body.

Reagan was warming up for the presidency in his second term as CA governor in '71.[0]

It's written as your primary domicile when you take the loan. There is no way to enforce that it remains as such for the life of the loan.

> should I be able to demand that every restaurant have a separate, peanut-free kitchen

Why stop there? There also needs to be a separate nut-free section of the restaurant for dining. Inaccessibility is frustrating but nuts are deadly!

If it can cure depression, I don't see why it can't also improve your chess game.[0]

>effectively sentencing them to homelessness forever

Not if you have lived in Florida for the past 40 months[0], which is why many professional athletes change their residency to Florida and start the clock on the day they sign their professional contract. It appears Alex missed a trick here.

The key here will be if they can attach any of his assets despite his pleas of poverty and filing for bankruptcy. The victims may end up owning the studio he is currently broadcasting from (and his cars, home and anything else of value).

You're absolutely right. There are probably plenty of foreign ministers who would love a late night talk show segment with Stephen Colbert but convincing the show producers would be an impossibly tough sell without high powered connections.

It's remarkable. Between the myriad international and domestic crowdsourcing events (eg, Bayrakter TB2s [0][1], a Tank [2], lots of Drones [3], First Aid kits [4], etc), the postage stamp [5] and the Foreign Minister doing international late night talk shows[6], they've set the bar for Global PR tactics of an invaded country.

Not to belittle the windfall but a thousand bucks doesn't go very far these days, especially for families. Because of the timing of the payouts in Oct & Nov, it's probably just going to make a lot of the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays better than they would have been. Get your Honey Baked Ham order in early, I guess?

Other people how? For many it's just a refund on state income taxes.

Students can always repeat a class to get a better grade but this removes the stain of a failure on your report card.

> what's the purpose of retroactively withdrawing?

GPA inflation. Failed O-chem and ruined your chances of a top med school? Not to worry, how about a do-over!

> but their rockets are working

... against soft targets, which just add to the list of war crimes. Shoigu et al. will spend the rest of their days behind bars should the West nab them before they fall out of windows.

> Russia has been preparing for this for a very long time.

We've all seen the "mighty" Russian military at this point and how pathetic it truly is. It's so gutted at this point it's sending old men to the frontlines as cannon fodder for the impending military defeat.

A last ditch effort to scare the world with a nuclear weapon would bring much of the western world into its borders to dismantle whatever military and industrial capability it has left. Any nuclear subs would be hunted by superior Navies to a watery grave.

There would be no WWIII. It would be the end of the Russian empire and all of the Russian oligarchs would carve up the remnants (Prigozhin, Kadyrov, etc).

ps- the oligarchs are likely to do it anyway, but they prefer to get the spoils before the West destroys the infrastructure.

The world's largest military is prepared to neutralize all nuclear threats as soon as the first bomb goes off. It's not hyperbole to suggest that much of the western Russian military infrastructure (Army, Navy and AF) would be eliminated within days. Remember, NATO is only giving UA the small weapons and Russia can't even defend against those.

"We have a saying in Russia, “to bomb Voronezh.” Voronezh is a Russian city not too far from the Ukrainian border, but the phrase does not refer to bombings by Ukraine. It refers to the Russian authorities’ perverse habit of retaliating against their own citizens in response to the actions of other governments."
