A large equipment mechanic I know only wears scrubs.

I might have asked him, "What's the diagnosis Dr." once or twice as after he looked at a tractor/combine etc...

I really do think a trump rally with free beer and everyone having a loaded automatic weapon would be good for America.

They are only "semi" on the papers. The all have cheap mods to turn them "fully" because the "Guvment" can't tell them what to do with their gun.

So untrained cosplayers waving around mechanically compromised loaded firearms.

Definitely run a soil test.

Soil that doesn't drain well often builds up salts. These can make growing anything quite difficult.

From the grape picture I would guess it's a micronutrient deficiency like Zn or Ca.

Long range attacks are about knocking out supplies, the ability to produce new supplies, and the ability to get supplies to the front line.

Say Russia is getting more newly made artillery shells to the front line. The best way to fix this is to blow up the factories.

If you can't take out the factories directly, take out components that the factories need to operate: ore processing, fuel refineries, electricity grid, etc.

The problem is all the critical targets are a long ways from the front line and Ukraine currently has limited capacity to hit them.

Meanwhile Russia is targeting all of Ukraine's internal infrastructure constantly.

Long wars are won by the production capabilities of the groups involved as much as the front line troops.

First off, your rheumatologist is the most important doctor you will be dealing with. For some reason the field collects some odd ones with poor people skills. You may get lucky and find a good one right off the bat. However if the doctor seems to not be listening to you, understanding and explaining your symptoms, go for a second opinion or a third or a fourth opinion. It took my wife 5 different ones to finally find a good one. It's a 3 hour one waytrip to see him but it's worth it. We will likely be moving up closer to him in a few years.

Second be patient with the meds. It will likely take several tries to find something that works. However not too patient, waiting too long can make the disease progress further. However once the right cocktail is found you'll feel a bunch better, until you don't. Changing meds is common and normal no matter how long you have it.

Last, if your in the U.S. and have to deal with our shitty system, get ready to fight insurance. It will be a constant battle if you geton one of the criminally prices drugs. Just don't give up and eventually you will win. One drug refill took my 2 months of twice weekly calls to push it through.

If it ain't broke ...

Cancer is a DNA mutation. Those mutations can be hereditary, random chance, or environmentally caused.

With a scope an AK style gun is effectively maxed out at 300m. After that their accuracy is too low to reliably hit the target. They are designed to put out a spray of bullets at closer ranges. In WWII most combat occured at ranges under 200m so they are effective for what they were designed for.

Very good for combat, not so good for sniping.

Medical privacy ends when the condition may cause detrimental effects to other people. It's not that difficult of a concept to understand.

Somebody who has epilepsy is not allowed to drive vehicles or fly a plane. They might have an episode while operating the vehicle and kill/injure others.

Somebody with a confirmed deadly disease is not allowed to wander around spreading it to others. Their decisions to ignore quarantine restrictions will kill/injure others.

The real story:

Mommy and Daddy paid for 100% of college. They also gifted her a luxury car when she graduated.

They purchased her a 4 bedroom condo while at college. Then charge her roommates rent to pay the mortgage plus a little extra. When she graduated they sold the condo and let her keep the money from the sale.

One night she got drunk at a frat party, ate ramen, and slept in her car until she could sober up because her friend took her keys.

I have been using custom start menus since the whole win8 full screen disaster. Every time I see the default win 10 or Win 11 menu I cringe. So much crap in the way.

Process optimization reaches a point of diminishing returns. Then if tweaked further it degrades the performance. Microsoft reached the close to the optimal OS design at Win7. It's all been downhill since then.

The mobile OS systems are reaching the same point. Optimization has occured and most of the "new" additions degrade the user experience.
