Thanks zikzak!

A bunch of people in Saudi Arabia just got arrested, can someone smart explain?

Sounds like a failed coup. Details seems murky at this point. Saudis Arabia isn't quite an opaque place either.

didn't yemen just bomb a SA airport or something?

google news mentions a missile being shot down

Baked Alaska is on it

LLOLOLOL coo. The pigeons are revolting.

Lotta doves.

Among those arrested was a billionaire Saudi prince who owned part of Newscorp and has been twitter fueding with Trump.

Trump called him "Dopey Prince".

Say what you want about the tenets of communism. Dude, at least it's an ethos.

I was always a bit skeptical that missiles about to reign down on a city could be intercepted and shot down. I guess the US does have that capability. Apples. Them. How bout. It's like that old T-mobile game Atomic Dove where you could shoot down nukes with a barrage of atomic doves. I bet this terrorist err uh I mean patriot missile defense system didn't even have to shoot multiple birds.

Either way, I'm kinda ready to just say **** it, let's see the giant death robots.

Anyone ever play Atomic Dove btw?

Trump's the kind of guy that wouldn't even multi phone, he'd just make his main a feeder, spamming tanks and nukes and he'd have zero parks and when he gets nuked by a massive clan and his entire empire is choking to death in radioactive waste he'd be all "this is fine!"

Oh yes I just did. Atomic Dove reference that absolutely no one will get. **** yeah!

This isn’t a political post, but it’s a PSA that might be valuable to some of you.

So, I was hospitalized this weekend with a condition called rhabdomyolysis, which is a pretty serious syndrome where you muscles break down and enter your bloodstream, damaging your kidneys. It can lead to kidney failure and death if it’s not treated. I had no idea what it was, but I was lucky that I had a friend who knew about it and mentioned that I might have it, so I was able to get it diagnosed early before my kidneys were seriously damaged.

There are a number of things that can cause it, but in my case it was from a workout that was too strenuous. I have been going to Orange Theory for most of the year and hadn’t had any issues with their workouts, but Wednesday was the first time I’d been in several weeks because the hurricanes threw my routine out of whack. Anyway, the workout session didn’t seem particularly intense or more strenuous than normal, but I by then end of it, my legs felt unusually weak. Like, I could barely jog on the treadmill. I didn’t think anything of it and went about my day with no issues. The next day my quads were sore, like you would expect after a workout, but the soreness was much more intense than I’d ever felt (I’ve always been active, played sports growing up and whatnot, so I’m very familiar with that type of muscle soreness). I still didn’t think anything of it, even when I woke up the next day and the soreness had increased. Also, I should note that I could barely bend my legs without intense pain that made me feel instantly exhausted. By the third day of this soreness that hadn’t subsided, I thought it was a little strange but I’m getting older, so I still wasn’t too concerned. Idid mention it to a friend who attends the OT classes with me, though, and she immediately got concerned and said you might have rhabdomyolysis. One of her coworkers had it and she almost died from it. This worried me, so I contacted a friend who is in residency as an ER doctor, and she told me that I could go to a walk-in clinic and get a urine analysis to see if there was hemoglobin in my piss. So that’s what I did, and sure enough, there was. (On a scary side-note, when the nurse at the clinic gave me my results, he said that they could also do blood work to see if I actually had rhabdomyolysis, so I asked him how long it would take to get the results, and he said 3-5 days, which if I’d waited that long my kidneys would have been destroyed, but had i not read about the condition and known that it was something that needed immediate attention, I may have listened to him and waited). So I went to the ER, they took a urine and a blood sample and immediately hooked me up to an IV. The blood test came back showing that I was in rhabdomyolysis and they admitted me into the hospital where I’ve been since getting lots of fluids.

Anyway, I was incredibly lucky that my friend had heard of this fairly rare condition. If any of you do any of these more-rigorous workout programs like cross-fit, be aware that this can happen.

See, that's exactly why I live a sedentary lifestyle and eat lots of saturated and trans fat.

I see it in the news from time to time. One of the times a few years ago it was 3 female friends where all 3 of them got it after doing a workout together. They believed it was because of some pullups exercise they all did.

So what's the solution to fix it? Just rest and fluids? I'm pretty medically ignorant. I eat dinner off of asbestos plates.

Not sure exactly what they do but whoever gets rhabdo have to get quickly to the hospital and hope they dont die.

Yeah, they just pump you full of fluids to flush the bad stuff out of your bloodstream.

Oh that makes sense. I was thinking maybe someone could just lay in bed and drink 7 up but I doubt that would work to clear out your veins.

Good morning, enjoy this video ice cream recipe someone shared with me on facebook.

Does 7 Up still exist, though it was a thing of the 80's?
