I feel the same way. I'm not completely against the technology, but please let me say "no" and remove the models and kill the processes.

Steve and Wendell are treasures. Looking forward to the investigation and the findings. I live in the EU, I own a C2 that is not connected to the internet, and all LG and Alphonso endpoints are blackholed on the network, however I'd love to dumbify the TV further with some hardware intervention.

Finding an obiettore is a somewhat rare circumstance in a hospital, but it's unlikely in a consultorio familiare; those are structures whose only purpose is reproductive health, gynecological care, social services, and psychological consult, especially aimed at teens and women. If you're an objector you generally don't go out of your way to work there.

Ah that does it. Abortion pills are not candies. There's a reason why they are expected to be used in a hospital setting, with medical personnel nearby. If these websites facilitate the distribution of prescription meds, they're no different from other "online pharmacies" and get the same treatment

Abortion is legal in this country, and any woman can go to the hospital (as in the ER), or at a consultorio familiare to initiate the process. Both options are free of charge and free of judgement, especially the latter. As to why these two websites were rendered inaccessible it beats me, as there are many other local alternatives one may peruse, and they're all accessible. Hell, even the Italian Government Website has resources[1][2]!

Because usually doctors and cardiologists recommend people drink less caffeine, as it tends to increase blood pressure (hence a cascade of things you want to avoid in hypertensive and cardio patients), disrupts sleep quality to some degree, and might increase the ectopic burden

Electrolyte imbalances (alcohol, dehydration), and catecholamine surges (sleep deprivation, stress) are excellent triggers

This statement is particularly interesting as it goes against the common sense, and the common suggestion that some (most?) cardiologists and doctors give to cardiac patients (lower / no caffeine).

However, some arrhythmologists and electrophysiologists sing a different tune. When I was diagnosed with something complex and novel that results in ventricular arrhythmia (PVCs and VT), my EP was, to put it mildly, uninterested in my consumption of caffeine. He said that, at worst, it made no significant difference. That was a few years ago. I was pleasantly surprised.
