To be fair, when the IDF shoots a news reporter in the head with a sniper rifle it's not about race, it's about stopping discussion of the issue.

Reply to Researchers have found the genetic links between headaches, migraines and blood sugar levels, which ultimately could lead to targeted treatments for patients by giuliomagnifico

As a youth I used to get hunger migraines quite frequently. They could also be triggered by extreme stress, but that was much rarer. I would be in gym class mid-morning starving having only eaten cereal for breakfast. Then the scintillating scotoma would start, and I would end up with a migraine later in the day. Usually, they were extremely painful and confined me to bed but that was it.

As an adult, they became more infrequent but more severe. The scintillating scotoma stopped but if I went too long without eating I could "tell" I was going to get a migraine by what I craved after fasting (e.g., ice cream) and how I felt after I ate. The extreme pain would set in several hours later, followed by vomiting resulting in a vicious pain-vomit-pain cycle.

Thankfully I haven't had one in 20 years. Whenever I visit the doctor my bloodwork comes back normal. A1C, blood glucose, triglycerides, etc. I suspect it was/is metabolism related (with me anyway), specifically low blood sugar. Something that's become more regular and predictable as I've gotten older.

Glad they're getting to the bottom of it. Migraines run in my family but that didn't deter high school science teachers from telling me that I was lying about getting migraines because "only women get them."

This would allow either allow Ukraine to use HIMARS more effectively from a distance or, if they wanted to be risky, they could strike northern Crimea from just outside of Kherson. Russia will have to relocate its ammo dumps twice the distance they currently are.

Aren't some accused remanded to jail without bail pending a trial? Seems that violates most Constitutional rights as you can't buy guns, for instance, when you're in jail. Nor can you open carry while in prison.

The point being there's precedent that says you can deprive an individual of any right, temporarily, if there's indication that they will flee or commit another crime.
