5 años y medio con este tratamiento. Al principio cada cuatro semanas y después se ha ido espaciando hasta llegar a las 11 semanas. 900€ casi las dos dosis. Haz cuentas. Suma el tratamiento de la esclerosis múltiple (1200€ al mes). No estoy moñeca porque hay sanidad pública. Y hay que matar por ella

The image shows an X post from @OfTheBraveUSA featuring a quote attributed to Joe Rogan: "I definitely don't think that the government should be involved ever in dictating what a comedian can or cannot say in a monologue — that's fucking crazy!"

Where did the potato come from? Tomatoes, 9 million years ago, apparently.

La mejor manera de ver lo mal que funciona ChatGPT es preguntarle por algo que conozcas bien, ni que sea una receta de cocina. Tiene el carácter de un trabajador pelota que miente y luego disimula los errores para parecer menos inútil de lo que es.

Plants grow stronger under pressure 🌱💪
Weight-induced stress causes stems to widen and grow more vascular bundles. This response is driven by BRs & strigolactones via key signaling genes, boosting seed yield.
