I pretty sure these chicken were introduced, right? I have no Idea why they are protected. Maybe they look nice? :p
No. those chicken are not protected. and they must bought onto the island couple hundred years ago and some getting away.

Because the island have no nature predators and human do not eat them, so they just getting populated everywhere.

The island of Kauai have wild chicken running wild all over the road.

I ask why, are they protected?

The answer is: Those chicken meat are very tough. so no one catching them and they have no nature predator.

I say: the island do not have enough Chinese people on it. Between my wife and my mother in-law.........gave them couple month, no more public nuisance.

It's azumio instant heart rate app. And a normal resting heart rate is very rhythmic. It should be between 60-100 for a normal adult. Mine drops down into the 40's if I'm having preventricular contractions. I feel faint and tired when this happens. It I have too many of them (sustained bigeminy), my chest will hurt.
Any lower than 47 and I tend to lose consciousness. Just seconds before this my heart rate was 109 because I was standing, which is totally normal. It dropped to 48 and climbed to 49 during the reading. This is just a screen shot of a scrollable reading.
This sounds very similar to my friend but she has POTS where basically if she stands after sitting its like when normal people "get up too fast" but worse... you sound just as casual about it as her too... meanwhile when she talks about I freak out for her!

I have POTS too. Actually I think my arrhythmia's are mostly neurological (they appear to be completely an electrical issue from drs have been able to find). As they are set off by msg, which is an excito-toxin to the brain. I also have raynauds, which is neurological as well. The raynauds and the arrhythmia's presented around the same time. The pots has always been an issue for me.

from what I understand pots is just always an issue, She has Chiari Malformation which is notably probably the cause for it as well as EDS making her a whole bowl of irregularities. We're actually "running" 2 races together this fall which should be interesting for any reasons you could imagine!

I have no idea! I give her credit because she literally plays it off like its no big deal while she sometimes cant get up some days she feels so bad. And the 2 races will be obstacle races too, but I'm already aware it'll be less running more walk-racing. If you want I could message you her facebook page to check out? She just posts updates and how she's dealing and stuff about awareness and whatnot especially since all 3 are pretty unhreard of diseases.

Partly yes, that's the condition. It sucks. It helps being in south Texas but I chill SO easily. Stores and restaurants down here keep the A/C cranked to max and it is triggered entering pretty much anywhere down here in the summer. This is why I have to go sit outside in the summer heat and joke about being reptilian LOL.

How is everyone?
I just had a DOUBLE guacamole, Swiss, bacon burger wrapped in lettuce at a Red Robin. I got a double and skipped the sweet potato fries. Man it was soooooo good. Messy, but good.
