Iran warns of wider attacks as Trump calls for international naval force in Hormuz

ASEAN NOW News · yesterday at 03:27 AM1 day

Iran signals further escalation in regional conflict Iran has warned it may expand its military actions across the Middle East, threatening facilities linked to the United States after President Donald Trump suggested that several countries could send warships to support efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The strategic waterway, through which a large share of global oil supplies normally passes, has been largely closed by Iran since the start of the current conflict. The fighting began nea

The Art of Becoming Irrelevant
The Art of Becoming Irrelevant

123Stodg · Saturday at 03:17 PM2 days

I am not going to address anyone directly because I do not want anyone to feel like a jilted lily, but I have noticed something interesting about my own forum reading habits. For one, I read far more than I post. Often I do not even log in to scan through a few topics, and if someone averages about a dozen posts a day, I tend to skip right over anything they write. It did not start that way. At first I just noticed certain posters who write extremely long posts waffling on about their personal

Antisemitism…is all of us
Antisemitism…is all of us

unblocktheplanet · Friday at 05:36 AM3 days

For me, the conversations we’ve been having here on racism and, more particularly, antisemitism have been very instructive. I’ve learned a lot by talking with all of you. Most of us are familiar with the story of the good German, the ordinary person who followed orders, no matter how far against morality or humanity they went. Eichmann’s defence at Nuremburg was, “I was only following orders.” They hanged him anyway. You see, that’s not good enough. We all like to think of ourselves as better

McDonald’s Beef Patties in Thailand, Any Good?
McDonald’s Beef Patties in Thailand, Any Good?

Kyoto Kyle · Friday at 10:31 PM3 days

I’m wondering if McDonald’s beef patties in Thailand are actually any good in terms of meat quality. I can’t remember the last time I had one here. Maybe once or twice many years ago. The reason I’m asking is because I just realized there’s a 24 hour McDonald’s within walking distance of where I’m staying now. If the patties actually taste decent, I was thinking that late one night I might buy two double cheeseburgers, or maybe two Quarter Pounders with cheese, take them home, stack all four pa

Doctors in Thailand - Approach with some caution
Doctors in Thailand - Approach with some caution

ronnie50 · 19 hours ago19 hr

By and large medical care at Thailand's private hospitals is pretty good. But one thing I've observed through the years of visiting doctors in big private hospitals here is that many/most are not very thorough in asking questions about the patient's medical history. They are often quick to arrive at a current diagnosis, write a prescription, and a return appointment again in 2 weeks. When I say 'not very thorough' - I mean they don't ask you (enough) about your medical past or any other medica

Deficiency on a few vitamins. What should I do?

Ive been low on copper for 4 yrs and take 2mg everyday for ages. I tried upping the dose to 4mg before but felt a bit sick actually. My Vit D levels are just below the 30 normal range.

Cardiologist (angiogram/stent)
Cardiologist (angiogram/stent)

Letseng · March 10Mar 10

Had a heart attack a few months ago. Due to a kidney issue doc decided not to do an angiogram at the time because of contrast medium. Can't live with this heart problem as I can't even swim 20m or walk at normal pace. The cardio I see is not a person who explains or likes to answer questions how to get the problem dealt with. Any recommendations for a specialist in Bangkok.
