Killing of Senior Iranian Figure Ali Larijani Intensifies Leadership Turmoil

webfact · 4 hours ago4 hr

The death of senior Iranian official Ali Larijani in an Israeli airstrike has deepened uncertainty within Iran’s leadership, removing a key strategist at a pivotal moment for the country. Larijani, who served as secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, played a central role in shaping decisions on defence, diplomacy and national security. Though not a military commander, he was widely regarded as one of the Islamic Republic’s most influential policymakers, particularly in managing

Which country's passport is most beautiful? And, why?

GammaGlobulin · 9 hours ago9 hr

Dear Folks, I have, for many years, been so envious of the beauty of the British Passport. It is far more lovely than my own. For example: If you could buy one, which one would you buy? Alternatively, out of all countries on Planet Earth, which country has... \The most beautiful passport.... Aesthetically speaking, of course. How much would you pay for one of these, by the way?

HEGSETH: Would you say he is a “dandy” ?

GammaGlobulin · 21 hours ago21 hr

Dear Folks, Ever since the Iran War came into full view, and since the time Hagseth, too, began flexing his muscles, in his too-tight-little suit-jackets, I have been wracking my brain trying to recall the image he most evokes, just based on my many decades of living. Then, wouldn’t you know it? Just about 5-minutes ago, it finally hit me. I know, I know, I shouted. Hagseth is the SPITTING IMAGE of the Dandy song, "Follower of Fashion", first sung by the glorious and very incisive KINKS. Thi

Helmet on Compound Fence Posts nr Driveway – Why?
Helmet on Compound Fence Posts nr Driveway – Why?

henrik2000 · 1 hour ago1 hr

Hello, in rural Thailand I often see old helmets perched on fence posts near the driveway towards the family house. (See pic below.) Occasionally it may be something else, like a rotting stuffed toy or a boot, but usually it's a discarded helmet. The helmet is always next to the driveway to the family home; it will not be on any fence post further away from the family home. Is there any special superstition or funny belief/ritual connected to that helmet on a fence post? I would like to hear fro

Will Trump back down?

GammaGlobulin · 19 hours ago19 hr

Dear Folks, I have absolutely no idea how to create a “poll”, on TV. However, be that as it may be, what is your opinion? Will Trump back down? Deep in his big heart, Trump knows that the right move, given the reality of his situation, is to finally step down from his high-horse, and just….BACK DOWN. Do you think he is capable for doing so? Yes? No? IMHO, the answer is a definite YES. Trump is easily capable of pragmatically backing down, and getting out of Iran, while the getting is goo

Price of sleeping tablets
Price of sleeping tablets

CallumWK · yesterday at 06:03 AM1 day

For a long time already I suffer from sleeping disorders, as in I wake up many times a night, and actually never have a solid sleep. I have tried natural sleeping aids like 12mg Melatonin, but they don't have any effect. Sleeping tablets like Diazepam work perfect, and I sleep until the alarm goes off, as intended. I have no side effects from them. I had 8 tablets of them left, which actually were expired for 15 YEARS already, and I have taken them with good results in the last 6 months. So now

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

ronnie50 · Monday at 03:42 AM2 days

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

Did you know - How your walk can signal your mood

CharlieH · 11 hours ago11 hr

The way people walk may reveal more about their emotions than previously understood, according to new research that highlights how subtle changes in movement can signal how someone is feeling. Scientists found that the swing of a person’s arms and legs plays a key role in how others interpret their emotional state, with observers able to detect feelings such as anger, sadness and fear from walking patterns alone. Movement as emotional expression The study suggests that walking — a routine and la
