If you judge people by the cover you can miss out on a lot of great friendships. Sure some tattoos seem more spooky than others, and facial tattoos are probably a thing that scare away most. But if you sit down with people and have a beer or two and ask what their tattoos represent, you will find out that you most likely have a lot in common. Each tattoo normally represent a story or a point in someone's life where certain things happened. It's not like all people with tattoos are mentally unstable. Some probably are, but so are people with no tattoos. What about Thai people, that has a ton of Buddhist tattoos? Do you feel uncomfortable being around those too?

Pig DNA found in beef meatballs after Muslim council complaints
Virt replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
We can't compare the quality of beef and pig, since both animals are great for different kind of dishes. What we can say is that everyone as a consumer should get what they pay for. If Muslims pay for beef, they shouldn't get beef mixed with leftovers of pig and so on. Having worked in the restaurant industry for 20+ years i know where some of the problems are. Butchers are not always changing or cleaning their equipment properly enough, when they switch from different kinds of meat. Same goes in some restaurant kitchens. I have seen myself several times after we handed the equipment to the dishwashers, we had it returned with leftovers of meat in the different parts of the grinder, so we had to send it back for another cleaning. I can imagine not everyone are going through their equipment like a detective, so small parts of meat are still in the equipment when grinding the next kind of animal. There are parts of the equipment, where you actually can't visually confirm if it's totally clean or not. I can imagine it's the same thing in some of these cases where they find DNA from other animals. Nothing lethal, but it's certainly not good PR. If you sell beef, the product should only contain beef and not parts of pork and so on. -

They are allowed to eat meat considered haram if they have nothing else to eat, or if they are eating it not knowing it's haram. As far as i know. -
It's not 100% that the Vikings had tattoos, but the stories also claim they wore eyeliner, so Ole need to pay a visit to the local beauty shop when he is released, if he was aiming for the Viking look. ???? https://scandinaviafacts.com/how-the-vikings-got-tattoos-and-why/ Many of the tattoos that we use here in Scandinavia with symbols from their era/history/religion looks cool though. And today is Thursday. The day named after Thor, which is also the day magic are supposed to work the best, so if Ole has any magic tricks in his book, today is the day to use them. Because tomorrow is Friday named after Freya, which is a day for love, and it takes two to tango, so......

Driver blames “faulty GPS” for driving into a lagoon in Chonburi

Thailand does not have immunity pass as far as i can read on the danish foreign minstry site, but i would check the Thai embassy website if i were you. If i just had Covid, i wouldn't go to a country that demands a test on arrival. If you are unlucky the PCR test will still flag you as positive. Some shed inactive/dead virus for up to three months, which the PCR test count as a positive case. Other tests can determine if you are good to go, so to speak, but i'm not sure if tourists can get that test, as an extra test if tested positive. So quarantine or find a country that allows immunity pass/no test on arrival?

Thai virologist downplays presence of new ‘Deltacron’ COVID variant
Virt replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
It's still not proven when and where Omicron evolved. Many believe it evolved in a human during a long period of time, but some thought the virus jumped from humans into animals and back again later in a new variant. Which this recent article also describes. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/covid-19-did-omicron-evolve-in-mice -
Thx. Important to point out that it's not Pfizer that are trying to hide something, but FDA that apparently lacks the manpower to go though the FOIA requests. Which is not the same thing as saying the Pfizer data were not studied enough before approving the vaccines. It's two completely different processes. https://www.justice.gov/archives/open/responding-requests Apparently the law says 20 business days, but i think we all can agree it's unusual circumstances if you have received more than 329,000 pages of data. 55 years however sounds crazy and FDA should be able to do it within a more reasonable amount of time. However look at the 9 exemptions, which makes it an extremely time consuming job to go through 329,000 pages of data, when you have to cross check all the data on each page and see if it conflicts with the below exemptions. The FOIA's nine exemptions authorize federal agencies to withhold information covering: classified national defense and foreign relations information; internal agency personnel rules and practices; information that is prohibited from disclosure by another federal law; trade secrets and privileged or confidential commercial or financial information; inter-agency or intra-agency communications that are protected by legal privileges; information that would cause a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy; records or information compiled for law enforcement purposes, to the extent that the release of those records: (A) could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings, (B) would deprive a person of a right to a fair trial or an impartial adjudication, (C) could reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, (D) could reasonably be expected to disclose the identity of and/or information provided by a confidential source, (E) would disclose techniques and procedures for law enforcement investigations or prosecutions, or would disclose guidelines for law enforcement investigations or prosecutions if such disclosure could reasonably be expected to risk circumvention of the law, or (F) could reasonably be expected to endanger the life or physical safety of any individual; information relating to the supervision of financial institutions; and geological information on wells.

It says this in the article. It's that not the same as saying a positive pcr test after day nice are false positive, since there are no live virus left or am I mixing up things? No study detected live virus beyond day 9 of illness, despite persistently high viral loads, which were inferred from cycle threshold values.

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanmic/article/PIIS2666-5247(20)30172-5/fulltext It's old news so no idea why the other poster implies there is a hidden story somewhere. Authorities are aware that PCR tests can test positive after infection. Which is why some countries don't demand a negative test before you can go back to work after infection, since it would take quite a while for some people to test negative.

Would you just as soon get Omicron (and get it over with)?
Virt replied to Paulaew's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
True, but would you try to get it on purpose as topic poster ask? I prefer to have the vaccines and then live my life as normal as possible, but I'm not trying to hunt down a positive person to try and get it ???? Just finished vacation on Tenerife where it was quite packed with tourists, and the airport was like totally crowded. Omicron was spiking on Tenerife too. Living my life as normal as i can and not hunkering down. -

Virt replied to Paulaew's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
Not assuming anything, and i probably get it at some time, but why take the risk and risk ending up in hospital taking a bed someone else might need more. I take my shots, and if i get it i get it, and that's most likely the best way to address this problem. -

Virt replied to Paulaew's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
No reason to get it if you can avoid it. Even if you are vaccinated or not, you don't know how your body will react. You might be one of those that has to go through a rough case of COVID-19 and then it's not worth it, since the anti bodies will go away again, and then you're still able to get another round of covid. Just like we don't get the regular flu on purpose, i can't see why we should try and get covid on purpose just to get it over with.
