  1. I'm a little confused. How can an MRI detect prostate cancer? It can detect 'something' in the prostate, but (as in my own case), the 'something' that was thought to be cancer growths turned out to be benign calcium stones, and that could only be confirmed by a biopsy.
  2. When have the Jewish population made problems, such as raping young girls?
  3. and more violent, more crime blah blah blah since some immigrants decided to import their own culture and low standards into the capital.
  4. True! Look at how many rocket failures elon Musk had: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9FzWPObsWA Science is all about learning from one's mistakes, so definitely try again!
  5. Honesty is not racism...
  6. Good to see that they have pixelated the pidgeon's face!!
  7. Rather than just copy and paste from Chat GPT, let's hear your own opinions!
  8. What if I support the Cambodians?
  9. Why are there very few Burmese refugees in the UK? After all, there's a civil war going on in Myanmar with many innocent men, women and kids being shot and bombed to death. Unlike the Syrian and Somali and Afghan men, the Burmese (men and women) stay and fight for their country. Unlike the Syrian and Somali and Afghan men, the Burmese (men and women) are almost all Buddhist or Christian.... The Syrian and Somali and Afghan men are cowards, and prefer to 'leech' off the generosity of others. Remind me of their religion again....
  10. Thanks very much for the consultation with Chat GPT 🙂 Since I've had this illness for 25 years, I'm already fully aware of the various lung exercises, medicines and precautions that I need to take. Because I follow these recommendations, my illness has not got worse in these 25 years, but I do have 'flare-ups' and at these times I can get a little short-breathed, but nothing that concerns me greatly - an oxygen concentrator is cheap to buy on Lazada, (or a small oxygen tank) could help. Right now, I have no flare-up. The bronchitis/flare-up slowly receeded (as it always does), but it takes a few weeks to fully recover. so now I am in good health and just waiting for the next flare-up! I'm wearing a good quality N95 facemask when close to others, and that should help to reduce airborne infections. Also, note that this is not an illness of my alveoli. My lung x-rays are always clear. It is an illness of the bronchi that passes air to/from my lungs. They are wider than normal and therefore my body naturally produces more mucus. So when I have bronchitis, a lot of mucus gets stuck in my bronchi, thus making breathing more difficult. The best treatment is mucus-thinning medication, so that I can cough up the sticky mucus 🙂
  11. Anyone can see that this is an Orwellian 1984 style law. I saw the TV interview with Trump and Starmer at the golf course. When Trump mentioned free speech, that idiot Starmer piped up to say that the UK has had free speech for a very long time. What a tool! This law aims to silence free speech..... At least Trump has the balls to speak the truth and to humiliate starmer to his face.
  12. Only for BPH (prostate), because I've had minor BPH for years, never seems to get worst. Prostate cancer is covered.
  13. Of course, no one knows if an insurance company will honour a claim, but I am insured for $400,000 cover with WR Life for the past 2 years. I pay 5,700 baht for that cover, including evacuation and $10,000 funeral cover (my premiums don't increase because I've never had to make a claim). I'm 66 years old. But your premiums may be higher if you are an unhealthy lard bucket with high blood pressure and diabetes..
  14. Top bloke that Trump guy!! I wish he was in charge of the UK...

    That's a nice looking cow:)
  16. It has a vent valve.... It's not a 25 baht mask 🙂
  17. Well, I'm glad you're not my doctor, spouting that kind of unscientific garbage! You seem to be suggesting that wearing an N95 mask is akin to breathing in and out from a balloon... I wear an N95 mask every day, all the time that I'm outside and in proximity to others. I certainly have no problems breathing freely with my mask on, jogging is also no problem.
  18. Why? And does your comment also include efficiency against common cold, flu viruses, airborne bacteria, soot particles etc?
  19. Yes, that was indeed a problem! Too many sub-standard and useless masks
  20. Some posters seem to think that the only reason to wear a facemask is to guard against Covid pathogens. This is rubbish! Doctors, nurses and patients in hospitals wear facemasks to protect against all airborne pathogens, such as flu, common cold etc, and then larger pollution particles, soot etc. Wearing a mask can also protect others from the krap that you are breathing and coughing out.....
  21. Huh? masks proven to be useless against viruses? That's a new one on me. Sure, some basic masks are not very effective, but what about N95 masks and their effectiveness to filter out the very small virus pathogens. Dr Google says: N95 masks offer a high degree of protection against COVID-19. Studies have shown that N95 masks are highly effective at blocking the virus, including airborne transmission. One study specifically highlighted the "duckbill" N95 mask as nearly perfect in blocking the escape of airborne COVID-19 according to a study by the University of Maryland | School of Public Health. While any mask provides some protection, N95s offer the most significant reduction in the spread of the virus.
  22. Cambodia does seem to lack the weaponry to win this conflict, so why was it started? I think China is behind it: - China eggs on it's puppet Cambodia to start/retaliate in a conflict - China already controls Laos and Cambodia and parts of Myanmar - China threatens Thailand and the 'West' gets seriously worried! - China and the West agree to let China take over Taiwan if it stops the Thai-Cambodia conflict by giving Hun Sen a slap! Far-fetched? China plays the very long game and will use whatever means necessary to reach its goals.
  23. Lol. that's what they said about the Thailand-Laos fight, and look who won!
