Blood test for diabetics
Something similar but way cheaper is CGM from Ottai. I'll put link below, but main thing is that it connects to your phone (no reader needed, but they have a watch for people who don't want to connect them to their phone), it reads every 5 minutes, has 30 minutes warm up time, lasts 14 days and costs below 1000 baht. A 1 piece sensor like Libra, just no yogurt cup assembly needed before installation. In their app, there's "average level" and from looking at what it showed in there vs test done in hospital, it was within 0.1 margin a few times now. Hence CGM, costing below 2000 baht/month for 2 sensors, could well give you what you're looking for, and on top of that, show you real-time glucose level (it's very close to blood check), has a little bubble that can show all the time on phone screen, compares with previous days, allows you to enter meals and exercise to make sense of how your body reacts to it, etc. Below is a kit of 2 sensors for 1 month. You'll just need an Android or Apple phone to install app from Playstore/Appstore. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/ottai-glucose-monitoring-set-2pcs-continuous-glucose-meter-no-finger-pricking-m8-cgm-monitoring-sensor-i5469004482-s23190036584.html

Harassment of Taiwan an ominous clue to Trump 2.0 foreign policy
On the flip side, can US afford World's best and only 2nm foundry to become Chinese? That would put Silicon Valley in the position of Huawei under Trump 1.0.

Harassment of Taiwan an ominous clue to Trump 2.0 foreign policy
Why would TSMC bother with Donald's demands? Intel's foundry sucks. Samsung is marginally better but incapable of producing the volumes it needs. AMD, nVidia, Qualcomm, Apple, etc. rely 100% on semiconductors from TSMC. If he slams the tariffs on them, he's only killing American companies. I say - let him do it.

‘Historic’ Approval Rating For Trump In His Second Term ,despite the lefts negativity.
On the flip side.... if you were Fox News, you could turn the table and say he's a winner, number 1, the alpha, the most disapproved President in American history! That's an amazing achievement.

DEI injected in high-risk professions, impacts safety of users of their services
Diversity is important when you are innovating or designing products and services, as diverse opinions and ideas give you a wider customer base, since those diverse people can share what would work for them. Air traffic control is probably not an area where you put diversity in front of experience and competence, though. But I would argue that, even if this happened, it would probably not be the sole reason. Covid's global travel shutdowns also had a lot to do with competences lost. Pilots, mechanics, ATC,... these people were out of work for years, doing other stuff. Mistakes seen after they returned, and all the way to now, at least some of them, also attribute to something lost during that time, procedures forgotten, routine stuff sidelined. Not arguing, just saying that there would be other reasons for dip in aviation safety, and that pandemic shutdown play a part.

Thai couple arrested for swindling millionaire out of 21 million baht
Yes, you steal 21 million, and get fine of 60,000.... unless there's another part where they have to return everything they've stolen? Hope there is. But if they don't have it (or it can't be proven they do)...?

Midair Collision Near Reagan National Sends Plane into Potomac River
https://ix.cnn.io/dailygraphics/graphics/20250129-dc-crash-map/static/media/ai2html-graphic-desktop.9a0f1774.jpg Orange is the line of the plane, and yellow (or lighter one) is the path of the helicopter. An air traffic controller said, “PAT 2-5 do you have the CRJ in sight?” The controller then said, “PAT 2-5 pass behind the CRJ.” The audio then captured audible gasps, including a loud “oooh” in the background apparently from the tower, at the moment of the crash. The tower then alerted another pilot of what has taken place. “I don’t know if you caught earlier what happened, but there was a collision on the approach end of 3-3. We are going to be shutting down operations for the indefinite future if you want to go back to the gate. Highly suggest you guys coordinate with the company. Let me know what you want to do,” the controller says, referencing runway 33.

Set up a Company in Thailand and hiring foreigners
No, you won't. And not your friend's girlfriend either, not until you have shown significant revenue, and hired at least 4 (or is it 7) Thai employees. Until then you are not going to get a work permit, not for you nor the Laos national. So of all 3 of you, only your girlfriend is allowed to work.

UR CNY Celebration?: Will you add Chinese OpenSource AI to your computer tonight?!!!
- Did We Really Land on the Moon?
Given the flags are still there, I would say human race did land on the moon. Just on the first mission, they have put it too close to the lander, which caused the engine to blow it away - lesson was learned and subsequent missions placed the flags further away. Which are still visible. https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-19050795- UR CNY Celebration?: Will you add Chinese OpenSource AI to your computer tonight?!!!
Google would NEVER do such a thing!- Looking forward do U.S. expats face the risk of retaliation by nations burned by Trump?
So self-sufficient other countries hold trillions of Dollars of its debt, which is massively increasing every second... US possibly could be self sufficient. But that would mean a massive downgrade in living standards that rely nearly entirely on cheap imported stuff from China and labour from pretty much everywhere. That said - what Trump has done by deporting criminals - that is the absolutely right thing to do which should have been done a long time ago, and should continue happening, not only in US but everywhere.- Looking forward do U.S. expats face the risk of retaliation by nations burned by Trump?
If this happened to more than one country, the others would simply decide to switch to using another system of trade that excludes US Dollar. If that happens, US economy would collapse in a week.- Nationwide Face Mask Distribution Begins to Combat Air Pollution
KN94/N95 do have moderate effect on pollution but only when fitting the face well (which most people don't know how to achieve), then you have apart from the proper respirator like on your photo also electronic respirators - they use fans and HEPA filters. Probably most popular was LG Pure Care. But they are expensive and battery doesn't last very long, so they are OK for someone using it for a couple of hours outside, but not for someone wearing it all day. It is however more comfortable to breathe in due to fans blowing air inside and trying your face if it's hot. Because of the fans blowing in and having higher pressure inside than outside, they also don't have to seal that well, although the silicone mask around your nose and mouth is quite tight. https://www.lg.com/levant_en/air-care/lg-ap300awfa- Trump's call with Danish PM sparks alarm & International Tension
What cause for concern? That would be green light for Russia to take the other half of Greenland and Eastern Europe, and China to finally take Taiwan, which would mean the only foundry that keeps US technologically ahead of China would become Chinese. And no, with the speed that this is happening, TSMC would not be opening another foundry in US, so you'd be stuck with Intel at 95%+ failure rate. Or Samsung, which begged TSMC to make their advanced stuff, a request that was denied. So basically what Trump is doing would doom US technological companies and hand the dominance to China. Which, btw. has most if not all minerals, deemed "critical raw materials". And they already closed the tap on several of them to US. MAGA Masterplan! - Did We Really Land on the Moon?
