Using my own meter and numbers are worse than above. North Bangkok.

Wonder what you're smoking, Bob...

I flew China Eastern to/from Shanghai several times, but that was pre-COVID. They used A320 which has a different feeling to a wide body jet, but seat spacing was OK, service was good, plane looked new, food was decent, flight was on time. I can't complain over them. At that time it was certainly China Eastern plane, not Shanghai Airlines (which I've never flown with), but things might have changed since 2019 when I was last using them. TG was more comfy flight, though. Again, that was before they went bankrupt. Their service had a significant downgrade since, but still better than some European carriers had at their best times...

Sometimes too much emphasis is put on genetics. Sometimes answers are very simple. Parents do something that is harmful without realising it. Their children do the same as that's what they've learned from parents. Their children again do the same... so by doing same thing, causing same conditions, they all end up with the same diseases. But that's not genetic. It's inherited lifestyle.

Good discussion on sources of sugar but.... actually sugar isn't the main cause of diabetes. Type 1 is an auto-immune disease where the immune system produces anti-bodies which attack the beta cells in pancreas that produce proinsulin, which breaks down into insulin and c-peptide. The beta cells over time die off and are unable to produce any more insulin, hence patients generally require insulin injections, usually both the long release daily dose and additional doses before meals of short release insulin. To check if someone has type 1 diabetes, a c-peptide test is performed, and reading below 1.6 is considered beta cells are failing, and obviously 0 means they've failed completely. Usually antibody test is performed as well, and if positive, there's no hope of them recovering, although it's also very rare to see pancreas recover after failing for other reasons. Most people diagnosed with type 1 are young, up to mid 20s, although there are some cases where it develops later in life. It is not caused by sugar, but rather allergens found in some foods, most often quoted was cow's milk. Type 2 is insulin resistance. Meaning there is insulin in the body, but cells can't use it to absorb glucose from blood. Again, while sugar and carbohydrates cause spikes in glucose, they are not the main reason for insulin resistance, which often can be reversed (increasing insulin sensitivity), and there are several quite successful programs for it, which include cutting out fats, blaming them for "clogging" cells and therefore starving them of energy. Type 2 diabetes patients are generally very slim, although they consume large amount of foods. Improving sensitivity to insulin can lower the glucose levels without medication, although it requires significant lifestyle changes, where many people rather take medication like Metmorfin, or even resort to insulin injection. There are several more types, but above 2 are most talked about. Still, it's quite important to know that regardless of sugar, especially refined one, and processed carbohydrates that very quickly turn into glucose, are not good for you by any stretch of imagination, they are not the main causes of diabetes. Other lifestyle choices and foods are, however.

Published just in time... like 20 seconds before the first thunders hit my area. Well done!

Maybe this?

That's all BS. Everyone knows that highest number of sex partners is in AseanNow, where members self declare numbers in at least 4 digits...

One of my favourite birds despite some bad press on battery and assembly quality issues. Took it just a month back to SG and it's quiet, seats had lots of space, just outside engine covers looked a bit discolored, and some paint towards the back of the plane chipping off, but nothing serious. Service was ok, food was a bit below par, but acceptable for bankrupt airline. Overall, not complaining.

Maybe less obvious as there's another truck to his left (which went across the road trying to avoid that Fortuner that was thrown in front of it). What was the driver that this id!ot hit into supposed to do? Push the truck on his left off the road?

One could be mistaken by thinking that someone as experienced as SRT would have signed maintenance agreement with supplier when they procured the escalators...

Your windpipe will thank you for this

Bad day for VIG

I think there's a hint in that article why she left him...

Your hearing is as bad as Weird Al Yankovic...

Sometimes stars align...

Right. Remove the import duty especially on luxury items and cars, then.

Why deport? If Thais do something illegal in their country, they get fined and sometimes thrown in prison. Why should foreigners be any different?

Time machine?

That was my first thought as well - reinstall and the embedded Windows license should activate Windows automatically. I'm also worried in link I shared above, where they stated that mostly the error comes from some installed malware or wrongly installed updates. That's worrying. But, maybe OP has some important software installed, so maybe worth to try salvage it, and if not, format and install from scratch from USB stick created by Media Creator is last resort.

This is a much better guide: https://windowsreport.com/windows-10-update-error-0x800705b4/ But it's for Windows 10, although mostly applicable to Windows 11 as well.

And this thing is only a few months old. Just think of what state it will be in after 10 or 20 years...

Very appropriate day to make that announcement...

OK guys, the party is OFF!

What exactly do you use Adobe Acrobat Pro for? Is online editor of any use? Like https://openpdf.com/lp/edit-pdf.html or https://www.adobe.com/th_en/acrobat/online/pdf-editor.html That's just 2 examples. If you were using Windows, I'd recommend FlexiPDF but it's not free, it's 500-1000 baht per year, depending on feature set. It's way better than Acrobat Pro.
