Many Airlines offer you to change your flight to a later date, want to give you a voucher for future use, or delay giving you back your money as long as they can. 

 

EVA said it will take up to 2 months to issue the refund, less service charges. Add to that credit card exchange rate skimming and possibly interest, you're lucky to get 75% back and there's always a chance it'll be zero, as is the case with Virgin.

If you define prostitution as compromising morals for personal gain then perhaps the real prostitutes are in plain sight

Been saying it for a long time, but with the state of the economy and the breakdown of many elements of society, this is going to be happening more often. More people are just going to snap.

 

What's going to happen when sea levels rise and millions of people are displaced, infrastructure destroyed and economies collapse?

Hmmm … sounds a lot like Trump ordering Mexicans to pay for his wall ????

This should spawn new Steph cartoons ...

You might be mistaken.  I think the videos of You tube are of giant millipedes.  These are harmless and eat vegetation.  They are a common exotic pet in Europe.  You get these things here too, mostly they are black, or striped black and orange.  They are move slowly and their legs are quite small and short, and are on the underside of the body.

 

The thing in the OP is a centipede.  There are meat eaters, fast and aggressive... the tiger of the bug world lol.  They have longer, thicker legs that stick out from the sides of their body.

 

They have no sting at the end (that is scorpions).  But, they bite with fangs at the front end.  The large ones like in the OP are very painful if they bite you, and you require antibiotics if they bite you, because the wound often is gets infected.  They are not really know to be fatal though, and I suspect the lady died of complications from other health problems that were made worse by the centipede bite.

 

 

Yes, the Giant Red Centipede if I recall correctly. I was bitten on the ear lobe after one crawled inside my motorbike helmet! The pain was so intense I was shouting also because I didn't know what'd happened. Blood came out which the doctor said helped dilute the venom. The intense pain, worse than a kidney stone, lasted about 2 hours. And yes, the doc did provide me with some antibiotics and pain killers. From that point on, I always checked the inside of my helmet and kept it indoors at night!

the Steele Dossier was compiled from Russian sources by a foreign agent from the UK who was a Russian expert?

Yes. And so far, most of the dossier has been proven true.

Why do you assume they are people? Does the possibility not exist they are bots or Kremlin trolls? We all must realize how integrated these now are disguised.

Time has proven what Putin says and what Putin does are often two completely different things. Something not fully accounted within the military budget are the legions of scientists working on secret R&D military projects at paltry wages.

Also, Moscow's glitz results from the impoverishment of the rest of the country. Many Russians know about Putin but lack options because bad things happen to his competitors. It's no wonder why Trump is so envious!
