  1. Yes they did, at the beginning of 20th century, with some delusional people deciding to go for some messianic colonial project at the expense of the population living on the land they decided to claim. Shame on all supporters.
  2. Dude just drop it now, you don't have a leg to stand on anymore. Save your soul ^^
  3. Are you delusional? Latest estimate is at 33 million for 2025.
  4. At your age you still believe politicians? Santa Claus too?
  5. Care to share your sources? Here's a couple ones going the other way. The Flu Vanished During Covid. What Will Its Return Look Like? (NY Times) https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/04/22/science/flu-season-coronavirus-pandemic.html Flu Has Disappeared for More Than a Year (Scientific American) https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/flu-has-disappeared-worldwide-during-the-covid-pandemic1/ Flu-zero: More than a year since Australia’s last flu death (News GP) https://www1.racgp.org.au/newsgp/clinical/australia-records-zero-flu-deaths-over-past-12-mon
  6. Apparently they sell it at Makro, else you can order it from Lazada/Shopee.
  7. Google "greedflation"... ExxonMobil: profits of £15bn increased to £53bn Shell: £16bn up to £44bn Glencore: £1.9 bn up to £14.8bn Archer-Daniels-Midland: £1.4bn up to £3.16bn Kraft Heinz: £265m up to £1.8bn https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache%3Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.theguardian.com%2Fbusiness%2F2023%2Fdec%2F07%2Fgreedflation-corporate-profiteering-boosted-global-prices-study&oq=cache%3Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.theguardian.com%2Fbusiness%2F2023%2Fdec%2F07%2Fgreedflation-corporate-profiteering-boosted-global-prices-study
  8. You should try the Thai Worcestershire sauce (Gy-Nguang Formula 2), you'll be surprised, it's the same sauce for a fraction of the price.
  9. There are no 750 strains, that's total marketing BS, effect is just batch-dependent. There are no differentiated phenotypes and red/green/white are initially just different drying methods used in Indonesia (red is dried under the sun, green is dried indoor, white is usually a mix of both or other parts of the leaf like veins). The color of the midvein, which can indeed be red or green, is in no way correlated to alkaloid content.
  10. Effect is dose-dependent: low dose = stimulant, high dose = sedative
  11. It's called greedflation and it's the new thing, everybody's doing it, from huge to small companies. And the numbers are staggering... This so-called inflation episode is actually a gigantic worldwide robbery. "Among the companies that increased their profits most from the pre-pandemic average were: ExxonMobil: profits of £15bn increased to £53bn Shell: £16bn up to £44bn Glencore: £1.9 bn up to £14.8bn Archer-Daniels-Midland: £1.4bn up to £3.16bn Kraft Heinz: £265m up to £1.8bn" https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/dec/07/greedflation-corporate-profiteering-boosted-global-prices-study
  12. Proper backpedaling there, good to see :) Thx for the heads up!
  13. You want to use crypto for this kind of transfer, you'd save a lot of money. Using a stablecoin (like USDC or USDT, where 1 USDC/T is always =1 USD) so no market risk. At today's rates (1 USDC = 34.61 THB = 1.48 AUD on Bitazza+Swyftx) THB->USDC->AUD gives 1 AUD = 23.38 THB while mid-market now is actually 23.47 (xe.com)... Transfer itself costs just a few cents so you don't transfer all at once, for safety you can (and should!) test the route first with a small amount. Don't feed the bank: be the bank and save your money :D Feel free to PM if you want I'm happy to help on those
  14. Aerobatics were in a Decathlon not the 152 lol With what 100HP no chance the 152 would even go anywhere near vertical anyway :D The spins we did in the 152 a bit later in the training but I remember we'd only go for 1/2 spin and recover way short of full because the AC was not certified as aerobatic.
  15. 1994 here... I also went through some spin recovery but I remember at the time CFI insisted that it was not part of syllabus. I cant say I was shocked though because introductory flight had consisted of landing the 152 on a muddy dirt trail to attend a huge crayfish jamboree at a farm, then (!) a few loops and rolls (and a couple hammerheads, fun indeed) in a Decathlon. Then we had to wash the mud collected upon landing off the 152, so FBO (nor FAA :D ) wouldn't know of our little escape. Proper good times lol
