  1. Don't you need fishing rods, given the location?
  2. Given your evident bias and refusal to acknowledge facts when posted, it is difficult to treat you as a reliable source of information.
  3. I would have thought getting a photo or video, and posting it on social media, would have made him see the error of his ways.
  4. Some of us have authentic and fulfilling careers. Others have jobs they hate. It's not a big leap to understand those people would then become envious, and try to drag down the others to their level.
  5. No error, but thank you for the alternative. Being Australian, there are other expressions, such as galah or drongo.
  6. Seems to me Trump will say anything to get himself another headline and more attention, however irrelevant it may be.
  7. You may be right. Trump has very successfully marketed himself as a champion of the disadvantaged. The other example of marketing is Microsoft. People are buying both of those, too.
  8. I guess I did. However, I can't be bothered with following name changes in the cybersphere.
  9. I am not a fan either. Having said that, her net wealth is $1.1 billion. Nobody amasses that much money by being stupid. The combined wealth of Madonna and Stefani is $1.01 billion. As Arthur C Clarke once said in one of his books, the old can be insanely jealous of the young. Trump and her is just another example.
  10. "Spare head"? the correct term is spearhead, although admittedly you could use an extra one.
  11. 91 indictments is not abuse, it's fact. Fraud is fact, a court has said so. Sexual assault is fact, a jury of Trump's peers has said so. If we have TDS, at least the addiction is healthy. Your addiction to posting rubbish is not.
  12. You really need to have half a dozen stiff whiskies, perhaps you would make more sense then.
  13. And Trump downplayed it. Look at the Woodward interview.
  14. You should too, if you are going to act as an echo chamber for Dolf's moronic postings.
  15. Yeah, like Trump doing nothing during COVID.
  16. If lime juice in water at room temperature is efficient, then that is the way to go as heat may degrade the active alkaloids. OTOH, heat also destroys any harmful bacteria, such as salmonella. Perhaps a compromise, washing the leaves in water with added chlorine prior to freezing or grinding? The important thing is to have a standardized preparation process, and stick to it.
  17. When petrolheads see the letter N on any Hyundai model, their eyes light up. Some people buy Mercs for the cachet of owning one. I bought mine for the same reason. A bad decision on my part, bloody thing was a money pit. I have a Toyota Vios which is 18 yo. It has never let me down the way that Benz did. Stuff cachet.
  18. Russia has a ruble in the rubbish bin, interest rates at 16%. The market for Russian gas in Europe is gone, never to return. It has a demographic collapse in working age people. All its technicians and engineers are near retirement age, the oil output from Siberia and Sakhalin is shutting down as wells freeze. No foreign capital is coming into Russia. High tech products are embargoed, Russia has to cannibalize washing machines and refrigerators for microchips. I would hate to fly on a domestic aircraft, they are not getting updated manuals or new spares. It's estimated planes out of commission are about one-third of the total fleet. Russia is stronger? News to me.
  19. Why not simply put the leaves in a blender with some water? I am assuming citric acid in the lime juice assists in extracting the active chemical. How did you come up with the 90 C simmering specification? My supplier { Thai villager ) boils the ground up leaves for at least an hour. I always get my supply in refrigerated condition. That makes sense, all chemical reactions, including degradation, are slower in cold conditions. It's why we store meat and dairy products in a refrigerator.
  20. Everyone's physiology is different. Cannabis, morphine and tramadol do absolutely nothing for me. I can remember a hospital nurse being astonished when a fairly hefty morphine injection failed to give me any relief from severe chest pain. OTOH, oxycodone works. Kratom would be my go-to if I was in severe pain, given what it does for me in small doses.
  21. I would suggest washing the leaves in clean water prior to extracting with boiling water should get rid of any chemicals. It's what everyone does with food such as lettuce and cabbage. At risk of espousing conspiracy theory, I would say Big Pharma would never want kratom on a pharmacy shelf. Cheap, and more effective than their synthetics.
  22. He'll assist Putin to finish the genocide Stalin started. All you Trumpers seem to live in a moral vacuum, just like Trump does.
  23. So what? I have enough. If you measure people by their wealth, IMO you're as shallow as a mud puddle.
