Foreign couple condemned for sex antics on Phuket beach (video)

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. -
Trump says he ‘wouldn’t protect’ Prince Harry if he’s reelected
Lacessit replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Seems to me Trump will say anything to get himself another headline and more attention, however irrelevant it may be. -
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.

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.

Pawned Cars For Sale - Very Cheap
Lacessit replied to wozzlegummich's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
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. -
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.

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.

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.

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.
