'What’s the harm really?'—you're confusing safety with efficacy. I suggest you could use boiled water as an alternative to over-the-counter ordinary lubricating eye drops if needed. It’s safe for your eyes — but why would you, when there are cheaper, purpose made lubricating drops specific for dry eye than Renu already on the market? After all, the topic is eye drops for dry eye, not for contact lenses.

Maybe you can assist, but I cannot find any information that supports your claims. In fact, Bausch & Lomb only has FDA clearance for Renu MultiPlus as a lubricating and rewetting drop for soft contact lenses during wear — not as a general dry eye treatment. The official FDA filing (K980591, p.4) states: “ReNu MultiPlus Lubricating and Rewetting Drops are intended to lubricate and rewet soft (hydrophilic) contact lenses during wear.” And the Lazada label in Thai explicitly says: "ไม่ใช้สำหรับรักษาโรคตา" — "Not for treatment of eye diseases." Seems clear — it’s not designed, approved, or labeled for non-contact lens users or dry eye sufferers.

Renu drops are NOT for dry eye. They are only for contact lens wearers with lens-related dryness. They moisten the lenses, which can make contacts more comfortable. But if you have dry eye as a condition, Renu isn’t designed to treat that. It doesn’t target the inflammation, tear film issues, or gland dysfunction that might be causing the dry eye.

If you get pre-exposure rabies vaccination (PrEP), you don’t need expensive Human Rabies Immune Globulin (HRIG) or Equine Rabies Immune Globulin (ERIG) after a bite— if you can find them — just two follow-up vaccine doses. For comparison, here are current Thai Travel Clinic (Mahidol University, Bangkok) prices for an 80 kg adult: HRIG (Human Rabies Immune Globulin): 6 vials × 3,022 THB = 18,132 THB ERIG (Equine Rabies Immune Globulin): 4 vials × 774 THB = 3,096 THB These are medicine costs only.

I was bitten by a dog and then later savaged by a kitten. As the kitten forgot its parachute, it used my back as an emergency landing strip—claws deployed. That was long before 'They’re eating the dogs, they’re eating the cats', ever became a thing.

I had the full pre-exposure rabies vaccination back in 2006, and then had two potential exposures in 2008 and 2010. Each time, I received the recommended two post-exposure booster shots. From what I’ve read, and based on WHO and CDC guidelines, as well as advice I’ve had from both a Western and a Thai doctor—the pre-exposure series—especially when followed by proper post-exposure boosters—provides long-term, possibly lifelong, protection. No further boosters are considered necessary unless you're at high occupational risk or immunocompromised. One of the key advantages of being pre-vaccinated is that you don’t need Human Rabies Immune Globulin (HRIG) or Equine Rabies Immune Globulin (ERIG) after an exposure. Both can be expensive, hard to find in some areas, and—as blood products—carry some risk. Rabies is genuinely frightening—because even a minor scratch, if ignored, can be fatal. The virus travels along nerves, and since the vaccine takes several days to trigger an immune response, unvaccinated individuals should receive HRIG or ERIG as soon as possible to stay protected. For anyone spending time in Thailand where rabies is endemic, I’d say the pre-exposure vaccine is well worth having—for both safety and peace of mind.

Obviously, besides being a fact-free, logic-free MAGA, your boasted IQ of 143 still isn’t enough to read your own bar chart. Under Trump, core inflation flatlined at 2.8% for three straight months — exactly what my post said. So thanks for handing over visual proof that you have no idea what you’re talking about.

The falling trend in inflation was already baked in before Trump took office — and core inflation, the real measure for those who actually understand economics, hasn’t budged in the last three months under him. But hey, sorry for posting the truth… facts do have a nasty habit of ruining a good narrative.

Zelenskyy might’ve asked Taco Trump — in front of witnesses — why his two-week ultimatum to Putin to make peace expired last week without a whimper, and why he still hasn’t imposed a single U.S. sanction.

Sure, the EU has a migrant crisis — a problem mainly caused by the US — so let’s not pretend U.S. WMD 1.0 had nothing to do with lighting that fuse. Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Syria — all left in ruins by U.S.-led intervention, all driving waves of refugees into Europe. And now? Trump’s WMD 2.0 — and as always, those who can’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Trump 2.0 meets WMD 2.0—because clearly, the world didn’t suffer enough the first time.

Stopping wars “in one day” is MAGA’s favourite fairy tale. Trump lit the fuse—now he owns the explosion. He could have stopped it from burning by: keeping the UN-backed JCPOA, which capped Iran’s enrichment and cooled regional tensions, pulling the plug on the blank-cheque U.S. support that’s fuelling Israel’s escalation—something he still refuses to do. And the claim that Putin could end the war overnight? Only if he whistles and his Oval Office lapdog comes to heel.

President Putin called this morning to very nicely wish me a Happy Birthday," Trump wrote, adding, "but to more importantly, talk about Iran, a country he knows very well." Evidently Putin told Trump he wants the Iran war to end. He needs all those weapons Iran is using on Israel to attack Ukraine.

Nothing says “America First” like using the Russian flag’s colors to celebrate U.S. Flag Day—at the same time Trump brags about Putin’s sweet birthday call. https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/other/very-nice-trump-gushes-about-putin-after-his-happy-birthday-phone-call/ar-AA1GIykp?cmp_prftch=2

Interesting statistics. When you dig deeper, the reason the U.S. has a lower average IQ than, say, Australia, is because of: Greater income inequality – poorer children start behind and rarely catch up Healthcare gaps – no universal access means many developmental issues go untreated Uneven school funding – local tax-based funding creates wide disparities in school quality, and limited federal support can’t close the gap Higher child poverty – around 1 in 5 kids live below the poverty line, affecting nutrition and learning Cultural divides – anti-science, anti-intellectual attitudes in parts of the U.S. drag education outcomes down And it seems like Trump is doubling down on the very things that dumb down the nation—to maintain his grip on the gullible.

If she wants something that looks the part for real estate clients but is still manageable for a learner, the Yaris Ativ is the best balance. It has the professional look, a large secure boot for signs and folders, and it’s compact enough to drive and park easily—light steering, good visibility, and stable handling. You also get Toyota’s legendary reliability, low maintenance costs, nationwide service support, and strong resale value. It’s the ideal mix of posh, practical, and learner-friendly. The Yaris Cross and Honda HR-V, being taller and larger SUVs, are harder to drive and park—less forgiving for someone still building confidence

I didn’t forget—because it never happened. Trump’s sanctions didn’t stop Iran’s attacks. And Biden didn’t fund them with “Bidenbucks.” Nice try, but rewriting history doesn’t make it true.

Funny how Trump’s suddenly gone quiet. Not a word about Israel’s strike on Iran—despite likely giving it the nod behind closed doors. So much for the “no war president.” When things get messy, he disappears—then reemerges just in time to blame someone else for the disaster he helped set in motion. His self-imposed two-week deadline for Putin to end the Ukraine war came and went without a peep. And for all the tough talk, he still hasn’t imposed a single sanction.

Rubio’s “unilateral” claim is already falling apart. Israeli official to 'Jerusalem Post': 'There was full and complete coordination with the Americans' 'A senior U.S. intelligence official says the U.S. provided real-time reconnaissance support to Israel before, during, and after the ongoing strikes—using secure channels to coordinate every step'. @AvivaKlompas. You help plan the heist, supply the getaway car, and provide the map—and you’re only a bystander? https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-857590 https://x.com/AvivaKlompas/status/1933343192633782764

I watched The Amateur (2025) - IMDb last night and it was a good though not a great movie. I still found it enjoyable and worthwhile.

There’s good and bad in everyone and everything — the Middle Path, Siddhartha circa 500 BCE.

But let’s be honest—though I know that’s asking a lot in your case. The facts of life—America’s legacy of misery. The Spanish Flu — the deadliest pandemic ever recorded, originated on U.S. soil. The Great Depression — the worst financial collapse the modern world had seen, driven by U.S. tariffs and economic arrogance. The Global Financial Crisis — the 21st century’s most catastrophic market collapse, fueled by U.S. greed and deregulation. Donald Trump — the most unpopular U.S. president on the world stage in modern history. Turns out “American exceptionalism” really just means exceptionally catastrophic—for all of us who have to live with the consequences.

Best to see an ophthalmologist, but often a simple maintenance plan—like regular preservative-free artificial tears—can bring relief. I’ve effectively battled dry eye and allergic conjunctivitis for years, maybe I can help: Duration: Has the tearing lasted more than two weeks? Dryness: Do you feel burning, grit or fatigue in the eyes? Allergy: Any itching or seasonal allergy symptoms? Lids: Notice any crusting or redness along the lash line? Environment: How much screen time, and are you often in air-conditioned, windy or very dry spaces? Dry eye can often stem from tear-film breakup due to lipid-layer deficiency from meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).

You nailed the structural imbalance. What hasn’t been mentioned yet is how temporary and conditional this “deal” really is. According to the Wall Street Journal, China’s rare-earth export licenses come with a six-month expiry—meaning Beijing can revoke or slow-walk them at will. That’s not supply chain security; that’s a ticking clock. Also, Trump’s “55% tariffs” boast? WSJ confirms it’s just a rolled-up number from his old tariffs—no new penalties, no fresh leverage. Even a White House official quietly admitted it’s mostly political packaging. And here’s the kicker: the WSJ reports this is basically the same Geneva framework from March 2025, just reheated in London and dressed up for domestic optics. No structural wins, no new concessions from Beijing—just a tactical pause. This isn’t the Art of the Deal—it’s the art of folding and pretending you won. https://www.wsj.com/economy/trade/u-s-and-china-agree-to-get-geneva-pact-back-on-track-695eb5f5 PS: The timing’s no coincidence. Trump’s LA spectacle was meant to distract from the Xi “deal” falling flat—and from another looming humiliation: the quiet failure of his two-week ultimatum to Putin to end the war in Ukraine.

Under the burden-of-proof principle, I have no obligation to disprove your baseless “no ammo” claim. Out of kindness to the less informed, I cited as a source the DoD statutes to support my argument. I’ve already explained it ; I can’t understand it for you! PS: I watch Fox now and then for a laugh—does that cause “brain rot,” or just leave me less informed?
