Just watched this great movie! As usual for movies of sci fi genre it is highly under-rated! If you appreciate a good sci fi movie you will not be disappointed! PS Don't watch the trailer as it would be a spoiler!

I was there in 1999 and there was raw sewage bubbling out of the ground from the hotels between Ton Sai and Loh Dalum beaches. I wonder what it is like now?

Amen! Where else but in the US could any God or Constitutional Amendment legitimise this? AR-15s Were Made to Explode Human Bodies. In Uvalde, the Bodies Belonged to Children. "Parents awaiting word on their kids were asked by police to provide DNA samples to help identify the children". 'Viet Cong fighters hit with the weapon were frequently decapitated and dismembered, many looking as though they had “exploded.” A field report documented how an AR-15 had blown up a man’s head and turned another’s torso into “one big hole.”' AR-15s Were Made to Explode Human Bodies (theintercept.com)

You said I would be "wrong". Then you said "while not a 100% correlation, muscular strength and health go hand in hand. I don't mean body builder muscles". Interesting! With respect, I could ask you would I still be "wrong", if the OP or myself meant "100% correlation" and "body builder muscles" but I won't. Please refer to my previous post. But thank you for the comments!

I thank everyone for their comments on my post. But with respect, I am only being the "devils advocate" here. And I have not any position on the subject or "any skin in the game". I was only asking the OP if he could support his hypothesis. Perhaps you could just forget I posted and leave it at that.

If the OP really meant BMI, happiness or muscle strength perhaps we should let the OP support his hypothesis with his yet to happen argument and evidence. The onus, under the tenets of the burden of proof, is his otherwise "what may be asserted without evidence, may be dismissed without evidence." Hitchens's Razor. Burden of proof - Wikipedia

If he meant BMI is a good indicator of health he might have said it! Yet his post would ignore the comparative healthiness of say, the slim flexible non-muscular athletes et alia .

For the fans of The Bear, Season Two is back in June 2023.

"The healthiest people are muscular". Do you have anything to support that hypothesis. I would suggest that lacking any evidence, physique or body shape might not neccessarily have a direct correlation with the measure of health..

If you have not watched Riley Keough in this TV series, you might find it as another good experience!

My CT PET Gallium-68 PSMA scan in Adelaide was only AUD300 as an outpatient. This was a half price special from a new clinic trying to attract customers.

Yes I watched it, I thought an average movie made worse by no ending.

Yes TBH I agree! Another more recent study by the same author goes into the subject a bit deeper. Injustice Without Evidence "Conspiracy theories are widespread and have a profound impact on society. The present contribution proposes that conspiracy theories are explanatory narratives that necessarily contain justice judgments, as they include attributions of blame and accusations of unethical or criminal conduct. Conspiratorial narratives also are mental simulations, however, and may elicit genuine feelings of injustice also without evidence of actual malpractice". Injustice Without Evidence: The Unique Role of Conspiracy Theories in Social Justice Research | SpringerLink

Only going on the behaviour of Rupert's other enterprises I would suggest Murdoch and "an excellent job of investigative reporting'' may be mutually exclusive but I don't have any experience with WSJ to comment any further.

Evidently, there is some direct correlation between belief in conspiracy theories and educational level. Why education predicts decreased belief in conspiracy theories. (apa.org)

I was 45 km out so you are much closer to facilities than I was. I had some western friends who would live there only 50% of the time and that seemed to work out. One thing that I found was the medical facilities in Amnat were lacking compared to say Ubon or Khon Kaen. Depending on your health and age this may be a necessary consideration. But as they say different strokes..... One thing I noticed in your OP was that you intended to Osmosis filter all your house water. Depending on the bore water condition this may be overkill and unnecessary unless you have analysis of it. I found drinking water from 20litre bottles seemed to be fine for me.

I lived in Amnat about 15 years ago, and built a house in a rice field a couple of kms from the mooban with my closest neighbour about 500m away. It was my first year living in Thailand and it was a good experience and I enjoyed the life for about a year or so. I found the lack of nearby facilities eventually got to me and eventually moved to a busier coastal area which I found suited me more. So good luck with your venture! Curious what part of Amnat will you be living in, I was near Lue Amnat..

Interesting detailed article on court proceedings. A prosecutor previews the case..... "The defendant, Donald J. Trump, falsified New York business records in order to conceal an illegal conspiracy to undermine the integrity of the 2016 presidential election and other violations of election laws". What It Was Like Inside the Courtroom During Trump’s Arraignment - The New York Times (archive.md)

Trump's 32 year old Ex Mexican airline bucket-of-bolts taxation rort aka Trump Force One is definitely a flight risk. Yes interestingly, the same one he owned when the "man of the people" passed a 100% bonus depreciation tax law in 2017 for needy private jet owners.

Obviously, all those who have not drank from the poisoned chalice of Trump Kool-Aid are in an alternate reality to you. Must be the only time I have ever agreed with anything you have said.

This explores Trump's playbook into why he may be ignoring the Judge's warning and why he is still attacking the judge and family,

Yet "the crowd was small, by the standards of New York City protests, which routinely draw thousands". Are you getting confused between "debacle" and spectacle? Trump's surrender at courthouse creates New York spectacle | AP News

I already qualified my definition , not a tourist trap. "A tourist trap is an establishment (or group of establishments) that has been created or re-purposed with the aim of attracting tourists and their money. Tourist traps will typically provide overpriced services, entertainment, food, souvenirs and other products for tourists to purchase". Tourist trap - Wikipedia
