Dental care (cavity): Thailand, Vietnam or Korea?
Paradise Pete replied to anotherfarangishere's topic in Health and Medicine
Does 4K include the clinic fine? -
The first generation statins, such as lovastatin, came from red yeast rice. Fourth generation statins, such as rosuvastatin, are much better. High LDL has a large genetic component. Some people will never have high amounts of LDL no matter what, and some people will have high LDL even with proper diet and rigorous exercise. For them, statins or other meds are life-changers. There is no one-size-fits-all answer like those found in online forums. A cardiologist will work to find a proper solution for their individual patients. If you're in the US, find one who's board-certified. If your LDL is high the first step is to get it under control, often through medication, and then focus on diet and exercise. Also, the known best diet for long-term cardiovascular health is now well established. Thousands of papers have been published in the last 10 years. Eat fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, legumes, fish and seafood. Limit saturated fats. If you regularly eat those, you can also enjoy (in moderation) whatever else you like to eat. Ignore the gym-bros who promote things like the carnivore diet.

Replacement Apple batteries, oem or generic?
Paradise Pete replied to up2you2's topic in Apple Products
Of premium phones, Apple's worldwide marketshare is 62%. Second is Samsung, with 22%. https://www.huaweicentral.com/huawei-ranks-third-while-apple-tops-in-q2-2024-global-premium-phone-market/ -
Prescription medication for these things has been throughly tested and is relatively inexpensive. Production is tightly regulated and the dosage of the active ingredient carefully controlled. None of these things are true for supplements. The corporate side of Big Pharma is evil to be sure, but these drugs work. Diet and exercise is great, and of course a good idea in general, but when that's not enough the medication is the answer.

iPhones are difficult to service. If something goes wrong Apple will deal with it. If you go to a third party and something goes wrong you might be stuck with it. Batteries are not outrageously priced. Considering the risk I personally would only let Apple do it. -
It's spelled whiner. He's the greatest ever at that.

Here ya go. A "collapse" being described as a train wreck. Bonus image: Trump's stock. If Trump loses the election it becomes essentially worthless. Here's this morning's trading - that's gotta sting.

They used that specific word on air, along with other similar phrases. Surely they'll backpedal today, but that's exactly what was said. Even ex-Foxer Bill O'Reilly was shaking his head and criticizing his "obsession with the eating dog and cats" malarky.

Even Fox News said it was a train wreck. So they disagree with you, for one.

I don't know what rate they use, as I've never done it. I've always thought the same as you, that they would squeeze me on the rate. But looking at the links posted earlier, those were actually slightly better than Wise. If those are the rates I'd actually get I can't say until I try it. I'm pretty happy with Wise overall, and the money hits in seconds. So no trip to the bank. That's worth a few bucks right there.

Did they return the money to Mexico?

Trump Attempts to Delay Sentencing in Hush Money Case
Paradise Pete replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Trump says the sentencing is too close to the election. He neglects to mention that it was delayed until now at his request. Does that mean Trump's guilty of election interface? Again, I mean. -
Generally speaking, we Americans are baffled by the apostrophe. 😀

I took it to mean that's how the law is worded. 🤷🏻♂️ -

What a way to, uh, go. -
British man arrested for operating illegal beauty clinic
Paradise Pete replied to webfact's topic in Koh Samui News
I wouldn't trust him because he's stupid enough to conduct an ongoing enterprise he was certain to be arrested for. -

Really. What was she wearing? Maybe she was asking for it. 🙄
