  1. So that they know the technology they will be competing with and may be fighting against in the future. And because they cannot know everything and need US technology to complement their own.
  2. Her surname is Khantiphok. Say it out loud and think of slang.😁
  3. By extension, I guess this also applies for tobacco smoke and secondhand tobacco smoke ?
  4. My old Peugeot 504. Simple, almost agricultural, but sophisticated mechanically. Body designed by Pininfarina. They had the first outboard rear disc brakes of any car. Jaguar beat them but theirs were inboard...near the diff...and never worked well. Won the South Africa car rally 5 times against Mercedes who had helicopter backup. You still see them in North Africa a lot. Slow-revving pushrod engine, but fantastic suspension. I went everywhere in it. You could sleep in the early ones and I had some of the most comfortable sleeps of my life in it.
  5. The ultimate in cool. A real home for my soul.
  6. Long Q syndrome causes sudden death and is not infrequent
  7. Regarding the murders of those two British tourists, the puncture wounds on their bodies have never been explained, Who was that local guy who wore a shark tooth ring, and who some said had been seen arguing with at least one of them earlier ?
  8. I agree, Common sense shows us that as Mary and Joseph were married, hanky-panky had to be going on. Either that, or they had serious psychological problems.
  9. The Chinese are very sensitive about this, but 'methinks they do protest too much'. When Australia's former Prime Minister called for an enquiry into COVID origins, the Chinese government immediately cancelled BILLIONS of dollars in contracts to buy our produce. The last of these have only just been reinstated.
  10. I second the magnesium glycinate...it calms the mind better than any other form of magnesium. Perhaps you could also Google ADHD and see if you have any of the other symptoms. The hyperactivity is often of the mind. It is a common misconception that it is solely physical. I know because my own mind is overactive due to marginal ADHD.
  11. I once read that in the Aramaic language, in which some of the bible was written (or perhaps simply the language spoken by many in biblical times), the word "virgin" simply meant a woman who had never previously had a baby. Aside from that, there are pre-biblical myths about virgin births. It was certainly not exclusively Jesus.
  12. Actually, Australia does. Norway is not too bad either.
  13. It took me a while after living in Thailand to notice the way Thai people, especially mothers, use mock anger instead of actually getting angry the way Western people do, and I think it is actually a psychologically very sophisticated way of dealing with emotions and unwanted behaviour. But I am sure some Westerners living in Thailand have not even noticed it. The mother raises her voice in a falsetto and pretends to hit the child, but never does so. Thereafter all that is needed is to raise the voice in that falsetto and the child knows they have overstepped the mark, and to rein in their behaviour. I have tried it on adults here in the West and it works, but only if you make it over-exaggerated and obvious that you are play acting. In fact we do it already, but in quite a different way. Does anyone have thoughts or observations on this phenomenon ?
  14. A desperate move and akin to what Putin is doing
