Those two guys in white shirts have never done a hard day's physical work in their lives.

Now there is a fourth, though I think it is up the coast a bit. I reckon sharks are more hungry as the place gets more over-fished and stocks depleted.

Was it Blackadder, or Johnny English ?

Wow ! Lived to 117 years old. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melchora_Aquino

That 'determined yet sincere' look on Trump's face is quite amusing, but not as much as the 'noble' look he affects.

"51.2 tons of waste, equivalent to 22 truckloads". So far. For the whole of Manila there would be 5 or10 times that.

Goes to show how a smallish group of people can account for a huge percentage of the crime in an area

I don't understand these numbers. They can't be for the whole of Britain....a country of at least 65 million.

I have been in a number of public toilets in Bangkok which had no soap, and I was always worried about germs remaining on my hands which would inevitably spread to other areas and give me hepatitis A. Or just diarrhea. And I am sure many males here have experienced their penis brushing the porcelain in front, underneath the seat. There is no real reason another person's fluids could not give one some kind of disease, though I am not sure about specifically which one.

The 30,000 is because the family's water buffalo need dental crowns and root canal treatment.

Capitalism does not rely on a large population, so much as growth. A large population is the result of growth. Specifically, it is growth economics that is to blame However I'm not sure that can be separated from capitalism.

There are at least 150 genes associated with autism, and I have no doubt that it is both genetic and environmental. About many other conditions they say that "genes load the gun, and environment pulls the trigger". The actor Robert De Niro (who is no fool, by any means) has an autistic son, and he is adamant that the kid was perfectly normal until he got vaccinated.

"They also criticized Mr. Trump for linking the tariffs to the fentanyl crisis, accusing him of using the issue as political leverage". Much as I dislike Trump, I agree with that move. Fentanyl and meth are real scourges. Possibly the only move of his I agree with.

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.

Her surname is Khantiphok. Say it out loud and think of slang.😁

By extension, I guess this also applies for tobacco smoke and secondhand tobacco smoke ?

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.

Many of the aforementioned warriors are most likely neurodiverse. In other words, on the autism spectrum, with few social skills, and co-existent ADHD.

The ultimate in cool. A real home for my soul.

Long Q syndrome causes sudden death and is not infrequent

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 ?

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.

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.

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.

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.
