  1. Question mark: punctuation mark indicating a question, used to express doubt or uncertainty about something.
  2. Why would anyone want to access porn through a Torrent site? Is accessing sites behind a VPN not enough?
  3. Could the so-called kratom tea be just dried up powdered leaves shaken with some orange juice to make it palatable? That's what it tastes like to me.
  4. I fortunately have no acute pain to manage. I take kratom tea once a week when I'm in Thailand just for the hell of it. No more than once a week, at one-week intervals. I don't feel any kratom craving. I'm glad when I realise "hey today is my kratom day", that's all. Of course on other days cannabis may be what keeps my mind off the opiate kratom. So much for cannabis leading to stronger stuff.
  5. No wonder women are on a rampage in the West. If you had "decked" your ex who deserved it, you would have gone to jail even if she started the hitting and was coming at you with a knife, that's what prevailing white knight's double standards like yours have brought about. If anyone or anything, human or animal hit you, you should be entitled to hit back, period.
  6. Striking a man is ok though.
  7. Do you take blood-pressure meds? Because I think there's some incompatibility between theanine and blood-pressure medications.
  8. Try Theanine.
  9. Are SMSs from Australia to Thailand free for the bank? If not that might be the issue. I keep an EU cellular number to which my bank can send free SMSs free of charge.
  10. Kratom is known to produce some stimulating euphoria right after it kicks in. Later on it makes you want to lie down. At 60 baht per bottle I don't think they would bother to add any "other stuff".
  11. Markets where fresh food like vegies and fruit are sold will generally have someone selling kratom "tea" from an ice box. Just ask and they will point you to the general direction where that someone is sitting. It's good to stick to the same provider so you can rely on the brew's strength.
  12. That's bad. However it's all I can do to keep my EU accounts in Thailand. If I moved to Russia I'd keep them no more than a few weeks I guess.
  13. Well, if they moved to Russia, then got all their Canadian bank accounts cancelled because of sanctions, that's hardly Russia's fault is it?
  14. UK banks paying 5%? Wow! EU-banks are already down to 3% most of them.
  15. I used DHL recently to send a hearing aid from Portugal to Belgium. Got delivered the next day.
  16. If I could answer that question with certainty and accuracy I'd be a rich man.
  17. I've found Gaviscon to be more efficient than PPIs. Dunno if it's ok for diabetics since it tastes sweet. Besides, it is mighty expensive. It is based on alginate building a raft on top of stomach content to prevent it from soaring.
  18. Exactly. And the media know that. They print the message they want to convey in the title and the first two paragraphs. Then they print the correcting facts and the balanced assessment right at the end, in order to hedge against any accusation of dishonesty like the one I'm levelling here. Alas, it works only to well.
  19. Happy Water, what a crappy cocktail again! The quality of drugs in this part of the world is on a par with the quality of food IMO.
  20. The Washington Post article was entitled "They take kratom to ease pain, sometimes death follows". Why wasn't it entitled "Kratom is safe unless it involves other drugs", if that's what the article was apparently "clear about"? The article was scare-mongering. People remember titles, not the fine print.
  21. Mayo clinic: "As of April 2018, more than 130 people in 38 states became ill with Salmonella after taking kratom. Salmonella poisoning may be fatal, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has linked more than 35 deaths to Salmonella-tainted kratom." Hardly 4000 deaths in 2 years. Salmonella? How many people got salmonella after eating Tiramisu (or other food containing raw eggs).? The dishonesty of warriors-of-drugs knows no bounds.
  22. It doesn't say so in the article. It says "kratom juice" which I take to mean "kratom tea".
  23. "4100 deaths" because of kratom? Within 2 years? I thought the Washington Post would be above peddling such lies. I assume they got a paycheck from whoever wants kratom to be more banned than it is already.
  24. Never mind, cannabis is the national disaster: 50 people treated this year for anguish after eating edibles that were too strong.
  25. Old story. Tripadvisor ended up publishing a warning about the resort. The sueing backfired spectacularly.
