Virginity: “The mystique and mystery”; Also, the preservation of it.
I am touched by your post, thus technically no longer a virgin. Wish I had saved myself for another.

Should World Leaders and Religious Leaders Be Targets of Assassination
Should is somewhat redundant, they simply are, it comes with the territory. Just as construction workers come with a higher rate of workplace fatalities. If you want to have the power to control the masses then that is the risk you take. I don't want or need to have power over people and I no longer work in construction so I consider myself relatively safe, however not safe from world leaders unfortunately.

When you accidentally wipe out a family in Progressive California
One of the reasons I stand well back from the road as a pedestrian waiting at junctions. With regard to the outcome of his incident seams a ridiculous judgement, lenient due to her age doesn't seam just to me.

Which City is Easier to Get Around
Nonthaburi. Purple line runs all day and half price for us older guys. Never far rom major shopping and facilities and plenty of housing with land. If you're far from the MRT where the houses are cheaper there's any number of motorcycle taxis to ferry you around. Once you're on the main road (Rattanathibet) you'll find a taxi within minutes.

New guy in town
Took me a few years to decide which location and accommodation I would choose here. I would suggest renting first , travel around to the other major ex-pat areas, choose one, move and rent there for a while, see how that suits your budget/lifestyle/personality. Repeat until you find the one that works best for you. Again, it took me years and the wait / process was worth it. I hate to think what my life would have been like if I had made an early decision, it's so far removed from where I ended up.

The BEST comprehensive explanation about enlarge prostate option
Apologies, I have not had that treatment. I am anticipating the next stage of my life requiring some form of medical intervention and trying to be knowledgeable of the options. Occasionally I research the subject and find answers, on occasions I'm confronted by 25 minute videos such as the one in this post leaving me confused. I'm also perplexed by the number of different remedies suggested by sufferers specifically with diet options. The problem is I enjoy coffee and can only think of two foods I wouldn't eat; should I deny myself that enjoyment in favour of a shortened life span?

The BEST comprehensive explanation about enlarge prostate option
My personal experience after radiotherapy for cancer and medication for BPH is retrograde ejaculation. I find it less enjoyable and intense although that may also be age related. I would not consider it to be a great negative in any option, specifically the HOLEP treatment. Supplements and diet is confusing, whenever I read up on it the options, they appear to contradict each other and I end up with the basics...pomegranate and tomato juice.

Making a will.
I'm in a similar position and I have left a note to my partner advising some other details with regards to this. Namely that she will receive correspondence from the pension administrators occasionally to confirm she is still alive herself and also that if she was to get married the pensions would cease. Shame about the UK state pension not being transferable; I believe one of the reasons was due to elderly UK women marrying young Africans and passing on the pension to them. Any one else that isn't married to their Thai wife should check the relationship requirements as the definition of a 'partner' varies; some require the surviving partner to prove that she was reliant on the deceased's income.

Selling a house fully/partly furnished or empty?
I always agreed with the premise when selling a property that many buyers don't see a bedroom unless it has a bed in it. There were even companies in the UK that would rent out furniture to fill a property, no personal items , just expensive main items that made the building feel more homely. Additionally this is the reason large developers with a large number of new properties have a 'show house'. One trick they use is to furnish it with 4/5ths size furniture so the properties appear more spacious.

Emirates Airlines stopover time
If the flight rom BKK is late, they have in the past delayed departure of the UK bound flights. DXB is a massive airport with 3 in line interconnecting terminals. The distance from A to terminal C (thro' B) is huge , however there are trains that shuttle from one to another. I have read somewhere that (nearly) all Emirates flights are now gated at Terminal C so that should help with transfer time. Personally I would not use DXB if I wasn't an Emirates customer; firstly it's one huge shopping mall with the same shops and food outlets repeated every 100 metres , and the real pain is the wonderful smiling welcome you get from security that you have to pass through when you arrive.

Tax-Free Wine Boom in Thailand Spurs Costs and Controversy
That's the equivalent of around 53 baht a bottle. I've just paid 10 times that for a bottle of Evian at a posh restaurant. Does it rot through the container before you get it home? Seriously though, well done.

Joe Biden Diagnosed with Aggressive Cancer
One of only a few times in my life did I achieve a 9 out of 10. I had no idea as I felt 100% fit and had never been advised to have my PSA checked. Yes you would expect the Potus to have been afforded that check, however PSA level is only part of the diagnosis. As for his general health I am 2 years down the road and have all the accompanying side effects of the condition and treatment , however in my opinion and from my own experience he has other health issues. Unless of course as he is 6 years ahead of me the cancer is having that effect on him and I have a similar fate.

Get a survey done first with a recommendation of the work required. Otherwise the work may be overpriced and also not the correct action.

Thailand to Launch Digital Arrival Card to Replace Paper Forms
'....at least 3 days'. So what happens if you only leave for 2 days? And more importantly what happens if you arrive without the TDAC? Will the airline you travel on check you have applied and refuse to fly you if unavailable. This is going to be fun (not) for a few people.
