Divisive rhetoric, amplified by social media echo chambers, and easy access to firearms lead to increased tension and the potential for violence. It is what it is in mericah.

Politicizing the revisions as is your want risks undermining trust in statistical agencies, which are already strained by under-funding. The focus on blaming Biden or Trump distracts from structural issues like automation, immigration policy, and global economic pressures that influence job growth across administrations

Is that you using your technical analysis or fundamental analysis tools?

Another rule (#3) is to not post misleading information which you are doing every day of the week and twice on Sundays. Facts for you to learn: Polio Caused Primarily by Toxins (e.g., DDT, Arsenic): This is a myth. Polio is caused by poliovirus, not pesticides. Historical correlations (e.g., DDT use and polio peaks) are coincidental; polio predates DDT, and outbreaks occurred in areas without heavy pesticide exposure. Decline was due to vaccines, not DDT bans (e.g., U.S. cases dropped from 21,000 in 1952 to 61 in 1965 post-vaccination). Toxin theories are dismissed by experts as lacking evidence. Polio Decline as "Statistical Alchemy": While diagnostic changes reduced counts (by ~50–60% in some estimates), the overall eradication (99% global drop since 1988, immunizing 2.5+ billion children) is attributed to vaccines by WHO/CDC. Pre-1955 declines were minor; post-vaccine drops were dramatic and sustained. Eradication as "Impossible Mirage": Overstated. WHO reports wild polio endemic in only two countries in 2025, with no guarantee but feasible progress (e.g., Africa certified wild-polio-free in 2020). Challenges like cVDPV are real, but strategies (e.g., novel OPV2, IPV switch) aim to address them. Lab synthesis doesn't negate eradication; containment protocols exist. Vaccines as "#1 Cause" Without Context: True that cVDPV now dominates cases (as wild virus is rare), but this reflects success against wild polio. The article ignores that OPV prevented millions of cases overall and that NPAFP includes non-polio causes (e.g., enteroviruses like EV-D68). Correlation with OPV doses doesn't prove causation for all NPAFP; some studies suggest other factors like improved surveillance. Conspiracy Narratives: Claims of massive cover-ups, "corporate greed," or Gates using polio for "geopolitical power" are speculative. While GPEI faces criticism for top-down approaches and resource diversion, there's no evidence of deliberate suppression of "poison theory" or that eradication is a "scam." Gates' efforts are praised by many for reducing cases, though valid critiques exist on priorities. Overemphasis on Asymptomatic Infections: Yes, 95%+ are asymptomatic, but the virus is necessary for paralysis; co-factors (e.g., nutrition) play a role, but this doesn't undermine vaccines. The article you linked to mixes valid critiques of vaccine risks and program flaws with debunked **pseudoscience**, potentially **misleading** readers on polio's viral cause and vaccine efficacy. For balanced views, consult WHO/CDC reports. In summary, the article mixes valid critiques of vaccine risks and program flaws with debunked pseudoscience, potentially misleading readers on polio's viral cause and vaccine efficacy. For balanced views, consult WHO/CDC reports, where they don't use pseudoscience but science itself which is "amazing".

Perhaps your TM30 from 'six of seven years ago' is still valid? You only need to update it if you start a new visa in Thailand, or move your main residence afaik. International travel, stops in hotels are temporary and don't affect original TM30.

Why not read the article first which was a state vs state level comparison? In essence, the article is not a deep dive into the complex factors driving crime in individual cities. It is a counter-narrative that uses data to show a discrepancy in where a political figure is focusing his attention, using the broad, easily understood shorthand of "red states" versus "blue states."

Surely when driving overseas an IDP needs to accompany a TDL does it not? A IDP is just an international translation of TDL. Thailand issues IDPs under the 1949 Geneva Convention.

That was not Vance was on about in his disgusting post that is very clear. There in nothing wrong with FDA scientific approvals of drugs as you say. Vances comment was an obvious strategic pivot, using inflammatory language about gender-affirming care that is blatantly untrue and biased to deflect from criticisms of RFK Jr.’s policies in general. Vance comes across as a lower life form than RFK Jnr in this particular debate.

Utter rubbish, anyone with an ounce of sense knows Vances gutter level game here. This was a rhetorical pivot to deflect from the senators’ criticisms of RFK Jr.’s anti-vaccine policies and his firing of CDC director Susan Monarez, among other issues.

I haven't done it myself but I thought other people on this forum in the op's situation could continue using their existing online schedule and they would be approved without need to go in person following a re-entry since the online service does not verify entry dates?

You are referring to the old Microsoft 365 Skype Plan whereas some of us still have legacy Skype credit plans that predated Microsofts 365s coming into existence. The latter credit plans require remaining credit to be used at least every 180 days to remain active. So a few cents every 180 days could mean several years usage still remains. After that I will consider switching to MyTello like you.

You speak as an expert on racial profiling?

So the moral of the story is if in the UK one has a vindictive partner with access to your travel documents, best check directly with the pp office your pp is still valid and they haven't cancelled it for you before splashing out on that Thai holiday. That seems to be how it works in the UK?

It's not gone for everyone. If you had existing credit with no time out still remaining on the old Skype, Teams has a link to Skype to use it all up. Some of us still have years of use left on it!

More likely penile dysmorphic disorder, or small penis syndrome. Often linked to compensatory behaviors where individuals, feeling insecure about their perceived inadequate size, seek to boost their self-esteem or social status through displays of power, wealth, or dominance

Shouldn't that read "In my limited experience dreaming about flying as a passenger in executive jets" or did they once offer private jets out to the field airstrips when the contracts on the oil patch were more lucrative?

The comment seems to frame the judge’s ruling as an overreach by an unelected official? Judge Allison Burroughs, in her ruling, found that the Trump administration’s attempt to freeze $2 billion in research funding for Harvard lacked **legal** grounding and appeared to be an ideological move rather than a justified policy action. Her decision was based on **legal** reasoning, not political activism—judges are tasked with interpreting the law and ensuring government actions align with constitutional principles, not with enforcing the will of the elected government when it oversteps. The term “activist judge” often gets thrown around to suggest bias when people don't like it, but judicial independence is a cornerstone of a democratic system. Judges, whether appointed by Democratic or Republican administrations, are meant to check executive power when it violates legal standards. Burroughs, appointed by Obama, ruled against what she saw as an unlawful freeze, protecting research funding that could impact decades of scientific progress. This isn’t about “running the US” but ensuring the government follows the rule of law. If you’re concerned about unelected judges overriding elected officials, that’s a valid point to explore—it’s a tension built into the Constitution through checks and balances. The judiciary’s role is to protect against overreach, whether from the left or right, not just the left as you see it. If you disagree with the ruling that you call shameful, what specific legal issues do you see with it outside of your political bias? That could help ground the discussion in the case itself rather than broad labels and bs like “extreme left wing.”

Zostavax is only ever one dose I thought. Agree the price for 2 doses does not tally.

Immigration policy is messy, but treating children with dignity shouldn't be partisan. Biden's handling let in a huge influx of kids without enough follow-up. But this specific mess is the Trump admin trying to deport 600+ Guatemalan minors at 3 AM on Labor Day, even with pending cases. A judge stopped it for due process. Kids deserve better from everyone, including the likes of you don't they? Haven't I heard this somewhere before?

That's true, you really need to get those antivirals into your system at the first signal.

Its "insane" due to its ethically and politically contentious nature, perceived as a cover for displacing Palestinians while presenting an overly ambitious and unrealistic vision for Gaza’s transformation.

Easy for you to say, but something lacking here isn't there? Like how?

Don't you take antivirals to reduce the occurrence and speed up healing?

Murica mate, everyone (left, right and center) has their head up the derrieres when it comes to guns.
