Omron is careful in protecting its brand integrity. The serial number and model is typically on a sticker that is affixed to the machine. Either there was an assembly error and the sticker was not applied, or your suspicion is correct. Omron may have changed format and stamped the information directly to the machine (doubtful), but OMRON says on its website it uses a sticker. Locate the serial number on both the original packaging and the rating label on the bottom of the device. Model Number: Verify the model number (e.g., MD300C2) on the device and packaging against Omron's official website or customer support information. Lazada is an Authorized Retailer. If you have doubts about the product's authenticity, contact Omron customer support directly. https://www.omronhealthcare-ap.com/th/customer-care

In Italy, the pizza dough base is thin and light. The "pie" is constructed to allow the ingredient flavours to be appreciated. Pizza Hut Thailand is distinguished by its oil run off and overbearing saltiness. Pizza Company has improved over the years, but I still use paper towels to soak up the oil and grease and add my own chopped bell pepper to supplement the miserly portions in the product (despite ordering double serving of peppers). I have a Pizza Company item once a year. The excess oil reflects the lower quality of processed cheese product and processed "meat" used. We have been programmed to accept high sodium, high fat content.

I'd say it makes you fortunate, and/or lucky, and/or the envy of many people. May you enjoy many more years of happiness and good health.

I genuinely believe that most are older age group , age 60+. When I first arrived as a young visitor, there were was still a vibrant expat community of people working for foreign based companies like Ford, Toyota. Deloitte, Siemens etc. Those people were in their mid 30's to 40's. 25-35 years later they are now in their 60's 70's or older if still here. I think the shift away from foreign managers expert came at the end of the 1990's. Companies, scaled back. Even the hotels have reduced the number of foreign employees. Maybe a chef or a manager, or F&B person, but the large numbers of Thais who had gone to the Gulf and returned to Thailand after some time, brought back a wealth of skill and knowledge such that the hospitality sector could source internally. Foreign operated small business go through so many hassles now, that it just isn't worth the effort. The labour issues, the shakedowns, the market swings, all make the operating environment much more difficult than it was 25 years ago. Yes, there were old hands 20+ years ago, but I believe Covid and the natural aging process changed it such that the generation of old timers is mostly gone, and those who are left either are returning to their homelands for healthcare, or are simply dying off. When I lived in patong, I could recognize the foreign residents owned businesses and foreign residents as they were everywhere. Many of the favourite shops/restaurants have sold off or closed. My condo, which used to be filled with so many westerners, has had a visit from the grim reaper. The old timers were replaced by Russian and Chinese absentee unit holders who rent them out to countrymen.

Multiple parties of Israel's left including the centrist opposition party agreed to support the government on a ceasefire deal.One opposition party has 24 seats. Smotrich's cult party holds 7 seats. The real reason for his group's actions is that they want the government to ignore the Israeli supreme court's ruling that the religious zealots must do military or community service. Smotrich is of the view that bible study is more important and that his followers should not have to serve like every other Israeli. It does not matter what Smotrich does now, because parliament is in recess for at least 3 months, maybe 5 if netanyahu delays a recall. By that time, Netanyahu will find another 4 leaf clover to delay the inevitable.

Looks like you are an angry by product of the failed East German state. Are you enjoying the millions of Syrian and Afghanis who will not integrate into German society? Their presence in Germany has nothing to do with Israel. Yes the lower house passed a toothless resolution intended to address the large volume of hate speech and violence coming from the muslim refugee, asylum seekers and economic migrant community. In addition to their primitive culture, they have brought their ingrained sectarian hate and are implicated in multiple violent activities in their host nation. The violent attacks and hateful rallies only gained prominence when these people arrived in Germany. I was recently in Frankfurt. There was a large rally populated by mostly muslim and a small number of Germans who looked like they don't wash regularly. I saw many of the crowd in their hijabs and keffiyahs. They were protesting something, and based upon the banners and placards seemed to relate to Israel. The Germans walking by didn't seem to be too supportive. The police were rather nice about it too. I find that the German police are quite friendly. I have only been questioned once by German police and that was on my arrival in Berlin from Bangkok 20 years ago. They asked if I was carrying drugs. I laughed. They smiled and walked away. Probably, looking for my reaction. They had moustaches. Why is it so many cops have moustaches? What was your previous identity on AN?

I am surprised that you object to the data provided by the "Migration Control" group. They are critical of Israel's treatment of 30,000 Eritrean and Sudanese asylum seekers, which should give them credibility from your perspective, should it not?

Where Does the CDC's Pervasive Dishonesty Come From? Your disturbed psyche that sees a sinister conspiracy around every corner, and under ever bed.

The protestors are often funded by outside entities that wish to destabilize the UK. Much of the information they rely on is fabricated or embellished and disseminated by foreign agents and non residents. My comments in no way excuses the deplorable actions of the UK government, nor minimizes the crisis. The biggest failure is the refusal to be open and honest about what they are doing. If the government (both present and past) had been transparent , much of the problem could be better managed. The people of the UK also have to accept responsibility for the mess. They refused to allow the government to deport people. It was UK citizens who disrupted deportation flights and it was UK citizens who interfered with interdiction efforts. Tough measures are required and the people have to accept that. Everyone has a sob story. The violent criminals always have a humanitarian grounds with which to stay. It has to stop.

Of course you are. The newly minted identity offered a revisionist history that agreed with your personal bias. It's as if the ottoman Empire never existed, and the importation of Arab workers to build the Suez canal did not occur either and Arabs did not migrate from the Arabian peninsula.

Seems to me you have one position when it comes to Israel and another for Muslim countries. There is no genocide in Gaza. If there were, the numbers of dead non combants would exceed that which we see in Yemen 300,000+, Darfur 300,000+, Syria 700,000+. The total number of dead spat out by Hamas includes combatant armed militants, logistics and supply personnel and other members of the Gazan campaign against Israel. Yes, there are civilian casualties. That is a byproduct of war. However, there is no Israeli organized campaign of execution of the occupants of Gaza. Your excuse for ignoring the actual genocide in muslim countries is invalid. The real reason you are so emotional is that you hate Israel. That's ok. Many people do. Why not just be honest and say that? Why are you silent on the ceasefire agreement that has been with the Hama rulers since March? It gave Hamas much of what it demanded. You blame the ongoing war on Israel, but there is a reason why the Arabs have lost patience with Gaza, and that is because Hamas and others want the war to continue. They have nothing left to lose now and will hold on until they are killed off. Egypt could easily open its border. Why are the arab countries refusing to take in wounded casualties? Aside from the small numbers used for PR purposes, the wealthy arab countries find reasons to decline to take wounded. How has Israel undermined your freedom of speech? You are plastering this forum with your propaganda unimpeded.

Serious Question: Do westerners still pay sinsod? Has anyone actually witnessed this, and know for a fact, not hearsay, or pub gossip?

On any given day, 75-80% of Chinese airspace is limited to Chinese military aircraft. Of the 25-30% of airspace available to civilian aircraft, foreign airlines are restricted to an even smaller airspace, and then only along set air corridors. This makes alternative flight routing and diversions very difficult. If a Swiss aircraft flying TATL between Zurich and Chicago runs into problems off the coast of Canada or the USA, the ATC will be quick to assist, starting with Gander, handing off to other Canadian or US ATC centers seamlessly and finding the best diversion airport, with the primary concern being to get the aircraft down as fast and safely possible, whether it be in St John's, or Halifax or Bangor. Not so in China. ATC, first tries to discourage a diversion, and then if there is a diversion, it must be to a preapproved alternate airport, and then only if the change is approved. Aircraft don't have the time to wait, and need immediate assistance, and the Chinese approach is well known and documented. A Google search will give you the list of NOTAMS and flight restrictions along much of the popular Chinese flight routes. Some of these flight restrictions are security driven, but there is a strong sentiment that it is intentional, to keep foreign airlines out of China. Still in disbelief? Have a look at the flight restrictions that apply specifically to foreign aircraft on any given day. You can input your search parameters on the ICAO listing.

So fervent. And yet, there is a real genocide ongoing in Darfur, and you say and do notthinbg. Why is that? Why so quiet on the sectarian violence in Syria as the arab Sunni affiliated clans try and kill off Druze and drive out the remaining Christians and Alawites. Hundreds have died in the past week, and not a word from you. Can we not get a wagging finger?

When in doubt blame Israel and add the numbers to the total casualty count and present it as caused by Israel.

The Thai Air Asia AirBus 320's are fitted with CFM International's CFM56-5B engines.They are described as one of the most reliable engines in service. The big risk from hail is "flame out". After a few serious incidents early in the engine's model life, the engine design was modified so that it was more difficult for hail to be sucked into the engine. However, the emphasis for most airlines is on hail storm avoidance. In most countries the aircraft would have been diverted to an alternative airport. In China, foreign aircraft are restricted to specific air corridors and air controllers are reluctant to divert foreign aircraft to a different airport.

Humans are no longer running naked through the savannah in need of protecting their penises are they? Be grateful your penis is not like many animals as you would not be able to have the type of sex lives one reads about on the internet. Many land animals have bones in their penis. It can interfere with some of the positions the old codgers of Thailand are known for. Be grateful that you do not have a dog's format otherwise you would be unable to remove it for quite some from the target destination and the spines would interfere with self pleasure. You could be like a monitor lizard and have a hemipene. It doesn't have a cover because it keeps it inside its body. You could be like a bird and have a cloacea and smear your ejaculate on your partner. BTW, your logic doesn't hold since humans have extra molars (wisdom teeth) and have them removed,and many people have their appendix removed. It was a vital organ at one time helping digest the raw plant and animal substances humans ingested. The fact is that these people with their false claims are mentally ill. They are ignorant, uneducated and marginalized. Inundating forums with nonsensical claims gives them an outlet. They are losers in every way.

Let's stay focused. You write Bull<deleted>, which means that you do not accept that the Gazan casualties are comprised of military and associated personnel. You have no interest in acknowledging that reality. Instead you have created another new identity with which to bombard the forums with your pro-Hamas propaganda. Gaza was its own entity. It was Hamas that slaughtered the Fatah personnel and it was Hamas that has refused to hold an open election. It wasn't Israel firing missiles into Gaza. It was Hamas that fired missiles into israel everyday and that did not respect a ceasefire agreement that was in place. There is no Apartheid. You obviously do not understand what Apartheid means. Israeli Arabs have full rights. Arabs who are not Israeli and do not accept the state of Israel, and who consider themselves under the control of the PLA or Hamas governments and who live in their self governed zones are not israelis and cannot expect, nor demand the right to vote in Israel. The reason why Gazans and PLA residents are not allowed free access into greater Israel is because they are not citizens of Israel, and because of their past history of terrorism. Your demand is the same as demanding free access to Iraq for Iranians, or Free access to Germany for Syrians.

But it isn't under IDF control as long as the tunnels exist and crisscross the territory allowing Gazan military to continue to operate, and as long as hostages are held.

There are no "old hands". Most AN members were old when they arrived and after a few years were ready to die. If I look at the members listing from when I first started to read the forums, 80%+ are either dead or were forced to move back to their homelands. I can think of multiple members who are long dead. The CM forum had a nice in memoriam page. That's where you can find the old hands.

Why does a russian toady have any interest in the US public broadcasting system?

The federal funding is more critical for smaller market stations. Large market stations like Boston or New York can raise 85% or more of the budget from the public and corporations. Unfortunately, rural stations need the government grants. These are the radio stations that put out the tornado warnings, the farm reports and detailed information on water levels, drought conditions etc. The federal funds are used for content development, community services, and for providing service in markets that the private sector would otherwise ignore. There has been a reduction in local news and weather reporting with a centralization of broadcasting into super stations with pre-set programming often originating from a large urban area. These urban mega stations do not sent out the rural storm watch warnings, nor are they integrated with local civil defense networks. As I wrote, it will be the rural Republican towns and counties who suffer. Once those people in Alaska, Iowa, Kansas, Wyoming, Montana etc. start to see the impact, you can bet they will complain.

No. Don't confuse short sighted, petty and stupid behavior for fascism. It is just ignorance, from the type of people who do not understand why there is a need for libraries or museums.

PBS is not state controlled. It is the Public Broadcasting Network and has a diverse and apolitical board of directors.

Colbert's show was unprofitable. The revenues did not cover the costs of the show, and this was no secret. The cutbacks were expected in 2023 after the other CBS evening shows were cutback. James Corden's show ended in 2023. There is no conspiracy. No one is watching late night TV the way they did back in the 1970's when it was the only option. NPR and PBS funding reduction is completely different than the commercial network cutbacks. It is a bad decision and rural USA will soon make its sentiments felt. Local PBS stations in the rural USA have a strong bond with their communities and it will not go over even in Republican districts. The cutbacks are the reflection of big city MAGA people. This old House, Antiques Road Show, Masterpiece Theater, Frontline, Washington Weekly, Local farm reports and agricultural specials and other shows are very popular and are funded by some large Republican contributors who do not support this reduction. I expect that funding will be restored in a year or two.
