  1. I can only reiterate"For sure the answer to genuine cause needs to be found ! "
  2. The vertical dive as claimed to be this aircraft leaves no doubt as to the terror involved. For sure the answer to genuine cause needs to be found !
  3. I have a friend based in Europe who has worked for many years in analytical policies and implications on trade strategies. The indications of combined data which involves interpretations of international trade variances versus geopolitical stances in actual terms of economic benefit indicate via multiple models of potential outcome that the "West" in either the concept of USA domination or even the EU as the bastions of current superior influence is in rapid decline. It has become too obvious that the "promise" of generic wealth and egalitarianism is as false as the autocratic imposition of same "promise". The current "crisis" of the Ukrainian/ Russian conflict is one of such models and in the opinion of my friend is the one most predictable as has occurred so far but still open to the terms of resolution. In consideration of expectations short term it is predicted that Russia (Putin) will achieve the basic elements of his demands. The Ukraine will concede under terms of negotiation that avoids "capitulation or surrender" while soothed in sympathetic clouds of NATO applause for providing an acid test of the military capacity of a perceived enemy . In a slightly longer term the NATO members will regret the antagonism it initiated in response to and lose significance and the US will also lose the advantage of the Petro Dollar that more than anything else has provided for it's contrived economic viability. In the shorter term the impact overall on global trade which will cause greater disruptions in basic food distribution will create wider humanitarian crisis than has already been inflicted by callous indifference in real terms by such as the UN ! Day of the Dog is nigh . The presumptuous Dog Owner is about to be bit !
  4. Ephedra wasn't a problem until corporate chemists turned it into the basis of one. I am no pot head. Are you a crack head?
  5. It is very easy to deride the outcome of a scheme that was initiated before the global impact of covid-19. . I look forward to similar exposes' of the apparent folly of investors in desirous international projects intent on extracting profit from what was a perceived market of dispensable excess in income ! If there is no more of an indicator of social economic devolvement than the "tourism " industry versus the refugee crisis then what else need be presented to illustrate the gross collapse of existent human prevalence ? The regret is much less about the social impact than about the individual specific ! ho hum
  6. I can only agree overall with what you have stated. Ganja has been used by many cultures for many reasons for hundreds of generations. Synthetic concoctions have been around for maybe two generations and have already created huge social hazards and permanent psychological/physical destruction.
  7. I never found any form of pain relief that made any realistic difference. The original formula of Sudafed helped little but not something to take repeatedly or long term.
  8. And there is the reality of it ! Any interaction with or between people need be on the basis of social capacity in function socially or in employment. There is a genuine need to legislate against discrimination on the established grounds as do exist in the civilized world (Haha) but when that is extended into claims to positions of employment etc based on perceived gender identity representation then the obvious solution is a freakin robot with zero gender and an clear acrylic casing to obviate any classification on any grounds other than "latest electronic functionary " Look ono and weep human dorks of any colour or affiliation!
  9. In the opposite direction of general political concern wealth will be a factor of consideration well ahead of the faux "humanitarian" issues. If humanitarian concern was ever paramount in any political consideration why do nations continue to starve while they supply the rich?
  10. In which direction ? Actual rather than made public opinion favours a change away from the status quo of authoritarian constriction
  11. Define that assessment please. The same comment could be applied to the question of the color of roofing materials in some cliques of opinion.
  12. Not every... but regardless I would protest the right to objection ! A modification to represent a marque is fraud! Might provide same function but not genuine. People who have bought fraud Mona Lisa's would disagree?
  13. Once upon a time.....I was in a newly created sub Management position where I needed to employ staff. I avoided the minefield of litigation by advertising open positions where applicants would be assessed on personal appeal where all other criteria were equal or less ! Legal opinion could find no problem !lmao
  14. Do you say that as a transposed gender ? I consider myself rigidly straight ! Take the pun if it amuses ! The concept of "we are are born as we are" contradicts the " We are the gender we are(Identify as) and personally I have no objection to either ideology so long as there is no element of deception or attempt to .
  15. All 3 in my local Bangkok Bank Branch are most definitely .....women. Should I ask the male Manager or gay Assistant Manager why?
  16. If actually definable as "migraine" it does not (usually)
  17. I used to suffer cluster headaches from about age 30 which came in unpredictably. There is a distinction between "classic " migraine " and cluster "headache" but which the intensity of I would understand is relative to the opinion of sufferer . But an alternative name for clusters is "Suicide headache" which for more than one has been the route taken to escape the pain that medical science says the brain can not feel ! The medics may be correct but as a sufferer I could argue differently at those moments of intensity. Once diagnosed the brief moment of relief derived from expectations that the wonders of modern medicine would relegate the problem to history was short lived. Concoctions of ergot and caffiene rarely made an impact and when woken in the night by yet another rising of the devilish pain that could and did occur more than once in a night in addition to those in the daytime it left a sense of a vague zombie like functionality. Even when a cluster ceased to produce it's torture there was a "post sufferance" that kept a lingering preparative fear in thought. Add to that the dire warning about not resorting to said medication beyond a certain amount. Refer to ergot poisoning if at all interested! Doctors would nod sympathetically in recognition of educated knowledge of symptoms but it was only after 12 years I came across a Doctor who was a fellow sufferer . He too was living in hope of the Medicinal Holy Grail to combat the problem. And eventually it did in the form of Sumatriptan ! Initially in oral tablet form but soon after in an injectible similar to insulin shots. For me a life changer for those times clusters surfaced. The almost instant reduction of severity and duration was an incredible relief from the trepidation of not knowing either the intensity or long term duration of a cluster might be. In fact (for me) what had been becoming a rise in intensity and frequency of clusters and cluster episodes rapidly decreased . Interestingly the incidence also is said to decrease with age and becomes rare after the age of 60. I had my last cluster at age 62 . It was short and a little different in effect and duration. To this day I keep medication at hand but despite the fact the "use by" date is long gone I would use it ! I just realized I should have mentioned at the start that "Classic Migraine" and "Cluster Headache" are generally gender related. Females tend get the long term intense headache with aversion to light type thing that can last days. Males are more prone to the "Cluster Headache" presentation that in pain terms is generally considered greater and more debillitating in intensity while in effect than the longer lasting insidious "Classic" migraine. Interesting the medications now in use are generally effective for both forms but not always. I should not be but can not help be cynically amused when I hear someone with a hangover headache who declares relief from using paracetamol for their "Migraine" ! If they knew the difference they would be proud of the hangover ! I am aware there are now generics and alternatives to the medication I mentioned. In reference to the quest for triggering factors? Very very interesting the suggestion of weather systems etc and atmospheric pressure. I can attest to the fact that while not necessarily initiating a cluster that driving a vehicle over rapid changes in road elevation, buildups to thunderstorms and aircraft departures were a common feature of onset once a cluster started.
  18. As a teaser to the topic and probably not considered helpful I admit I lean towards the sentiment and humor in this video. https://www.cracked.com/article_31467_if-cryptocurrency-was-honest-video.html
