As one ages, and if one continues to smoke tobacco products, the inhalation of CO can cause even more noticeable loss of energy by displacing oxygen in the bloodstream, than for younger smokers...IMHO. CO binds very strongly, and more strongly, to hemoglobin than O2 Therefore, even if one is not worried by adverse long-term health effects of smoking, just the increased oxygen level in the bloodstream, when not inhaling carbon-monoxide, provides great benefits. https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Mitochondrial-effects-of-CO-poisoning-Under-normal-conditions-hemoglobin-Hb-binds_fig3_349119811 This is why it is NEVER too late to stop smoking. There are amazing benefits...just 3 days after puffing on the last coffin nail. NOTE: As everybody knows.... The Mitochondria is the Power-House of the cell..... (haha....yet true)

Good analysis. You have identified the problem with this governance.

You mean, we will go full boar with Kamala in order to beat that hog, Trump?

Please share links to your sources.

OK. Fine. And, I am merely pointing out that such behavior is considered acceptable in some cultures.

Definitely, the Elite Visa could have a purpose for me. I would consider the Elite if the price were lowered very significantly. Definitely I would. Then, there would be a good purpose which would motivate me to buy.

You stated: "But it isn't considered normal by our standards." I was just embellishing upon it, and clarifying it, a bit. We do not know what your standards might be. And, this is really all about culture. I have no idea concerning the culture in which you were immersed as a youth. And so, I have no idea what culturally-instilled standards you might be referring to.

Yes. The Salad Woman steps forward. One step forward. 10-steps backward for Mankind.

Here is a perfect example of being unfit for the job: Apparently, Biden was not fit enough to make an address on Sunday. So, he did the tweet. Similarly, if there had been a world crises on Sunday, he would have addressed the crises using a second tweet. This is no way to run a government.

Correction: It is not considered normal in some cultures. In India, taking a carp, anywhere, is part of the present-day, and historical, culture in that land. I am not saying that this is wrong. It's only a matter of preference, which culture you prefer.

Well, if he has died from Covid19, then someone must say so. If he is unfit, then there are procedures that must be followed...ASAP. This is worse than the world wondering what has happened to Xi, or Putin, every time they disappear.

This is the ingredient that is important. The other ingredients are not necessary. This is well-known among gastro docs.

You are correct. Biden, or some proxy, has only made a tweet. This is not the way we do it in American government. If Biden truly wishes to resign from the 2024 Prez campaign, then he should say so. And, he should say so himself, in front of the camera, in a public address to the nation, Just as all presidents have done in the past. Until we see Biden voice the words, before camera, then it is entirely possible for Biden to be back in the race, Monday, NYC time. I am fully expecting it, in fact.

I, for one, do not care about a Biden Endorsement for Harris. In my view, this is just Sour Grapes. You see, Biden realizes, full well, that the Salad Woman is a disaster. Therefore, before withdrawing from the election, he Formally Endorsed the Salad Woman as his final act of Retribution. "If I can't run for Prez in 2024, then Nobody will!" he said. Yes, the Salad Woman is the Nobody who will run in 2024. Trump will be Re-Elected.... And, Everybody will live happily, ever after. So, it's Nobody against Everybody, it seems. And, Everybody despises Nobody, too.

Culture is so important in matters like this: When I grew up, we spent our summers at our summer house in New England. The beaches then were pristine. Even today, the beaches in and around Old Black Point are still pristine. I would say that it's a cultural thing, this new idea of prioritizing cleanliness when bathing. I am not one to say that all cultures are somehow EQUAL. That would be PC Idiocy. Some cultures are better for others, such as the Indians. And, other cultures are better for me and the Chinese. This is why I prefer the cultures found in places like New England and China, Japan, and other parts of East Asia. Also, I like the culture here in Chiang Mai. I guess I will never go to India. They don't need no Farang like me in India, ....maybe These days, I feel just so very glad that I left the USA before rampant emigration to the USA destroyed the country I loved. So now? America has already been transformed beyond my recognition, and beyond redemption. Therefore, let the immigrants have it. I love living in Chiang Mai. I will be fine in East Asia and in SE Asia for the rest of my life. Some day, All This will End.... I doubt he was referring to the so-called culture war, when he said, Someday this war's gonna end..... Foam is Fun! They are laughing and smiling... What a culture.

Yes. Correct. The capitalization, which was intentional on my part, signifies that this part of the headline does NOT refer to a generic cup of java.

Sometimes, ambiguity is beneficial. However, there is no ambiguity in the body of the originally posted Topic.

She needs a good dentist more than she needs a run for election. Until then, I suggest her wearing a face mask in public.

First began learning spoken and written Chinese (Mandarin of course) in 1972. Others, at the time, were choosing German for their uni language requirement. Intensive Chinese course: 9 hours per week, on top of one's other course load. It was fun. We learned over 2500 Chinese characters, ideographs, the first two semesters. This felt a bit challenging, at the time. I have also had fun with Chinese Studies at a uni in China, in more recent times. I enjoy the language. I enjoy interacting with Chinese people, too. So, I do not fear the Chinese.

Sort of like the Wizard of Oz. Just hide behind X, and no need for transparency. There is now no accountability necessary of the rulers, to those ruled. Why bother to hold elections, at all, then?

I am OK with the Chinese taking over, even more than they have already taken over, during the past centuries. I prefer Chinese women with at least a PhD, From some Ivy League university. There are a few nice Chinese women here, already. I have not yet met them, but I interact with them via the internet. I prefer the ones who don't speak English. And, it's not so easy to find a Harvard grad who speaks only limited English. But, it's not so hard, either.

Has Biden been told about his Twitter Message, posted today, stating that he will not run? LBJ appeared on television. Biden withdraws on Twitter? Seems a bit strange....

So then.... It's the old Coat-Tails allusion, is it? Time has fallen so very far since the 1960s, and the decades preceding.

It seems IMPOSSIBLE for the Democrats to make good decisions, these days. Biden's withdrawal is one first step in the RIGHT direction. But, then.... They take 10 STEPS back, in the WRONG DIRECTION, by going with The Salad Woman. What? Do they have a Death Wish, or something? Or, are they just stupid, through and through....

This is why culture is so important.
