  1. There’s not enough time to feel terror and pain at the last moment because death would have already passed before the brain could do the calculations. Because having had a fifty foot fall, can say nothing was felt and had hit the ground before realizing that a possible injury may have incurred, luckily unharmed. Obviously you’ve given this some thought, is it your planned way out by any chance?
  2. It’s safe to assume nothing when it comes to predicting politics in the US. The rest is just hopes and wishes.
  3. No, it just means that some folks on the left had a temporary epiphany of sanity, though that’s all gone now.
  4. It means that if one’s life revolves around winning on an internet discussion board that’s predominantly antisocial, then they’ve already lost. Perhaps some sort of intervention or a rehabilitation program to get them back on track of having a normal social life.
  5. Well if your English were a bit more fluent then you’d understand that the ai you crutched on was reflecting your statement that was cited on my post.
  6. It’s the construct of the site as the operators intend to run the joint.
  7. That’s a derivative of an insecure ego. Why would anyone even care to begin with.
  8. Personally, lay off the white grains, we occasionally cook black rice berry, and occasionally pick up a loaf of Joe’s dark whole grain and toss it in the freezer that lasts a couple three weeks though we’re not big on the starchy stuff being the worse of it is probably spuds in the morning maybe once a week, nothing processed, nothing fried, no processed sugars including pasteurized fruit juices or any sugary foods cooked at high temperatures, pretty much a zero sugar person, no laced food flavorings msg and such, no cooking in high temperature searing oils and meats, yes on the low temperature cooked meats and lots of green stuff, olive is the only oil, the local kad’s are full of great ready to eat veggies. Nori sheets are used for making sushi rolls. Raw nori sheets are nearly impossible to find in the shops around here, have order online.
  9. A tiger shark lurking neath me and my board while waiting for the next wave at Banyans.
  10. Sure other factors may have, though the only anomaly was the raw food diet and maintaining a clean diet afterwards. No, and have no plans to either. It’s a complete non issue anymore. Raw diet just takes a little discipline and getting the wife on board. Grow sprouts (broccoli sprouts are the best) and raw nori sheets with veggies such as avocado, tomato cucumber etc and make nori veggie rolls. Juice dark leafy greens and other vegetables. Stay off of anything that has been cooked, coffee soy sauce and all. After a couple weeks you’ll be able to put out a house fire with that new hose and sleep undisturbed like a stack of bricks.
  11. Have personally dealt with BPH using saw palmetto which did help, though the most powerful medicine that put it behind me was going on a 100% raw food diet for a few weeks which means nothing ingested that has been cooked and then maintaining a clean diet afterwards. Also have used cat’s claw and red reishi.
  12. Serenoa repens had been used for hundreds, possibly thousands of years by the indigenous people of southeast US, Florida. Over such a long period of time, one would think that they would figure out that there’s no benefit to using serenoa repens and move on if it didn’t therapeutic results, the same with many other ancient remedies that have the propensity to carve into the pharmaceutical industries profits of which who are pretty much the gatekeepers that throttle information with funding studies and influence over the science journals and universities who win in the end because they have the funds and the media to influence. Again, a much larger picture to this story. Modern medicine draws heavily from traditional medicine, particularly through the discovery and adaptation of natural compounds that have been used in traditional remedies for thousands of years. Thousands of years of research, scientific research of trial and error, that’s right, the tribes medicine man way back when a thousand years ago was a scientist taught from previous generations and who taught the next generation. Imagine what modern medicine would be like today without the eons of research already established.
  13. Thanks for pointing that out and contrasting the power and influence of mega corporations have and the disparity it’s imposed on traditional medicine of which sales are minuscule in comparison of pharmaceutical sales which were ~$630b+ in the US and ~$1.6t+ globally.
  14. For the wave125, Sangchai Panich on Kaeonawarat.
  15. It’s common knowledge that pharmaceutical lobbyists influence the NIH are industry trade groups and major drug companies that target Congress, which controls NIH’s annual appropriations (totaling around $47 billion in FY2025), as well as the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which oversees NIH. These entities lobby to shape research funding priorities, often favoring areas aligned with their commercial interests, such as specific disease research or innovation incentives. Though direct lobbying of NIH itself is limited due to its focus on merit-based grants, indirect influence occurs through congressional earmarks, budget advocacy, and funding for patient/disease advocacy groups that push for targeted NIH allocations. Studies estimate that such lobbying can affect 3-15% of NIH’s new spending on rare diseases or advocated areas. https://www.stern.nyu.edu/experience-stern/news-events/new-research-finds-special-interest-lobbying-does-influence-nih-research-funding There’s a much larger picture here that should be considered. Folks who practice traditional medicine in the US are constantly under attack due to government influence by pharma, though traditional medicine has been practiced successfully for thousands of years, it’s only been getting a bad rap in recent history due to the influence of mega stock holders such as Vanguard Group, BlackRock, and State Street Corp. These firms manage trillions in assets through index funds, ETFs, and mutual funds on behalf of millions of individual and institutional investors, they don't "own" the shares in a controlling sense but hold and vote them as fiduciaries. They frequently rank as the top 1–3 shareholders across most S&P 500 companies, including those in food and pharma sectors. So to somehow believe that they don’t have influence on the cycle of sickness in the US would be to either be in ignorance of or to condone the health problems that they have helped create and are by far partially responsible for.
  16. The worst and most misbehaved drivers in the north are from bkk.
  17. It’s a can of W.J. Clinton worms that the left seems to have conveniently forgotten about.
  18. The left has gone completely and irrationally mad, there’s no point debating them any further and all that’s left is whacking the left’s goofy piñata and exposing what they’re made of. That’s it, it’s all what’s left.
  19. Obviously no. Though the left knows this fact and out of complete childishness and pretending they are too cowardly to cite biological reality, lawyers and judges refusing to define obvious biological facts from their preferred delusional fictions to appease their dumb down audiences. We are indeed living in the era of deliberate stupidity.
