The Last Samurai, a Netflix Japanese drama, is very good, sort of like a Japanese Squid Game, only with Samurai out to kill each other. Six part series, unfortunately it ends on a cliffhanger so it will be a long wait for the resolution.

She threw you over for a bolt driver? I think there's only one response to that, no matter what the risk might be

Always refuse dynamic conversion. You're right it's tantamount to fraud and banks try hard to confuse you about it

Sepsis is always a danger when you've had surgery

Time to start checking out nursing homes.

This is incorrect. Pfizer was at first trying to develop a standalone mRNA flu vaccine but while it worked well with younger patients, it failed to meet targets for seniors 65 and over. Last year, it tested a combination Covid 19 and Flu shot. That shot worked well against Covid and the A strain of flu but failed to meet efficacy goals for the B strain. Moderna has had the same problem, a vaccine that works well against the A strain of flu but not the B strain. Pfizer anyway is continuing to work on a mRNA flu vaccine so it hasn't abandoned the project. Development of mRNA vaccines in general will undoubtedly be hampered though by RFK Jr's elimination of government funding.

Why is this trolling? As I said, you offer no evidence for your arguments, you deny the veracity of science that has been established for centuries, you have no explanation for why antibiotics or vaccines work, and continually mock people who disagree with you. So how exactly is anything I wrote wrong? If you wanted a serious discussion, you would present a real argument. You can't even bother to do that. And yet you call others intellectually lazy.

I see, just another troll.

Yes

Yes, NT is the former TOT. The other poster said TOT. I assume he meant NT

Well, TOT, True, and 3BB (AIS) all work fine according to the above. So what's left?

I'm using Firefox and I can also access it with no problem. However, I thought online booze sales weren't legal. That's not the case?

Why should I read an article by some obscure author on Substack? You can either argue your point of view or not. And so far you haven't demonstrated that you can.

That's not what he's advocating. What he's saying is that no diseases are caused by external bacteria or viruses y. That all disease arises from the mutation of microscopic entities (which have never been found) reacting to changes in the internal balance of the body. There, does that sound like 19th century gobbledygook? Well, it should because that's what it is. And of course the body is resilient -- it has an immune system. Referring to the "terrain" of the body says aboslutely nothing concrete at all.

As I noted before, you are clearly incapable of debating this topic. All you can do is reference a self-published work by a failed doctor turned homeopathist. And that's your scientific evidence.

Your mistake is your failure to recognize that germ theory succeeded because it led to the cure of diseases. Nobody has ever been cured of anything by terrain theory. Beauchamp's theory of microzymas led nowhere. Germ theory on the other hand led to the development of antibiotics and the cure of legions of diseases including syphillis, which had been the scourage of the Western world. It's amazing to me that some people actually want to return to the dark ages. Let's resume blood letting as well! And the theory of the four humors! Or maybe disease is actually caused by demonic beings.

I notice you couldn't answer any of my questions. What expertise do you have, besides possibly reading Dissolving Illusions, Turtles All the Way Down, and other pseudo-science books? When I had a bladder infection, I went to the hospital, had a blood test, and was prescribed an antibiotic. The infection was gone in three days. How do you explain that? How was smallpox eradicated? And polio? Please explain if it wasn't the vaccines. Also how is it that measles has made a reappearance as the number of vaccinated decreases. Why was it that measles reappearedin Samoa, where the percentage of vaccinated had fallen below 40 percent, and not in any other countries in the area? Please explain. I had tetanus as a child. Stepped on a rusty nail. By the time it was discovered, the blood poisoning was halfway up my thigh. Another couple of hours and I would have been dead. I went to the hospital, had an injection of antibiotics, and was healed. Did the "terrain" of my body suddenly shift? Did the injection give me a new terrain? I feel like a fool even asking such questions. Why is it that no one now gets smallpox if it wasn't a contagious disease and the vaccines did no good. Shouldn't it still be popping up all over the place? Why do you feel a compulsion to quote people who have been discredited by actual reputable scientists who have made a contribution to the progress of medicine. Name one medical advance achieved by Susan Humphries, a failed nephrologist who now practices homeopathy and apparently derives most of her income by telling lies about vaccines. Finally, why do you feel compelled to be so strident, stubborn and irrational?

I'm not speaking bad of you at all. I'm simply stating a fact: you have no expertise in the field of health or medicine and yet you deny discoveries that have been proven beyond any reasonable doubt. Why do antibiotics cure illnesses? Why do vaccines work? Why is it that when you eat a food containing ecoli you become sick? Is that because the "terrain" or your body suddenly changes? Why have Beauchamp's "microzymas" never been found? Viruses have been isolated: the Covid, polio, and influenza viruses have all been isolated. You think there's some big scam going in science? The evidence is so overwhelming that it isn't even worth arguing about.

Obviously not. The advice in fact was to find a Thai landlord if you didn't have one. Quite a blow for foreigners living abroad renting out there condos

No, it doesn't. And you can't argue with people who deny over 200 years of science. You think the applicaiton of terrain theory cured syphillis or gonorhea? Why is HIV still prevalent? It's your right to be an idiot but you should realize that every time your open your mouth, you're emitting a miasma just as bad as the diseases you're refuting.

Another new rule seems to be that if you're applying for a retirement visa extension, condo leases must have owners with a 12 month visa in Thailand. If that's not the case, the lease will not be accepted by immigration.

If he'd stayed out of politics, he wouldn't be in this mess. He didn't even try to hide his heavy-handed approach to running the country.

I had mine suspended a couple of times and I have no idea why. No explantion. Then they asked to see a copy of my passport so I abandoned the account and started a new one.

I really liked it. It's loosely (to put it mildly) based on the novel Vineland by Thomas Pynchon (Anderson also directed Inherent Vice, based on another of his novels). The plot is convoluted, encompassing everything from crazed revolutionaries to sexual obsession and sanctuary cities but it all makes sense, sort of, in the end. I think Anderson is certainly one of the best directors around today, most famous for things like Boogie Nights, There Will Be Blood, The Master, etc. But I even liked his "rom-con" Licorice Pizza, though ordiinarily I never watch movies in that genre.
