Depends on what you're looking for. If you want junk food, ready meals, and carbonated beverages, 7-11 is your go to place. If you're looking to fill your daily grocery shopping needs including perishables, Tops Daily is much better.

If they limited it to whining (or whinging) that would be one thing but it's the obnoxious attitude, the undeserved air of superiority (even when they're working as English teachers in the 3rd world). I saw a Brit at Tops shove an old man out of his way. I've seen them bully store clerks and waitresses. They still maintain that colonial mentality despite the fact that that their own country has almost no significance in world affairs anymore.l Oh, well, human nature I guess. Provoke a German and you're likely to see the Nazi inside him arise. Different nationalities have their own individual characteristics. It seems virtually inescapable.

Why all the insults? His point is entirely legitimate. The prime minister is bellyaching daily about the dearth of tourists. This isn't the way you get them to come back.

The only problem you might have is in the case of shared property. So you just need to make sure that all your assets are in your name alone. Of course, the lack of a marriage certificate also means you have no legal rights regarding the child. So if the mother decides to take her, there's nothing you can do about it.

Dumb suit. Nothing was misrepresented in the trial report Pfizer issued. The methodology and results were clearly stated. How the media portrayed the results is another matter but not something Pfizer could be held legally liable for I would think. Paxton, of course, just survived an impeachment trial and is emeshed in an ongoing securities fraud trial and has been accused of blatant corruption and malfeasance in office. Nevertheless, the suit should play well with his constituents in Texas.

Sounds like you already have plenty of friends to advise you. I don't know why you're asking on this forum

Come on, when you factor in how much he had to pay to buy his way out of all his legal troubles, he's still staring at a big loss

I was being facetious about dark matter but it does bring up an important point, that we don't understand the forces controlling 97 percent of the universe. We don't even know if dark matter is really matter. We don't know what it is. We don't know why the Big Bang occurred or even if it did occur. We don't know what existed before it and we can't explain how the universe magically came into being. Modern physics has become to a large extent the equivalent of magical thinking, with multiverses and the 9 dimensions of string theory. But at least the math works. There are forces at work, fundamental forces, that we just don't understand. Meanwhile, there is a long and rich tradition of mysticism that stretches right back to the beginning of the human race, as some anthropologists believe the cave paintings of stone-age man were mystical rituals. These mystical traditions all point to a reality beyond the material world and our physical senses. It is my opinion that we cannot explain the prevalence of acts of so heinous they make no rational sense, mass murderers, cannibals, genocide, modern billionaires, for example, without recognizing that there are evil forcces at work. They do not have our best interest at heart. And they tempt into doing what is bad for us. Bob Dylan was once asked why kept performing so much when he no longer needed to. He answered, "That gets back to that destiny thing. I made a bargain and I'm holding up my end of it." "A bargain with who?" "The chief commander, of this world and the world we can't see."

Yes, demons exist, although I don't think God gave Satan the Earth as his playground. We become too caught up in symbols and metaphors and as a result can't see the obvious. But there is a supernatural world and does impinge on our world. And there are malevolent forces that will try to tempt us down the path of evil and self-destruction. Remember, 97 percent of the universe is composed of forces that we don't understand, which we refer to as "dark" matter and "dark" energy.

You missed my point. The rich do everything they can to avoid paying taxes. So tax authorities focus on squeezing the people who can't fight back.

If your condo is wired for fiber optic internet, you can go online and make an appointment to have the representative of the company of your choice come and install it for no charge. You will probably have to sign at least a six month contract to begin with (they might ask for a year but legally only six months is required) and pay upfront but after the contract expires, you can go to a month-to-month basis.. You can also ask at the juristic office. Some condo buildings have preferred internet suppliers and they can inform you if that's the case. That doesn't mean you can't use somebody else but you have to find out if the company will serve your building. You shouldn't have to wait long to have it installed, a few days at most.

Give me a break While the rich in Thailand avoid paying hardly any tax at all, foreigners should rejoice that they're going to be double or triple taxed? Ask Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and all the other rich guys how they feel about that. But I guess you would say they lack "public spirit."

I like it as well. Action, ethics, romance, a little bit of everything. I had trouble getting it from EZTV and TGX, but it was a quick download on 1337x

When I was young, I found them endlessly fascinating. Now, I have very little interest. Blame it on the lack of testosterone. What I have realized is how so much of my behavior was determined by forces I had no control over. I was in the grip of my genes and my instincts.

You might want to ask about table top restorations. Like a crown but cheaper and less invasive. I think the girlfriend's cost 12000

It seems Mr. Anti-Corruption bends whichever way the wind blows

Easier said that done. And there have been a few assassinations and disappearances in recent years, including that guy who was disappeared in Cambodia. Also a few beatihngs of dissidents in public. Not that I'm pointing any fingers.

The other solution is to decrease the scale of the display. If you currently have it set at 125%, reduce it to 100 and that will solve the problem. Of course, you might not be able to read the text and icons will proportionately smaller. You could then increase the font size through the accessibility settings but that will also increase the size of Chrome's menu bar. So it's a cache-22 as far as Chrome is concerned. That's why I use Firefox. There's a hack so you can increase the size of the the text without increasing the size of the menu bar.

Go to zoom and reduce the screen size. Chrome aligns the menu bar with the scale of the display. If you increase the display scale to, say, 125 percent, the Chrome menu bar will increase accordingly. So zoom out until you can see the top of the box.

That's the position of the CDC but it's unproven since no controlled studies have been done. Rather, they base their assumption on antigen levels. In actual practice, there seems to be little evidence that extra boosters provie greater protection except to high-risk populations. Paul Offit discusses this in his podcast

I suppose you also think the Earth is flat and nobody ever landed on the moon?

Yes, so if you've already had two shots and a booster then even if it was some time ago, you're probably sufficiently protected. The antibodies decrease but your t-cells will still remember how to fight the virus.

IgG4 antibodies have both strengths and weaknesses. Because of their structure, they'll bind to the spike protein but they often lack the capacity to ramp up the immune response. A heightened immune response results in a high level of inflammation (fever, chills, aches, etc.) So if igG4 antibodies are being substittued for other types, there will be lower levels of inflammation but perhaps a weaker immune response. So it's misleading to say it makes you "more likely" to get covid. More likely compared to what? You're not more likely to get covid than an unvaccinated person. Quite the opposite in fact. Also, breakthrough infections, when you get Covid more than once, exhibit the same tendency, so this seems to be response to repeated infections, whether vaccinated or not. It's also important to note that two shots and a booster are going to provide you with all the protection you need probably. Getting five or six boosters isn't going to add much protection. There is even no solid evidence that the bivalent booster is really helping all that much.

Much has been made of the admission that the vaccine wasn't tested for transmission effects. The reason for that wasn't nefarious, it's just that it would have taken up to six more months of testing and health authorities didn't want to wait. The objective was to reduce hospitalization and death so hospitals and ICUs could begin functioning normally again. As it turned out, the original vaccine did reduce transmission in various ways, i.e. by preventing people from catching the virus, by reducing the time they were sick with it, reducing hospital admissions (where much of the transmission occured), etc. Respitory viruses are notoriously hard to control, however, as they mutate frequently, which makes developing an effective vaccine difficult.

While it's true that the vaccines were developed in a short amount of time, their safety has been monitored continuously for the past 3 years. That's how the issue of blood clots in the Johnson and Johnson (since taken off the market) and Astra Zeneca vaccines was discovered as well as the myocarditis/pericarditis issue. In fact, this has already been the most studied vaccine in history. So what it boils down to is whether you trust the mainstream science or the conspiracy theorists. And that depends on your psychology.
