save the frogs

Just be aware that it is highly processed, and therefore very unhealthy. Take a look at the very long and scary list of ingredients. Be afraid. Be very afraid. Boo!

No, the BIG question is why didn't you just head back to Iowa? Why are you quoting Shakespeare and Stephen Hawking after just landing in a new country? What does it have to do with Japan? You're too lost in the pseudo-intellectual stirrings of every book you ever read in your life to be able to appreciate Japan.

This is a podiatrist. He recommends LISTERINE foot soaks.

I can't think of a topic

I was blocking ads, but I'm thinking to stop doing it because content creators get paid from ads. But not telling anyone else what to do.

Would you and/or bignok recommend spending MORE time on AN to combat boredom or LESS time?

Ok, I can't argue with that.

someone else just started a thread about boredom a few days ago. it's arguably "unsportsmanlike" to start another thread on exactly the same topic. but there is no forum rule against it I guess.

Yes, system needs to be changed. But no need to get into bashing any particular president because it has been like that forever.

You are right. Maybe the US is the only Western country that has this system.

i thought he was gone. but here he is.

competing with georgegeorgia for the most entertaining thread on boredom? i'm getting bored of boredom threads.

7411 posts. There must be a lot of geopolitical experts on AN.

Maybe it only works for certain funguses or fungi or whatever. I just checked Amazon. They actually sell a tiny at-home laser device for toenail fungus. So you can apply laser treatment at home yourself, daily I guess? It's not that cheap, but maybe worth the investment. Lazada doesn't have it.

Carbs is one issue. But whole wheat has other things that harm health besides carbs, as far as I know. For instance, it may inhibit absorbtion of nutrients, it may be GMO. But you may find mixed opinions and some nutritionists actually saying it's healthy. Maybe flip a coin to decide.

Boredom is one issue. Feeling isolated is another. This guy from Ireland says he feels like he is losing his mind sometimes in Thailand.

My comment: You can't see the forest for the trees

someone just commented in the elephant article that most people's responses lacked empathy. hope that helps with your survey.

This continuous pressure on elephants’ bodies can deteriorate the tissue and bones on their back, causing irreversible physical damage to their spines. https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/thailand-elephant-ride-abuse-intl-hnk/index.html

He says "you can see the guide trying to catch up on foot." Could he have walked any more slowly? He wasn't making much effort to catch up at all.

Is there an interaction more useless than the forced uncomfortable interaction with a taxi driver?

Everything you wanted to know about cholesterol but were afraid to ask ... Are you guys too cool for school or are you up for an educational video? It's the first time I've seen cholesterol explained this way ... and she does use a diagram which is helpful to understanding. Dr. Boz explains why she doesn't prescribe statins. She differentiates between LDL in circulation and LDL stuck in the arterial wall. She says the statins lower the LDL levels in circulation, but it's the LDL in the arterial wall that can cause a heart attack. LDL 1 - Not associated with heart attack - Increased by eating saturated fat - Lowered by statins LDL 2 (the one stuck in the arterial wall) - Causes heart attack - Increased by eating processed carbs - Not lowered by statins This video is mind-blowing!
