Agreed, it does depend solely on the users ability to control their consumption.

Two Ultracet pills = 6 Co-codamol pills - For a pill hater like me that was brilliant - had a pingpong sized bladder stone for a year. Pain was really bad

You can also use Ultracet, over the counter in Thailand - a mix of paracetamol & tramadol. Works better than Co-codamol (paracetamol + codeine). Pure tramadol has issues to do with addiction but is very good for pain management. A friend of my mother's has used it (one pill any time she has an attack of the pain) for 30 years for horrific pain in the shoulder that cannot be diagnosed but is truly horrible she says.

Of course not, thre is biological variation, so it could be one of the forms of dementia - especially after you go into your 80s. Depends on genetics & lifestyle. Some keep their marbles & some lose them - slower or faster. -

Crazies tend to be Wahhabis or those sects influenced by Wahhabism - ideology promoted by the Wahhabis with money in Saudi Arabia. Analogous to the Evangelicals of Christianity -

Switch to no AC but use fan(s), see if it makes a difference. Fans are far more cost effective. -

If they wish to free up lots of money, maybe a serious fight against corruption. Then everyone except the corrupt will be a lot happier. -
Thought this was amusing. https://www.techlearning.com/news/high-school-math-students-used-a-gpt-4-ai-tutor-they-did-worse Much I have seen seems to be the same that AI seldom helps, except in very limited tasks. Pattern recognition for detecting cancers, is one good example I can think of. But for education I doubt they are very useful except for generating examples in English of possible use words or grammar examples to put into questions for students. Two friends who teach English both use AI to generate examples for teaching then has to spend time correct the AI examples but it is faster than generating stuff from scratch. Anyone think they may be more useful for education? I have great doubts that AI would help in Thailand, it seems to have far more fundamental issues in its education system that need to be solved first.

He could buy cheaper food which is more cost effective than vitamin pills. Maybe dementia is starting. I assume his visa will be cancelled & he will be deported.- 164 replies

Farage acknowledged that the party had failed to properly vet candidates in the past, leading to controversies over offensive comments made by some. He conceded, "Amateurism let us down," and emphasized the need for a more rigorous approach moving forward. To address this, he announced a series of reforms aimed at making the party more professional, including stringent vetting processes for all future candidates. Farage highlighted the party's potential to represent the "silent majority" of British voters, many of whom feel overlooked by mainstream political parties. He stated that with better preparation, Reform UK could have won even more seats in the July election. The party is now focused on building its national presence, with a particular emphasis on winning local council seats in next May’s elections. Farage noted that the party would be looking to emulate the Liberal Democrats in this respect, setting a target to win "hundreds" of council seats. Reform UK, originally launched as the Brexit Party, rebranded in 2021 following the UK’s exit from the European Union. It now aims to establish itself as a permanent fixture on the political right, advocating for stricter immigration controls, tougher policies on crime, and lower taxes. As part of its evolution, Farage announced ahead of the conference that he would be relinquishing ownership of the party, which had been set up as a private limited company to expedite its creation before the European Parliament elections in 2019. During his speech, Farage emphasized that the party must remain vigilant against being infiltrated by "extremist groups," a challenge that new political movements often face. "We don’t want extremists, we don’t want bigots, we don’t want people who think that way, because we represent the silent, decent majority of this great country," he told the crowd. Farage’s address was delivered to a lively audience of 4,000 activists, the largest attendance the party has seen to date. To the sound of Eminem's hit song *Without Me*, Farage entered the auditorium at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, waving to supporters as he made his way around the room. The party’s four other MPs, including Lee Anderson, who was perched atop an open-top double-decker bus in the conference hall, watched on as Farage took the stage. Elected as an MP in July on his eighth attempt, Farage spoke about his mission to "professionalise and democratise" the party, which he believes has already gained a crucial foothold in Parliament. He assured activists that Reform UK would not tolerate any form of extremism within its ranks. "We haven't got time, we haven't got room for a few extremists to wreck the work of a party that now has 80,000 members and rising," Farage declared, underscoring his commitment to steering the party towards long-term success. As Reform UK looks to expand its influence in British politics, Farage's vision for a more disciplined and inclusive party could be the key to securing its future as a major force on the political right. Credit: BBC 2024-09-23 He is lying, if he threw out all the bigots then he has no one left. It will never happen, this is the party where all the ex-Tories on the Hang'em, Flog'em side of the party went if they left the Tory Party.
