  1. It would be interesting to isolate a few flocks of chickens with bird flu to see if any survive. If any do survive perhaps they be can studied to see if any of them developed some sort of immunity. I say this as someone with no expertise in virology.
  2. My favorite Subway sandwich is the meatball with marinara sauce. When it comes to homemade sandwiches, my girlfriend likes my tuna salad with lettuce and sliced tomatoes. I use canned tuna in oil with mayo mixed with finely diced onion and celery. Best eaten when chilled along with my homemade bread and butter pickles.
  3. Don't overdo it lest the bread becomes soggy. We use a toaster oven for heating up crispy foods such as fried chicken.
  4. Seems like it. When I paid for 4 days of overstay at Suvarnabhumi the immigration officer, a young woman, was pleasant and all smiles. It probably helped that I had the money out before hand.
  5. I believe the maximum is still 20k. The article failed to mention that.
  6. Disclaimer: On another thread I was accused of having knowledge of Trump's promise to lower the price of eggs, which I proved to be false. Now, finally I have seen how ridiculous this whole flap about egg prices is. Today, while grocery shopping, I saw prices for a dozen of eggs vary from $4 all the way up to $10.39. Other than the cheapest eggs being an advertised special (loss leader) how do you explain the wide variation in prices?
  7. Here's one example. https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/israel-top-court-rejects-foreign-media-appeal-for-journalists-access-to-gaza/
  8. Thank you. Lots of promises, but no details, which is typical of most politicians.
  9. Show me when and where I posted anything about Trump's promise to lower food prices other than denying I was not familiar with the issue. You can't because I didn't. You are the one making things up by fabricating a falsehood about me. Again, show me the proof.
  10. What are you gonna do when the well runs dry?
  11. Did you just get out of bed? It's over. Besides freezing federal aid is not spending.
  12. Check the Forbes list of wealthy Americans and their charitable ratings. Interesting who gives and who doesn't. I would like to think this time around Trump has more capable people advising him about the how serious a problem mushrooming national debt is. Maybe I am too optimistic, but we will have to wait and see. As far as cutting spending goes, everything needs to be examined including foreign aid.
  13. China's answer to help is financing and building infrastructure through debt trap diplomacy which require most construction to be by Chinese companies with Chinese workers. Russia's answer usually involves some form of annexation or occupation. But that doesn't mean the U.S. should be responsible for providing bona fide aid.
  14. Several major credit rating agencies have downgraded the credit rating of the U.S. federal government because of the mushrooming national debt. The writing is on the wall that the U.S. had better make some very serious attempts at addressing the problem. Spending cuts need to start now and IMO foreign aid is a good place to start because the reality is, it's more palatable than cuts elsewhere.
  15. Where do you think much of that foreign aid money originates from? How much have you contributed, directly or indirectly? Spending other peoples money comes to mind.
  16. https://slate.com/human-interest/2012/10/is-islam-misogynistic.html Same thing should apply to any country that enforces this sickening misogyny on their population.
  17. Won't know unless you do. I am more familiar with the Rohingyas which centers around religious persecution.
  18. Aligns with I said in a previous post. "If there were no illegals available, then wages would rise..." However, be aware of the poster who dismisses personal experiences and demands statistics to defends one position.
  19. Lot of hypocrisy going around.
  20. Quite similar to Biden's stance on immigration and the use of the military at our southern border.
  21. I am not familiar with the issue and the details of his promise to lower food prices. The quickest way I I know to lower food prices is through price controls which eventually lead to shortages. Not a smart move unless to address an extreme national emergency. I don't think that situation exists today.
  22. Show me where I defended Trump's position on lowering food prices. You can't because I didn't.
  23. Don't want to answer the question, just say so. No need to to deflect with ridiculous excuses.
  24. Thanks for answering my question? Rather doubt it he would reply with a sensible or honest answer.
