Dear All It would be nice to see discussions about the topic. If somebody doesen't have arguments and just uses "Ad hominem" or overloads the "discussion" it makes no sense for me to react and lower myself to the same level. Or in simple words, save your time, energy. And don't feed the trolls.

How do you think reserch is done next to government funding? Thousands of small labs worldwide, (Europe - especially Switzerland have the most) are funded by risk capital from non-government parties. They only do research - if they make a hit - they can sell it to big pharma. Lots of those labs focus only on one thing. After maybe two years they have to show their results. If they seem worth it, the risk-capital givers give another slice to go on. If not, the lab-team starts somewhere else on a different research. This is reality, since years going like that. Research costs alot - but the chance to make "the hit" can bring alot of money. Europe and Canada welcomes every good scientist from the US. And they will be gone for the US.

Well, I don't read any facts from Yagoda - not even alternative ones. That's why he always changes the topic. But hey - what do you expect from a winner. Hmm, or whiner? I always get mixed up with these complicated expressions.

You wanted facts. Hard to accept facts?

...Deutsche Bank has been Trump’s most important lender. The Trump Organization, fronted by his two older sons, owes the bank about $340m in outstanding loans. After a series of bankruptcies in the 1990s, it was the only bank willing to give Trump money. etc.pp. Facts enough? Next.

Yes.

Banks have clear rules. If any person, business, company or whatever is not trustworthy it's a normal procedure to cancel any kind of business. Has nothing o do with "folks and their politics". It's the economy stupid.

Did you check what it would cost to order from UK in Singapore? Perhaps even costlier, but thats the origin country it comes from. Thailand produces under licence.

Emm, no financial expert, but if I invest in crypto, NO national Bank worldwide nor any economy has any access to those investments. I can buy and sell my cryptos stored in my digital wallet wherever I want to.

The most important scentence in the Bangkok Post article: "The details are still being discussed within the Finance Ministry." So, no difference until now, since 1.Jan. 2024 same same...

No news. Apple as also Microsoft try to force you to buy their products. Both of them tell you, that you have to buy a newer device, as they will stop the support for this hardware.

It's all in the settings. Go and change it the way you need it. Cloud? Never ever I will store data's on a cloud. My datas - on my harddisk only. Regardless if Apple or Microsoft.

That's absolutley ok for me. ... in that case you will never make the experience how any dish from any culture can taste like which might look strange for you. It's only in your head that "it has to look like..." Ricotta and spinach you can find often inside of Ravioli or Canneloni - if you ever ate fresh handmade pasta.

On last Saturday, roasted filled chicken breast with home made ricotta and spinach. What would I do (eat) without my wife...
