I have no reason to fear hospitals having worked in them for decades, but I still have "white coat syndrome. Next time take your own machine and use it as well as the hospital ones to see if it really reads differently.

You get what you pay for- they sound like junk at that price. As already posted, Omron BP monitors at any good pharmacy. Mine is over 10 years old and still works well.

Actually, it's called democracy and you don't have to agree with them. I'm sad that someone that usually posts good stuff resorts to such language to describe people you disagree with.

No wall ever worked without a ( military ) force to back it up, including the Great wall of China. I saw an interesting documentary about that.

LOL. So you don't see US$ 16k as a disincentive to buy! I guess you are one of those rich guys. Popular ex Japan second hand cars in NZ go for under ten thousand, and often for around $3,000. No way electric cars are going to be snapped up at 16k, as long as cheaper petrol cars are available.

I was fortunate once to see the royal guard in their splendid pink uniforms. They may have been inspired by the British guards but they put their own interpretation on it when it came to colour.

From the NATO website. It doesn't say anything about protecting non member countries. https://www.nato.int/nato-welcome/index.html Security in our daily lives is key to our well-being. NATO’s purpose is to guarantee the freedom and security of its members through political and military means.

I only watched Fox for the entertainment factor, as I knew that most of what they put on was opinion. I think the weather report was the only thing I took to be factual. If people want to believe that Fox was a fact based channel, that is their affair. BTW, I watched Fox because CNN was so pants.

I find it hard to believe that there is anyone that thinks politicians tell the truth. I don't believe a word they say.

IMO you are showing your ignorance of what Pattaya is. It has what every place in LOS has, but more obviously, but it also has many other things. A common factor about farangs that live in Pattaya would IMO be that they don't spend a lot of time in bars looking for women to have sex with, as probably in a relationship.

Sooooo, you lived in Bkk, the <deleted> <deleted> of Thailand and didn't like it to the point of going back to the states. Didn't you even consider that Bkk isn't the be all and end all of Thailand, and that there are about a gazillion far better places to live in LOS?

It's not a "party" and the rules have been set for probably centuries. No individual could afford it and it's supposed to be a message to the world about the power the British hold. That was probably true when his mother was crowned, but Britain isn't the power it was any longer- rather it's an ex power, IMO, and a big coronation might just make people realise how far Britain has fallen. IMO a bit pointless now, but it will be an opportunity for the nobs to show themselves off. BTW, just realised that Britain might be the only country left that can throw a big coronation- still got the horse guards and the royal carriages etc to do it. However, I doubt it'll be anywhere as big as his grandfather's coronation was- I saw a documentary about that, and it had dozens of crowned heads from around the world- all gone now.

Doesn't matter how large the range is, as for any that can only afford second hand cars, the deciding factor has to be cost of battery replacement. Solve that situation and things may actually change. As electric cars have only been around a short while, it's going to be a decade or two till they are cheap enough second hand to consider buying.

While no crime has yet been proven in a court of law, who knows what the future holds for Mr Trump, but in the meantime it's a pity that so many ignore "innocent till proven guilty". Personally, I hope he's found guilty of something that will eliminate him from the presidential contenders in 24, as I greatly fear that if he does stand he'll split the GOP vote and allow the Dems to keep the big chair and IMO that would be a catastrophe.

The west can do anything it likes, but why is NATO involved when no NATO country is under attack?

He blew it when he attacked, or colluded in attacks on his own family. Honourable people just don't do family dirty washing in public.

They've probably got nothing else.

She has to keep her name in the public arena or be forgotten, LOL.

I don't see how windmills impinge on the ability of animals to feed in their vicinity. Is there more to this story than is apparent?

I came on to see if that was the new word for "executed", but as it was at her own request, it seems appropriate. However, as someone that wants euthanasia available for all, if desired, It's a shame it isn't available unless we do something so diabolical to deserve the death penalty.

IMO it only matters if we think the "media" are normally truthful, which I don't. Local media is IMO so biased and "woke" that I no longer watch the so called "news".

Excellent and informative post. Keep 'em coming.

IMO we either have free speech or we don't. Can't pick and choose based on our own personal likes or dislikes.

IMO society is worse off now that it was back before going to uni was a "normal" thing, and mainly such as Doctors, lawyers, architects, engineers etc went there. IMO the expansion of universities is to make money, not benefit society.

Yeah, I know someone that has mental problems from smoking weed most of his life.
