  1. Exactly. When a Brit, Ozzie, or Kiwi is arrested, our first goal must be to prove he's not a "true" Brit or Ozzie, that is, nothing but a righteous, upstanding, honorable representative of the 19th century British Empire perforce innocent of any wrongdoing.
  2. Exactly. Our ANF Criminologists have always said that Brits and Ozzies should be immune from arrest or overstay penalties until the Red Bull case is solved. Known Truth.
  3. Go for the full knee replacement. Avoid half-measures.
  4. But since you won't have health checkups and don't know your numbers, of course you can't see the end looming, beginning perhaps w/ a nice debilitating stroke, so that you may postpone it. 'Course, now, when Fate, in the form of a hit-and-run, rang your number, you fought like hell to resist the call.🙂 WOT?
  5. Jim Fixx thought that. Famously wrong. Weight per se isn't the issue here. However, some people with obesity are in good metabolic health. Conversely, some people who appear to have lean bodies are at risk of cardiometabolic diseases, such as heart attack, stroke, and diabetes. --Skinny fat: Definition, causes, and lifestyle modifications
  6. It's not up to the phone to ensure backups are done correctly. We all know whose unmet responsibility that was.
  7. Pattaya has everything, look no further. Ignore the bashers; they know only a few streets. Large, diverse area; choose your lifestyle.
  8. What we need to mellow out here is a hit of Cheech and Chong, Up in Smoke:
  9. Be sure to pay your respects at the grave of Sir Francis Light, at the old Protestant Cemetary.
  10. OMAD of sugary high carb junk. Sugary drinks all day.
  11. I'm just ordinary low carb, not keto. Keto's definitely extreme and like work to do correctly. I wouldn't see the point unless it would seem optimal to resolve a particular problem. Should be put in context, true.
  12. And olive oil is low in PUFA, as the study recognizes: Several studies have indicated that MUFA derived from plant (e.g., olive oil) or animal (e.g., lard) sources is not equivalent to PUFA with respect to the effect on CVD [24,25,26]. The emphasis is more on coconut oil vs seed oils high in PUFA. Though PUFA is touted as beneficial by the seed oil industry itself, the low carb/keto/whole foods advocates will disagree. The correlation between the rise of the obesity epidemic and seed oil consumption is quite striking, but explainable in the context of total dietary changeover towards more processed food and carbs. The study is consonant with the general rehabilitation of saturated fats in non-Thai studies. HDL may increase w/ a corresponding rise in LDL, for multiple reasons, including a lower carb diet w/ saturated fats. LDL may as well, but low carb says that's not significant if low carb is adhered to, the weight's in a healthy range, and the TG/LDL ratio's good. It helps that TG is usually lower. The increased LDL, if any, seems to be of less-harmful larger particles.
  13. Seen some notably poor results from those experiments-of-one. Some numbers aren't detected until they've already done internal damage you really didn't need. Keeping all the visible metrics w/i healthy range is all to the good, however. Doing that, I haven't needed any meds so far, at age 75.
  14. Can imagine why anyone wouldn't, unless skint. Only way to fly. Gimme my daily veggies with Bertolli. Love them polyphenols. For what is the question. Dr. Berg gets some love here. He happened to write about the differences last month: Coconut Oil vs Olive Oil Which is Better.
  15. I wouldn't base my "bottom line" on one study and one hack's interpretation of it. But that's just me, of course. One's cholesterol number can be improved in a number of ways. It may also not be as big a worry as you might think. Worry more about that TG/HDL ratio. https://www.amazon.com/Clot-Thickens-enduring-mystery-disease-ebook/dp/B09KV553GY https://www.amazon.com/Clot-Thickens-enduring-mystery-disease-ebook/dp/B09KV553GY
  16. Misses the point. The objection against seed oils per se (as opposed to their use in junk food etc.) isn't that they contribute to weight gain/obesity more or less than other oils. It's mostly about the linoleic acid, about which you can google more. For example, I won't bother to get into this further, as it's a religious issue with many of our experts going by outdated or biased info (funded by the seed oil/food processing industries and echoed throughout the 'net) and of course supported by strong personal anecdotal evidence. Or practice. Yet common sense alone suggests "natural" oils used over the centuries might well be better than modern processed oils, just as whole foods are likely better for you than processed.
  17. Immigration is paid to occupy itself with immigration. Why should overstay be permitted? How's that working for the USA and UK? Seeing headlines about arrests and investigations all the time. You read the Thai papers or watch Thai news?
