Dig around and you can find the research, as I did some years ago. Protein supplementation being bad for kidneys has been debunked. Not aware of contraindications w/ medicine.

And in any case the focus on high cholesterol and statins is misguided. Focus on that triglyceride/HDL ratio.

Exactly. So if, being already old, you have a bad accident on your bike, say, a hit-and-run, go ahead and bleed out on the street. Why spend all that money and time fighting your Fate clearly telling you that your time's up? WOT?

Dietary cholesterol translating to high blood cholesterol is debunked but often repeated by the misinformed. It's about like that Chinese belief that eating tiger penis soup will increase virility.

No. Avoid the Genetics Voodoo, one of the ANF Longevity Principles. Saps motivation. Seniors need more: Research suggests that protein requirements may be higher in older adults. Researchers recommend that older adults consume 1-1.2 grams of protein per kilogram body weight. --https://acl.gov/sites/default/files/nutrition/Nutrition-Needs_Protein_FINAL-2.18.20_508.pdf Is that sugary orange juice?

Having no control, you'll never know if it worked or not, unless you find noticeable improvement in your blood markers. Those might, or can, be due to a change of diet and/or exercise. You may compare yourself w/ your peers, but so many different factors makes it almost meaningless, except for the obvious: e. g., their obesity vs your normal weight. Frustrating thing about taking supplements . . . .

Selfless public service when I'm between other tasks at the computer. In fact I'm leaving now for the gym, so I'll leave you to pump it out.

Paid troll, can't retire.

Disingenuous lack of awareness. Video's quite suggestive, the vituperation recorded, the red mark, the witness, and the admission of Fehr himself w/ the laughable excuse of "slipped." He knew that path to the stairs quite well, abused some Chinese earlier. Credible victim, dubious perp, all considered. He'll have his day in court and be found guilty as he should be.

Whenever justified on an objective basis.

He knows that quite well. The job is to troll and play to the low Brit peanut gallery for page views.

Enough with the simplistic binary thinking. Get with the both/and program.

This pearl of wisdom, an ANF Poster Basic Principle, should be pinned somewhere for all the noobs.

Yawn. You ever give it a break, bob? You needn't work full-time pumping out this cr*p.

He may not be jailed. He is being treated equally, as the victim chose to press charges. He isn't being deported. His visa was revoked. Nor was his visa revoked solely because of the kick. He has no legal right to stay in Thailand if Immigration deems him an undesirable, which he is.

Yes. The agenda was to walk on the beach w/ a friend then find a convenient spot to sit watch the beach and stars for a while. Then she gets suddenly kicked in the back by an arrogant foreign pr*ck and treated like a dog. At that point, the agenda changed, and rightly so.

As his visa is already revoked, he may simply be burning more time while still detained in a cell, though I guess he could be freed pending appeal, in which case as you note he'd want to get his affairs in order. Since Anutin already said he'd deny the appeal, it'll probably be over quickly.

He intends to appeal but the appeal is to Deputy PM Anutin, who's said it will be denied. I don't think he'll change his mind, as he publicly told Fehr to "go home."

No, good point. He'll need to leave under his own power as soon as it expires. If not he'll then be detained and deported when caught on overstay for the reason of visa expiration. Fehr will be on immediate overstay when eligible for release, so he'll be escorted to the airport unless he has no ticket. Technically he'll be deported for that reason then, not for other crimes, and that's the norm. Immigration may also apply its own subjective judgment whether to grant, revoke, or extend (cf agents getting extensions on IO authority) a visa or not. There's no trial or judicial appeal. You aren't even owed a reason, though they usually give one. We have a hard time processing that reality, but it's good to know and keep in mind.

No, your brainwaves have confused WATER FESTIVAL with WATER THROWING. The FESTIVAL is a bunch of newly added events around the country. The official Wan Lai days have remained the same as they've always been. Read the announcement from TAT and the list of events throughout the country at the link: Songkran in Thailand is officially observed as a three-day national holiday from 13-15 April, although celebrations can take place at different time and go on for longer. Here’s only some of the Songkran festivals in Bangkok and the five regions that we have selected for tourists to enjoy. In celebration of the ‘Songkran in Thailand’ being recognised by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage, nationwide celebrations are set to be even more amazing to illustrate the rich culture and tradition of the Thai New Year. --https://www.tatnews.org/2024/03/celebrating-unesco-listed-songkran-in-thailand-and-other-festivals-throughout-april-2024/

Time to stop lying about this? Highly suggestive video evidence exists AND the man himself confessed he did it, with a laughable excuse.

He isn't being deported. His visa is being revoked. Understand the difference and stop wasting your time.

Agreed.

No, making a clear denunciation against bribery attempts and undue influence was quite ethical. As Fehr is attempting to appeal his visa revocation, a very strong warning that it will be useless seems helpful so that Fehr needn't waste legal fees and get his hopes up. The prosecution and judge will be constrained by law as to the penalties they may apply. And there is enough evidence for a court hearing. So, wait and see.

Not if the victim chooses to press charges, as they have the right to do. I think she's thoroughly PO'd at being treated like a dog by this arrogant foreign pr*ck. Can't say that I blame her.
