https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/03/28/7335261/ Government estimates: Almost 5,000 people killed in Mariupol, 170,000 remain under siege there will be hell to pay, Vlad.

Dodgy stuff happening when importing personal effects to Thailand
tgw replied to rose33's topic in General Topics
"personal effects" can go through customs tax free when you are moving your official address / household as part of the process of taking up residency. There is official documentation for that. FedEx or any other courier service do not really provide a customs service. They could, but they don't. They present your paper to the customs and can advance the fee and charge you and that's it. For any customs work, due diligence, advice, etc. it's necessary to talk with an international shipping company/agent, international movers, etc. -

Politico published this story about a Russian colonel who has allegedly been run over and killed by his own troops: https://www.politico.eu/article/russian-brigade-commander-killed-by-his-own-forces let's hope this is true and becomes a trend, all the way to the top. -

actually, many of these weapons are almost free. they have been stockpiled 20+ years and stocks must be rotated, new models coming out. especially the Javelin is being replaced with a newer missile, the FGM-148F. -
Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital
tgw replied to Chris.B's topic in The War in Ukraine
that scenario is pretty clear: show trials, mass murders, mass deportations, puppet regime, iron curtain, ... everything out of Stalin's playbook. and it would spell disaster for democratic Ukraine. and think about it ... Putin's "New Russia", the sanctioned and embargoed Russia, the pariah state Russia ... what would be the destiny of any country controlled by it ? don't kid yourself that in case Ukraine beats the Russians fascist back, sanctions on Russia and Putin would be lifted ... Putin is done, sanctions will not end until he is gone and Russia holds democratic polls and elects a democratic leader. Until then it will remain a pariah state, with or without Putin. -

this is 2022, more than 100 years after WW1. weren't the troops executed by the british given a hearing? anyway, Putin's war must be going great if he sends death squads against his own men. -

Germany is building 2 gas terminals at the moment and the rest of the EU has put together a task force to eliminate EU's dependence on Russia's energy. Soon mad Xui Lo Putin will only be able to sell his oil and gas to other pariah states. I hope a global trade embargo including oil and gas is soon imposed on Russia with EU and US sanctions attached, for punishing third countries meaning to trade with Russia. -

would be comical if it wasn't so sad. "first phase complete" yeah right ... after losing 20% of its troops and nearly 25% of its generals, Russia moves on to phase 2, where it will lose the rest... Putin's war must be going well... Putin sends in 'execution squads' to kill own troops if they try to flee Ukraine war https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/putin-sends-execution-squads-kill-26534705 -

Trans women athletes fairness question is not going away
tgw replied to Jingthing's topic in Gay People in Thailand
it's really really difficult to form an opinion about what's fair in this case. current hormone levels might be an indicator, but what about past hormone levels which influences the development of the body? what about people born with two types of fully formed sexual organs (very rare, but still ...) and then let's do a theoretical comparison with paralympics - look under classification and cheating: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paralympic_Games#Functional_classification_(since_1980s) another aspect is that most top champions in sport benefit from minor genetic advantages/mutations that give them an advantage. some women have naturally high performance-enhancing hormone levels, they were born with it. should they be disqualified from taking part ? and then there's a fundamental question about categories in the first place. categories are there to "make it fair and fun" . . . should "fair" even have a place in measuring human performance ? -

I'm not saying MSG can't have adverse health effects in certain combinations or quantities/concentrations, I'm saying MSG is MSG regardless of the source.
-
as previously said, there is no chemical difference between natural and artificial MSG.

your post is both defamation and denigration, in addition to simply relaying false information. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/msg-good-or-bad read up on the subject.

my guess would be about 400 - 450 baht

it is good news. only heavy losses are likely to make Putin and Russia stop. the more invaders Ukraine manages to kill, wound or make surrender, the better for Ukraine. -
