https://aseannow.com/rss/44-thailand-news.xml/National and regional news from all around ThailandenYou, Sir, will be most happy to know that your statement about worms and worm eggs, viable ones, anyway, is FALSE.... Here is why... The statement is false. Presence of Parasites: Anisakid nematodes have been detected in canned sardines originating from Southeast Asia, prompting regulatory recalls in countries like Malaysia in 2018. Viability Post-Canning: Standard commercial canning involves retorting at high temperatures, typically between 113°C and 115°C under pressure. These thermal processing conditions are significantly more severe than the threshold required to kill anisakid larvae and their eggs. Therefore, heat-treated canned fish products cannot contain viable parasites. Health Implications: Any worms discovered in commercially canned fish are dead and incapable of causing anisakiasis, a parasitic infection which strictly requires the ingestion of live larvae. However, the residual allergenic proteins from the dead worms can survive the thermal canning process and may still provoke allergic reactions in previously sensitized individuals. I do not worry about worms. I worry about tenderness and size. I would buy product from Norway if I had the choice and the source.

The CDC states: 'Injuries and deaths from firearms impact many children and teens, their families, and their communities in the United States. Taking into account all types of firearm injuries, including homicides, suicides, and unintentional injuries, firearm injuries were the leading cause of death among children and teens ages one to 19 in 2020 and 2021'. Please note that I referenced the total figure and did not make a separate claim regarding suicide. Nice try at moving the goalposts — my personal opinions on gun ownership are not relevant here. https://www.cdc.gov/firearm-violence/php/research-summaries/children-and-teen-impacts.htmlThu, 04 Jun 2026 11:45:17 +0000Apologies, it is my responsibility to provide evidence for my claim.

There is really no question on this score. There are many examples, but one obvious example is this: Lifting weights improves balance, physical balance. Improved balance minimizes unexpected falls. Unexpected falls, whether or not they might be fatal falls, leads to decreased days on Earth. This is just one obvious example to prove the answer to the Topics's question is yes.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 11:42:32 +0000The Supreme Court disagrees. Thats their job, they know more than you, so you lose.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 11:38:42 +0000She sounds like the looney-tunes type... don't date crazy people and that goes for both genders.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 11:37:56 +0000When they talk about PILCHARDS vs SARDINES, then one is big and the other is small. And, the bigger they are the less tender. So, if you want to eat one on a cracker, then I hardly think you might want a PILCHARD, which could be.... Bigger than the Cracker, itself, and twice as tough, with bones poking you inside your cheeks. This is not fun, and maybe not healthy, either.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 11:37:23 +0000Actually no victims of Andrew Drummond are having a go at him. Just Visalady is harping on about a Deputy Head of Mission at the US Embassy, who failed to be appointed Ambassador, due to a Drummond story but who does not. Visalady is further publishing videos from Bryan Flowers' smear hubs, created, after libel lawyers told him to take a running jump. But few people are watching. And then Visalady brings up a guy called Gordon and cannot even show why Gordon is out of sorts of with Drummond. Flowers meanwhile has been attempting to contact convicted criminals exposed by Andrew Drummond in a desperate bid for support. His only success was to find an Aussie who has an outstanding arrest warrant in Thailand for sex trafficking. I would imagine there are plenty of people out of sorts with Drummond he has been responsible for the deportaton of several foreign criminals. Drummond incidentally gets away with defamation by winning his cases, on Thailand this has had to be on occcasion on appeal, and that is because the first tier of the judicial system is the most pliable. And, of course, his investigations are valid. His fact checking is considerably more thorough than visalady who rfers only to things she might have seen, but now cannot find.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 11:37:17 +0000How will the drug war be won?Thu, 04 Jun 2026 11:35:59 +0000Trouble is that Starmer is giving it oxygen to breath by being pretty much missing in action on the topic and only releasing a lame couple of sentences because he doesn't know what to do. He was on his knees for a criminal US druggie that had a rap sheet a mile long, but won't do the same for a young white UK citizen that was an innocent student... hypocrisy and indifference are bad optics and clearly a two-tier-Kier job. Same goes for all the other opportunist virtue signallers... disgusting. People are seeing through the veneer of BS.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 11:35:50 +0000GangstersThu, 04 Jun 2026 11:35:11 +0000Commonly translated as such by whom? And the ranks of the Reform party and their followers are chock full of their own bigoted, institutionalised racists. The difference is they haven't admitted it yet.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 11:34:35 +0000Great, the whole World will be able to see it all, just like they have seen all of Israel's response to innocent Palestinian civilians since the attack on the 7th.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 11:34:11 +0000This seems upsetting for many people here. 555Thu, 04 Jun 2026 11:34:10 +0000A "looser"? A tosser? Probably neither "owning a business" and the 19 year old girlfriend!Thu, 04 Jun 2026 11:32:53 +0000Yes, Sir... I am completely WITH YOU in your thinking and in your culinary preferance. My only problem is finding this brand, or similar brand, also from Norway, and then paying for it. How much do you pay? How do you source it? Do you ship them over, yourself, from Norway, for example? I do LOVE sardines, and counterfeit sardines which are mislabeled are just two fishy for me. Best regards, GammaThu, 04 Jun 2026 11:31:54 +0000No one yet, and hopefully none later. I don't have any handguns but will buy two when we return. One for deer and one for self defense, carried when I'm visiting certain areas.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 11:30:33 +0000No dodge. I stated that the gun war will never be won in the US, even under a true dictator.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 11:29:36 +0000Come on Musk, keep supporting ' Restore Britain' you interfering idiot, and split the right wing vote, letting Andy Burnham ' I wanna be PM' win. Surely Farage can persuade Lowe to withdraw his candidate? Or is the rift too deep? Vore for the Raving Monster Loony Party. You know it makes sense.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 11:29:07 +0000Legalization would mean more would get drugs easier, which means more overdoses as many are afraid of being busted now.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 11:28:43 +0000Thu, 04 Jun 2026 11:28:22 +0000Only pols care about the money, Dude.

Never heard that one before, but I did learn 'Adding fuel to the fire ' when I was at school.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 11:28:03 +0000But what species are these??? They look HUGE.... I do not consider these to be sardines. In Fact: Here is what they ACTUALLY are...it seems..... Product Origin Analysis The product depicted in "image_412d1c.jpg" is not the same as the canned fish originating from Norway or Portugal. The image displays a product from Sumaco, a commercial brand manufactured by the Thai corporation Chin Huay. Corporate documentation specifies that the fish utilized in their sardine lines are sourced directly from Japan. Taxonomic Classification In ichthyology and commercial food regulation (such as the FAO/WHO Codex Alimentarius), the term "sardine" is non-taxonomic and polyphyletic. It encompasses over twenty distinct species of small, epipelagic forage fish within the family Clupeidae. Norwegian Canned Sardines: These typically utilize the European sprat (Sprattus sprattus), commercially marketed as brisling. They are noted for their small size and delicate texture. Portuguese Canned Sardines: These predominantly utilize the European pilchard (Sardina pilchardus). Sumaco Sardines: Given the documented Japanese origin of the biomass, the species is categorized as the Japanese pilchard (Sardinops melanostictus). Therefore, while the product in the image is legally and commercially classified as a sardine, it represents a distinct biological species and geographic population from the European and North Atlantic variants. The morphological characteristics, lipid content, and textural profile will differ accordingly. Do you see the difference? I love sardines, if REAL they be.... But, real sardines will cost 8X the Sumaco cost for these inferior fish, which I do not like.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 11:28:01 +0000Ah, okay: "self-defence". Exactly, from whom have you defended yourself?
