Ex-office PC will have much better specs and better components than a cheapo Beelink. The main draw for those things are their extremely low power draw. The ex-office machine are small enough, but with more processing power for multi-tasking. With a Beelink, you might get something with an N4500 Celeron CPU for that budget. Very basic and designed for laptops and Tablets, so as to not draw much power. Not an issue with a mains powered PC. OP might end up frustrated with the performance after a short while.Thu, 28 May 2026 03:44:53 +0000Endoscopy just means a procedure using a camera-like instrument. There are dozens of examples, some diagnistic (gastroscopy, colonoscopy, bronchoscopy etc) and some curative (e.g laparoscopic surgery). Which is why posters should be more specific and avoid just saying "endoscopy". OP was referring to gastroscopy but thread now has posts talking about colonoscopy and bronchoscopy.Thu, 28 May 2026 03:43:18 +0000Property has a slight slope but more earthworks to be done to create 4x level plots for future subdivision, was hoping to get it done before wet season but ran out of time.Thu, 28 May 2026 03:41:52 +0000I'm so sorry to hear about that, and hoping the universe will be with his family.

Ill give you a perfect example...and maybe closer tou your home in Paignton. An 85 year old with a property worth £350,000 with a pension of just over £700 a month....council tax this year is almost £300 a month...leaving this "wealthy" pensioner £400 to buy food and pay utilities...get real..you are living in cloud cuckoo land....I suppose you think they should downsize???...are you that cruel, you know what that would do to this person???... And the sad fact is, this is the state so many pensioners find themselves in, can't afford the heating, buying the cheapest food and even going to food banks...This was the hate, nastiness or whatever you want to call it, that the young seem to think is okThu, 28 May 2026 03:40:12 +0000Public anger is mounting in Yangon after police in Insein Township were accused of refusing to act on the brutal rape of a minor. The girl’s family filed a formal complaint on 22 May, detailing repeated assaults, chemical restraint and death threats in the 10‑Mile area of Sawbwa Gyi Gone. The accused, U Soe Moe, in his 40s, allegedly lured the victim, spiked her drinks with ecstasy and alcohol, and raped her multiple times. Witnesses say up to 17 people saw what happened. Despite the gravity of the allegations, Insein Myoma Police Station reportedly declined to register a case, telling the family to settle the matter through local ward administrators. Even after the suspect admitted in front of a community officer that he had threatened to kill the girl if she spoke out, no arrest was made. Legal experts stress that under Section 375 of the Penal Code, consent obtained through threats or coercion constitutes rape. Lawyers say police have full authority to investigate and detain suspects without a warrant, yet the process has been deliberately stalled. The family first approached local administrators on 3 May, but were met with indifference. One official allegedly told them to “control your own niece” rather than pursue charges. With limited financial means, the family now struggles to escalate the case to higher authorities. Residents say the episode reflects a wider pattern since the military coup, with police prioritising the pursuit of political dissidents while neglecting serious crimes such as robbery, theft and sexual assault. The case has become a flashpoint in Yangon, fuelling criticism of a justice system seen as failing victims while shielding perpetrators. For the victim’s family, the fight for accountability continues against a backdrop of official inaction and public outrage. -2026-05-28Thu, 28 May 2026 03:40:06 +0000Meta has taken down more than a hundred Facebook pages, profiles and groups linked to Myanmar’s military junta and its business arms, following pressure from campaigners. The advocacy group Justice For Myanmar (JFM) said the removals targeted accounts tied to telecom operators Mytel and MECtel, as well as propaganda outlets MRTV and MWD. Both networks are part of the Myanmar Economic Corporation, a conglomerate under junta leader Min Aung Hlaing, already sanctioned by the EU, UK, US, Australia and Canada. Meta’s action stems from its 2021 ban on military‑controlled businesses and media. JFM argues that despite repeated removals, the junta’s companies have continued to reappear online under new names, using Facebook to market services and spread propaganda. The crackdown comes as Myanmar’s generals prepare for a widely denounced election. Other platforms have also acted: Twitch and Kick removed MRTV, while TikTok banned MWD. Campaigners say these steps limit the junta’s ability to livestream and spread hate speech, but insist more must be done. “Alphabet, Apple, TikTok and Telegram must also ban the Myanmar military junta and its businesses from their platforms,” JFM declared, urging a united front against online propaganda. The removals highlight the ongoing battle between tech giants and authoritarian regimes seeking to exploit social media. For Myanmar’s opposition, each deletion is a small victory in curbing the junta’s digital reach, though campaigners warn the fight is far from over. -2026-05-28Thu, 28 May 2026 03:38:11 +0000This takes the prize as one of your most pathetic comments/replies ever... and when it comes to Trump, that's saying something.

I self-insure and keep more than enough funds here to qualify for retirement, an option I would prefer because of the extra paperwork, time and travel associated with marriage extensions. When i made the change, I initially consulted an agent hoping to smooth the waters. However, she insisted it couldn't be done without departing and starting again and offered the dodgy alterative at a hefty price. I declined. With my limited legal training, I studied the O-A legislation and concluded you definitely could change the reason for an extension. An IO tried to talk me out of it when I first applied, he didn't want the extra hassle either.Thu, 28 May 2026 03:30:12 +0000No I don't go to Pattaya.
