VLC Media Player Has Crashed.
Thia happened about 2 hours ago. Has it crashed for everyone who was using it or just me? If it was just me what should I do? Just use another player, uninstall VLC and then reinstall it again. -

Nerve Conduction & EMG Report
I had one of these for my legs to lumbar. Showed weekness in the electric current response. So my evaluation of the test for nerves of spine and back, was that I had nerve damage, which they new before. The CT scans, xrays, MRIs, already showed this up. -

Southport Stabbing: Child Killed and Several Injured in Taylor Swift-Themed Workshop Attack
No, you have a word with yourself; you have been accusing me of an Islamophobic diatribe for abhorring certain practices pertaining to Islam, but now you refuse to defend the very practices that you say make me Islamophobic for criticising. Time to fess up; you can’t have it both ways, either own your support for Islam, or understand that I have perfectly valid reasons for fearing it. -

The Tim Walz thread.
The biggest compliment that can be paid to Walz (and Harris for picking him) is how much it has rattled Trump and his acolytes! 🤣 -

Mystery Deepens: Missing British Man Boarded Flight from Thailand
My theory stands. He (possibly) sold his return ticket and (possibly) his passport to get more money to stay longer in Thailand. Someone else, who for whatever reason didn't want to travel on their own passport, bought his passport and used it to board a flight to Finland and from there to who knows where. Consider that on the missing MH370 flight 2 of the passengers were Iranians who'd supposedly bought "stolen" passports in Thailand and were trying to get to Germany (on a round-about route to avoid the Middle East it seems). The "stolen" passports were from an Austrian and an Italian. On my first trip here back in '93 I was told that if I "needed money" I could go to a pawn shop and sell my passport. (I was in the military and on leave from a peace-keeping mission in Croatia so there was no way I was going to do anything like that.) 10 years later I recall an article mentioning that a valid US passport could fetch up to $10,000. (While a valid Canadian one was apparently only worth $3,000 ! Discrimination !) And no, it would not be the first time someone has gone bonkers during a holiday here. While I was in Kabul in 2004, one of our firefighters took a 2 week trip to Phuket. This guy was one of "those guys" that the girls would go out of their way to catch a peek of. (We used to see a gaggle of women in the "female tent area" all trying to sneak peeks of the guy when he was sun-tanning on the Hesco barriers around the tents.) During his trip he apparently fell in love (shocker) with the 3rd bar girl he met. He came back to Kabul, did his next 4 months and took his next trip to Thailand again. The Deputy Project Manager asked me (as the company Security Officer) to go with him to check the guy's bedspace when he didn't return from his holiday. He'd cleaned it out and left a pair of worn socks and a print-out of a photo of him and a girl in a tuk-tuk. He didn't give notice because the company was paying salaries "in arrears" so that if someone skipped out on their contracts the company could get the cost of their airfare back. But by pretending he was just going on holiday he was able to get his last paycheque before they realized he wasn't coming back. And lol - the guy thought he'd just "start up a dive shop" in Krabi or something. And then found out it's not that easy. And when the love of his life realized he didn't have a job or anymore money - she left him !! According to his friends back in Kabul, he had to resort to doing "odd jobs" under the table for a Canadian couple that owned a hotel and took pity on him. (And because he'd burnt his bridge with the company, there was no way he could come back and work with us again.) All because of a woman he'd met on a 2 week holiday. -

See above for the analysis of the utter strategic folly of that incursion which point to a breakdown in coherent defence startgey and rogue commanders maybe seeking glory at expense of the overall war aims which are to defend Ukaraine and retake territory. Nah, -

US debt to GDP is 120%. Biden added almost as much in 3 years as Trump did in 4. Harris will be a disaster. -

Tesla Cancels Plan for EV Factory in Thailand
Southeast Asia isn't going to reject EV imports from China given its political regional domination. With Tesla being manufactured in China for export, Thailand just isn't important for its manufacturing. But it seems Musk likes to "egg" on country leaders to get one of his EV plants. -
