Why some of us did not get COVID symptoms …even though we were exposed.
Good bad or indifferent the shutdowns and curfews greatly hurt many USA cities (San Francisco) for example, caused thousands of small businesses to go under, jobs lost, houses lost, apartment evictions, and many other long lasting financials issues. So were curfews and shutdowns effective? -

I would think this technology might have been very useful at Muan airport: -

Giving Up Weed
I have been thinking a lot about how weed affects the way someone with schizophrenia might think. Schizophrenia can cause people to hear voices, see things that are not there, or believe in unusual ideas. From what I have read and heard, weed’s main chemical (THC) can sometimes make these thoughts more intense. If someone is already prone to paranoia or confusion, smoking weed might push them deeper into those feelings. I have seen some people describe how their racing thoughts got worse after using weed, or how they felt more suspicious of others. For a person with schizophrenia, those suspicions can turn into fixed beliefs that are hard to shake. Weed can also blur the line between what is real and what is not, which can be scary if a person is already dealing with hallucinations. On top of that, it seems like some people might use weed to relax from the stress of their symptoms. But if it ends up making the voices or paranoia stronger, it can be more harm than help. It is a tough cycle. Personally, I think it is important for people with schizophrenia, or who have a family history of it, to be extra careful with weed and talk to a mental health professional if they are unsure. It is not about judging anyone’s choices, just staying safe and informed. -

Russia’s economy is doomed
600 dead in one go at this theatre 2 years ago. And, as been pointed out repeatedly, Ukraine's constitution does not allow a general election during wartime But neither of these fit into your preconceived narrative of putin = good man -

Jeju Air Flight from Bangkok Skids Off Runway at Muan Airport, 28 Dead
One of the posted video links clearly showed the starboard engine spitting out flames as it flew overhead. So that and the verbal calls about bird strike seem to line up. Plane may have been then leaking fuel and the pilot decided to get on the ground rather quickly. Reports seem to say the pilot did one go around which seems reasonable as he tries to sort things out. Not sure why gear didn't come down. Maybe pilot decided not to lower the gear because of fear it would cause too much drag and with only one engine he preferred to try and maintain speed and less drag. And it does look like the plane did not go out of its way to touchdown as early as possible on the runway. But that is probably normal behavior as the pilots nominally wait until they cross the touchdown threshold. So looks like a confluence of bad things happened. I still don't like the VOR or VORTAC or whatever part of the ILS was so close to the end of the runway. I would think modern avionics could could process the offset if the thing was moved out of the way a bit. Some parts of the 737 are composite non metallic and may make the plane a bit more slippery on the ground whereas aluminum might splinter, dig into the runway etc..? -

From seed to fortune: The Chearavanont family’s billion-dollar rise
Sure, kudos where deserved, that's a lot of coin. But let's be honest, typically a transition from a local shop to what they are now is not achieved by being nice or compassionate, and not without a helping hand from existing gatekeepers. -

Yeah and I have a few quality screenshots of users of this site openly condoning this crime (and who would have been more than happy to send the unvaccinated to concentration camps). -

Yes, take her advice. I did hundreds of hours of online research and everything she says is spot on.
