Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
Excellent work by Ukraine. Russia had no clue it was taking on such heroes and warriors. Let the doubters sit in their ivory towers doubting. Ukraine is here to stay Ukraine Has Invented Its Own Precision Glide Bomb. It Could Become A Key Weapon For Strikes On Targets In Russia. Every day, Russian warplanes lob as many as a hundred KAB glide bombs at Ukrainian troops and cities. The 25-mile-range bombs, some as heavy as three tons, are among the most devastating weapons in Russia’s 30-month wider war on Ukraine—and a crucial factor in Russia’s advances in eastern Ukraine this year. Now Ukraine is preparing to fight back—with its own glide bombs. A recent video shot by the crew of a Ukrainian air force Sukhoi Su-27 fighter depicts an air force Sukhoi Su-24 bomber carrying a prototype gliding munition under its wing. Not content to lob American-made JDAM-ER and French-made Hammer glide bombs, the Ukrainians clearly intend to arm their jets with locally made bombs, as well. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2024/09/07/ukraine-has-invented-its-own-precision-glide-bomb-it-could-become-a-key-weapon-for-strikes-on-targets-in-russia/ https://archive.ph/baPg8 -

Can you defend yourself?
Living here I feel pretty safe although I use to pack a 9mm, under my motorbike seat, thinking twice I remove it and replace it with a short 6 inch blade under a panel on the bike. Today all that is gone my key is my deadly weapon my demeanor is always be aware I never carry more than what I can lose. I never give anyone a dirty look or get upset I dont look for trouble. Once a year I go home to the States S.F.the day I arrive my cousin hands me the only one left to my name 9mm, I take public transportation everyehere. You never know, just like the football rooKie Ricky Persawl? Goes into town wearing his rolex 17 boy shot him in the chest. -

Must Read Its Happening - Law to Tax Overseas Income Now in Progress
I was watching some young Aussie guy on YouTube renting a condo in Kuala Lumpur with a nice downtown view for around 20,000 baht a month. 2 bed 2 bath condo with nice facilities that would cost around 90,000 baht in Bangkok to rent. I really love Malaysian food quality over the served Thai slop and every time I went there everything was cheaper than here. I am considering this or back to Canada. Wifey is already looking for some jobs in Malaysia related to her field. -

Trump plays another losing hand......
More bad news for the convicted felon......and it couldn't have happened to a more deserving case!!! I should feel sorry for the rubes who bought into this, but I don't!!! Trump Media stock plunge has cost Donald Trump $6.4 billion in potential wealth Former US president Donald Trump’s shares in the parent company of his social media platform Truth Social have plunged in value in the weeks before he can sell them, a losing streak that has at least temporarily erased billions of dollars from his paper net worth. Trump Media’s stock has plummeted almost 70% to about US$17 ($27.53) - an all-time low since the merger was approved. At that price, Trump’s roughly 60% stake in the company would be valued around US$2 billion ($3.2b), over US$4 billion less than when the company publicly debuted. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/trump-media-stock-plunge-has-cost-donald-trump-64-billion-in-potential-wealth -

Schengen Visa Question
No, it was for Germany but the requirements are fairly common to the EU in general. The document checklist for Italy can be found here https://visa.vfsglobal.com/one-pager/italy/thailand/english/pdf/checklist_tourist_2024.pdf Note item 11. Your comment about easier embassies/consulates is a bit irrelevant, the main hurdle is the VFS staff. The VFS German office is at Chamchuri Square and handles some other countries but don't think Italy was one of them, not sure where that is. Chamchuri Square is relatively new and massive, a beaurocratic nightmare. With luck Italy may be one of the more established and smaller offices. As a historical note, some years ago the Germans had their own way of handling Schengen visa applications using software called Videx. The system was flawed in that it could not differentiate between EU family members and standard applicants. I reported the Bangkok German Embassy to SOLVIT and the EU commission ruled in my favour, the German embassy had to start accepting manual applications from family members of EU citizens. When I did the German visa earlier this year they were still using Videx in a modified form, but most other countries use a standard format for the application. -

Anyone tried Thai Sumigran sumatriptan/Imigran/Imitrex? 1/10 the price...hmm
By the way, a little off-topic but sharing with this group of migraineurs. I recently received some advice on meds to use for migraines from a Harvard Medical emergency doctor friend of mine. These are the treatments he used for his patients and also his migraneur wife. I ran these by another friend who is a neurologist and she says this is sound advice (with the only caveat being that some migraineurs are not so much struggling with how to abort their current headache, which the advice below focuses on, but rather have the problem of headaches coming back in subsequent days in a cycle, which the meds below do not address but also do not make any worse). I have not tried any of these (other than sumatriptan) and don't know which are available in Thailand, but thought the advice might be useful to this group. Be sure to do your research before trying any. ----------------------------------- BEGINNING OF QUOTE: On the migraines, yep, avoid caffeine, except that it can be an effective abortifacient. Here are the tools you should have in your medicine cabinet. All can be taken simultaneously with no safety risk. You should use injectable or nasal sumatriptan at the earliest sign of a migraine. Injectable sumatriptan is far more effective than the oral form. The nasal form is not as effective as the injectable form, but is much more effective than the oral form. So efficacy is injectable > nasal >>> oral. (Those are “greater than” signs.) Prochlorperazine (Compazine) is a fabulous migraine abortifacient. It can cause some people to feel jittery or have a weird cramp in some part of their body...this is NOT dangerous but can be frightening...this side effect is easily treated with diphenhydramine (Benadryl) [though it is NOT an allergy], so, often, we just go ahead and presumptively give a Benadryl tablet or ½ a tablet when we administer prochlorperazine. Take prochlorperazine 10 mg (perhaps with a half or whole tablet of Benadryl) at the earliest sign of a migraine. [Those of larger physical size e.g. 100kg] may need to take 20 mg of the prochlorperazine, and that’s fine, so don’t hesitate to repeat the 10 mg dose after 20-30 minutes if no effect. Metoclopramide (Reglan) is another fabulous abortifacient. The aforementioned side effects can occur as with prochlorperazine, though somewhat less commonly. Dosing is the same, and this medicine is so safe that it doesn’t even matter if you take both together. For clarity, it’s okay to take sumatriptan + prochlorperazine 20 mg + metoclopramide 20 mg + Benadryl, all at the same time. Of course you should figure out the lowest possible number of medications and the lowest possible doses, because we always want to avoid these chemicals, but I just want to be clear that I’d rather you take the above than have to go to the hospital and face that horror show. Caffeine and NSAIDs are very effective abortifacients, but you face the risk of rebound. For some people who get migraines infrequently, some caffeine and a couple Aleve tablets does the trick. When my wife feels a migraine coming on, I give her 10 mg of metoclopramide and 1-2 Aleve tablets, together with a diet coke if it’s not bedtime, and this is almost always curative...almost instantaneously...usually after 10-20 minutes. It is okay to take caffeine and NSAIDs together with all the other medicines (sumatriptan, prochlorperazine, metoclopramide, and diphenhydramine). It’s a rare migraine that doesn’t get crushed by this combination, though usually just one or two of these meds is needed. -
