URGENT: What kind of Beer is Best just after multiple Tooth Extraction?
Wait.... I AM back, as you can plainly see! All I can do is to drink what is at the local SEVEN, for now. But...then... What about NEXT TIME? I still have one more extraction to go.... Then, the implanting process shall begin. Implants, if done right, will take about ONE YEAR. I just hope I will live that long. Would it not be the epitome of irony to have the implants installed, and then die before screwing on the prosthetics ? -

Love UGreen cables. Not the cheapest but they work every time, are durable and are very pretty. -

22 August Small Aircraft Crash in Chachoengsao.
I'm an experienced pilot. A stall appears most unlikely. The plane was in the cruise, so would have been well above the stall speed. The weather was also apparently good, so no weather factors, e.g. turbulence. Even if it did stall, the pilot was very experienced so it's difficult to imagine that a stall couldn't be recovered from 5,000ft. Cessna Caravans are turboprops, so the engine (and the flight management thereof) are very reliable. The plane in the video did not appear to be spinning so any unusual attitude recovery should have been more straightforward than if it was. I, of course, assume that the flight controls were not incapacitated in any way. Even if they were, planes don't naturally fall vertically like a dart - they will naturally pull out of a dive due to increased lift with increased speed even without pilot input. I am waiting for more information from the investigation. -

JD Vance is one of the least popular vice-presidential picks this century
Both of them served their country. Both of them also serve their country through the ballot box, so I am not sure why you are disrespecting people who seek elected office, irrespective of their political journey. Of course, when in office, some of them, like those in the military at times, are disputable, but that should diminish their original ambition to serve their country. Lots of people serve their country; in the military, in the police, in the fire services, in government service. Those who juggle a civilian life and a military life often make the greatest sacrifice; modern Western militaries are utterly dependant now on reservists, which allows a surget capacity during war. I suspect Hamel only joined up to take advantage of free college education, courtest of the taxpayer, and made sure he didn't have to do a role that was too risky, nor demanded much time away from home. He got to stay for over 3 years in North Carolina. Nothing wrong with that; everyone eats at the trough when they can. Both completed their enlistments, one went before a medical board to appeal his reenlistment after completing a 20 year enlistment. One managed 6 months out of 4 years in Iraq, taking photos of birthday cakes and handshakes, when their fellow service people were doing 12-18 month tours, sometimes back to back with Afghanistan. One was told about sucking penises by his Grandmother when he was 8 years old during a discussion about whether the 8 year old was a homosexual; a remarkable and brave confession. Does he continue such open sexualisation with his children? And does he determine if his children are homosexual or heterosexual at age 8? One spent working career as an educator, but I do understand people who hate educators because education is where people with elite skills learn their skills, and go on to get PhDs, find cures for cancer, design rocket ships, invent crypto, because these are things people wit elite skills can do. Some people without elite skills hate the "elites". That job as a geography teacher followed working in a factory, assembling tanning beds of all things (Trumpf; take note). One had a little bit of VC fintech experience. And that person, investors couldn't actually recall what he did at Revolution. One got into the SPAC fad. Its not hard work really, going from meeting to meeting watching the coffee intake. https://www.axios.com/2024/07/16/jd-vance-venture-capital-career https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/aug/08/jd-vance-financial-investments https://finance.yahoo.com/news/know-j-d-vance-vc-114105413.html I wouldn't over egg his business skills. VC is also fully embedded in the government trough. His activity with AmplifyBio is interesting; this is a company into cell therapy, manipulations of the genome to address disease. Which is part of what all these anti-Vaxxer fret about. AmplifyBio is primarily a CRO; they undertake contract work for other clients, such as animal testing (mostly beagles and monkey it seems, with the animals euthanised when the contract is over). They work with stem cells; it has a policy of not asking its clients if the cell lines they are working with are embryonic or not. Which seems at odds with Hamel's statements that he is 100% Pro-Life. Basically he invested in a company that profited from what some would call dead babies. Obviously not, if there is money to be made. I have zero issue with this kind of research. Interestingly, this company seeks applicants from the “LGBTQIA+ community” and says it forbids discrimination based on “gender expression” and even “citizenship status.” Also, the company requires COVID-19 vaccination. He's got a bit of a thing about this gene therapy research, because he's also invested in Kriya Therapeutics, which has a pipeline covering diabetes, eye disease and neurodegenerative disease, not based on stem cell transplantation, but using virus vectors to manipulate the genome. For this, they have to conduct experiments with one of the cold viruses, hopefully not affecting virulance. -

Which gutter do you recommend from your myriad of exploits? I've found some good ones, but I'm always open to new suggestions. -

First time getting scrutinised at Don Mueang Immigration as APEC CARD holder
The APEC business card only permits a 90 day stay on each entry. None. Stick with the APEC card. -

No, concerning CCTV cameras. I used Panasonic CCTV cameras, back in the day, when I needed them. All were connected via Ethernet, from my recollection. -

Anyone else tired of being followed around malls?
Never. They would die of boredom. I have lived in Mexico, India, China and now Thailand. The only people that ever followed me were English students looking for an interview for their classes. It is never a problem. -
