So, while Biden has improved many things, he will only be remembered as old. -

Who lives without family?
You need an Smartphone with Optical Image Stabilisation. Even a second hand iPhone will have it. I bought a small one, still fully functional, for the equivalent of around 1200 baht. -

How many times a day do you pee and what it says about your health
Peeing more often when the weather is cool is a biological response. Urine is a liquid "heat sink" which requires the body to divert blood to the bladder to keep it warm and maintain core body temperature. Which is also why during cool/cold weather you may find yourself cold and shivering and dreading having to get up to go pee - but then finding yourself feeling warmer (and sleeping better) after you've peed because the body no long has to heat that extra liquid so it can divert more warm blood to other parts of the body. That was a very valuable lesson learned early in my Army career. Ease off on the liquid intake in the evening and take a whiz before crawling into the sleeping bag - even if you don't really feel the urge to. And doctors have debunked the "you need to drink 8 glasses of water (2 liters) per day years ago. They recommend that you "drink when you are thirsty" and not because you think you have to. And when you get to 50+ you should probably have a prospate test every year. They don't do the "rubber glove and vaseline" tests anymore (in most places) as they can simply do a blood and/or urine test. The prostate produces that fluid that mixes with the sperm from your testicles to make "semen". It's what gets your little swimmers up the pipe and into the race. If you aren't having as much sex as you used to, your prostate wants to work, but it can't because there's no need to "make the milk". This is probably what causes prostate problems (and prostate cancer) in men as the organ falls into disuse and the body starts thinking it's an "unwanted organism" in the body and tries to get rid of it by attacking it, leading it to become enlarged - or developing cancer. About 15 or so years ago there were 2 medical studies produced, one in England and one in Australia, dealing with prostate issues. One looked at men in various occupations and the frequency they had sex. Accountants, construction workers, athletes, priests and so on. I recall that it was the men in occupations like "priest" or other occupations where men didn't get a lot of sex were also the ones more likely to develop prostate cancer. The other study asked men how often they had sex (masturbation and intercourse or - whatever). Again, the men who admitted to sending their little seamen off to battle more often were less likely to develop prostrate problems than the people who admitted to rarely busting a nut, even when they were alone. So the bottom line was, the more often your prostrate does the job it's supposed to do, the less likely it is to develope into a medical problem. But if you "ain't gettin' any" and can hardly even see your twig and berries, let alone give them a good <deleted> now and then, there's a good chance you could develop problems as you get older. And if you find yourself having a really urgent need to pee quite often - but it's coming out in a dribble that forces you to stand over the bowl (or up against the urinal) - you may want to pop into a local clinic for a blood test. Those little clinics are scattered all over the place and they can take the (blood/urine) samples and send them to a lab for analysis. If you know where they are, you can go to one of the labs directly to do it. When I was working in Afghanistan I used to go to a lab in South Pattaya, just off #3 road, and get a full slate of tests done every year. They had a "package" deal where they tested you for almost everything that could be tested, including STDs, cholesterol levels, vitamin levels and things like liver and prostate function. And you'd get a little booklet with all the results noted and with any problems noted. (The only negative result I ever had was my LDL cholesterol levels were usually at the "upper end" of the healthy range, bordering on entering the danger zone.) But seeing this thread, I'm thinking maybe it's time I go get another set of tests done. But you can just get tested for the one thing if that's all you are concerned about and want to save a few baht. -

Thai schools to shift lessons online amid severe air pollution threat
Where I am these people live in smoke. It doesn't seem to bother them in the slightest. Sure there's a burn ban on now and mostly has stopped but they still don't enforce even that. If they actually cared about smoke they would have had measures in place to stop it entirely for the duration of the year before it could accumulate to these levels. Even worse is many of these kids being taken out of school have the parents who are the ones burning. It's all a total clown show really. -
