The Scientists and Spies Who Questioned Covid’s Origins
The problem with many of the lab leak proponents is that they're often political partisans (or right-wing echoing news outlets) who continue to advance their theory pretty much in the absence of any real pertinent facts to directly support it. I see the nonsense Republican-led U.S. House subcommittee investigating the origins of COVID issued its final report earlier this month concluding COVID came from a lab leak. But as the following Science journal article on the Republicans' report notes: "The committee’s 520-page report, released on 2 December, offers no new direct evidence of a lab leak, but summarizes a circumstantial case, including that the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) used NIAID money to conduct “gain-of-function” studies that modified distantly related coronaviruses. [emphasis added] ... Democrats on the panel released their own report challenging many of their colleagues’ conclusions about COVID-19 origins. They conclude, for example, that the viruses studied at WIV with EcoHealth funding were too distantly related to SARS-CoV-2 to cause the pandemic." https://www.science.org/content/article/house-panel-concludes-covid-19-pandemic-came-lab-leak That final conclusion reported above is one that Dr. Fauci and other scientists have repeatedly reinforced. "The definition of “gain of function” covers both general research and especially risky experiments to “enhance” the ability of potentially pandemic pathogens to spread or cause severe disease in humans. Fauci stressed he [in rejecting Republicans' claims] was using the risky experiment definition, saying “it would be molecularly impossible” for the bat viruses studied with EcoHealth’s funds to be turned into the virus that caused the pandemic."

Introduction to Personal Income Tax in Thailand
I would like to get my understanding of "First In, First Out" confirmed in the context of a U.S. account where accessible and non-accessible to Thai tax is MIXED. The account is used to transfer funds into Thailand. I will do this by example. Deposit of 10K non accessible into the U.S. mixed account. Deposit of 15K accessible into the U.S. mixed account. Deposit of 20K non accessible into the U.S. mixed account. Transfer of 12K into Thailand. Only 2K of that 12K accessible as the "first in" 10K was non accessible. Transfer of 15K into Thailand. The remaining 13K of the 15K accessible plus 2K non accessible. Does this example reflect a correct understanding of "First In First Out" or not? If not, what am I getting wrong? -

Ramble On!
if it's within the rules then go for it! I just don't see the point in it personally, not when there is the real thing just 500m down the road! -

Should Motorbikes be allowed to drive on the sidewalk?
When God said, “Let there be light!” Bob & Digger with their baseball bat and broom handle said, “Say Please !! Some kids pee their name in the snow. Bob & Digger can pee their name's into concrete !! When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night he checks his closet for Bob & Digger with their baseball bat and broom handle !! Bob & Digger once hit a horse on the chin with their baseball bat and broom handle. Its descendants are now known as giraffes !!
