It is still incredible that the biggest chain of convenience stores in the country still doesn't except QR bank scan to purchase .Just a handful of shops across the country or in Bangkok accept.When you think little food stalls in the street accept bank scan but the massive CP owned corporation convenience store chain doesn't . -

Accident Truck Brake Failure Causes Major Manila Traffic Snarl
Photo courtesy of Manila Bulletin Manila grapples with gridlock today following a dramatic accident on one of its bustling roads. A lorry lost control, resulting in a multi-vehicle collision that has left drivers stunned and traffic at a standstill. The calamity began when the driver of a large truck experienced brake failure. Hurtling forward, the vehicle collided with a motorcycle and three other cars, eventually scraping the side of a bridge. The scene has become a focal point for local authorities as they work to untangle the aftermath. The Manila Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (DRRMO) was quick on the scene, coordinating emergency services and providing immediate medical support. Among those injured was a motorcyclist who bore the brunt of the collision's impact. Fortunately, other victims received prompt attention and were stabilised swiftly. The repercussions of the crash rippled out across the city. With the truck blocking key lanes, traffic jams stretched back for miles, transforming Manila's already congested streets into a gridlocked nightmare. Commuters and drivers faced frustrating delays, with travel times significantly extended as officials worked to clear the chaotic site. Initial investigations suggest a mechanical failure was at the heart of the incident. Eyewitnesses reported seeing the enormous vehicle barreling down the road, its driver wrestling for control as it careered into traffic. The lorry's driver is cooperating with the authorities as they piece together the exact sequence of events and assess the vehicle's mechanical condition. Manila, known for its resilience in the face of adversity, is already bouncing back. While the accident has undoubtedly caused disruption, local services have been exemplary in managing the crisis. Traffic officers, medical teams, and emergency services have been working around the clock to restore normalcy. This incident has sparked fresh debate about road safety and vehicle maintenance standards across the country. Truck owners and operators may face increased scrutiny, as calls grow for more stringent checks and balances to prevent similar incidents. Ensuring vehicles are roadworthy has never been more critical, given the potential dangers that lurk in routine commutes. For the residents and commuters of Manila, the accident is yet another reminder of the city's challenging infrastructure. Complaints about congestion and road safety have long simmered, and this latest event has only intensified public discourse. Social media platforms are awash with tales of delayed journeys and testimonials of those caught in the ensuing chaos. Authorities will no doubt be under pressure to provide answers and improve traffic conditions. As Manila moves to untangle today’s congestion, residents can only hope for swifter, safer journeys in the future. Today's incident acts as both a wake-up call and a testament to the quick response of the city's services. While the path to improvement may be long, the resilience and determination of Manila's population remain unbroken. The collision, although disruptive, highlighted the effective management of the city's emergency services. With a renewed focus on safety and maintenance, there is optimism that Manila will emerge with lessons learned and strategies refined. As the city regains its rhythm, attention now turns to preventing such incidents from recurring, ensuring roads are safe for all who travel them.

What's the point talking to anyone with less than a genius IQ?
Here are some possibilities: Eraserhead (1977, David Lynch) — While not strictly one-actor, it’s incredibly surreal, claustrophobic, and often set in a small apartment-like space. Lost Highway (1997, David Lynch) — Parts occur in a home at night, with disorienting identity shifts and a sense of unreality. The Tenant (1976, Roman Polanski) — Nearly all in one apartment, with the main character (Polanski himself) descending into paranoia and identity confusion. Repulsion (1965, Roman Polanski) — Mostly inside an apartment with Catherine Deneuve, where reality unravels in disturbing ways. Clean, Shaven (1993, Lodge Kerrigan) — Psychological descent, very minimal cast, unsettling atmosphere. Bug (2006, William Friedkin) — A paranoid two-person spiral in a motel room, but has that same intense, surreal, disturbing quality. -

Hospital deposits and insurance
Good information on how it can be stressful for older people, possibly with pre-existing conditions, thanks. I have no idea of his medical condition or symptoms, but I think we can assume that the procedure was after a referral by a cardiologist. You just don't walk in and ask for one because you self-diagnosed on the internet. A friend of mine, in his early 50's, retired military who lived a healthy lifestyle, was suddenly afflicted with extreme tiredness and lack of energy. After two days, he went for a check up and diagnosis. Initial tests revealed circulatory issues that warranted further examination. They performed a CT angiogram where he had two stents inserted. Discharged on the third day, right as rain. He didn't experience any chest pain before or after, only overwhelming fatigue.
