Why is it important to get colorectal cancer screening?
It’s a slow growing cancer, usually, and if detected early, can be stopped. So, why not check? I know people who died from colon cancer. Totally unnecessary. Then again, maybe some of you have a death wish? -

Thailand's Constitutional Court to Decide on Move Forward Party's Dissolution on August 7
Reportedly the ruling said that the party posed a threat to the constitutional monarchy and national security by campaigning for the amendment of Section 112 of the Criminal Code. I may be naive but isn't drafting new bills and amending existing legislation actually supposed to be the role of political parties in parliament? There has never been anything in the constitution that says only certain clauses in statutory laws may be amended, while it is illegal to even propose amending others. Seems all very odd but ten I am not a legal expert. -

Move Forward Party dissolved, leaders banned for 10 years - video
The Constitutional Court of Thailand today announced a verdict to dissolve the Move Forward Party (MFP) over their efforts to reform the lese majeste law, also known as Section 112 of the Criminal Law, and ban the managing executives of the party for 10 years. In April, the Election Commission of Thailand (ECT) requested that the Constitutional Court consider dissolving the MFP due to its promotion of the reformation of Section 112 during last year’s General Election. The ECT argued that these reforms posed a threat to both the monarchy and the democratic form of government with the king as head of state. After five months of deliberation and rescheduling the verdict announcement, the Constitutional Court delivered its decision at 3pm today, agreeing with the ECT to dissolve the party. In addition to the dissolution, the court imposed a 10-year ban on 11 members of the party’s executive teams who held positions between March 25, 2021, and July 31, 2024. The list of affected party members includes: The first party leader – Pita Limjaroenrat The first Secretary-General of the party and the second party leader – Chaithawat Tulathon The Party Treasurer – Nateepat Kulsetthasith The Party Member Register – Nakornpong Suppanimitr The Northern Executive Committee – Padipat Suntiphada The Southern Executive Committee – Somchai Fangchonlajit The Central Executive Committee – Amarat Chokepamitkul The Northeastern Executive Committee and second Secretary-General of the party – Apichat Sirisoontron The Eastern Executive Committee – Bencha Saengchantra The Labour Department Executive Committee – Suthep U-on The Executive Committee – Apisit Promrit These 11 members are now banned for 10 years from serving as MPs, forming a new political party, joining the executive management team of any political party, or participating in the establishment of a new political party. Following the dissolution, the MFP now has 142 Members of Parliament (MPs), and each MP must seek a new political party within 60 days to avoid losing their status. They would also have to select the new party leader to work during their transitions. One MFP MP, Jirat Thongsuwan, told the media recently that an assistant to a minister asked him to join his party for 30 million baht. Parliament also has to select a new Vice President of the House of Representatives as the former Vice President Padipat was one of those banned. The official MFP Facebook account shared a video after their dissolution with a caption that said, “In this world, there are some things that cannot be destroyed and cannot perish but will continue to grow without stopping. A new journey has begun. Let’s move forward together, people.” Deprose Muchena, Senior Director at Amnesty International slammed the court’s decision. “The Constitutional Court’s ruling in favour of dissolving the Move Forward Party is an untenable decision that reveals the authorities’ complete disregard for Thailand’s international human rights obligations. “Dissolving the party merely for advocating legal reforms constitutes a serious violation of the rights to freedom of expression and association against lawmakers who were simply performing their duty of proposing laws. “The authorities’ relentless harassment of the political opposition represents a stark contradiction, as Thailand has publicly committed to global leadership on human rights by applying for a seat at the UN Human Rights Council. Thai authorities must urgently reverse the dissolution and stop weaponising laws to intimidate and harass critics, human rights defenders and opposition politicians.” By Petch Petpailin Photo by Sakchai Lalit via AP Source: The Thaiger 2024-08-07 - Cigna offers a variety of health insurance plans designed to meet the minimum requirement for medical treatment coverage, with benefits reaching up to THB 3 million.

Which members do you think are Russian/Chinese/NK etc bots?
Man, I think it is not a good idea to appear in a boxing ring without any preparations. These guys - Americans - they have a journalist or media company in every little wickiup of this world. This is a very impressive power which allow them to decide what is true and what is not. Even in Russia, they control almost everything. Do you think RT is telling you the truth? Haha. Margarita Simonian studied in USA and in fact is an US foreign agent. To bring order to our own country(ies) first would be much better idea. -

Using an overseas Debit Card to minimise paying tax for those of us staying over 180 days
That's not true, it's equally as relevant, the existence of a DTA doesn't negate tax, it merely restructures who the tax is paid to and at what rate -

Thailand's Constitutional Court to Decide on Move Forward Party's Dissolution on August 7
I have removed an inappropriate post. Reminder of rule 4. You will not express disrespect of the King of Thailand or any member of the Thai royal family whether living or deceased. You will not criticize the monarchy as an institution. Speculation, comments or discussion of either a political or personal nature are not allowed when discussing His Majesty The King of Thailand or the Thai royal family.- 1

Quality Inner Tubes?
Tubeless on a spoked rim is a bit difficult but apparently not impossible. 70/90-17 front and 80/90-17 rear tubeless on mag wheels should be ok on a wave. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/i4708479133-s19411610796.html Air that we breath contains 78.08% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.03% carbon dioxide, and small amounts of other trace gases.. I'll continue pumping up my tyres with good ole "air" -

Did a what? A worm? Insulting again. Try addressing Walz and his weird theories about male periods and 6yo trans. That is creepy. This guy would get smashed in other countries for such extreme views.
