Europe Braces for Escalation: Germany Mobilizes NATO Troops Amid Putin's Nuclear Threats
I'm afraid I wasn't interested in your idea on how to solve the conflict, and you well know it since I've asked the same question several times now. Ukraine isn't willing to cede territory without a good fight, and that's true of pretty well all nation states. Give me a good reason why they should? Russia is willing to nuke the world if they don't gain territory, and you appear to not to be critical of that in the slightest? Don't be vague. In their sights how, if not a ground invasion. Please be specific, in their sights has a broad scope. What did Russia fear so much they were compelled to invade a state? -

I wouldn't mind if all those YouTubers shut up. Had to endure a conversation this morning, about how fascinating Msphere is on YouTube - must see! -

What's the best white paint to reflect sunlight radiation (heat)?
You need plywood with foil on one side to block re-radiation of infrared. Foil side must be facing interior and only exposed to dead calm air to minimize convective heat transfer. Ideally, this would on the inside face of the roof as well if there is not an apartment above yours. Actually, the better location for the foil is the inside face of the window glazing. Then you don’t need any painting at all. Install the noise absorbing plywood mass so that there is an air gap to the glazing. Caulk the gaps around the edges to block the significant sound leakage through cracks. You must use thick , stiff plywood to get enough mass and avoid a diaphragm effect ( think speakers). Probably 15 or 20 mm with thickness higher for longer spans. Also, you can screw on a strong-back stiffener , maybe 50x50 mm if both dimensions of the glazing are long. if you paint the outer face of the plywood, look for a white coating designed to be applied to flat roofs. Otherwise , any white paint with high TiO2 content. Maybe it would be easier to move ? -

Elon Musk Sparks Controversy, Calling the UK a ‘Tyrannical Police State’
Twitter wasn't exactly a gold mine when he bought it. It has always been a failed business. It is difficult to put a value on the amount of power he has acquired from that purchase. Either way to say he failed to manage it is a bit off the mark. -

Do you always use a Condom?
This has to be one of the most ridiculous troll topics I’ve come across on AN. A group of middle-aged geezers in Thailand debating the pros and cons of using condoms? If anyone here still isn’t clear on this subject, it might be time for you to pull the plug and check out now. -

Dr recommendation for prostate radiation and cost
Ask your GP for referrals to radiation oncologists with good prostate cancer experience in your area. Costs? That's going to depend heavily on your insurance and the specific treatment plan. -

Teen and Stepfather Clash with Knives in Pattaya, Both Injured
That's rubbish. Libya has 140+ individual tribes and within those tribes and at any given time, they were feuding with each other. The feuds could be bloody and petty. Ghadaffi came to power in a military coup in 1969. From that time until his own overthrow, he suspended fair judicial process and forbid free elections. He ruled with an iron fist and publicly executing political dissenters.His government abolished private property ownership other than one dwelling, nationalized retail and manufacturing and restricted access to bank accounts, seizing depositor savings to fund his grandiose schemes. This is why there were multiple uprisings. -

Is Weed Prohibition Over?
Beyond CP, I don’t believe any of Thailand’s major Chinese-Thai business families, those controlling the country’s largest industries such as alcohol, life insurance, tourism, hotels, shopping malls, residential real estate, duty-free, concrete, steel, etc are interested in the cannabis business. These families are typically conservative and likely opposed to cannabis altogether. As for the powerful figures in uniform, those interested and involved with the cannabis trade are likely the same ones already tied to Thailand’s broader illicit drug industry. Many of them are likely dealing in large-scale cannabis operations and are mainly "exporting". However, I doubt they have any interest in entering the local retail cannabis market. With prices dropping to ฿20–฿30 per gram, there’s little profit left in retail. The domestic cannabis market has become a highly competitive, fragmented business where each player is only carving out a small slice of the pie. Given this, I see no reason why the dynamics of the industry should change. It will likely continue as it is, as any changes to the current laws wouldn’t benefit anyone. Moreover, there’s little appetite to revert to policies that would once again fill jails with cannabis-related offenders. The only group truly missing out is the government, which had hoped to eventually benefit from taxation and regulation. However, it’s too late for them to insert themselves into the equation now. As I mentioned earlier, the window of opportunity for the government to get in on the game has closed.
