  1. Past hour
  2. Spies should be executed... but the germans will probably spank these two and give them a pension.
  3. Looks a bit rough - almost like he has been sleeping in his car for the last few days!
  4. Hi, I'm the OP. I did not mention my wife nor anything about floors. I've not heard and read anything on polished concrete staining fairly easily but will keep it in mind.
  5. More of a troupe train... performers of many arts.
  6. Good, and you've achieved the impossible, a post which hasn't attracted the 'confused' emoji. Good luck to all concerned.
  7. Thaiger is a bottom feeding reporting outfit that is worse than the Daily Mail in England or National Enquirer in the US. Their reporting is awful, insensitive, replete with commentary in poor taste. Asean now will become a cesspool of garbage news.
  8. OMG they are not able to deliver the post normally...I would not trust Thailand Post for a dime
  9. Just wait til they start digging everything up. Imminent according to my source. Thais seems to have better news feeds than us
  10. That is highly provable, maybe she call him cheap Charrie
  11. Yes, that sounds more like a straight-forward crown. My root canal took 3 visits not including the final crown.
  12. Actually, older style compressors, motors what have you, can take 4 to 6 times full load at startup. This is an instantaneous value BUT if the motor doesn't have access to enough current from the supply, (more often than not due to cabling being too small and creating large voltage drop) they will sit on the start winding, never get going properly, and burn out.
  13. In a significant development for the legal proceedings surrounding former US President Donald Trump, a full jury has been sworn in for his historic criminal trial in New York City. Justice Juan Merchan confirmed the completion of the 12-person panel after the final member was selected, marking a pivotal moment in the high-profile case. Despite initial expectations of a prolonged jury selection process, the proceedings moved swiftly once Trump's legal team exhausted their challenges, paving the way for potential opening arguments as early as Monday. The trial, unprecedented in American history, revolves around a hush-money payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election, aimed at concealing an alleged extramarital affair with Trump. As Trump departed the court, he criticized the charges against him as "political" and decried the proceedings as unfair, garnering attention from media outlets covering the trial. However, the day's proceedings faced setbacks with the dismissal of two jurors previously seated on the panel. One juror expressed concerns about impartiality after external influences compromised her ability to serve effectively, while another was excused over suspicions of concealing a criminal history. These developments underscored the complexities of the jury selection process and the challenges inherent in ensuring a fair trial. Legal experts weighed in on the unusual circumstances surrounding the trial, highlighting the unprecedented scrutiny faced by those involved and the need for stringent measures to safeguard jurors' identities. The dynamics of the case have raised questions about the public pressure exerted on participants and the potential implications for impartiality. Throughout the day, efforts to identify impartial jurors continued, with a new group of potential candidates entering the courtroom. Despite the challenges, seven jurors were ultimately sworn in, with an additional juror appointed as an alternate. The search for additional standby jurors will continue, underscoring the meticulous nature of the selection process. The proceedings also saw Trump's legal team scrutinizing prospective jurors for any biases or preconceptions, with some individuals expressing negative opinions about the former president. Concerns were raised about a juror's past social media posts criticizing Trump, prompting her dismissal from the panel. Another juror was excused due to a personal connection to one of Trump's lawyers, highlighting the complexities of ensuring an impartial jury. As the trial moves forward, the completion of jury selection marks a critical milestone in the legal proceedings against Trump. With opening arguments on the horizon, the focus now shifts to the courtroom, where the fate of the former president will be decided by a jury of his peers. 2024-04-19 Source
  14. so when someone from AN moves to Thaiger it raises the IQ of both parties,
  15. I thought is was those guys seen at Charlottesville, in brown uniforms, carrying torches, waving swastikas flags, goose marching, giving their Nazi salutes and chanting ‘Jews will not replace us’ - and killing folk. Or at least I did until the then President declared ‘there’s good people on both sides’. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/08/nazis-racism-charlottesville/536928/
  16. Recent revelations regarding the infected blood scandal have unveiled a distressing chapter in medical history, shedding light on a clandestine world of clinical trials conducted on children in the UK during the 1970s and 80s. Shocking documents obtained by BBC News have uncovered a troubling reality where research objectives took precedence over patient welfare, resulting in catastrophic consequences for hundreds of individuals. These unethical trials persisted for over 15 years, ensnaring numerous children with blood clotting disorders and subjecting them to the risks of hepatitis C and HIV infections. Many families were unaware of their children's participation, and the majority of those enrolled tragically succumbed to their illnesses. The revelations underscore a disturbing pattern of negligence and exploitation within the medical community, as doctors recklessly administered contaminated blood products despite widespread awareness of the dangers. A critical shortage of blood products in the UK during the 1970s and 80s compelled authorities to import supplies from the US, where high-risk donors, including prisoners and drug addicts, contributed plasma tainted with potentially lethal viruses. Among these products was Factor VIII, a vital treatment for blood clotting disorders, notorious for its contamination risks. One survivor, Luke O'Shea-Phillips, shared his harrowing experience of being unwittingly enrolled in a clinical trial and subsequently contracting hepatitis C as a child. Documents revealed that he was deliberately administered the infected blood product for research purposes, without his mother's knowledge. Luke's story epitomizes the callous disregard for patient well-being that pervaded these trials, as vulnerable individuals were treated as mere "guinea pigs" in the pursuit of scientific advancement. Furthermore, revelations from Treloar's College near Alton, Hampshire, have unveiled a disturbing pattern of experimentation on haemophiliac boys, with little regard for their safety or consent. These vulnerable children were subjected to invasive trials, including placebo treatments, with devastating consequences. The toll of these experiments is staggering, with a significant number of pupils succumbing to HIV and hepatitis C infections. The complicity of medical professionals in these trials raises profound ethical questions, with experts condemning the lack of informed consent and substandard treatment protocols. Professor Emma Cave of Durham University and Professor Edward Tuddenham have criticized the blatant disregard for patient welfare, underscoring the urgent need for accountability and reform within the medical community. As the public inquiry into the infected blood scandal reaches its conclusion, survivors and their families demand justice and answers. The inquiry's findings are eagerly awaited, with hopes that they will provide closure and accountability for the egregious injustices inflicted upon innocent victims. The revelations serve as a stark reminder of the enduring importance of ethical medical practices and the imperative to prioritize patient safety above all else. 2024-04-19 Source
  17. Products such as this can change dramatically from model to model. For any decisive answer, best to quote the model number so any service information can be accurate.
  18. "There are a few exceptions. Trump could ask to be excused and waive his right to be present, but the prosecution could object"... then it becomes solely the judges decision whether to allow trump to waive his right to be present and overrule the "peoples" objection... why do you always stop short of a complete explanation? After all you are the wizard of all things... and know it all... please give us complete knowledge in the future... PLEASE
  19. Maybe they can address the annoying pop up ads covering up the pages on mobile display. It’s so annoying that I stopped coming to the pages and only read the summary page. I’m pretty sure Cigna and all the health insurance ads are going to remain as irrelevant as they were.
