Obviously if you are having persistent difficulties it would be the best idea to consult a doctor. But the obvious things like diet, exercise, exposure to light are also important to take care of. There lots to read on the subject but the self-evident underlying truth is that if you want your...
The other difference with the Disney(s) is that they are hugely visited by foreign tourists. At one point this outbreak was being blamed on foreign visitors, though the anti-vac mob of course have tentacles everywhere. When we prepared to move to the states in 2012 we were required by the US...
Some points: 1. The government don't regulate media in the UK. Media producers largely self-regulate and fund independent regulatory panel and process. In UK certain standards are agreed such as no overt sex or extreme violence prior to 9pm or when the target audience is anticipated to be...
^ That's assuming BW has made that decision himself. And that's a leap considering the main potential consequences for this controversy are commercial ones for his network: ratings, sponsors, ad revenue sales. I would guess the underlying truth is likely to be that he has been asked to step...
Cracked open a bottle of Brew Dog Tokyo with a friend this afternoon. I like strong beer but this takes the cake - 18.2% abv. The smell and first taste is a bit in your face but then there's a good bit of complex flavor in there. I've tried some Westvleteren 12s in the past and the overall...
There was a bunch of these anti-vac tinfoil hatters in the UK, and predictably there was also a resurgence in previously rare childhood diseases. This chap was the cause of some of it and got banned from medicine as a result. In a ideal world the folk that cause these outbreaks should bear the...
Is being called a liberal today the modern equivalent of being called a communist during the cold war? I don't really understand the reference as I don't really have a political horse in any race, nor am I a viewer of BW. And nor am I American. But in a discussion of whether lack of standards...
That's a cute dog. In the UK there is a vogue for the 'jug' which is jack russell (the dog not the guy from Great White) crossed with a pug. I see you can also mix them to get a chug, bug, buggle or chuggle.
The particular problem as I see it is that Choudary was the only Muslim represented, and yes it absolutely had the affect of being divisive and led to people thinking he represented all Muslims. I agree it's a leap, but it is not me that was making it. You may read for yourself here if you wish.
Maybe the market will find a solution to this issue. As a side note, didn't Chris Kyle also get caught out with some stories about Katrina? What does seem more of a concern is stuff like Fox using Anjem Choudary as their point of reference for the world's 1.8billion Muslims. Following this...
I think the moral issue really is if/how he sought to profit from his tale by repeating and embellishing it. I looked of wiki last night and this guy is apparently paid $10million a year. A portion of that value is down to his credibility and the authenticity he adds to the news. Part of that...
^What is considered the most accurate national news broadcaster in the USA? I understand and expect biased reporting, but I really struggle finding reporting that is of good quality. F/ex when the Charlie Hebdo attack took place FOX were vilified for Steve Emerson's nonsense about Birmingham...
For getting your own belongings into the US there is a form you fill out which includes a declaration that items are your own personal property and that they have been in your personal possession for at least one year. Look it up or contact customs (EDIT: I did it for you below) Remember that...
There's no mentality about it, that's the thing. I would absolutely fill my house with guns if it could be proven to have a positive safety benefit. I'm using the data to 'prepare for the worst', so taking the least-less-safe course of action. Here's some stats on a conservative website that...
My son was such a massive fan of Sharktopus when he was 3. As he was just learning about animals he pretty much thought that a sharktopus was a real thing. We watched that film literally every day for months.
I think as a customer taking advantage of the wonderful world of the internet, you kind of assume the risk of something not being to your liking, and it is incumbent on you to do your research. If you are buying something new or used at huge% discount then the least you can do is get off your...
Totally agree, but when you're a relatively new customer and there is a statement to the effect that occasionally items are removed from the library due to licensing and then you see literally an entire genre disappear (which i'm aware is likely tied to one distributor) it does leave you feeling...
