I use metformin by direct use - diabetes type II. Losing weight is just additional bonus: from 110 to 90kg. Most significant is that you don't have to change diet - the only habit to change is to eat 5 times per day instead of 3 while keeping the same amount of food (lets say up to 2500 Kс per day).

There's a medication called metformin. Like ozempic and its analogs, it was originally developed for people with type 2 diabetes. It's well-known and proven for decades. The difference from ozempic injections is that it's taken one tablet a day. It's also practically free: a month's course costs $5 in my country. It has fewer side effects and limitations. For example, it can be taken by people with poor pancreatic health, and it doesn't cause facial wrinkles when losing weight; it doesn't cause the so-called "ozempic face." Despite its affordability, it should also be started only after consultation with a doctor, and it also requires regular blood sugar monitoring. My doctor prescribed monitoring every three months. Metformin is rarely advertised because it costs next to nothing and isn't protected by patents, having been in production for a long time. Of all the brand names, the most well-known is Glucophage-Long from Merck. I lost 20 kg in 6 months after starting metformin.

Hitler is also "not a case for few generations already", should we forget his crimes?

is it "nominally"??? at past 50 years British Crown General-Governors 4 times intervened into business of [not so] sovereign states within Commonwealth: 11 November 1975 → Australia → Sir John Kerr → Action: Dismissal of Prime Minister Gough Whitlam 25–29 October 1983 → Grenada → Sir Paul Scoon → Action: Requested and sanctioned foreign intervention; temporarily assumed executive authority; appointed advisory/temporary council 14–25 May & 23 September – 15 October 1987 → Fiji → Ratu Sir Penaia Ganilau → Action: Declaration of emergency; temporary assumption of executive powers July 1984 → New Zealand → Sir David Beattie → Action: Considered dismissal of Prime Minister Robert Muldoon Can you imagine: foreign citizen, appointed by foreign country to your country dismiss elected by you premier minister.

it is easy to check: translate to Russian via google and then you will get a lot of references, including videos... first time he said it at time of yearly "direct line with president" in December 2010 - mix of show and press conference: anyone may call to studio and ask him a question... typically it is like marathon - lasts 4+ hours... it was reply on question of Khirurg (en: Surgeon, nickname of quite famous here (then) rocker)

"Anyone who doesn't regret the collapse of the USSR has no heart. And anyone who wants to restore it has no brain." - Putin in 2010 and late: he likes to repeat that.

Well... taking in account what more than 50% are clients "just few days before their 60", it is depressing...

There's another reason why website visitors can't communicate directly with guides until they submit a request in the guide's calendar, and why all email is filtered by the dispatcher. About 30% of correspondence contains dick pics, asshole shots, and inappropriate offers. All of this is filtered, and guides never see these messages.

Looks like your reservation was made very shortly before your tour. Typically Siamroads receives reservation in 6-10 weeks before tour. Client via email receive contacts of guide as soon, as guide confirms tour (mostly within next 24 hours after reservation), and has time to communicate with guide before to pay, because Siamroads issues invoice 4 weeks before tour. Invoice must be paid 2 weeks prior the tour., so client has 4-8 weeks to communicate with guide before to pay. There are many "freeloaders" among backpackers and budget travelers. Fifteen years ago, Siamroads had a direct contact system with guides, and guides were overwhelmed with questions from website visitors who were gathering information for free but never booking tours. Then, at the guides' request, the system was changed: to ask a question, you now had to place a reservation in the guide's calendar. Please note: this is free—no payment is required at the time of booking—but at least it makes it clear when the client wants to use the guide's services. I read all of Siamroads' correspondence. 50% of the first questions are like this: "I'm planning a trip to Thailand in December, will you be my guide?" What can a guide say to that? "Yes, dear, I'll sit around all December waiting for you to arrive"? The need to place a tour request in the guide's calendar is precisely for this reason—it gives the guide a clear understanding of which city the tourist plans to visit and when. This is the minimum information a guide needs to tell a client whether a guide is available. The "place a request first, and then the guide will contact you" system has proven itself 200% effective. I'll emphasize again – placing a request is free. A request simply informs the guide when the client wants to use their services. There's another reason why communication with guides only occurs after placing a request. Some people like to plan their trips well in advance, sometimes up to a year in advance, while Siamroads has a 90-day planning horizon. Guides can't work with more than 30-40 clients simultaneously to plan a tour while also leading tours for current clients. Submitting a request in advance allows guides to limit communication to only those clients who will be traveling within the next three months, thus reducing the workload to a reasonable level.

Since EU isn't buyer of Russian goods anymore, he has no reason to care. I wrote yet in 2022 - by sanctions EU will shoot own legs: sanctions will cut tools for to control situation and will make strong union btw Russia and China, while EU can't control China because of heavy dependence on Chinese goods - first of all rare materials for any semiconductor manufacturing. ChatGPT:

To whom it may concern. Mac is still working as guide in Bangkok:

Correct. He can't call it war due legal limitation: for to call it "war" he should declare "war state", but he has no legal reason for it. By the way: Ukraine declared martial law in 2022, but still not declared "state of war".

I know it. But why you add there word "never"? Every my post was in line with current situation on a hour when it was posted.

Nope. I didn't. Look careful that tread in SGT. I gave URL above. Could you please find there "Russia would never invade Ukraine"? By the way in Jan 2022 Zelenskiy told the same https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-60174684 "Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has called on the West not to create panic"

Correct. But "state official" means any state person at time of state work - policeman, manager of state school, state caretaker for old people. And that article exists since 1991 - came to Russian criminal code from Soviet criminal code. And not just "disrespect comment" but comment should be linked to state position and state job.: you can blame policeman for his dirty car, but can't blame for his job in comments, you should use official channels to complain. Here is no laws specially "for president" like in Germany or Italy.

I'm generally amazed by Europeans (citizens) – before their very eyes, old lady bin Leyen and her puppet Kallas are beating the drums of war and threatening us with the Russian bear, with the goal of concentrating as much power and the former sovereignty of EU countries in their own hands as possible. Under this military march, unelected bureaucrats at the top of the EU are collecting hundreds of billions of euros from countries (and their citizens) – they're already approaching a trillion. And all this is being done under the scare tactic of "Putin will attack." And to make this lie believable, the news is fueling rumors and panic about "Russian drones" and "Russian MiGs," without providing a shred of evidence in either case.

So what? Criminal code is criminal code. Even if monarch is puppet or even clown like in UK. For example in 2011 in Denmark few Greenpeace activists were punished by such lese majeste article (§267 of the Danish penal code). Articles 490 and 491 of the Spanish criminal code govern "insults to the Crown". In 2020 12 individuals were punished.

Exactly. I many times already wrote here, on forum, what there is no freedom of speech in Russia and exists problems in courts, where prevailing accusatory bias, primarily because the defense is provided by cheap and free lawyers from the state. But now I'm talking about the hypocrisy and pretense of European authorities pretending that democracy is thriving in the EU... Well, yes, "democracy" in a region where half the countries are monarchies, where there are criminal codes for insulting someone whose privileges are simply inherited... It's ridiculous.

Look at facts: "War is a peace" (O., 1984) - EU created fund for to supply UA with weapon and ammunition and named it "Peace fund". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Peace_Facility Doublethinking - call own regime as democracy with freedom of the speech and at the same time implementing censorship and arresting people (like in UK) for posts and likes in Twitter and Facebook. How censorship is working here: they maintain list of forbidden pages (mostly related with drugs, explosive making and with methods of suicide), after Feb 2022 they implementing restriction on some Ukrainian and EU sites, but the directly call it censorship for the time of military operation. Maintained list is published officially. Anyone may use VPN and using VPN isn't forbidden here. At least Russia is honest and names things by real names, while in EU and UK is going non-stop Orwell festival.

The same. Some sites are restricted to visit. But here nobody declares it as a freedom and democracy like in EU. In EU Orwell is celebrating his "1984" masterpiece.

And remember: if you are living in EU or UK, European bureaucracy deciding what you will read and what you should know. They call it democracy.

One more example of British lie: real causalities are below 200K, and that is confirmed by BBC (I wonder why they saying truth?)

And again: zero proof. Russia has radar traceroute confirmed what Estonian airspace wasn't touched... Just one more lie from Western propaganda... All we know, what British "highly likely" means "it is lie, but we want you trust it"...
