You don't know anything about managing diabetes, I mean Fruit Juice? Stick to a topic you actually know anything about. If I took your advice and stopped my insulin (I'm actually on an insulin mimicking hormone called lantus) I'd be in hospital within days. What I'm doing has worked, my numbers...

The undiagnosed numbers are certainly much higher than the 8.5 million quoted in the stats, it is quite common for people to completely ignore their health to the point of not seeking treatment at all. In New Zealand the rate of undiagnosed diabetics is estimated to exceed the number of...

Statistically speaking, this is probably not true, it depends how high a persons hba1c gets. Once the hba1 loop is disrupted and insulin senstivity drops it is very difficult to reverse. Mine got over 110, it took years of hard work to get it under 50 and I still require insulin. I workout 5...

The show will be fine. Female superheroes have been front and center in Marvel comics since the 60's, there is nothing new about it and nothing to do with wokeness. They seem to have gone for a compromise between the classic She-hulk look and the more muscular look in recent years. The CGI...

What is the current position in Turkey regarding EU accession, is there any consensus? Would some compromise be possible to allow Swedish and Finnish entry into NATO in return for EU accession? What benefits would adopting the Euro give to Turkey given the current situation with the Turkish...

Yeah good to see you back and in good health. It's amazing to see someone from the forums actually going to Ukraine and doing something worthwhile to help out, it's a great thing you've done. The rest of us keyboard warriors (with a couple of possible exceptions) can only admire from a distance...

The SC said: You are ignoring content by this member. Show ignored content I'm curious to see why this post is getting such heat, and I know I'm going to regret this but,.......click on the linky and,........oh for F*&^s sake, how can anybody think that? The Russians have been foxing this...

I was thinking more along the lines of a saboteur. This parade would have to be a target, and not just by Ukrainians, anti-putin Russians or even an inside job would be possibilities too. The chance to make a statement and embarrass the Putin regime would make the parade a highly attractive...

Imagine if the Ukrainians figure out a way of bombing the May 9 parade.

"Russia brings justice, peace and security....." I don't know how that guy can say that with a straight face. Mass murder, Mass rape and Mass looting of civilians is a strange way of bringing justice, peace and security. And I like the bit where the woman says "..we'll have to conduct a...

Correct. So either a foreign customer pays Gazprom for gas using USD/Euros, who then exchanges their USD/Euros for Rubles with the Russian central bank, or the foreign customer buys rubles from the Russian central bank with Euros/USD then settles its transaction with Gazprom in Rubles. Either...

It's probably more accurate to say there is no difference whether the payments are made in Rubles or Euros/USD, the only change it makes is the order in which the currency is exchanged between vendor (ie Gazprom) and the Russian central bank. Not that it matters, no 'unfriendly' country has...

You obviously don't follow international markets and don't have any understanding of the situation with the Ruble. Do you know what a thin trading market is? Or the effect of Russian capital controls on the value of the currency? And which countries do you believe are paying in Rubles?

So the brave Russian/chechen/jewish resistance fighters are waging a (defensive) special military operation against the Zionist/Bandera/Nazi/Satanist/Islamist/Nato war mongers from a non-existant country. Right, got it. And there have now been 3128 vehicles lost in accidents.

That's a lot of 'accidents'.

The latest 'accident' which was caused by a fire onboard the tank, all crew were successfuly evacuated. Russian authorities are investigating the cause of the fire. The tank was badly damaged and collapsed as it was being towed back to base during a storm.

Funny that, a Russian bloke I worked with was an ex-KGB colonel. Sounds more impressive than the reality, he was little more than an administrator, and not a very good one at that. If he was representative of the standard of KGB officers, their reputation would have far exceeded their...

It looks like a Neptune missile has hit directly where the last row of Sandbox/Vulcan missiles are, which must have caused at least one but probably more of them to detonate. The reoports that the Moskva immediately listed appear to be accurate. The design of the Slava class has an obvious flaw...

So the Russians aren't threatening the NSA satellites I guess because actually hitting them would be an act of war, they must figure threatening civilian Starlink sats doesn't cross that line.

Another preposterous lie from the Russians, and a blatant one at that. So does that mean the OKO and newer EKS satellites don't exist? Or that GLOSNASS isn't used for navigation of Russian bombers, missles and other assets, or that SIGINT satellites like 'Luch' aren't in service?
