Four monks including an abbot at a temple in Phetchabun province's Bung Sam Phan district tested positive for methamphetamine on Monday, district official Boonlert Thintapthai told AFP.
The monks have been sent to a health clinic to undergo drug rehabilitation, the official said.
Police in San Francisco could get the ability to deploy potentially lethal, remote-controlled robots in emergency situations if supervisors of the politically Democratic city grant permission Tuesday in a highly watched board vote.

They were actual doctors that "studied" medicine. Now all we have are big pharma and other healthcare pimps! ie "stats, data, graphs, curves, peer reviewed etc.?"

Whatever happened to calling it "Zom'pocalypse"?
I always find it weird when something is named one thing, but then the media turns around and changes the name due to their backers saying so. SARS Corona Type-2 became "Corona Virus" then Covid. Nobody really questioned why either. I often wonder if there might be some kind of cultic reasoning behind these mysterious name changes.
I still wonder what happens to a person that is born to a dead or nonexistent parent. Without getting all "New Age" about the idea, doesn't it need a little life force from both male and female to make a person whole when born? So, if one of the people doesn't exist anymore, like being dead or just frozen sperm, how does the child being born compare to a person born from two living RNA donators?
I once asked my Rabi friend about that, and he said he doesn't know. He guessed that it would make a generation of Golems, but then he got this sick look and realized that this exact situation is happening every day. Now when I see him, I might ask him if he found out anything, and I only get a head shake and sad look over it. I don't bug him about it, I just ask every now and then when he tells me about certain things.
That's the short version, it gets much more complicated based on a ton of factors. One such factor, at some point many from the Animal Kingdom try their hand at being Human, learning to individuate and become self-reflective, attempting to rise up the progression. It's a poor comparison, but imagine your dog leaving dog body and jumping to baby, how mentally prepared would that animal be for earth? Now, torture it at birth, and strip it of ANY loving guidance at all after it arrives.

I was just reading that same thread and wondered if someone would bring it up here. Not sure if you saw nerbot's reply about 5 by 5. Five vehicles at 5:22am. Should we entertain this is a possibility?
