Does crushing up pills change their effectiveness?
These are pills for my dog. She gets a skin allergy in the summer. She has one pill per day divided into half in the morning and half in the evening.
In the morning I give her half the pill wrapped in a bit of cold meat. This week its liver sausage. I then starve her all day as my sister visits so we can have dinner together.
She has been volunteering to give the dog the other half pill hidden in her bowl of dog food. I would've just put the pill on top, pushed it in a bit and covered it. So the dog should eat it in the first mouthfull.
But she told me yesterday that she crushes the pill into powder and sprinkles it over the dog food before giving it one more mix to hide it. -

At least Boris has seen through Trump’s Peace Proposal
From a post on X
Boris Johnson @BorisJohnson
"Putin indiscriminately butchers more Ukrainian civilians, killing and injuring 100 in Kyiv including children. And what is his reward under the latest peace proposals?
1. The right to keep sovereign Ukrainian territory he has taken by violence and in breach of international law.
2. The right to control Ukraine’s destiny by forbidding Nato membership
3. The lifting of sanctions against Russia
4. An economic partnership with America.
5. The chance to rebuild his armed forces for the next attack in a few short years’ time.
As for Ukraine - what do they get after three years of heroic resistance against a brutal and unprovoked invasion? What is their reward for the appalling sacrifices they have made - for the sake, as they have endlessly been told, of freedom and democracy around the world?
Apart from the right to share their natural resources with the United States they get nothing.
What is there in this deal that can realistically stop a third Russian invasion? Nothing.
If we are to prevent more atrocities by Putin then we must have a long term, credible and above all properly funded security guarantee for Ukraine - a guarantee issued by the UK, the US and all western allies."

Trumpski is scheduled to visit our wonderful country, meet the King, PM and address our democratic Parliament. It would be much more in the realms of sanity to invite Vladimir Putin, a man of great experience, power and intelligence, than that dictatorial, nutty, vandalising old tosspot. IMO its disgusting.

When Zelenskyy visited Washington, he was berated by Vance for being disrespectful for not wearing a suit, as was being worn by Trump, Vance et al.
When Vance is in India, meeting the Indian Prime Minister Modi, will he (Vance) be wearing a khadi kurta so that he doesn't appear disrespectful to the Indian peoples? -

There is a case to be made for higher levies on imports.
America needs to rebuild its industrial base, it can’t always be reliant on its main geopolitical adversary for a vast range of tech and consumer goods, and it needs to bring production back onshore.
Former President Joe Biden was trying to do all that with his huge range of subsidies, especially for microchips, and now Trump is pursuing the same goals, but with tariffs as the main tool instead.
It has become the new consensus in American economic policy, and, whoever is in charge, it is likely to stay in place.
The rest of the world will just have to get used to it.
The trouble is, the tariffs have been poorly planned, and badly executed.
They should have been announced a long way in advance so that companies had the time to reconfigure their supply chains.
For example, iPhones.
If it will take Apple until 2028 to build the necessary manufacturing capacity in the US, why not wait until then before the tariff is introduced?
If it will triple the cost of an iPhone, why not phase the tariff in gradually so that the market has time to adjust?
Perhaps most of all, talk to industries first to figure out what the impact might be instead of raising the tariffs overnight, and then suspending them after some frantic lobbying from a series of bewildered chief executives.
It remains to be seen whether Apple can build the factories it will need in the US.
As an insurance policy, at least, it will have to try. It can’t risk going through another week with huge tariffs hanging over it.
VACANCY.

Trump says U.S. might have to ‘take a pass’ on Ukraine-Russia peace talks.
Might this suggest the war couldn't be resolved in 24 hours?
