Where did cranberry sauce come from for an English Christmas dinner?
The US, same for turkeys which are also immigrants.
The roast potatoes come from South America.
My favourite christmas meal is the one you get on the plane while flying somewhere warm on Dec25.

Their findings revealed a clandestine drug trafficking operation resulting in 15 casualties and the modification of fertilizer bags into backpacks, concealing 2,040,000 pills of Type 1 narcotics (methamphetamine).
On 12/18/2023 at 2:47 AM, webfact said:It led to the confiscation of approximately 1.7 million methamphetamine pills.
Did the other 300000 escape?

The challenge will probably be rebutted on the basis that the extended hours will be great for the economy. The bars sell more drink, the hospitals get more customers and the repair shops are kept busy. It can also generate money for the police in fines/non-fines.
Case dismissed....

It makes no sense to only have charging stations in BKK and nowhere else and most of the Tesla chargers outside the city will be rarely used.
Home chargers are a good idea but IIRC, the USA electrical supply is 115 volts and 60 Hz and Thailand is 220/230 volts and 50 Hz.
Presumably when you buy your Tesla you can buy a genuine home charging kit, but only from Tesla, and you will need a Tesla tech to install it at home for you. That won't come cheaply either.
And even if you can get over all that, it may not thrill owners to find that it takes something like 27 hours to fully charge from a 7.3kWh home charger (unless you just happen to have a 3 phase connector when it can be reduced to a mere 19 hours). Those using a normal mains socket can expect to wait over 3 days.... Hilarious.

I'm not convinced that Alexa is always listening. Until one uses the word "Alexa" its microphone is not activated.
Well, here's a conundrum...... how does it realise you have said "Alexa" if it isn't active?

Puffin Crosswalks? Pelican crosswalks? I'm a geezer and have never heard of such things.
Nearest thing I know of is Chuck Berry's duck walk
Pelican and Puffin crossings are British ideas.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puffin_crossing
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelican_crossing
There is also Toucan crossings (where bicycles and pedestrians can use - Two-can use) and Pegasus crossings (shared between pedestrians and horses) where there is a button 2m high for mounted riders.
A veritable menagerie of crossings....

This is actually a serious problem, begun years ago with Photoshop. Nothing we see now is necessarily real, and I see no positives in that at all. None. Just because we can do something doesn't mean we have to.
It started many years before Photoshop. Pictures of the Loch Ness monster from the 1920s and way back to the Cottingly fairies of 1917. While Photoshop may have made it easier, it only refined what had been going on for many many decades.

It would be interesting to know the real facts here, MFP just happened to be the the party with the most votes so if their members can be discredited that would be convenient for the current governing party for the next election??
Indeed. And the ruling party can now try to get the MF party banned, thus eliminating the main opposition. Its worked in many other countries...

If you were going to start a gang dedicated to crime it does seem a bit silly to call it the Outlaws. They should really consider something a bit less obvious like The Taxi Drivers or The Police.

This sounds very ambitious. Perhaps they should start with some vigorous shuffling first.

According to the 2021 census, the UK has 18.6% of its population over 65, so the problem is not exactly unique to Thailand.

Drunk British suspect refuses arrest and tries to injure Thai police

I imagine they just 'cow-tip' him. Once on his back he is helpless and can't get up again.
Its that or wave a couple of dozen pies in front of his face to mesmerise him.
