So, you don't believe everything Trump said? Traitor! 1000% tariffs on you! You must obey The Donald!

Let's assume you are right. Does that mean the USA can just send a military plane to Columbia and dump everybody there? Or would it make sense to coordinate these actions a little?

But then, you never met me.

I don't think most Tesla customers support rightwing politics.

From above article: "The US president responded fiercely in a post on his Truth Social network" Should people around the world look at his social network company for official statements? Ignore it. Or ban it so that nobody will have to suffer all those Trump brain farts.

Here the same event from another perspective: Colombia rejects US military flights with deportees and sets off feud with Trump | US immigration | The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jan/26/colombia-gustavo-petro-trump-deportation-flights Maybe someone should explain to Trump that other countries are not just colonies from the USA which must do everything the new president wants. How about a little cooperation between souverain nations? But that is obviously something Trump does not understand.

On the other hand, many pedestrians, especially tourists, seem to think all side streets are walking streets for them. Obviously, they need some space. But why do they walk 3 or 4 next to each other in the middle of the Soi? Walk on the side! And one by one after each other. That way you don't use the whole street and annoy fewer drivers and riders.

Good idea!

In the future there will be this story: Once upon a time there was a guy who was very successful and the richest man on the planet. And then he decided to go into politics. That was the beginning of the end for him.

Trump is certified insane. Why did Americans vote for that maniac? Quote from the following article: Trump told reporters on Air Force One. “You’re talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing and say: ‘You know, it’s over.’” Trump’s Gaza proposal rejected by allies and condemned as ethnic cleansing plan | US news | The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jan/26/trump-resumes-sending-2000-pound-bombs-to-israel-undoing-biden-pause

I noticed the effect of cigarette smoke. Before I never used them together anywhere near each other. After testing them now together I guess I will move on of them near to my computer desk.

I don't understand. As far as I see if a person is on the ignore list then he stays on that list until I remove him. I don't think I ever ignored the same person twice - except if it was a reincarnation with another member name.

Maybe I will buy one. But if I buy one then I want to be sure if shows accurate values. There is no point in seeing some numbers which might be true or maybe not. I just cleaned the second Air Purifier today. Now I have both of them right next to each other. I will look now how much the values vary over the next days, and let's see if two of them produce better filtered air.

I didn't see Tim Cook together with Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg at Trump's party. Obviously, Trump can't accept that Cook didn't kiss his feet.

Maybe one of the admins can enlighten us all.

I am sure some smart and honorable people would want that job if voters would vote for smart and honorable people. But it seems in the USA and many other countries voters vote again and again for crooks with a big mouth.

I read a lot about him. And I read it from different sources. I don't really have to listen to him in person to know that he made stupid comments about Greenland, Panama, Canada, to name just a few. Then the fact that he pardoned all those Jan-6 people, even when they attacked police officers. There are so many bad things which Trump does all the time which we know by just following the news. And even his MAGA fans don't deny that he does all those things. But for whatever mysterious reasons they think what he does makes sense or is funny or whatever.

Obviously more posts might bring more positive reactions. But there are some people here who don't get positive reactions, even when they post all the time. Personally, I like when people agree with me. But if they don't agree, and best case write why not, then that is also fine with me.' The idea is conversation, and obviously for conversation we need different standpoints.

I do the same. But actually, it isn't really Thai. We understand each other because we talk with each other since many years. But if other farangs listen or Thais listen then they often don't understand so much, because it isn't Thai and it isn't English.

You could buy a book. Or you could just (try to) talk with the locals. Maybe visit a school nearby and ask them if someone wants to help you to improve your Thai. I would be surprised if you won't find anybody.

Instead of opening a new thread, how do you measure your air quality? I have two MI Air Purifier; one is maybe 5 years old and the other maybe 3 years old. They show different AQI levels. Now I cleaned the old one thoroughly, but it still shows better AQI values then the new one. I don't know which one is correct, probably both are not correct. Does anybody of you use AQI or CO2 or other air quality sensors? Are they certified to show correct values? How do you know how good or bad your air quality is?

Some of us also want to discuss the details of the deal. 😉

Really? I think with language skills it's relatively easy. Do I understand everything Thai people say? Can I reply in Thai so that they understand me? Personally, I am perfectly able to order somtam and tell them if they should all a little sugar. I am also perfectly able to tell the taxi driver to go left or right. But this would not convince me that my Thai is perfect. I think many of us have a pretty good idea about our language skills.

I wonder how long it will take before some American judge explains to Trump that he has no right to do what he wants to do. Are there still any judges in that country who have enough spine to explain that to the idiot?
