  1. She supports the US constitution and the peaceful transfer of power. That is what every American citizen and especially every American politician should do. But MAGA boys are obviously different. What a bunch of sad suckers.
  2. In a way he is like Trump. There are idiots all over the world. But in most countries people ignore those idiots. (At least that was the case before social media.)
  3. Thanks for bringing this up. I also thought about asking all the Trump fans about that when I read the articles tonight. What do you think about your president who supposedly is so peaceful and now he wants the Panama Canal and Greenland. Trump refuses to rule out using military to take Panama Canal and Greenland | Donald Trump | The Guardian To his fans: Is that what you want? Do you think it's a good idea to make remarks like that in public? Or do you think he doesn't really mean it and wouldn't do it? Or, most unlikely, do you think that idiot should just shut up and concentrate on important issues within the USA?
  4. The US and Israel want something like: Palestinians have no rights at all. And Israelis can do whatever they want. And just in case the USA told Israel not to do a, b and c. What will the USA do if Israel does a, b or c or all of them? Nothing!
  5. That does not make any sense - even if many people repeat it all the time. Money makes life better and easier. Take a taxi instead of the bus, go to nice restaurants, live in a nice place. Put the AC on 20 degrees and don't worry about the electricity bill, the list is very long. It's basically impossible to try to look at rich people and remove the money. It also applies to friendships. Do I care if my friends have money? No, not really. But if we go out for dinner and a couple of drinks, would I always pay everything if my friends had no money? Or is it part of the friendship that today I invite you and tomorrow you invite me?
  6. Just shoot and kill them all, Dirty Harry style, problem solved.
  7. Maybe she should tell that old man to shut up. Maybe he could take care of his grandchildren. Wasn't that what he promised us?
  8. The good news is that it could be worse with a picture from the front. 😉
  9. Is there a reason why the "security guy" does nothing?
  10. I recovered data many times. There are basically 3 options. a) The case/electronic outside the disk is the problem. Replace that, problem solved. b) Recover software does the job. It's best used if someone has experience with that. It just takes time waiting. c) It's worse than a) and b). Then you need a specialist company with a clean room, and it might get really expensive.
  11. Have you considered buying a 2nd hand PC? I know they had sales from company desktop PCs i.e. in Fortune. Maybe they also have notebooks for sale, maybe 4 years old or so.
  12. I plan to take a taxi like Bolt from Bangkok to Bangsaen and later on the same day back again. I understand that the prices vary depending on a couple of factors. Are there any (official) predictions about the prices through the day and maybe workday or weekend. I.e. I checked this morning about 8:20 and the Bolt standard price for above trip was 2400B. Now, 10:10, it shows 1230B. In November I paid for that trip on a Sunday 1017B and then back 794B. I am flexible with my time. I don't need to concentrate on the last 100B difference, but I prefer to pay 1200 instead of 2400. Is there an easy way to predict when to go for a reasonable price?
  13. In theory that is a good idea. But how about furniture? No wood?
  14. It seems to me there are a few contractors and workers who know what they are doing. But they are mostly busy with big projects. Building just one house or renovating one condominium is a small job for them. I understand that they prefer to work on one project for a year instead of 5 smaller projects. All in all, I am mostly happy with the renovation (from scratch) of my condominium. I hired a woman who works in a 5-star hotel and was responsible for renovating a big part of that hotel. She knew quality builders and she knew 5-star standards. And obviously I paid for that. I am pretty sure without her, or someone similar, it would have been almost impossible for me to get the job done right. And then I sill checked every day what was going on - which was easy for me because I lived in another unit in the same building.
  15. I used to download many eBooks, mostly all the NYT bestsellers. Now I actually buy them on Amazon with OneClick. It is just so convenient, and most books are still cheap.
  16. If you want quality, buy a ThinkPad.
  17. I wonder how they word would be if America would not have invaded so many countries in the middle east.
  18. German Chancellor Scholz reaction to Musk: "Don’t feed the troll" That sums it up nicely.
  19. Please read the original post: It's about expats and Thailand and it is about people talking about America and American problems. I responded to the whole original post, not just the Thai part. American politics influences the whole world, and you know this. So, it's no surprise that people all over the world also talk about crazy Americans.
  20. I live since almost 30 years in Thailand. And sometimes I join the discussions about Trump. Because unfortunately Americans elected that guy to be the most powerful person in the world, not just Ameria. I hope he builds a big wall around their country and makes America great (again?) for anybody who lives there. When he did that, maybe in a hundred years or so, then he can let the Americans out again.
  21. If you want to know more about him, with his own words, watch his podcast. He has often interesting guests - from the whole political spectrum. Club Random Podcast - YouTube
  22. You obviously have no idea what you are writing about him. He is somewhere in the center and one of the few public figures who criticize the left and the right. I saw many of his shows and interviews. He is not always right, but mostly. And he lets other people express their opinions and he still talks with them. Obviously, he thinks Trump is an idiot. Maybe you can't handle the truth and that is your problem.
