Backlash as Popular Sandwich Chain Cancels Franchise Locations
And another one: Command and Control: Nuclear Weapons, the Damascus Accident, and the Illusion of Safety That is very scary.

Backlash as Popular Sandwich Chain Cancels Franchise Locations
I guess it's just something different. Every couple of months I like to eat KFC, and every couple of months I like a Big Mac. It just happens. And I think if we don't eat it all the time then it's not a big deal.

Thanks for the information. But I have to ask: Are you sure? I just checked his Wikipedia page and googled obituary Eric Schlosser and I didn't find any confirmation. I read a couple of his books, all very interesting.

Russell Brand Faces Potential Charges as Police Submit File to Prosecutors
No, nobody should be raped. But on the other side, women should think at least for a second of what they are doing. I.e. is it advisable for a woman to walk at night in a dark street in a bad neighborhood with sexy clothes? No. But that doesn't mean every woman who does that should be raped. And with this guy, as far as I know he doesn't make a secrete out of his sexual desires. Like: I want it all and now and just the way I want it. If you come to see me than that is what you should expect and maybe that is what you will get. Summary: Think for at least a second of what you want to do before you do it.

How to stop the Boats.
Send them all immediately back to where they came from, France. Nobody can claim that they escaped from France because they fear for their lives.

I think all the women who desired that guy got exactly what they deserved. Some of those women could have had a nice guy, who loves them. But that is obviously not what they wanted.

Russell Brand Faces Potential Charges as Police Submit File to Prosecutors
And I am sure all those women thought he is such a model for a monogamous partner who will marry them, and they will live happily ever after, and he will never ever look at another woman again. Or maybe not? What did they expect from that guy?

Buying a house without using a lawyer
IMHO you need an experienced Thai person or a farang who can read and write Thai who you can trust. It does not have to be a lawyer. I had the help of a farang friend who used to be a property agent in Thailand - and his Thai is nearly perfect. He knows all the details, and I know I can trust him.

Lottery win
If even the street hookers don't want to talk to you, that's bad. Yes, somehow it reminds me of Bob. 😉

Confirmed: Chuwit Set to Return to Thailand, Not a Comeback
I wish him all the best. Obviously, he has a checkered past. But he spent his time in jail without complaining, and he did a lot of good for Thailand.

Tim Walz Refers to Elon Musk as ‘That Gay Guy,’ Campaign Clarifies it was a Misstatement
Musks called others pedophile, and he got away with it. I think calling Musk gay is just fair. Please more of the same.

Things that never happened.....
Wow, maybe she lied. Good luck that that other guy would never ever not tell the truth...

Backlash as Popular Sandwich Chain Cancels Franchise Locations
A long time ago I read this great book: Fast Food Nation: What The All-American Meal is Doing to the World Kindle Edition by Eric Schlosser (Author) It exposes the whole industry. And as far as I remember, the above sandwich chain was one of the worst. Enjoy!

Panel Investigates Thaksin's Lengthy Hospital Stay
There is an easy solution. Time is hospital is not time in jail - for any inmate. If he was 100 days is hospital then put him 100 days more into jail. And if he is sick again, then stop counting and start counting again only when he is in a jail cell. Conclusion: He didn't finish his jail sentence yet. Put him back where he belongs.

Thailand ... # ??? Top Destination Searched ... or not.
Personally, I am absolutely fine if many people want to go to the USA and few to Thailand. Do what you want! I also don't advertise my favorite coffee shop, because there are enough people already, we don't need more. Same, same, not much different.

insulation - roll up shutter door - critique my plan?
If you put something on the inside, then the heat is already inside. I would try first for a solution that the heat does not get in. Maybe some reflective material or even paint on the outside.

Trump White House Official Calls for Trump to Be Arrested for Threatening Liz Cheney
Is there anything Trump could do or anything that could be exposed about him that would hurt him. I am sure if there would be news that he just shot someone, with evidence, most of his MAGA crowd would still vote for him. That is the problem.

Free speech
I have mixed feelings about this. In a way, I don't want that total bs is propagated. But then, who decides what is the truth? Let's look at the past and Nicolaus Copernicus, Galileo Galilei, Charles Darwin and many others. What does/would happen now to people who discover things and nobody believes them? For particular groups like i.e. politicians, I would love to see fines for deliberate lies. Controlling this and enforcing this, and without bias, is obviously the big issue.

50,000 baht stolen. Should I call the police?
555 But then, I don't want to think about my first steps in Thailand. I sure made some mistakes. My big advantage at that time was that I had little money. So, I was no target for all the people who wanted money, and even if I was a target, there was not much to lose. 😉

Phuket Taxi Mafia Confronts Tourists Over App-Based Ride
Phuket has a powerful taxi mafia. What a surprise! Or maybe not. When I visited Phuket 30 years ago, that mafia existed already, and it was obvious. Somehow it seems the Thai authorities don't know about this. And because they don't know it exists, they don't do anything about it. TiT, Amazing Thailand.

Trump Sues CBS for $10 Billion Over Alleged Editing in Kamala Harris Interview
How about Trump should give every American just 1$ for every lie which he told in public? I think that would be a great idea and certainly win/win.

50,000 baht stolen. Should I call the police?
Come on, there are certainly a couple of guys out there who realize they shouldn't do such things to impress the ex - or the new one.

It depends on what she delivers for 50k. 😉
