RFK Jr. argues that Biden is a bigger threat to democracy than Trump
impulse replied to Social Media's topic in World News
And the majority of Biden's "new jobs" have been people coming back to work from Covid shutdowns, and part timers picking up more work because they can't make it on one job under Bidenomics. -
As Florida bans legal abortion, where will 84,000 women go?
impulse replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Just another hit piece on DeSantis, who's likely to be a 2028 contender. Anything they can do to damage Ron or Florida is fair game. Like that hit peace they did a few weeks ago on his Surgeon General for the measles epidemic of 10 cases that "swamped" Florida. They're pretty quiet, though, about the 57 measles cases (and counting) in the migrant centers of Chicago. Doesn't fit their narrative. Blue mayor and Biden's border disaster. https://www.chicago.gov/city/en/depts/cdph/supp_info/infectious/get-the-facts--measles.html -
I was picturing a different kind of pumping.

Phuket police raid Russian ‘owned’ businesses in Thai company crackdown
impulse replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
I don't know about the Russkies, but we paid several times what the Thai companies paid in the same field for the equivalent positions. More than worth it to be able to recruit and retain the best Thai talent. -
Whatever you do, don't look directly at the cuties with the nice legs in the local shops. Or you're doomed to overpay. +1 more on Zenni.

Democratic Congressmen Propose Renaming Federal Prison after Trump

RFK Jr. argues that Biden is a bigger threat to democracy than Trump

3 questions (okay, 4): 1) How many of those are full time jobs and how many are part time? 2) How many of those are gub'ment jobs? 3) How many are they going to adjust downward, like they did pretty much every month in 2023? And finally: How many of those jobs went to American citizens and how many to foreign citizens? -
Gosh. I missed that data in the CNN report. And the LA Times report. And the MSN report. And the NewsNation report. And the Daily Beast report. And... None of them indicate what percentage are illegals and what percentage are legal. But I didn't miss the fact that a dozen MSM outlets on the same day did a report blaming legal tourists, quoting "prosecutors", but no numbers. Almost as if there's a coordinated effort to shift the blame away from the Biden Border invasion. Carrying water for the Dems.

I had some success using cheap personal TENS machines for stiffness, but I'm not sure that's a long term thing, or just relieved to turn that voltage off. My only advice is to buy a lot of the sticky pads, because they lose their stickiness a lot faster than you'd hope. Good news is that they're cheap. I don't even remember the first time I had a treatment at the doctor (or was it the chiropractor?), probably the mid '90s. But those were big honking, expensive machines that weren't fit for personal home use. Today, you can get one for $10 that fits in your pocket, and they work great. Years ago, I bought a case of them from China and gave them to my Thai friends to sell on Lazada. They made a great margin at first. But then the market got saturated and they were selling on Lazada for about what they cost from the factory. Oh well.

So let's summarize. From my most recent post and the link, it turns out the CEO and CFO of Boeing are not airplane guys. They're from the GE camp. And neither one lives anywhere near an airplane factory (nor do most of the top management) From your most recent post, we've only learned that I am a hateful bigot and not a pleasant person. Which do you think adds more to the discussion? If you wanna refute what I post, fine. I welcome any corrections based on facts. But come with the facts. Unpleasant? That's confession by projection. I have been nothing but civil in this and the other Boeing and Alaska discussions. So, please, put me on ignore.

Is it possible to buy an electric two-wheel tractor?
impulse replied to Kinnock's topic in Farming in Thailand Forum
According to the link, it has 2x 2kw motors and a battery capacity of 2.88kw. That means you can run it at full power for a little less than an hour, then it needs to be charged. (assuming no typos and you're willing to run the battery from 100% to zero. Which is not a good idea, even if it's possible) I'd suggest you optimize your carbon footprint where it makes sense and concede that the tech just isn't there yet to go all electric. Like mulching your clippings instead of burning them, etc. -
That's one (partisan) opinion. There are other opinions. Let's go back to my original statement: Trump claimed that the PRA allowed him to keep those documents. Right or wrong, if this were any other former president, or if Trump wasn't a candidate, or this wasn't an election season, the issue would have been settled in a flurry of court battles with no charges being filed. Had this been any other former president, there would have been a flurry of subpoenas, replies and negotiation. Instead, there was a televised FBI raid on Mar a Lago and criminal charges. First time in US history a president has been charged... But hardly the first time a president was caught with secret squirrel stuff in, for example, a sock drawer.

Judging by the photo, that looks more like a processing plant than a warehouse. With cadmium at $4.1 USD per kg, 15,000 tons of pure cadmium would be worth about $61 million. Obviously, smelting dust isn't pure cadmium, but I wonder what it's worth? And I wonder what nefarious plans they have to monetize it. Hopefully, there will be more scrutiny now that it's in the press. The fact that they "found" 15,000 tons would indicate that there weren't any regulatory approvals.

The issue is whether the act of taking the records is sufficient to convert them from presidential records to personal property. The PRA allows the president to decide what's presidential and what's personal. But you have to listen to some right wing news outlets to hear that side. The MSM is carrying Biden's water. Again. Why is it that lefties think anyone who disagrees with them are somehow defective? Just can't resist getting mean and going right to personal attack. And it cost HRC the 2016 election...

Over 400 criminal cases brought against foreigners in Phuket
impulse replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
I wonder how many of those 400 crimes were technical fouls like WP and overstays and scooter helmets, and how many had an actual victim. -

NATO plots Trump survival strategy on its 75th birthday

No thanks. It's already at about a 5th grade reading level.
