London-Bound Air India Flight Crashes Near Ahmedabad
FWIW, this is the best pilot-centric forum I've found. It's all speculation so far... https://www.pprune.org/accidents-close-calls/666472-plane-crash-near-ahmedabad.html https://www.pprune.org/ If there's a better forum, I'd like to hear about it.

Welshman Fights for Life in Pattaya Hospital After Vanishing from Bangkok Nightclub
Have you ever actually gotten a payout for something that happened when you were out on a bender? Insurance is "affordable", but only because it doesn't cover risky behaviors and predictable (and avoidable) hazards.

Thailand's Tourism Industry Faces Pivotal Moment as Arrivals Decline
349,000 flights a year just into Swampy. That's about 3 planes every 5 minutes. Add in DMK and the outliers and it's 836K flights a year. That's about 1.5 flights per minute, 24/7/365.

RFK Jr just dropped a 10 Megaton Bomb on the CDC
Next, the wingnuts (I'm one of them) need to track where the 17 retired members end up, and at what salaries. That'll probably 'splain a lot.

Thailand's Tourism Industry Faces Pivotal Moment as Arrivals Decline
I'm a country mouse by background (actually a product of the suburbs), but I fell in love with Bangkok during the 6 years I worked in Asoke. Warts and all, I love Bangkok. Especially (gasp) Chinatown, where there's never a dull moment. It's great to get out of the city for sanity breaks, and for that, I love Kanchanaburi and Jomtien. Contemplating a Thailand retirement, I'm debating between BKK, K-Buri and Hua Hin or Jomtien. Maybe rent a place in the city and another one outside. That was another surprise... I no longer feel the need for 3+ bedrooms and a yard.

California in Uproar as Newsom Condemns Trump’s Troop Deployment as ‘Deranged Fantasy’
Here's another view of the "mostly peacefuls": From Saturday, when Bass and Newsom were claiming they had it under control. Edit: That's the 101, BTW. A major road that thousands depend on every hour to get through LA. Which affects interstate commerce. Not just LA and not just California. The entire country...

I'd bet $5 that it wouldn't cover whatever happened to this guy. And that's without a clue what happened in this case, outside of "he was out clubbing"..

California in Uproar as Newsom Condemns Trump’s Troop Deployment as ‘Deranged Fantasy’
LBJ and JFK both did it. As I recall, neither LBJ nor JFK were reacting to actual violence. Just the threat. So it's fine when Dems do it, but not Trump? Edit: Just to be specific, JFK did it to desegregate University of Alabama. LBJ did it to protect a civil rights march from Selma to Montgomery. Neither one had permission from the guv'ner.

British Influencer's Lamborghini Recovered in Thailand After Eight-Year Saga
Who's looking for Boss? Not the cops. They've been paid. Not the family. They have, too. The only ones that seem to be interested in finding him are internet posters.

British Influencer's Lamborghini Recovered in Thailand After Eight-Year Saga
It wouldn't surprise me if they slapped him with a 30 year sentence in 2023 and he's a car dealer in Dubai in 2025.

British Influencer's Lamborghini Recovered in Thailand After Eight-Year Saga
Chicks dig guys in hot cars, even when it's raining. Or, more accurately, chicks dig rides in hot cars, even if they couldn't give a rat about the guy driving.

Neither did they mention what happened to Boy Unity, except that he'd been arrested in 2022. That could mean he's still in custody, or it could mean nothing.

World War 3 - Should I Stay (in Thailand) Or Should I Go Now?
Do you really think you'll be allowed to stay? Past history says no. Except those westerners who were put to work on the railroad. I'm also a little perturbed at the guys who relished the suffering of all the Thais that depend on tourism to put food on their tables. Covid shutdowns may have been fun for expats, but they devastated whole communities. And had they gone on much longer, expats probably would have eventually been served up for dinner- though not in the literal sense.

The protests are peaceful. Trump lied.
I think she's old enough that she may have even invented it. Speaking of Pelosi, I'm half expecting the Dems and the MSM to start throwing around her new buzzword. Exuberance. You know... Like they threw around "weird" and "safe and effective" and "most secure election ever".

Sounds like saving the rider was an afterthought. After they saved the valuable stuff.
