  1. 15... He's in the lead for 2025. But it's early days.
  2. While I'm basically against censorship skewed to either side, it'll be fun watching the lefties get a dose of it this time around. See how they like them apples...
  3. I think that goes a long way to explaining why they don't get the luv from Thai motorists that ambulances get back in the nanny state. Everyone knows that there's a real high probability that they're racing each other to the scene so they can beat the 4 other ambulances racing them, and a low probability that they're actually hauling a patient.
  4. They should just get Hunter to confess and close the case. He's immune...
  5. If they're aiming at luxury tourists that spend $180 a day, they're missing the meaning of "luxury". They can't attract high fliers with the kind of experience they can even hope to provide at a cost of $180 a day.
  6. With numbers like that, I'm surprised that anyone has confidence in them.
  7. Worked for me and my resentment toward the ex, but it was 30 days. The first step was realizing that knot was in my stomach, making my life miserable. She was oblivious. Just like the Bad Orange Man is oblivious to the knot in lefty guts. They're the ones suffering, not him. From that unrecognized syndrome...
  8. Just using the Chao Phraya boats as an example, I have paid in advance, paid on the boat, and paid at the destination pier. In K-Buri, I pay the longtail guy after the ride. Which works well for him, because I pay 1000 baht for the 800 baht hour trip. I'd be reluctant to tip in advance, not knowing whether it'll be a favorable experience. OTOH, I could do a runner at any of the landmarks and cemeteries on the itinerary. So I can see both sides, especially at 2:00AM when they may not have anyone on duty collecting fares before the ride. Which would seem to be the most practical solution. Edit: BTW, shameless (and off topic) plug... If you're ever at the Bridge on the River Kwai in K-Buri, I highly recommend the longtail tours starting under the bridge. I saw some fascinating stuff, like the other WWII cemetery, temples in caves (that doubled as bomb shelters during WWII), and the lesser known museum that isn't as comprehensive as the great Aussie run museum, but still fascinating if you like history. You get to choose where they take you...
  9. History is not going to be kind to Biden. And he deserves every bit of the criticism.
  10. It was interesting that, every time they piled on new bogus charges, Trump's polling numbers went up. I'd have thought they'd see the numbers and quit digging their hole deeper.
  11. By "alternative media", you mean the ones that don't advertise weight loss injections and boner pills to make their money?
  12. I do remember my history. And labeling anyone who doesn't agree with you a "fascist" doesn't work any better than looking for commies under every rock did back in the McCarthy era. Quick question... What was Germany's GDP growth in 2024? Can you see where there may be calls for a change?
  13. According to the wingnuts, he left behind a few notes and sent some to a few influencers as well. It's almost as if he didn't want some alphabet agency to write his story...
  14. Sometimes, they really are after you. I doubt we'll ever find out in this case, but the wingnut conspiracy sites are having a field day. Google "gravitic propulsion systems".
  15. That was a feint, to see if they could push Zelensky and his cronies to leave the country and move to their mansions around the world and end the conflict without killing a million people. Sadly, the US and UK convinced Zelensky to fight on.
  16. 99% of the people I encounter on a daily basis don't know about mine, either. For years, it was forbidden to even discuss deleterious side effects, under threat of being excluded from any future socializing. I'm glad we're finally allowed to peak at the data and talk about what happened to us, though a lot is still being squelched.
  17. Which Austin Powers movie was that? The one where Fat Bastard marvels at his own rosebud? My big fear nowadays is when I'm wearing earbuds in public, cranking out tunes. Was that one really silent?
  18. Dang man. How bad did the Democratic candidates and their history have to be that Americans elected him?
  19. Yeah. I, on the other hand would give anything to go back and undo my 2nd Pfizer. Symptoms starting the next day have diminished my quality of life and my health to this day, almost 4 years later.
  20. What about opposing Germany's economic collapse?
  21. Getting beyond the big historical context, I'm thinking about that 5th grade Dutch kid whose classmates just found out that his great-grandparents were on the list of collaborators from the '40s. Without a clue about what they actually did to get on the list. And no way to defend the family name.
  22. I don't know. It may be. If I was alive at the time and the list includes the names of people who gave a hungry 16 year old German soldier a sandwich. The OP doesn't make it clear at all how the list was vetted. With almost half a million names, I suspect a lot of the names are for trivial "collaboration". And human nature being what it is, I suspect a lot of the names made it on the list for personal grievances with neighbors. The 1940's Dutch version of Karens...
  23. Yup. The Nazis did terrible stuff. And the Palestinians paid the price. That's the reason the collective West focuses on the Nazi holocaust and give the Japanese a pass, for even worse atrocities.
