  1. Sure. If you don't have to commute to work downtown. Try finding such a plot less than a 2 hour commute from, for example, Asoke. For less than 25 million baht...
  2. You missed Hurricane Katrina in the news, didn't you? More big screen TVs and expensive sneakers changed hands than Amazon sells in the same period.
  3. I had a co-worker with an avocado tree in Bangkok. They were great, but he claimed his wife couldn't sell them. No demand. That surprised the heck out of me. The expats at the company took all he could bring us. He wouldn't even let us pay him for them. Of course, if avocado ranching took off in LOS, there would be a glut and the price would collapse. That's just the nature of things. On an aside, I found some great guacamole recipes without avocados, online. Street vendors in the US use the recipe because it's cheap and doesn't turn brown like normal guac. The "green" ingredient is zucchini. Pretty good substitute for dipping chips and making burritos.
  4. I like Swearingen's method in Deadwood. Win-win. Edit: For the non-watchers, he has his ethnic friend feed them to his pigs.
  5. So, he literally disappeared ? I wonder if jvs just confessed? Buried out back, maybe? Oops, Posted 3 seconds late...
  6. Solar.... Isn't that where CME's come from? And all those panels are like big ass advertisements for the zombies. Get your brains here...
  7. That's not a slap in the face. This is a slap in the face:
  8. Shameless plug here. I recently bought a DJI Power 1000 portable power supply for a specific need and it's been real handy for portable power above and beyond the project I bought it for. Back in Texas, I took the batteries out of the boats to charge up the phones and tablets when the power went out for over a week. The DJI would have been real handy. Can also be charged with a running car with the proper cable (sold separately).
  9. I wonder if they understand how many "monks" are criminals doing penance in order to stay out of jail?
  10. I wonder how many of them get away with it. Seems like the scheme would die on the vine if some percentage didn't get through.
  11. Had he been white, the press would have called it a fentanyl death. And they would have been correct.
  12. Try as I might, I couldn't find any mention of Trump in the OP, which is about a policy of the UK.
  13. Here's God weighing in: A mural honoring the memory of George Floyd in Toledo, Ohio has collapsed after being struck by lightning Tuesday. George Floyd Mural Struck By Lightning In Toledo, Ohio - CBS Minnesota 7/15/2021
  14. Gotta say, the OP touches on all the tropes. Starts with Floyd, ends with Israel, and hits half a dozen other squishy issues along the way. Reminds me of my college days when I was trying to chat up activist chicks, looking for their hot button.
  15. Those responders have bigger cajónes than I do. Or maybe they've never experienced BLEVE training. boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion I've gone through BLEVE training at several points in my life and I'll never forget the images of many yards of fire hose melted into the pavement in the aftermath of an explosion. Anyone within 50 yards or so would have been toast.
  16. He's not doing so well in the social media realm. First the "cocaine on a train" and now this... And that even bigger one. Google "Becoming Brigette".
  17. Isn't she a dude? That's what Candace Owens claims to have proven. And she has the receipts.
  18. And you keep acting as if mRNAs are traditional vaccines. They're not.
  19. "The risk of death from (insert any ailment you care mention) for adults ages 75 years to 84 years old is about 140 times higher than for adults ages 18–29." I think it's also very telling that the recommendation for boosters is the same, regardless of risk profiles, and don't consider the side effects. I think they're still jabbing toddlers in spite of miniscule risk and a potential lifetime of long term side effects that we can't possibly know until a long time has passed and someone studies them.
  20. Here's what Congress says: Illegal immigrants are a net fiscal drain, meaning they receive more in government services than they pay in taxes. Illegal immigrants do pay some taxes. We estimate that illegal immigrants in 2019 paid roughly $5.9 billion in federal income tax, $16.2 billion in Social Security tax and $3.8 billion in Medicaid taxes. However, as the net fiscal drain of $68,000 per person cited above indicates, these taxes are not nearly enough to cover the cost of the services they receive. They said that at the start of 2024. During Biden... HHRG-118-JU01-Wstate-CamarotaS-20240111.pdf https://www.congress.gov/
  21. You should hear what Thomas Sowell has to say about them, and the communities they spawned in the USA.
  22. Seeing as how that's by prescription only in the USofA, isn't that an indictment of health care professionals?
  23. He called us all girls. Even the captain of the football team and that year's state heavyweight wrestling champion. We developed thicker skins than the snowflakes nowadays.
  24. That's what the hotel does. You don't need to do anything. True, unless the hotel didn't ask to see (and copy) your passport. Most do. Some don't.
