What are my chances?
I'm fundamentally against hitting on women who can't get away. She's working at 7/11. Go find one that's hanging around a mall or something.

Pattaya Motorbike Drivers Protest Strict Helmet Law Fines
indeed. priorities. Speaking of priorities, I'd prefer that the BIB spend more effort enforcing the laws that protect innocent people. Like riding on sidewalks, blowing through red lights, speeding like a demon... The only people at risk from not wearing a helmet are the ones that make a decision to not wear a helmet. We're all at risk when Speed Racer blows down the sidewalk at breakneck speed. Helmet scofflaws are just low hanging fruit.

Thai Air Force Tests Armed Drone Amid Border Tensions with Cambodia
It's handy that they slapped bullseye stickers on the drones.

Weathering the Climate Debate: Meet the Young Meteorologist Challenging the Hysteria
Spoiler alerts. Like when we all pointed to that Olympic boxer who looked and punched a lot like a dude. Turns out, he is. I'm sure that came as quite a surprise to CNN and MSDNC watchers, and to lefty "peer reviewers". They're probably feverishly digging for links to prove that XY chromosomes and a very high testosterone level aren't good indicators.

Weathering the Climate Debate: Meet the Young Meteorologist Challenging the Hysteria
Is it even possible to get a PhD nowadays without knuckling under to radical lefty instructors and administrators? Who peer reviews the journals? More importantly who pays the reviewers? And will they keep the paychecks coming if the peer reviewers don't toe their line? Gotta love Maher, referring to woke universities as a**hole factories.

Transgender Community Faces Rising Hate Amid Political Attacks and Social Backlash
No. Jan6 was a poorly conducted protest to all the election irregularities pointed out in the Texas vs Pennsylvania lawsuit filed by Ken Paxton in December, 2020 and supported by amicus briefs from 17 other states and over 150 congressmen. Which the Supreme Court refused to rule on. They never looked at the merits of the lawsuit. They just ruled that Texas didn't have standing. There was no insurrection on Jan6, and much less domestic terror than the 8700 BLM protests that resulted in over 16,000 arrests, over 2300 looting incidents, 624 arson fires, 97 cop cars burned and over 2000 cops injured. (For which only 77 were sentenced to prison, compared to 700+ on Jan6) MCCA-Report-on-the-2020-Protest-and-Civil-Unrest.pdf https://majorcitieschiefs.com/ Edit: And the wingnut in me is predicting that Patel and Bongino will find out that the FBI was balls deep into instigating the violence, though they claim they "only" had 26 assets in the crowd.

Are high end smartphones worth the money (to you)?
I once tried rooting a Samsung phone I was no longer using. I think it was around S3 vintage or so. I had updated to a newer phone and was curious about rooting. It was a disaster in terms of the time I spent. Fortunately, it was just a lark on my part. I'd gladly pay someone in a Thai kiosk that does it every day. Back home (USA), I'd bin the phone before I'd pay the $150 start fee and $100 an hour.

Two Killed After Bus Driver Falls Asleep at the Wheel in Prachuap Khiri Khan
I wonder if he just dozed off, or were there any chemicals or booze in his system?

Transgender Community Faces Rising Hate Amid Political Attacks and Social Backlash
Tell that to the women and girls being forced to accept people with penises in their locker rooms. With lefty judges agreeing with the penises. And the recent one, where a kid plays on the boys' teams, but identifies as a girl so he can get into their locker room and watch them get naked. You need to broaden your reading list.

Good quality oven for bread
Because their kitchens are too small? That's why I didn't have an oven in Thailand. Not enough counter space, either.

Tourist Police Crack Down on Bangkok Taxi Drivers Exploiting Foreign Visitors
They should offer a special visa for taxi whistleblowers. For as long as you rat out one bad taxi a day, you never have to run for the border.

Tourist Police Crack Down on Bangkok Taxi Drivers Exploiting Foreign Visitors
Not just greenhorns. They're equal opportunity abusers. I can't count the number of times I've been refused or the driver shoots a price and drives off when I ask for the meter.

British Woman Found Dead on Koh Phangan Beach After Late-Night Swim
Out of curiosity, are the locally done autopsies trustworthy, or are they skewed toward protecting tourism? If she were my family member, I'd want an autopsy by an independent agency.
-
British Woman Found Dead on Koh Phangan Beach After Late-Night Swim
Thinking the same thing. A rough surf can undress people but it could also be someone forced themselves on her and drowned her as she fought him off. A full autopsy needs to be done . The OP photo doesn't show the kind of surf that would rip the shorts off a swimmer.

It seems rather suspicious that her undies weren't on.

Tumbling Tastes: Bangkok's Banthat Thong Hits Hard Times
The place got popular so they jacked up rents and prices but didn't maintain quality. Now, it's not a good value. All of Thailand could take a lesson here.
