She didn't kick his ass. They did. It was a tag team effort.

Just to be fair, have Fox moderate. Or Joe Rogan.

Nothing is free in the lounges. It's included in the price you've paid to get into the lounges.

Good God, man. That proves it's even more widespread and been going on longer than we've been told? That's what the "fact checkers" would conclude if it was Trump letting in all the Haitians.

Might be a Texas, or even just an oilfield expression. It went along with "Mungo only pawn in game of life" when we were talking about where we'd move for our next assignment. We usually had no say, except whether to accept the next assignment or walk on down the road kicking rocks.

"where they mailed my paycheck" is slang for "where my office was" Or "where the company wanted me to live". If the OP needs a traditional (good paying) job, that severely limits the places he can choose from. Tough to find an office job, for example, on Koh Chang.

In all the kerfuffle about geese and cats, nobody's discussing how 15-20,000 Haitian migrants ended up in a town of 60,000 people. According to the mayor and the gub'ner, with no advance warning. As if any town could survive a 25-33% unplanned increase in population without devastating effects to the infrastructure, traffic, healthcare, and general quality of life. Masterful diversion by the MSM...

If that's true (and I have no reason to doubt you on it), that would scare me even more. They'd probably find more scofflaws on the days further away from payday.

I always lived where they mailed my paycheck. I don't see where the OP is planning to get a job, work from his laptop, or retire.

There is a legal limit. Over the years, there have been some threads on it. Also some anecdotal stories of people being pulled over in LOS because their window tint was too dark.

That's been my experience with black cars. I had to clean them much more often or they looked dusty. And whiskey dings, rock chips and door dings were a lot more pronounced. It wasn't worth it to turn on the AC if the trip was less than 5 or 10 minutes. It took that long for the car to cool off. I've had kids and women jump out of the car and start crying after they sat down on black vinyl or leather upholstery in the sun. Not so bad with cloth upholstery. I've got nothing against black cars as a personal choice. Just not one I would make in the tropics, unless it was a great deal on a used car that happened to be black. Some places I've lived, black was the choice because the cops thought they were official vehicles and left them alone. Back to the OP, I haven't seen any discussion of the maximum legal tint for the various windows/windshield. I have no doubt that the installer will sell you anything you insist on. But is it legal, and will there be extra liability in an accident? And can the insurance company deny a claim if they find out the tint was illegal? Those are honest questions, not pointed ones. I just don't know.

Sure, if you're flying through a US airport.

May be cheap in Thailand, even downstream of security. But I've paid $2 to $4 for a bottle of water at some airports downstream of security. It's criminal in the USA.

Post back what you decide, how much it costs, and how it works out. That would be good info. I cringe when I see "UPS" in the same paragraph as "international". But it's been awhile since I got butthurt. Things may have changed, especially after the Covid recession.

https://fixingengines.com/do-black-cars-get-hotter-the-science-behind-it Black cars do, in fact, get noticeably hotter on the inside than white cars do when left in the sun for a long time, and they also take longer to cool off. A study showed that black cars can get up to 17 Fahrenheit degrees hotter than white ones, which happens because the color black traps more heat than lighter colors. I just wonder what makes that a good trade-off for some, especially where it's hotter than heck anyway.

Some folks are truly talented. Some suffer from Dunning Kruger. I didn't want to risk it. There's a long list of posters that we no longer hear from. RIP. Edit: Help me understand why someone would choose a black car in the tropics?

I hate to be a broken record, but I'm liking my Samsung A05s, which is at the lower end of the OP's price target. I bought it the first month they came out, and I think they've come down 1000 baht since then. I've always had good luck with Samsung smartphones (and the software), except that time I fell out of the boat with my phone in my pocket. They're not waterproof. The A05 is even cheaper, but lower resolution screen.

I ended up scraping the film off my windshield. Driving at night in Thailand is dangerous enough when I can see.

You're missing the big point, and I think that's on purpose. Focus attention on a ridiculous meme, and they'll miss the real tragedy. Springfield, with 60,000 residents has absorbed 15-20,000 Haitian immigrants, with no warning. That has overwhelmed their police, their healthcare, and other city services, whether they ate the geese from the local park or not. Most Haitians have never owned a car, and now, they need to drive to get around. (Ohio law doesn't require a road test for drivers over 18) That's causing all kinds of traffic problems (including a fatality), and some locals claim their car insurance rates are skyrocketing. (Imagine turning 15,000 Thai left side drivers loose on a small town where everyone drives on the right) https://www.springfieldnewssun.com/news/springfield-mayor-investigation-into-businesses-immigration-continues/W4OJQYSNUBF7JCMSD72VVQGNQI/ https://www.springfieldnewssun.com/news/springfield-leaders-discuss-growing-haitian-population-with-federal-government/EJWXEEGK2ZFN7N66GWPOPMDP2A/ https://www.springfieldnewssun.com/local/dewine-says-to-focus-on-challenges-from-number-of-immigrants-in-springfield-not-rumors/S5HDM4BIDZC47BEIWMDNBXZ6CU/ https://apnews.com/article/springfield-ohio-haitian-influx-governor-dewine-f5a552d7ebc6e246882dca96a39a3aaa

Are you trying to prove you dont know diddly? Just demonstrating how fast the lefties change the goalposts. A few months ago, I would have been called out for claiming Biden was on perpetual vacation (much less putting Biden and dementia in the same sentence). Now, it's okay that he's on perpetual vacation. There are others running the country.

Thanks for that. I'm staying where Google Maps is blocked.

Are there any websites posting realtime maps of the flooding situation, like they had during the 2011 floods?

Quick question... With Biden on dementia leave perpetual vacation, and Harris practicing for the debate, who was running the country?

Maybe true, but people go to Big C to buy stuff. They go to the malls to hang out, wander around, drink coffee, gawk at the cuties, and eat. And for the free A/C. Unless the malls have a Gourmet Market in the basement, you still have to go somewhere else to buy groceries. I usually leave the malls carrying nothing, even if I did have coffee and eat. I can't remember ever leaving a Big C without a couple of bags.

If you pass a law that allows viable (if not full term) fetuses to be aborted, and then don't protect the infants who survive the abortion once they're born, are you not allowing abortions after birth? That's what my link showed. It has happened. But the most egregious violation by the moderator is making that hit and run statement just before muting Trump's mic. I thought it was up to the candidates to support their position, not the moderators. Looked more like a 3 on one tag team than a fair debate.
