Snickers bars?

Where's the fun in that?

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.

It's handy that they slapped bullseye stickers on the drones.

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.

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.

Following publication of new official data, the End Fuel Poverty Coalition has estimated that 4,950 excess winter deaths in the UK were caused by living in cold homes during winter 2022/23. [1] 4,950 excess winter deaths caused by cold homes last winter https://www.endfuelpoverty.org.uk/

Not for Biden it wasn't. He pardoned a buttload of people who hadn't been arrested, tried or convicted. Almost as if he didn't want them to be investigated at all.

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.

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.

Jeezus Cristo. One bad afternoon, vs a whole season of lefty violence and mostly peaceful city burning. Out of curiosity, how many Jan6 supporters bought mansions with their GoFundMe money? How many Repubs raised bail money for Jan6ers?

I wonder if he just dozed off, or were there any chemicals or booze in his system?

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

You seem to have missed a few recent headlines about Solar Radiation Modification (SRM). That's exactly what they're proposing. Solar radiation modification: NOAA State of the Science factsheet | NOAA Climate.gov

I'm looking at the photo in the OP and I'm just not seeing the luv.

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.

Yet another wingnut conspiracy theory turns out to be true.

Is tukcom in Pattaya? I'm not familiar... I've heard of it, obviously. Just don't recall ever being there. I spend most of my BKK time in Chinatown each month, with at least one or 2 forays to Fortune Town and MBK. There are some repair geniuses in all 3. I'm in awe of how cheap they've fixed me up in the past.

Some parent won't teach their kids to swim because they're afraid their kids would sneak into the water and drown. They'd rather the kids have a healthy fear of the water. Even if they reach the steep, slippery shore (or a ladderless dock) they can only tread water for a limited time. They're just kids. Given that there are 2 different doctrines, is it really fair to contend that it's lack of care? Or is that just Thai bashing? Personally, I'd teach mine to swim, then put the fear of God into them to stay away from the water when there's no adults. But I wouldn't dream of accusing any parent on the other side of "not caring".
