The problem with "moving on" is that they'll just do it again if there are no consequences this time. Besides, half of my face is still numb, my balance is still shot and I still have horrible fatigue, almost 4 years after my symptoms started, the day after my 2nd Pfizer. I'm not going to shoot anyone, but I sure would like someone held to account if the data was known beforehand, and withheld. So I want the investigations to continue.

The letters OHV on one photo are a giveaway that it's a 4 stroke engine. 2 stroke engines don't have overhead valves. The other "engine" in the photos is a piston type pump, not an engine. It may take the (ATF) Auto Transmission Fluid in the red bottle. Or it may not. I'm not familiar with that type of pump, and what type of oil it requires. Don't add the ATF to the engine, and don't add anything to the fuel, even if you had 2 stroke oil.

They can't take it to court as long as he's the sitting president and the Senate won't vote to impeach. But if you read the Hur Report and the House Report on the Biden Crime Family, you'll see evidence out the wazoo. I think they'll let the harmless, senile old guy off when he's out of office. But the new DOJ may pleasantly surprise me and make an example of him, that if the Dems can do it, so can the Repubs.

It would if they thought that an errant Ukrainian nuke or Iranian dirty bomb was somewhere in the UK. I'm not claiming that's true, or even that I believe it... It's just one possible scenario- from a guy that makes his living building military drones. And we're just spitballing ideas here...

Since I was informed in response to a previous post I made in this forum section that "unapproved sources" were tolerated (I'm paraphrasing), here's from one of the wingnut conspiracy sites: Speaking in a now-viral TikTok video, Ferguson shared his professional insights into the growing phenomenon, speculating that these unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are part of a classified operation aimed at recovering a nuclear warhead that allegedly disappeared in Europe and could be en route to the United States. The article goes on to explain the nukes allegedly missing from Ukraine when they denuclearized. CEO of Government-Backed Drone Company Drops Shocking Insight on New Jersey Crisis Which Leaves Joe Rogan Alarmed – Vigilant News Network I haven't a clue, but that's the most credible theory I've seen, given all the locations in the US and UK where they're flying. And you don't need daylight to work a scintillation detector to detect radiation. Plus, if they let that cat out of the bag, there would be a panic. Another theory is similar, but in that one they'd be looking for an Iranian dirty bomb...

Not in the OP's price range (by a long shot at 6,600 for just the drone and 11,700 baht for the drone/controller/extra battery combo), but has anyone tried a DJI NEO yet? Watched a YouTube review and the thing looks like what I've been seeking... Small, reasonably priced, 4K video and absolutely amazing DJI tech. But I'd like to hear from a noob that isn't being paid. The influencers can make them look easy, even when there's a 40 hour learning curve. That pricing is from Lazada... Several different vendors, same price.

Here's what happens when the world's richest man buys the presidency Should'a picked a better candidate. The 2024 election was the Dems' to lose. And boy, did they lose.

Wouldn't surprise me a bit if Bluesky becomes huge. Because lefties can't stand a venue that allows divergent points of view. So they'd naturally gravitate toward Bluesky. Because echo chambers are comfortable for some.

That's a little more relaxed in this section. Thanks for the heads up, but I'd prefer to allow anyone interested to do their own Googling. Since it's blocked here where I'm staying, they may find more than I have found using Bing. To be clear, I'm a big fan of the wingnut conspiracy genre, but I haven't formed an opinion on Ferguson's "educated guess". But it's the most plausible one that I've found so far.

And, being Thailand, it wouldn't surprise me if the actors were actually police, moonlighting. It's not as if they've never been implicated in extortion schemes.

Google John Ferguson of Saxon Aerospace. So far, I'm only finding it on "unapproved sources". He acknowledges that it's just an educated guess on his part... If he's right, the gub'ment is flying them at night and not acknowledging their actions, to avoid panicking the public.

Why? I don't. Never have. I stand at attention, sure. But the only time I put my hand over my heart is when I'm saying the Pledge of Allegiance.

If it was my loved one, we would have reported it on the day, to the store and to the police. Not waited for 30+ years, during a contested election, forget when it even happened, and have absolutely no credible evidence.

She may have been more convincing if she remembered what year it happened, provided any corroborating witnesses, reported it to the store or the popo, sued the store, been younger than 50+ years old when it allegedly happened, and not out selling books (and during an election cycle, no less).

The alleged killer of UnitedHealthcare's CEO Brian Thompson was arrested at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, after an employee contacted police, and now all three fast-food restaurants in town are inundated with 1-star reviews. No comment on my part, except this is crazy... Or, more accurately, another symptom of crazy. McDonald's Employee Who Alerted Authorities About Alleged Brian Thompson Assassin Could Get More Than a Year's Salary If Rewarded For The Tip

You did catch the irony that $2 million was for the assault and the other $80+ million was for the mean words, right? Meaning that the judge and jury decided that the mean words were 40x as bad as being assaulted. It's a mystery to me why the SJW feminists didn't call that out. Well, not a mystery, really.

Maybe, but she's what, like 20 years old? Give it time...

My bet would be the US gub'ment testing public response to an as-yet classified drone program. They want to see how adversaries' publics would respond if they were suddenly inundated with drones flying in formation at night. Not to mention, how the US public would respond, and whether any good ole' boys can shoot them down.

Don't know in this case, but I always carried (still carry) a cell phone in a waterproof kayak bag, whether I was at sea, on a lake, or in a river. I don't recall how far offshore the coverage was in Koh Chang. In fact, I don't think I pulled the phone out of the bag on my paddles off Koh Chang. It was for emergencies only. Too easy to drop one overboard in any kind of chop.

If you're happy with her the way she is, she must be trying to please someone else. Next, it'll be those balloon lips that all the influencers are showing off. I hate those, and the big butt look. Not too keen on boobs that fail the pencil test, especially on purpose...

You'd be surprised how easy it is to capsize a kayak, even in dead calm water. Especially if you're looking around and behind you. A moment's distraction and over you go. Ask me how I know that... Even easier if it's filling up with sloshing water.

Good info. Is possession of a ghost gun and an unregistered silencer a felony? Not a pointed question... I just don't know. Especially in NYC.

You need to watch more Jason Statham movies. Or more Equalizer, with Denzel...

Good catch (if true, and I'm not doubting it is...) , but that doesn't negate the fact that they were balls deep in the Boeing tragedy, the opioid crisis and the health insurance debacle. "If Allstate moved from "Good Hands" to "Boxing Gloves," as McKinsey described it, policyholders would either take a lowball offer from the good hands people or face the boxing gloves of extended litigation." All resulting in thousands of deaths and millions of lives ruined. And they're buying their way out of being held personally liable and risking prison, behind the corporate shield. Proving once again that if you have a lot of money, good lawyers, and the right business structure, you can kill people and just pay your way out. Yet another reason for public outrage... And it's not just the partners. They have thousands of employee consultants doling out the horrible, greed driven advice. I've been subject to several McKinsey audits and "studies" at various employers and never felt clean when it was all said and done.

One or both of those hatches must have been leaking. Probably lost the rubber hatch cover(s). Easy to do, especially on a hotel loaner. The plastic itself floats, even with no air in the hull. But just barely. Could just as easily have been me, kayaking solo off Koh Chang. With plenty of daylight left, I started toward some smaller islands to the south. They were further than they looked. Discretion turned me around after paddling a mile or 2. And my kayak wasn't a rental or a hotel loaner, so the hatches were intact. Kudos to the guy for wearing his life jacket.
