That's what conservatives do. What's that? Get both sides of a story before we make up our mind? How silly is that?

So don't look.

So don't believe Fox. Go with NBC's Meet the Press: Remind me, what does it mean when the red line goes above the blue line? Tying it back to the OP title, it must really sting to be polling below the anti-Christ. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/poll-biden-trump-economy-presidential-race-rcna136834

Yeah, but not a single call yet for them to ban all Brits on visa exempt. Or, not that I've seen. But then, I won't read through 8 or 9 pages of Brit bashing and arguments about what constitutes mongering. That got old years and years ago.

Someone clue me in here... Did she have a scooter license back home that would allow her (by treaty) to legally drive a scooter in Thailand? I'm allowed to drive a small scooter back home without a license. But that doesn't mean I'm allowed to drive one in Thailand without having that endorsement on my "back home" license. And I can't see an insurance company paying out for an illegal activity.

And what a great opportunity for the entire world to catch him in a lie. Or maybe not...

Yeah. I'm going to go with my standard, "Lack of curiosity is not a virtue". Seems the globalists would prefer blind, deaf and dumb compliance. Edit: Here's where I expect he'll post the interview (if it happens). There are several great long format interviews in the various sections. Some solid, some way out there. I just hope the Putin interview doesn't go behind a paywall. https://tuckercarlson.com/the-tucker-carlson-encounter/

FWIW, here's the actual text of the referenced competing bill, that includes the border, Ukraine, Israel, and (I suspect) a lot of other pork. https://www.appropriations.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/emergency_national_security_supplemental_bill_text.pdf I suspect they better approve stand-alone funding for Israel if they want to get the money to them in this lifetime. That said, I haven't drilled down the 370 pages, nor do I have the legal background to interpret the meaning. So I look forward to the pundits telling us what's actually in it. It could get interesting.

Better yet, do a series of follow ups a year later to show how much fun they're having in the Bangkok Hilton.

I'd like to find whoever decided never to make them in larger sizes, and personally thank him/her.

That's a good point, and it's not actually a welding tank. It just looks exactly the same. And the truck that used to unload the O2 tanks at my shop for welding also make a stop to unload O2 tanks at the local hospitals. I never did check to see how they differentiate. And it's a well recognized international brand so I assumed they did it right. (Airgas) So, though I refer to it as (basically) a welding tank, it is the same O2 they deliver to hospitals. If you're buying your O2 from a mom and pop outfit, you do need to be careful it comes in a clean tank and meets medical grade (which seems to be 99.5% O2 and not just 99%).

You forgot the 3rd possibility. The scary one.

Yup. Those Coin Star machines are great. But at 6 or 7% service fee, I'm sure you could hire a local kid here in LOS to do it for you for 5%. I used to use 1.5 liter water bottles because the bigger coins don't fit through the mouth. One day, my apartment manager asked me what I planned to do with them (I had 4 bottles full). When I told her I didn't have a clue, she offered to change them for bills. A couple of days later, she brought me a wad of cash. I don't know how I made out on the trade, but we were both happy. I'd hire a local kid to do it... BTW, the 4 bottles I had were after I had donated a couple to a Wat around 3 Pagodas that my friend used to bring me to for weekends.

They don't seem to take issue with the vast populations of Jews in the world that don't live in Israel. Anti Israeli policies doesn't mean anti-Semitic. At least, it didn't used to...

Could just be a quiet way of granting short term asylum to those who don't want to kill Ukes.

Sadly, I got nuthin' for the OP, but this is another data point that anyone with any doubt at all about their immigration and visa status should avoid flying into DMK.

Gets half the guy's fine...

Strangely, nobody so far demanding an end to visa exempt for all Brits like they're demanding on the thread about the Russian case.

We'd be into the third page of posters demanding to get the rope had the guy been a Russkie.

I always wonder how much the protesters are getting paid, and who's paying them?

Good catch. I arrived in 2011 so I didn't meet anyone who got ejected before that. But I did meet a lot of guys doing monthly van rides to the border, some perpetual "students" who never went to class and some other guys who borrowed their 400/800K for a short period every year around extension time. Each group eventually having to leave when the rules tightened after the coup. And there may have been others that don't come to mind before my coffee.

Be careful what you ask for... I'm flying in once a month for a week or so, and I'd hate to see them implement an air limit that takes into account the guys that fly in and extend to 60 days each time. Those guys become tax residents on the first day of their 4th entry... I'll never even come close. Frankly, I'd just fly to Korea, or Hong Kong if they started making it difficult for me. It would surely save me a wad of dough. But I think my travel profile is their perfect tourist.

Some people live linear lives. Others, not so much. The problems are exacerbated when the rules change mid-game. And in Thailand's case, are implemented and enforced inconsistently at various locations and even by individual IO's.

The pony bottle came with a solid metal tube with fittings on both ends for the purpose. Total length of the tubing is about a meter, but it's wrapped in a circle so it ends up being flexible and pretty small and fits into the plastic case that the whole kit came in. As I recall, it had a tiny pinhole choke in the line so it took awhile to fill the small bottle, otherwise it heats up. Bottle, gauge, regulator, refill tube, and clear plastic tube with a couple of different ends depending on whether we ran it to her nose or over her face/nose, all came in a self contained plastic suitcase. We bought it at a health care supply store here in China. I suspect they'd have them in the health care supply markets like the one near BTS Victory Monument and the hospitals there. I was gobsmacked what I could buy there after my bypass surgery. Stuff you'd need a prescription for back home. (Including oxygen concentrators)

I ask because my GF here in China needed supplemental oxygen and we kept (basically) an O2 welding tank at home and have a pony bottle for the road and around the rest of the house. We refill the pony bottle from the big one so we don't have to call them out for service as often. The big $$ seems to be the house call fee, with the O2 being a smaller part of the bill. If you're convenient to the refill vendor, that may not be an issue for you.
