You mean other than the fact that he's crushing it in the primaries, his polling numbers continue to go up, and he's gotten more supporters than ever, including Snoop Dogg? When the Dems lose Snoop Dogg, you know they're in trouble.

I wonder if it's like the baseless, demonstrably false information about the Dominion machines that was just proven true in a Georgia courtroom. https://atlantaciviccircle.org/2024/01/25/state-doesnt-understand-the-technology-plaintiffs-rest-their-case-in-trial-over-georgias-voting-machines/

Wonder if it had a Mercedes engine, or if it was a Merc with a transplanted Toyota engine? It's old enough...

Under-seasoned western food in Thailand
impulse replied to Everyman's topic in Western Food in Thailand
Chefs have to salt their foods to please the ones who want the least salt, knowing anyone else can add salt at the table. If they salted the food to my taste, the GF wouldn't eat it. You can always add salt, (and hot pepper), but you can't take it away. Of course, subject the the caveat that they need to have salt and spices at the table... -
Under-seasoned western food in Thailand
impulse replied to Everyman's topic in Western Food in Thailand
As much as I sweat in Thailand, I worry about not enough salt, not too much. I still remember taking salt tablets when working outdoors back home. Edit: In the year of mourning after the beloved King died, I wore a black shirt every day. And those days that I spent a lot of time outside, it was gray every night. -
I love the definitive way they portray a civil verdict, which only requires a "preponderance of the evidence." Meaning that it was determined that there's over a 50% chance that it happened. Hardly establishes any "facts". I think your italics characterization of the alleged event come from the book she was hawking when she first filed the lawsuit in 2019. It sure didn't come from CCTV or any witnesses. Which is neither here, nor there. In the first case, $3 million was for defamation and $2 million was for the alleged rape. Even that should have raised the hackles of every Me Too SJW. But it is Trump, and the TDS runs deep. The total awards were $86.3 million for mean words and $2 Million for the alleged rape. Which, IMO, is the message that his attorneys and publicists should be sending. A smack in the face of every woman and every man who has women in their life that they love. Mean words are over 40x as bad as rape.

Under-seasoned western food in Thailand
impulse replied to Everyman's topic in Western Food in Thailand
Most of the Thai places I eat do not have salt and pepper at the table, so I toss these in my pocket when I'm headed out. I bought them at the spice shop about halfway down the alley next to Wat Mangkon MRT station in BKK Chinatown. They have a website but it appears to be blocked today where I'm staying. They also have other keychain spices, but I just carry the salt and pepper. https://www.nguansoon.com/index.php?page=about&lang=_en -
White House Expresses Alarm Over AI-Generated Fake Taylor Swift Photos

You mean like all the millions of voters who believed throughout election season that the laptop was fake, but now they know better? But too late to undo their vote... That kind of fake conspiracy? -
White House Expresses Alarm Over AI-Generated Fake Taylor Swift Photos

Look for the the poll conducted by Redfield & Wilton Strategies for Newsweek found that 18 percent of voters are “more likely” or “significantly more likely” to vote for a candidate with Swift’s approval. They're pandering for Swift's support... While neglecting the real dangers of AI. -
Western society is doomed if these people are going to run it
impulse replied to uttradit's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Yup. US GDP went up by $1.5 Trillion last year and all it took was driving the the national debt up by $4 trillion in the same year. They figured out how to vote themselves money from the treasury. And that seems to be a common theme across the western world. I'm not sure how much more of that kind of winning we can all stand... -
Western society is doomed if these people are going to run it
impulse replied to uttradit's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I'm a little more optimistic, believing that we're at the "Hard times create strong men" phase. Though the whackjobs seem to have the upper hand today. Once they no longer have the freedom or the gas money (or gas) to get to their protests, they'll quiet down. -
Trump is dominating the primaries. That doesn’t mean he’ll beat Biden
impulse replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Do a little math. The lady is 80 now. In the '90s (what year, who knows? because she doesn't) she was in her 50's. The idea that a gazillionaire would take that risk to violate a mid-50's crazy lady is rejected by a huge percentage of voters. From her book, here's proof she's whack-a-doodle crazy. This one's not about Trump. It's one of about half a dozen other guys she's accused... “He steps into the elevator behind me,” Carroll writes, “and his pants bursting with demands, goes at me like an octopus. I don’t know how many apertures and openings you possess, Reader, but Moonves, with his arms squirming and poking and goosing and scooping and pricking and prodding and jabbing, is looking for fissures I don’t even know I own, and — by God! — I am not certain that even if I pull off one of his arms it won’t crawl after me and attack me in my hotel bed. Hell, I am thrilled I escape before he expels his ink.” https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/writer-e-jean-carroll-details-sexual-assault-claims-leslie-moonves-trump-1220302/#! -
I think he's referring to the temporal correlation between Biden being inaugurated and SHTF all over the world. Including Russia/Ukraine, Palestinians/Israel, Iranians/USA and don't forget energy prices and the southern border. Like Vietnam. It was Johnson's war, then it became Nixon's war, though neither one of them started it. Biden didn't start today's (and next week's) wars. He just failed to keep them from happening, like the Bad Orange Man with his mean tweets did.

All you have to do is fly into Thailand on an uncloudy day like I did a couple of weeks ago to realize that clamping down on auto exhaust to reduce PM2.5 will be futile. Notice I said "uncloudy day" and not a clear day. I counted over 200 agricultural fires, some of which blanketed hundreds of square kilometers with a toxic haze. I quit counting about half an hour inside the Cambodian border.
