  1. That's a problem. And the motive behind the proactive pardons. Why would they even investigate her role if she has been pardoned? They were done to sweep it all under a rug. Which is dodgy itself. And we'll probably never know if Biden was even aware of a lot of what was signed on his behalf. The only thing we know for sure is that he's an old man with such a poor memory that he was unfit to stand trial. And that was covered up.
  2. I wish they'd announce these kerfuffles in advance. Maybe they could sell tickets. Every street fight I've ever witnessed looked like 2 girls kicking at each other, but never really taking meat.
  3. The ads say they're capped at 50gb or 100gb/ month. That's a lot for normal users, but could be a problem if you download and/or watch a lot of videos. The guy at the kiosk that sold me the True SIM warned me that AIS is a limited plan. Of course, if you want to keep your phone number...
  4. It's about time. The first step on the road to recovery. Edit: And though I am a fan of the 2nd Amendment, that doesn't include guns for people with mental illness (like the syndrome). Lefties should be 100% behind confiscating weapons from sufferers.
  5. I think they count the guys scrounging water bottles to recycle for <100 baht a day as "employed".
  6. I keep my goodies with me. I don't trust hotel safes. Admittedly, it's been awhile since I've seen a hotel safe sob story, but we used to get several a month just a few years ago. Seems everyone and their dog knows how to open them.
  7. I'd also thank him for not revealing the sources of funding behind the studies he's always pulling out of... somewhere.
  8. Out of curiosity, does an international trip restart the 90 day clock? Or is it 90 days from your last 90 day report?
  9. Every single one of those parameters could be explained with variables other than vaccination status. It could be overall health. It could be overall access to health care. It could be reluctance to see a physician and actually afford it. Show me that study that followed the vaccinated and the unvaccinated through the entire cycle, including long term. Adjust for variables like pre-existing conditions, age, etc. You can't do it, because it hasn't been long term yet. But the studies I have seen don't look too good for the vaccinated in terms of all cause mortality.
  10. You'd get closer to the same effect those MSM reporters got if you stood in front of a burning TESLA while you say that. Like they did.
  11. You seem to think it's sad that gender dysphoria is classified as a mental illness, allowing the afflicted to get treatments paid for by insurance and gub'ment programs. The alternative explanation is that it's a lifestyle choice. Elective procedures generally aren't covered. They come out of pocket. Don't you think it would be cruel to withhold their treatment, or offer it only to the wealthy who can afford it?
  12. US must return Statue of Liberty to France – MEP We gave it to you as a gift, but apparently you despise it. So it will be just fine here at home. My source was RT, but it's all over the interwebs
  13. a) That's what the scientists told him. b) That was before the (public) data showed all the adverse events and poor efficacy. Now, everyone and their dog is trying to distance themselves from the mandates, if not the mRNA's themselves.
  14. I'll be that the readers of only CNN and MSNBC don't have a clue what the autopen controversy is all about. I Bing searched "biden autopen" and they aren't even in the first 5 or 6 pages of results. I'd Google it, but that's blocked here... I don't think the autopen is an issue as much as whether Joe even knew it was being done. I recall a discussion he had with Mike Johnson where he wasn't aware of what he had allegedly signed. He flat out denied signing it. And I believe him.
  15. You can't have it both ways. If it's not a mental illness, there are a myriad of treatments and benefits that aren't available through insurance or gub'ment program, and the patients can't afford the care they need and deserve. If you call it a mental illness, you're a transphobe. I'd rather be called a transphobe and see patients get the treatment they need. How about you?
  16. Kinda curious. Now that they have a flyover, do they really need that elevated pedestrian crossing? Or can pedestrians now cross at grade? Dollars to donut holes, it's a temporary glitch- an intermediate construction stage. Excellent fodder for Thai bashing, though.
  17. I'll let you know when I get to Bangkok tomorrow night. I didn't actually test it, but I was pleased at the time it took to download a bunch of YouTubes.
  18. I bought mine less than a month ago. True. Unlimited, 15mb/sec and 2990 for 12 months. For 100gb/ month limit, it was 2290. I splurged... The kiosk I bought it from (with the router) suggested True. And it's working great. I even downloaded some YouTubes on the train to Kanchanaburi in the middle of nowhere, just to try it out. I didn't expect it to be so effortless while traveling between towers. The OP is looking for a few months so it should be much cheaper.
  19. Get the phone service. You'll be glad you did. It's cheap, And it'll pay out the first time you're walking down the street and need Google Maps or want to find a nearby attraction and find out what time it opens. Or want to see if your taxi is about to get delayed 30 minutes in a traffic jam. Or... I actually bought a pocket router on my last visit to Bangkok, mostly because the hotel wifi was so spotty (but I do stay in cheap hotels). All in, with a one year unlimited data SIM was 4200 Baht, with 2990 of that being the 12 month data plan. Well worth it, to me anyway. The hotel wifi kinda craters when occupancy is high. Edit: In my mind, the question is whether to buy the plan at the airport, or in one of the zillion shops around town, and which plan to buy. Someone else will have to chime in to answer that one. And if you choose the wrong one, you haven't spent much. Caveat: wherever you buy the phone plan, they'll need your passport.
  20. Compared to the bad old days, Swampy has really upped their game across the board. In 23 consecutive monthly visits, I usually wait less than 5 minutes at immigration or security. Only once did I wait more than 2 or 3 minutes for a taxi, last month when the ticket machine was broken. It was just like the bad old days of 30 minute queues for a taxi. I do wish they'd install more seating in places where people do have to wait, like for our flights, downstream of security and immigration. But I suppose they want to herd the passengers into the overpriced eateries.
  21. Are they for eating or making jewelry? Collecting shells is a big (and nasty) business in the Southern USA. It's mostly a cash business (according to Forensic Files), so it attracts some shady characters. He wasn't collecting shells, but I lost a good friend in high school when he got tangled up in some roots while he was snorkeling in fresh water. He was an excellent swimmer, and the highest IQ in the school. Just bad luck (and no buddy).
  22. So would I. But not 8 hours of it. This thread got me thinking about all his hits that I can recall. There's some good stuff back there. Though I wasn't a fan of his theatrics, his music was great. And even his theatrics were tame compared to what's followed.
  23. Mark my words here... Next, the MSM will blame Trump for the massive increase in auto thefts and carjackings as the TdA and MS13 newcomers arrange their rides back to the border to avoid ending up in El Salvador.
  24. As I read it in the right wing press, the 5 deportees that brought suit are still in the USA. The judge overstepped his remit by including all the other deportees who weren't named in the suit. Judges can't proactively make rules. They're only allowed to rule on what's been brought before them. Score another for Team Trump. Keeping campaign promises. Edit: I'm open to being corrected. It is a fast changing story.
