20 years ago, I bought an HP laser printer and an HP scanner and came to find out that the drivers could not both be run on the same PC. Incompatible. So I've been a never-HP guy since then, and I don't miss them a bit. Too many better choices. I like Brother lasers... Never had a problem with any of the half dozen I own in different locations, even the cheapies. Epsons are okay, too. But they come with way too much bloatware.

I think she said the quiet part out loud during a CNN interview... CARROLL: Exactly. This would never - I would never have this window, this year of having the ability to bring a lawsuit for rape. Robbie can explain it better. KAPLAN: Well, E. Jean actually helped to get that law passed. It passed last year. We filed -- it was Thanksgiving Day. It was the first day you could sue. We filed just after midnight on Thanksgiving. And there are a lot of other women throughout the state and, hopefully, throughout this country that they will get other laws like this passed in other states. And New York women should use this law while it's still around, which is until next Thanksgiving. https://transcripts.cnn.com/show/ctmo/date/2023-05-10/segment/06 My guess is that all 3 of them realized the implications and STFU right after that gem of a statement.

I think that during his administration, Palestinians and Israelis weren't killing the heck out of each other. Not until 2 year into Biden's reign. Plenty of time for Biden to make another of his disastrous executive orders against all things Trump. Like at the border and Keystone. Neither were the Russkies and the Ukes killing each other en masse during the Bad Orange Man. And WW3 wasn't in the air. And I think results speak 10x as loud as the words that come out of (both sides of) their mouths. Hopefully, so will the voters.

Not to worry. The MSM will spin it to be the Bad Orange Man's fault. I miss mean tweets and relative peace.

One of my favorite clichés here is "Lack of curiosity isn't a virtue". Hard to tell what caliber they'll be without speaking to them... If Mazars or PW were to sponsor a competing event in BKK, sure I'd choose BKK. But I'm not sure either of them would be keen for my piddly business. Hua Hin is almost in range just for a good meal. Add a few hours at the beach, and it would be a nice getaway. With a bonus of maybe learning something.

I'm no longer a tax resident and just keep a token amount in my Thai bank account to keep it open, so I don't (yet) have a dog in the fight. And I'm not associated at all with any Thai tax attorneys. If I were one of those guys, I'd definitely get the advice of a tax expert before I started filing any documents with the Revenue Department. I'd hope that they start on Jan 1 with a clean slate, but I'd sure hate to guess wrong.

I think a lot of guys are going to find out they've been violating tax laws for many years, and they just didn't get caught. And a lot of guys already know they've been breaking the tax laws for many years... They'll be finding out if they can still keep doing it without getting caught. (I worked with a bunch of them) I'd take the drive from BKK to HH if I was in country that day... Though I'm sure some BKK tax lawyers will do similar evenings.

When was Fox indicted? I must have missed that.

I think he's got his causes and effects backwards.

Protecting the most powerful man in the world? I'd be surprised if there's not an emergency operating theater, too. Not to mention all the geezers from all over the world that visit. You don't want the President of Slobovia to cut a meeting short because he's got a headache. With a doctor and a pharmacy on staff, I don't get what this nothing burger is about. The doctor can legally prescribe pretty much any legal medication, and with a prescription, staff can go down to the in-house pharmacy. Seems like a gub'ment time saver and a frugal use of a resource that has to be there anyway. It's not as if they don't have health insurance to pay for it...

Weeraphon explained to reporters that the incident happened at 3.30am on Sunday One more data point, confirming that the wee hours are best for sleeping.

You forgot to say mostly peaceful. Like the MSM. As entire city blocks were destroyed.

I think that the credibility of the information being fed to the American people that may lead us into war is a pretty relevant issue. They've proven to play fast and loose with the truth in the past. That's relevant, too. I won't even get into Tonkin and the banana wars... More historical lies told to the American people to get us into wars.

You mean like they analyzed all those WMD's in Iraq?

As I recall, 2 women were killed by cops, a cop died of a stroke (Sicknick), and 2 participants died of heart attacks. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2021/04/07/capitol-riot-deaths-cause-death-released-4-5-not-sicknick/7128040002/ Regarding Roseanne Boyland, she died of an overdose just like George Floyd did... Check the videos, which were withheld from the public through the investigations. The cops beat the crap out of her. https://dallasexpress.com/featured/jan-6-capitol-police-allegedly-repeatedly-strike-unconscious-protester/

I dare you to call Snoop Dogg an Uncle Tom, like you did Tim Scott. Sometimes, a post reveals exactly who a poster is. That was your reveal.

You mean like the verdict after Trump's 2nd impeachment? The one that found that he didn't foment violence and insurrection? 'Cause, you can't have it both ways... Though the Dems would like that.

Verdict? The guy showed in real time how he could change votes using a Bic pen and a $5 USB chip. Even the most activist judge couldn't spin that one. And it's in the official court records.

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/

GDP is up by 3.3% and the national debt is up by about 6.7%, same year. GDP went up by $1.5T and the debt went up by $2.2T I don't know how much more of this winning we can afford. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/GFDEBTN

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

Good description of the Dem party of yesteryear. Today's? Not so much. Today, they even hate their own voters that don't toe the party narrative. They proved that in New Hampshire. Again.

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...

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.
