Is mealworm allowed in Thai bread like in the EU since 2025?
impulse replied to TronxII's topic in International Food
Yet another wingnut conspiracy theory turns out to be a spoiler alert. -
I doubt that it'll be made in Thailand soon (if ever), but here's some eye candy from a company backed by Xiaomi, for $32,000 USD in China. 0-100 km/hr in less than 3 seconds. It's called the JMEV-01, but you can also Google SC-01. Released for public sale April 15. https://carnewschina.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/jmev_01_launch-800x450.jpg https://img-s.msn.cn/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1DIguk.img?w=768&h=1826&m=6

Is Trump the most corrupt US president in history?
impulse replied to spidermike007's topic in Political Soapbox
Is Trump the most corrupt US president in history? No. That dubious distinction probably goes to Joe Biden. At least in my lifetime. But thanks for asking. Edit: Though it's a close race with LBJ. -
I honestly believe that more and more are trying on despicable behavior so they have something to post, for the clicks. Just look at some of the stupid "challenges" where they do something stupid for the sole purpose of posting it. Some of it just irritating, but some is downright mean and even dangerous.

Honest question here... Other than "I like Thailand" (or the Thai family) what would be the impediment to picking up sticks, cashing in your 400K baht (or 800K) and moving to the Philippines? I'm looking more for a comparison of the legal and financial hurdles than a discussion of the relative merits of life in LOS vs Phils.. Is that even doable? And if a Brit did move to the Phils, would their pension be boosted all at once or would it just start where it was in Thailand and be adjusted each year?

MSM-Purveyors of Misinformation/Disinformation
impulse replied to dinsdale's topic in Political Soapbox
Can you imagine the screeching if they didn't let the mothers take their kids with them, because they're citizens and she's not eligible? It doesn't matter what Team Trump does. The MSM will paint them to be monsters. Like when Team Trump "put kids in cages", but what they were really doing is keeping out the pedophiles. Team Biden lost track of 300,000 kids. There's going to be documentaries about that in decades to come. Like those Canadian schools for indigenous kids. -
While that well and truly sucks, I suspect he's doing better than a retiree that's getting the full adjusted pension back in the UK. The saving grace back home is that a retiree can pick up some work. Not legal in Thailand. It should be a cautionary tale for anyone retiring with nothing but a state pension. You really need a nestegg, or you're going to struggle. Edit: On an aside, why not move to the Philippines?

Why Zelensky Won’t Bargain Away Crimea — No Matter the Pressure
impulse replied to Social Media's topic in World News
It still is. Just a little smaller now. But probably just as corrupt. -
Bow your head with great respect
impulse replied to Zaphod Priest's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
If you're talking about Judaism and circumcision, isn't that the same religion that banned pork, probably because they figured out that eating undercooked pork didn't work out so well? And that the wives of circumcised men suffered fewer "social diseases"? Whether either of those ended up being true, there's methods behind what may appear to be religious madness. Based on the science of the day. -
They're deliberately confusing vetted legal immigrants with those who have come legally and found employment in the health care field. Personally, I don't want an unvetted illegal caring for my loved ones. I'd love to see them invite more and make the process easier for those with skills we need. But not the ones that are going to end up costing (According to Mayor Adams) $36,000 a year per head.

One of their problems (as I see it) is that any reasonable candidate that isn't on "the list" isn't going to make it through the primaries, if they even make it to the primaries. And right now, "the list" consists of a bunch of wackos that don't have anything beyond Orange Man Bad. Harris was a perfect example. AOC, too. They gave away the 2024 election. It was theirs to win if they had put up a decent candidate. But the decent ones were primaried out. In favor of a guy that everyone knew even then was cognitively incapable. Instead of finding their voice AGAINST Trump, howza 'bout finding a voice FOR Americans?

Wow. I'll betcha that was cathartic. But you're supposed to write it all down then burn it in a campfire on the full moon. I think there are some chants that go along with that.
