Jeezus Cristo. One bad afternoon, vs a whole season of lefty violence and mostly peaceful city burning. Out of curiosity, how many Jan6 supporters bought mansions with their GoFundMe money? How many Repubs raised bail money for Jan6ers?

I wonder if he just dozed off, or were there any chemicals or booze in his system?

Tell that to the women and girls being forced to accept people with penises in their locker rooms. With lefty judges agreeing with the penises. And the recent one, where a kid plays on the boys' teams, but identifies as a girl so he can get into their locker room and watch them get naked. You need to broaden your reading list.

Because their kitchens are too small? That's why I didn't have an oven in Thailand. Not enough counter space, either.

They should offer a special visa for taxi whistleblowers. For as long as you rat out one bad taxi a day, you never have to run for the border.

Not just greenhorns. They're equal opportunity abusers. I can't count the number of times I've been refused or the driver shoots a price and drives off when I ask for the meter.

Out of curiosity, are the locally done autopsies trustworthy, or are they skewed toward protecting tourism? If she were my family member, I'd want an autopsy by an independent agency.

Thinking the same thing. A rough surf can undress people but it could also be someone forced themselves on her and drowned her as she fought him off. A full autopsy needs to be done . The OP photo doesn't show the kind of surf that would rip the shorts off a swimmer.

It seems rather suspicious that her undies weren't on.

You seem to have missed a few recent headlines about Solar Radiation Modification (SRM). That's exactly what they're proposing. Solar radiation modification: NOAA State of the Science factsheet | NOAA Climate.gov

I'm looking at the photo in the OP and I'm just not seeing the luv.

The place got popular so they jacked up rents and prices but didn't maintain quality. Now, it's not a good value. All of Thailand could take a lesson here.

Yet another wingnut conspiracy theory turns out to be true.

Is tukcom in Pattaya? I'm not familiar... I've heard of it, obviously. Just don't recall ever being there. I spend most of my BKK time in Chinatown each month, with at least one or 2 forays to Fortune Town and MBK. There are some repair geniuses in all 3. I'm in awe of how cheap they've fixed me up in the past.

Some parent won't teach their kids to swim because they're afraid their kids would sneak into the water and drown. They'd rather the kids have a healthy fear of the water. Even if they reach the steep, slippery shore (or a ladderless dock) they can only tread water for a limited time. They're just kids. Given that there are 2 different doctrines, is it really fair to contend that it's lack of care? Or is that just Thai bashing? Personally, I'd teach mine to swim, then put the fear of God into them to stay away from the water when there's no adults. But I wouldn't dream of accusing any parent on the other side of "not caring".

The flipside of that argument is that kids who can swim are more likely to sneak into the water when the adults aren't around. I'm not claiming either side is safer. I don't have those stats. Edit: But I'd add that there are a lot of places where the water is easy to get in, and impossible to get out on a steep, slippery bank. (Or a dock with no ladder.) Kids don't have that kind of judgment yet, even if they can swim.

You may be right. But I'd bet that some Thai guy sitting in a repair kiosk could root it and load a more current OS version.

There's 100 repair kiosks just in Bangkok that could have gotten you another 10 years out of it. That's one thing I love about Thailand.

No, those are the shills hired by the Dems heckling them.

Do you think there's some deep and philosophical meaning to Pocahontas doing her Nazi salute with her left hand?

Which one has the bonier fingers?

I'm a luddite. I want a cradle or cable that does all the matching and pairing and synching for me. Just plug in the USB-C (or Firewire) and out comes HDMI and Bluetooth and whatever else I need. I've actually done it with my Samsung Tablet, but it was too fiddly for a luddite like me.

That'll be gone in a month. Then what?

That's lefties. I'm perfectly happy to be happy.

Not suitable for arthritic elephant thumbs 🥰 Some day, one of the smartphone companies will come out with a cradle that I can plug my smartphone in and use a full size monitor, a keyboard and a mouse when I'm at home. (Or at Starbucks or the airport, or the hotel... or,,,) The processing power is there. And it would sure be convenient. I hate typing on a tiny screen. The first company that comes out with one and does hotel and venue tie-ins would rule the world.
