Respect...

They must be counting those guys riding their scooters with a few baht worth of cardboard to the recycling center among "the employed".

What are the odds that a Thai born kid with one Thai parent can be taken out of the country by a foreign parent without the Thai parent's permission? If that was easy, I know a lot of guys who'd be living "back home" with their child instead of eking out a meager living in Thailand, to be near their kid(s). If he got the kid a Russkie passport, the first question at departure immigration would probably be "where's his entry stamp?"...

OP title should be "Ukraine proposes kicking off WW3 and nuclear winter, and the US says, not with our equipment".

Probably the same staffers that know they won't be invited back if Trump is elected. And know that their fat consulting contracts with Big Business, Big Pharma, and the MIC depend on having a tax and spend (and spend some more) career politician in the White House. Vivek spilled the beans when he suggested they could dismantle 75% of wasteful gub'ment agencies.

Disney has tons of lawyers on staff, and trainees that would be picking lint out of their bellybuttons if they didn't have a mundane case assigned. Their incremental cost is peanuts. I think the liability limit is set by state law at $50k, but it would be interesting to see what the Pub settlement was. I feel for restaurants that have to accept liability for any number of food allergies. Imagine being sued out of business if a supplier used peanut oil instead of canola oil and failed to disclose. But I don't feel for Disney at all. I hope they also get the horse they rode in on. With punitive damages.

And thank goodness for that, when they have a 4 syllable first name and a 5 syllable last name. You run out of room on most forms. Assuming, of course, that's accurate.

Oh, Chicago is going to be so, so grand... Muslim leaders expect 100,000 pro-Palestinian demonstrators for DNC. Three main protests are being planned for Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, the first and last days of the convention. More than 150 organizations from around the country say they’ve formed a collective to have these protests be large in numbers, and while they represent a number of different interests, they say they will be focused on the Israeli-Palestinian war. https://wgntv.com/news/democratic-national-convention-chicago-2024/muslim-pro-palestinian-protest-plans-dnc-chicago/ DNC 2024 security zones and protest plans: What we know Regarding “demonstration zones,” a federal judge ruled in the favor of the city’s route for protestors near the United Center. A coalition of protestors said they’ll appeal. https://wgntv.com/news/democratic-national-convention-chicago-2024/dnc-2024-security-protest-zones/ I wonder if it'll be as grand as the 1968 DNC Convention in the Windy City. Because one thing we know about "mostly peaceful protestors" is that they won't stay within the approved areas, or the approved activities.

They came up with plenty, if you bother to read their reports. But impeachment is a political process and the Dems wouldn't convict Biden if he walked across the White House lawn with a bloody machete in one hand and a severed head in the other. Plus, they looked at Kamala, who's next in line. Best insurance against impeachment an old man with a limited memory could possibly hope for.

Out of curiosity, are there any open beaches in Thailand like the one in the OP photo, where you can watch wide body aircraft flying over, up close?

So, less dangerous than the buckets of unknown booze they sell? With whippets (that's what we called shots of nitrous my dorm mates stole from the medical school in the '80s), just like weed, I suggest legalizing it, controlling the quality and distribution and taxing the beejeezus out of it. And watch the tourists rolling in.

Pre-Covid, there was about a year when I regularly got pulled over at routine temporary inspection setups to check my diesel emissions. Complete with the sensor up the tailpipe. My 25+ yo raggedy 1993 Mitsubishi Cyclone always passed. But it was low mileage, and in great condition. The guy in the OP looks like he was just rolling coal to give the finger to the cops.

Wow. A lot of issues to unpack... Is Disney saying that I can't sue them if I signed a trial streaming membership 5 years ago and one of their trucks slams into me on a freeway in Ohio? And what does The Mouse have to do with the menu at an independent contractor that only rents space? My heart goes out to restaurant owners. Seems like the only safe thing to do is hang a sign that says "Our food may contain dairy, nuts, pork, seafood, and other ingredients that we may not even know about. We cannot agree to liability if that causes health or religious problems. Please eat somewhere else if you don't agree". But I'm sure that would be illegal in some places. Regarding Disney... I grew up wishing I could visit the happiest place on earth. Got my wish in the mid '90s when I started working in SoCal and went to Disneyland. Two trips on the same ticket. My first and my last. Ungodly expensive to get in, long lines for everything worth seeing, and ridiculous prices for all food, drink and pretty much everything. That said, I had one Texas buddy who came every year on one of Disney's VIP programs, and his family loved it. But he was pretty much made of money and didn't mind the VIP prices that reduced the queues because the park was only open to VIPs.

That's one way it could go. I can think of another that wouldn't involve a payoff, nor any chance she'd ever cause issues in the future.

If you want an odor free cat, good luck. If you want a low odor cat, get a female, have her spayed, use clumping cat litter, and count on cleaning the litter box daily, if not 2 or 3 times a day. Male cats (at least the ones my significant others have owned) have a bad habit of marking territory with a stench that just won't come out, and making god-awful noises when they're upset. Or horny.

I'm sure it was Trump's fault.

Last time around, she got on the pulpit and raised bail for the mostly peaceful city burners.

Just clarifying, the OP rents the condo? That doesn't make it okay, but it's a different scenario from changing the locks on a condo he owns. (Which the title suggests...) Changing the locks seems like a reasonable way to get the attention of the renter. I wonder if they tried to contact him in person during his absence, and had to resort to the nuclear option when they couldn't.

Do you have a clue how dangerous it is to shoot at tires on a moving vehicle in a public parking lot? Cops don't have a legal or moral responsibility to get the hell out of the way when someone's making an escape.

She died because she put the car in gear and tried to run over the cop standing in front of her car, with another cop in danger who was next to her car with his hand in the window. Thank goodness they stopped her before she ran over an innocent kid or an entire family in the parking lot, as she tried to get away.

She was in control of a 2000+ pound weapon.

If she doesn't do interviews, she doesn't have to be burdened by all that came before. The MSM are rewriting her history for her. Making her immune to fact checks. BTW, someone remind me, is SF Red or Blue, and where did Harris cut her teeth fighting crime? The last remaining Denny’s in San Francisco has shuttered after nearly 25 years. The 24-hour diner chain’s 816 Mission St. location closed Aug. 1, franchise owner Chris Haque told SFGATE. As of Aug. 12, the Denny’s sign has been painted over. “We’re the only store left, and we operated until the last day that we could,” Haque said. “The cost of doing business is tremendous. There’s vandalism, and people come and eat and walk away, and there’s no one to stop them.” https://www.sfgate.com/food/article/sf-dennys-closed-19652076.php

Seems like Musk has invited Harris to do an interview of the same format. I'm looking forward to her holding a cogent conversation for an hour. But I doubt it's going to happen.

The way I read it (Edit: past tense of read, it goes back awhile), she was found guilty of backing up the data on the machines before they illegally deleted the records. On a related topic: Surprise, surprise. Organizers and participants at the DEF CON Voting Village found cyber vulnerabilities in everything from voting machines to e-poll books, but there is no time before the November elections to fully implement their findings. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/08/12/hackers-vulnerabilities-voting-machines-elections-00173668 To me the only surprise is that Politico reported it.

Green dishwashers are different now in the US. They take over twice as long, and don't even get the dishes clean, and that's after scraping them clean before putting them in. But I guess they use less water per cycle.
