I called you on it and you still doubled down.

I'm not so sure. I recall having to enter my Thai phone number to access a lot of the "free wifi". In any case, it's pretty convoluted for the average noob tourist.

Sure there were. A few of them should have gone to prison. But not the grandmas who walked through doors being propped open by the cops. And that was one event on one day. BLM was around 8000 protests over an entire season of love and mostly peaceful burning and looting. Resulting on over 2000 cops injured and 97 cop cars torched and $$ billions of damage to mostly innocent businesses. Keep up that "sane" thing. It worked so well for HRC in 2016. "Deplorables" wasn't the only reason she lost, but it probably tipped enough votes to make the difference. Yesterday on Fox, a Dem operative predicted that Harris would be their candidate in 2028. We can only hope... What was Einstein's definition of insanity?

If they're selling $1.4 million of electronics to the USA (2022), they're sure smarter than the average penguin.

That's the difference between you and me. I think you're entitled to voice your opinion no matter how much I disagree. In fact, that's a difference between lefties and conservatives. Nobody burned down an Anheuser Busch brewery or a store selling Bud Light. TESLA cars, drivers, charging stations and dealerships? Lefties are attacking in droves.

That's intuitively obvious to anyone who doesn't have the syndrome. Edit: Even those with the syndrome knew it before, during and after 2016 and 2018. But they clammed up after 2020. I wonder why. Not.

I don't know. Seems to be one of those imponderables. And what if there are 8 levels? Or just 6?

The other thing that's missing is the fact that there were reporters in that cabinet meeting. And Trump answered their questions in real time. That's a whole different magnitude of transparency not seen under Obama's first, second or third term.

I'm sure that's precluded by the settlement agreement that we'll never be privy to. But if there was any cosmic justice, Fox would get a refund and compensatory damages. Plus interest.

Here's a quick philosophical question for the guy that puzzles me. If your spouse dies before you do and you remarry, which one do you spend eternity with?

But lefties don't let facts get in the way of a good Trump bash.

I walk past about a dozen people sleeping on the streets just between the MRT and my hotel. And that's on a main drag. No telling how many are sleeping rough around the corner where it's quieter. They each have a small pile of what I'd all garbage that they scrounge through to sell on the 2nd hand market or to the recyclers. Which probably qualifies them as "not unemployed" in the Thai stats, but apparently not in the IMF stats. IMF's Country Focus report emphasizes that over half of Thai workers lack formal employment,

#4 is precisely why I wear a flat cap to keep the sun off my bald head, and not a ballcap.

Is the OP looking for a color laser or an inkjet?

If that's the case, I hope they triple up on the AIS and True kiosks upstream of immigration so tourists can buy a Thai SIM before they stand in the immigration queue. There's lot of potential pitfalls, but I doubt any of them are deal killers. They already cleared up my first concern where the site was blocked here in China. It works fine now. (I suspect that ferreting out issues like mine and others is the reason they put up the website before May 1)

I'm surprised, because that just opens the door for social media shenanigans that would be even more dangerous than actually publishing the list.

I'm open to the possibility that several sides (including foreign entities) may be cheating. I'm even open to the possibility that Trump was pissed off because he didn't get his money's worth in 2020. But there is a plethora of evidence that the machines are hackable. On several levels.

Or we may just be food for the worms.

Nonsense that's been going on for decades, through many administrations. Leading to a $35 trillion national debt.

Yesterday, Chinese officialdom suggested anyone weighing less than 50Kg should avoid going outside for fear of being blown away by 90mph winds. (Not 90km/hr) Being well over 50kg, I went shopping. The streets were pretty much devoid of pedestrians, and I had a hard time getting in my 10,000 steps in North China. I could barely walk against the wind. Enjoy it while it lasts.

It's quantitative easing. Not quantitative easy.

Quantitative easy. Says all I need to know. You're parroting words.

Why should I spend the time, if you're not willing to run a simple Google search and find out on your own? Google "DEFCON voting machine" (add "village" if you really want an eye opener. Or keep your head in the sand.

1) Google DEFCON voting machines 2) Maybe not, but it (and any other missing machines) could be used to figure out how they can be hacked. The most disturbing part of the EBay story is that the state didn't even know it was missing until the buyer turned it over to them. How many more are missing?

Because it hasn't happened, and probably never will. The sky is not falling. But here's what is happening, from VDH who is a lot smarter than me:
