  1. Growing up in the '60s, I would mow lawns, shovel snow, rake leaves, wash cars, make and hawk trinkets in my neighborhood, run a lemonade stand, deliver newspapers 7 days/week, 365 days/year, and babysit. As I got older, I would clean the local movie theater before school, saved and bought diving gear and did light salvage (purses, winch handles, and outboard motors dropped in the harbor), and boat bottom cleaning, painted boats and homes, washed airplanes at the local airport, cleaned sewer pipes, shoveled shyte at the local greenhouse, did day labor on construction sites, etc. Pretty much anything to honestly and legally earn money. I feel like I worked my ass off for many years, learning a lot about making and saving money. My parents taught me NONE of these skills directly. They also wouldn't let me get a license until I saved enough to buy a vehicle ($600 USD for a 1963 Ford Econoline van, bought in 1969, equivalent to about 5K today). I know many of these jobs are unavailable now- but the lack of a strong work ethic prevents many from being creative. Being a creator/influencer is not really a great career choice.
  2. I want to see the NYS tax board investigate him. He low-balled value estimates on his properties to lower his taxes (victims = NYS residents). He high-balled his estimates to receive loans at favorable rates. The tax boards should reassess what he owes, based on his higher estimates, as he STILL CLAIMS THOSE ESTIMATES ARE ACCURATE. BTW, this is one of the reasons for the non-monetary penalties he was assessed. He STILL claims he did nothing wrong, therefore, he might try it again, given the chance. Engoron is not giving him that chance. He then has a choice of admitting that he either perjured himself in the Engoron case or that he also committed CRIMINAL fraud in the tax case. Can't have it both ways.
  3. Pity for the 6-year old, but how does this section of the law apply?
  4. He has just asked the court for special treatment (please don't make me post bond) because he admits in writing to the court that NO LENDERS WILL GIVE HIM THAT KIND OF MONEY I.IMGFLIP.COM i.imgflip.com
  5. What's happening around the 2:20-minute mark? Bunch of cops just standing around?
  6. I don't understand the refusal to stop, then fleeing. Looked like 3-6 Thai cops around them at a stop, along with some other guy that a Thai cop motions to "stand over there". Was this the original stop? If so, how did they manage to jump on their bikes and flee?
  7. Which one did you order? I had 2 Black Widows. The charging port was shot after about 2 months on each. Currently have a Flowermate V5 Nano, maybe 5 months old. Such a superior device.
  8. And not a single word on HOW this "better management", "streamline (ing)", "enhancing", or "alleviating" will actually be done
  9. I would think these would be the easiest to answer correctly. 🙂
  10. Wow. That's at least 250,000 hits of LSD
  11. From the article: "They are also reviewing CCTV footage and gathering evidence to identify and apprehend the actual suspect."
  12. Buried lead: "According to the police report, the 17-year-old boy held a long record of committing physical assaults on his friend, grandmother, and mother. However, the police did not press charges against him as it was a domestic matter."
  13. Sometimes I swear they drop the plans on the floor, then reassemble them in reverse order. Why didn't they do the improvements on Chaiyapruek BEFORE starting the 1-way on Jomtien Beach Rd?
  14. I'm sure Thai netizens are about to launch a major outrage fart.
  15. Got it. I was looking at the first stamp they gave me, which I can't read, but had my old PP# in my new PP. Curious, if one enters visa exempt, does one have a visa status? Yeah, got the OS stamp, 61 days! Mofos
  16. Oh, the irony! From the article: "Yes, come 2028, Thailand is poised to become the heartbeat of the LGBTQ+ community worldwide, showcasing not just its breathtaking landscapes but its monumental support for gender inclusivity. Last year’s Pride parade, a kaleidoscope of colors and smiles, was just a glimpse into Thailand’s welcoming heart. ...buzzing with anticipation to welcome the world to Thailand’s shores... Thailand is not just preparing to host an event; it’s readying itself to become a beacon of love, inclusivity, and unity."
  17. .....why?? Cuz she's Filipina and many of them come from her barangay in Manila.
