  1. Yup veterans can be liberals too. Defending corruption from Elon - I wish them luck.
  2. Why should the endager themselves - or their constituents if nutty libs are going to turn up for props on politico?
  3. When you launch a DDOS attack - you do not do it from your own servers. There are networks of servers you can lease with bitcoin to launch attacks. Some viruses also hijack PCs to join in attacks. The servers you lease are in good old Russia, you can DDOS a site for as little as $300 a day. This was not somebody on their own servers behind a VPN - VPNs have limited bandwidth and rate limits. The VPN server would be a bottleneck.
  4. Must be very confusing on that side of the Aisle. Do they send out instructions on who to like and hate? I mean being anti-migrant this week must take some mental gymnastics.
  5. He makes rockets, brain implants, auto driving electric cars, robots, AI and much more. What is it you do again? The people that think he's a moron are clearly projecting. Talk about unhinged Funniest thing on the internet today that! Thanks for the laugh.
  6. Terrible behavior.,...
  7. They don't need to deport them - just stop paying then handouts
  8. It is incredible how ill-informed you are.
  9. Lol. I did once - never again! Max 80kg for passengers here - took a 120kg passenger once and it was like steering a fish
  10. You ever taken a really fat person on the bike?
  11. Been here 26 years - have never needed a pick-up
  12. The Toyota Cross looks a pretty good deal to me if you don't want something too big.
  13. The only problem the OP is gonna have. Once you have a car here - it's hard to go back. I lived I dunno - about 9 years in central Bangkok - but last 17 or so have been out by Moo Baan Nakkila or close to Baan Thap Chang station. In Central Bangkok, it was Rajadamri and Ekkamai - we never needed a car till we had kids and then it was just for the amount of stuff you have to carry around. Out in the suburbs - it's really necessary. Loads of great places around - like "Dawn To Dusk" https://www.facebook.com/p/Dawn-to-Dusk-Bkk-100063721536404/ and The Park with it's 4 story gym - not to mention all the new places on the new Krungthep Krita road. Different live - a bit of countryside with the Klongs you can walk around - but useless without a car. I guess it depends what you refer to as "the middle of Bangkok"
  14. The streets here are sadly not quite decent enough!
  15. Glad you are up to date. You know when you go out - and you put in a call to find out where the roadblocks will be on the way home, so you can have a couple of pints without worry? No - of course you don't. I've been here 25 years - and don't fear the dinosaur sexpats that may abuse my wife or daughter. I fear the mental impact of an assault of that kind on my wife and daughter. I also know the abuser would be dealt with. As for me being number 1 - I put myself on par with all expats here that live a normal suburban family life - but relative to Pattaya sexpats - yeah - I consider those to be a lower class of human.
  16. Yes - you expressed your opinion. It was "It's a guy slapping a girls ass. She didn't like it. Fine. Sorry.. Bye bye ". "Fine"? Really? That is your opinion? And you think that it shouldn't be called into question? Well now you know that "sorry.. Bye Bye" doesn't always cut it. That it isn't "Fine". That sometimes there are repercussions. Sometimes those repercussions might seem relatively extreme. Simply because you slapped the wrong ass. I am the opposite of being triggered - I'm not the one to cower in a corner at the mention of you guys passing off sexual assault like it's nothing. On the contrary - I just coolly and calmly told you that I intentionally dismantled the future of the last person that did something like this to my daughter. I am merely presenting another side to this discussion that has not been mentioned. That you might slap the ass of a small girl - but you may end up facing her father or brother - and he might be someone as passionate about his daughter's mental well-being as I am. I can assure you - that knowing her dad has her back and that every boy in the school knows that too - well - that's the sort of thing that let's a girl face school again after an assault. It's the ass-slappers that are getting triggered - as well as those, like you, passing it off like it's nothing. Well it is nothing - until one day it's something you can't put back into the bottle.
  17. Yes - people like you who publicly say it's ok to sexually assault a stranger in 7-11. If that was my daughter - the perp would be eating hospital food. And YES - my daughter was sexually assaulted once by a few kids in school - one was on a scholarship - and he is no longer on a scholarship or at the school. That screwed up his world. His parents could not afford that school, he'd already been scolded for taking a picture up my daughters skirt and showing the other boys. Guess where he is now? Not in an international school, not on a scholarship - just a crappy Thai school. He assaulted my daughter and messed up his life up in the process. I was just the angry dad that made it happen. The effect this has on the girls is not something I'd with on my worst enemy - fortunately my daughter got over it. Never underestimate the father. And you know - one of those girls might have a wealthy dad or a cop dad - and you would be seriously screwed. So yeah - 10 years? Sure?
  18. You can get a decent 2 seater Z4 M40i for about 5 mill
  19. You are a sex pest then. It is not acceptable to touch a female you don't know in public. I sincerely hope he gets the full 10 years. As a lesson to people like you.
  20. Jealousy is a b1tch
  21. Call Cris at CT14 - https://www.ct14garage.com/ I know you don't want a supercar but he's English and has a bunch of engineers that could go with you to inspect and suggest a price. He's a lovely guy and has helped me out lots of times without asking for anything in return. In fact - I took him and his wife out on Saturday to RR&B because it was the only way I could part with some cash on his behalf. He'll know people that can help. Note - I scratched up my wifes Z4 M40i - front bumper, rear side bumper and I reversed it into a motorbike. I'd also scratched 3 of the alloy wheels. He fixed it all for 13,000 Baht - BMW would have charged me 100k+ - I guess I got mate's rates - but it shows the kind of guy he is.
  22. Hi My son just moved out to an apartment close to University. He recently took his drum kit and other musical equipment with him. The drumkit cost over $300k, Other stuff around $100k - I contacted an insurer here who said max was 100k in total - which ain't much use. Now- I can already see there will be 3 type of posters here: 1 - why would you pay that much for a drumkit, is it a BMW - ya de ya de ya. For those of you - go have a kid that's been playing drums for 13 years, plays multiple instruments, sings like an angel and writes and produces his own music and see how you feel about getting him a pile of crap. 2 - Those with musical interests that might want to know about the kit 3 - Those with general advice about specialist insurers If you are in group 1. Do me a favor - don't force me to make you look like a bumbling idiot on here. Thanks With love Pete
  23. I won't quote Hope rates here - but it is not at all expensive
