Bangkok's Free Transport Initiative Sparks Criticism Amidst Haze Crisis
Emdog replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Try IQ air. https://www.iqair.com/air-quality-map/thailand/bangkok/bang-kapi Some numbers in area at 301 (above 25 not good for your health). "Air looking clear" is laughable at best. And if you were at Chernobyl, would you say "Air looks clear to me". Scientists develop instruments so our far from perfect senses don't over rule factual data. -
Chinese penis size matters: Cheeky joke blows up into beach brawl
Emdog replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Friend of mine (USA) says hooker friend of his said she'd seen lots of "long fives and short sevens...". This whole argument is somewhat pointless.... Years ago popped into my head this "Size of the brush doesn't determine quality of the painting" If a guy is a good caring attentive lover, willy size won't matter -

Fake hug scam strikes again: Indian man loses gold necklace to 3 ladyboys
Emdog replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
Unless the Indians were involved (such as insurance scam as so many suggest) what we have here is simple sleight of hand theft. Definition of scam "a dishonest plan for making money or getting an advantage, especially one that involves tricking people" -
Okay to remove the mandate, but I do question you saying "pure government waste". Just musing on working from home concept, for business or government, it seems like it would reduce waste. If it were permanent, less office space would need to be bought or rented; less maintenance costs (no heat, janitor, upkeep for building you aren't renting); it is far more "green": parked cars don't burn fossil fuels... could have more parks and less parking lots... So you think Pelosi only one casting remote? "171 U.S. House Democrats and 89 Republicans have voted by proxy since House Speaker Nancy Pelosi authorized the pandemic-era practice." (per Idaho Sun newspaper) I vote absentee, which is essentially the same thing... why not by proxy? You ever watch those speeches in the House? The ones showing only person speaking? Why? Because no one (or very few people) are there! Face it: Most members of congress are too busy trying to raise money for reelection to be bothered by little things like being present in Congress....

Meanwhile Trump wants felon he pardoned, also happens to be father to dear Jared, hubby to Trumps Ivanka, to be ambassador to France. Can we see that nasty bit of works credentials? Chris Christie said that “one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes” he prosecuted more than a decade ago when he was a US attorney was committed by the father of President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and top adviser Jared Kushner. https://edition.cnn.com/2019/01/30/politics/chris-christie-jared-kushner-father/index.html and then there is dear Kimberly Guifoyle, ex girlfriend of Don Jr, who Don Sr wants to be ambassador to Greece. Her credentials? former Court TV anchor and Fox News host.... hey, hosting is good enough to be defense secretary, surely enough for simple ambassador.... https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/12/10/congress/guilfoyle-to-greece-00193624 And Trump always seems concerned that "they're laughing at us" regarding foreign relations... and then he makes these sorts of picks...

Nah, they used the old interrogation method of hitting victims with phone books. Leaves no marks. Big question is where would they get the phone books these days? -
UK Envoy Announces Major Plans for 170-year Thailand Ties
Emdog replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Hahaha.... did they bother to inform those who actually got a declaration of war (Australia, UK)? "Oh sorry, never mind....how about a nice plate of pad Thai?" I'm too lazy to research, but I seem to recall that Thailand declared war on the US but the Thai ambassador never got around to delivering the paperwork... so technically weren't at war and does seem in line with many slippery ways of government here... And that 170 year number: maybe started diplomatic relations 174 years ago, but took out the 4 for WW2.. "We didn't say continuous..." -
If the work can be done from home at the same level as at an office, it makes sense to allow to do the work at home. Working from home is one means to fight climate change: no energy spent in commuting, no resources needed to build new highways, light rails, autos, buses, motorcycles, bikes even footpaths.... along with all the vast amount of energy saved from no commuting. No loss of land for parking lots, highways, rail ways, etc. The major downsides are to restaurants that depend on the lunch time crowd and maybe some negative unforeseen psychological impact due to lack of face to face interaction

Pete Hegseth Pledges to Restore Warrior Ethos in U.S. Military
Emdog replied to Social Media's topic in World News
That sort of statement shows your great disconnect from reality. "Time to go back to meritocracy" Warrior ethos may have once included drunken rape and pillaging... Your man Pete ticked rape and drunk... unsure about pillage Merit? Largest organization he ran had perhaps 50 employees... US military has around 3 million. And Pete ran the budget into the ground for both organizations he oversaw. Secretary of Defense can't be a drunk. Reports from his employees say he was often drunk on the job. Lame Republicans try to say "many senators have been drunk at work too"... but they aren't part of nuke chain of command among other things. Somehow saying "we're as awful as he is" is faint praise. So tell me, just what are his merits other than being a Fox weekend post and Trump ass kisser? -
Thai Woman Dies While in Police Custody in Japan
Emdog replied to Georgealbert's topic in Thailand News
I'm no doctor, but not taking her to hospital when she earlier had this condition seems negligence at the very least: "On 11 January, the woman failed to respond to officers at around 15:35 prompting a call to emergency services. However, by the time paramedics arrived, her condition had improved, and she was not transported to a hospital." -

Foreign man pickpocketed at Bangkok shopping mall entrance - video

Thailand Boosts Efforts to Reassure Chinese Tourists Amid Concerns

Trump and Obama: A Surprising Note of Camaraderie

Biden's eulogy was just fine and he wasn't lost Gee, why wasn't former President Trump asked to say a few words? Perhaps because he is a maundering hateful liar of the first order? -

Thailand Halts Plastic Waste Imports, Aims to Curb Pollution Crisis
Emdog replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
No need to import plastic waste: Thailand has reached it's pollution target via domestic trashing ahead of schedule. Around pandemic time Thailand banned plastic bags usage at 7/11s and similar store. That lasted about 3 months. Was the law ever repealed? Rare to see people bringing their own bags. I guess rationale of government is that Thais have saved enough of the earth so now back to trashing as usual -
Chinese Fraudsters Rob Fellow Citizens of 13M Baht in Bangkok Crypto Scam

All crypto is a scam: they are backed by nothing tangible; there is no "there" there.
