Aldi and Schultenbrau

Stocked up the holes in my Singha beer wall ... not want the same thing as last time ... Had to drink LEO. Yak.

Spying is what spies do, it's their reason of existance.

It's in this case not the NSA spying on their own people who they are supposed to protect and by whom they are payed.  And that people who bring that in the publicity become pariah's ...

A lot of butter on the head here ...

So I have fakes then but awfully cheap. 82 Baht/4pcs => measured 625 mAH discharge per battery.

I worked gubmint IT the majority of my civil service career. This is such a ridiculous statement to make. Shameful even for the likes of this career politician.

Maybe he meant humanity instead of IT networks. He could be right then ...

Come on folks. Common sense and Thailand have never gone together and probably never will.

It being announced in advance just means everyone will buy what they need the day before, so the stupid "ban" won't actually have any meaningful impact at all.

 

Yes and those overworked bar workers/owners can have a well deserved day off ...

Love it, saves me payment for 2 boxes of my favorite beer. Chokdee Mr. P. and the taxpayers of course ...

So what's the total budget for this "scheme"?

 

And who is eligible?

 

And what products are eligible? (Lottery tickets, cigarettes, alcohol?)

 

 

Imagining the articles in a year or two referencing the graft associated with this scheme.

 

Government hand-outs are fine for those in need.

 

Throwing money to the wind? Maybe not the best idea?

 

Yes, yes, I know, keeps people employed and shops open.

 

Maybe those people should find new, better jobs?

 

And maybe those shops should shutter?

 

I mean this scheme will end on 31 March 2021, right? Then what?

Relaxing the Cannabis restrictions is then meant as a first step to get spaced out?

"What" works?

 

Equality? Education? Cost control?

 

 

Prisoners wear uniforms too.

 

I have no dog in this hunt but the Thai edumacation system is, by all measure, lagging. Uniforms, rote-learning, haircuts, abuse, graft, discipline (beating) all seem to perpetuate a flawed system, and discourage individualism. I get that this is a feature not a bug, best to keep Somchai dumbed down on the farm.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Respectful approach at first. No prejudices because of their background cuz they can't. Individualism is good, discipline is better till a certain age, different to everyone. Then you have the baggage to make a choice, stay in a group based system (nationality, religion etc) or become a free- thinker. A uniform at school helps you to be pluriform later on ...

In Thailand?

 

Meh.

 

Every student knows where they/their family, and where everyone else, fits in the Thai social pyramid. Uniforms do not somehow make everyone magically equal, nor do they "hide" anything.

 

And there are uniforms for scout, sport, army, cheer "days". 

 

 

Uniform wear in the U.S. has really ramped up, must be over 20% by now? But such a thing is left to the local community/school board to decide, not the national "government".

 

P1-3, uniforms OK. P4-6, one day a week casual.

 

M1-6, uniforms OK, casual 2 days a week.

 

University: mandatory NO UNIFORMS.

 

If Thai society collapses due to clothing then they can always go back to mandatory uniforms, and throw in a bit of "Attitude Adjustment".

 

Even Thai officials and government offices have casual day now.

 

 

The Thai school uniform is merely the lipstick on the pig. And the pig is on it's last trotters. Time to shake things up.

 

 

It works with nurses, police, foot soldiers, etc.

If the Russians did it then there are at least 2 outsiders who have seen the emails, these Ruskies and the NSA ...

It's the only way, can't see the color ...

I thought the draw was/is live on TV? Just put some screens in the room which shows different TV stations broadcasting at that time and the people can verify that it is live indeed.
