I made a boatload of money on Aus lithium stocks last year It's really not that rare of a mineral and requires a ton of processing to get to a battery grade end product 0.45% grade of lithium won't get any interest in the rest of the world, but of course in Thailand, it's a new hub

The best luggage you can buy is Briggs & Riley, available in Thailand? don't know Lived out of my suitcases for 30+ years in the oil patch, replace luggage every 2 years minimum, My Briggs and Riley is 20 years old and looks like new. If it gets damaged you send it to a repair depot (I have) they fix it free of charge OR if it's not fixable they will replace it with a new one. Tumi is overpriced 'name' luggage Samsonite will fall apart

Good news if verified, the A-50 fleet is being degraded bit by bit, not many left now

Keep bombing the refineries, keep sinking ships, keep downing planes The invaders country is slowly being hollowed out. No one saw the Soviet Union collapse coming and I think the next one will be the same

Driest place on earth, some places it hasn't rained in centuries. I was about 4 hours drive north of Antofagasta in the copper belt I've worked in Saudi, Egypt, Aus outback and thought I knew what a desert was, then I went to the Atacama desert, No rain, no life, not a single little weed or grass growing, no insects, nothing. The year I was there they were still running the Dahkar in south america, one stage came right by out camp, but they didn't show that on TV Sometimes I would just walk out into the desert and it was completely silent, very eerie

Having worked in Chile, you must know how to speak Spanish. I was the only English speaker in a camp of about 600 workers, and I don't speak enough Spanish to get by. Made for a long job. Down south is supposed to be nice, I was working in the Atacama desert which is brutal.

Financially smart on Taylor Swifts part $3 million per show While Singapore has declined to share how much it paid for the exclusive rights to the Eras Tour, the prime minister of Thailand said publicly that Singapore had shelled out up to $3 million per show. (Swift is playing six sold-out shows in the country.)12 hours ago

The endless cold war stockpiles evidently, have a bottom. They have a very limited to non existent manufacturing capability, jets, ships artillery pieces, tanks, etc. The tanks that do get supplied are refurbishments from stockpiles like this one, they aren't capable of making new ones, or artillery barrels, or steel, etc.

Writing on bomb photo: "For the children of Odessa. With hatred. Without respect". I think this is the French version of the GLSDB

I don't turn mine off, just let the auto off function do it's thing and I get 4 or 5 days before charging, read about 1-2 hours per night I've had Kindles and much prefer the amazon tablet YMMV

Get yourself a thobe, or as we called them in Saudi, a man dress

I bought a Amazon Fire tablet for less than a Kindle, on sale for $129.00 in Canada 10" screen, color, acts like a android tablet and a book reader. Very happy with it.

The money the US gives to Ukraine is mostly spent in the US buying munitions, so It puts a lot of folks to work in the arms industry. But the maga's believe it's money deposited into a Ukrainian account somewhere Of the $68 billion in military and related assistance Congress has approved since Russia invaded Ukraine, almost 90 percent is going to Americans, one analysis found. https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/fact-sheet-us-assistance-ukraine https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/11/29/ukraine-military-aid-american-economy-boost/ But do keep on with the maga talking points of "but the border" Your man moscow mike demanded a border solution and when presented with one, trump whispered in his ear to decline so he could have an issue to run on

He collects his pee in a bottle and then rubs it onto his body, and prays real hard YMMV

The pushback, free rainbow lawn signs Stay tuned

He actually has 9 kids, the oldest is over the age of 18 and noped out of going to russia with the family.

Ist class insurance, My Insurance company did pay to fix my truck and her Honda, at qualified dealers, not secondary body shops. The body shop repairs were very slow but of top quality. All the other extra demands she had, rental of Jaguar and 200,000 baht, pay for her lawyer were above and beyond them. Lawyer and Insurance both wanted to settle, with me paying of course, path of least resistance for them In Thai fashion they wanted me to pay her to make things go away, I said nope so she started a civil suit against my wife, that's why we landed in court. I told the lawyer, who I paid 30,000 baht that I would pay him 200,000 or more just to see Honda lady lose, that changed his thinking. To me it was more about standing up to a crazy bully, and we had a favorable outcome. People assume foreigner's will get shafted in Thai courts and it has not been my experience in several court cases I have been involved with

My wife didn't have a DL, police didn't care, insurance didn't care

My now ex-wife ran into a parked car in the park aid of our building when learning how to drive, she was alone at the time. She hit a 10 year old Honda with my Sport Rider, the car was quite banged up in the front due to the height difference. Lady owner was upset with my wife, but upon seeing me (white guy) she went into hysterics in the parkaid. Next day the onslaught started, phone calls, threatening letters under our condo door threating us with a Bangkok lawyer (we were in Jomtien) I got a call from an English fellow who was her friend threatening all kinds of legal trouble for me, kicked out of the condo because she "knew" people, deported from Thailand etc. She wanted - her car fixed, she had inadequate insurance - a Jaguar car rental while her car was being repaired - 200,000 baht cash in compensation I told her and her English friend to go f@#k themselves and the war was on. My insurance company was useless, they wanted me to pay a bunch of money in settlement, I told them no I hired a lawyer, the lawyer didn't want to fight but wanted to negotiate a settlement, I said no we go to court. It took about 4 months to get into a court room In court the lady Honda owner put on a Oscar worthy performance, crying about how she felt personal agony the moment her car was damaged, it was like her child, even collapsing in the court room. The judge couldn't believe what he was witnessing, he said he'd had cases where people had died in car accidents and not been this emotional. He called for a mediation between us and they gave the same demands as listed plus pay for their lawyer. I said no. Case was scheduled again for about 2 weeks later. Judge called me and my wife into a private meeting and said he couldn't believe what was going on, He offered to dismiss the case if I paid court costs and a small fee to her, total cost 40,000 baht for me. I said yes, paid the money to the court and left. The case came up for round 2, Honda lady and English boyfriend are licking their chops in anticipation of a pay day The judge enters the courtroom, all rise. He takes his gavel, says case dismissed and settled and bang job done. Honda lady looses her s#$t and has to be escorted out of the court room In the parking lot outside Honda lady tries to assault my 48kg wife, my wife, an Issan girl who takes zero s@#t from anyone up and punches Honda lady in the mouth and she goes down in the parking lot. We get into my repaired Sport Rider and leave. No consequences from the little parking lot altercation. Never a dull moment in the land of smiling people
