  1. Received yesterday, June 16, 2023, Bangkok, 10110 (Phra Khanong). Mailed, airmail, today.
  2. How did you arrive at your recipe? How do you consume your "extract"? Can you add more safe alcohol at the end of the process, after fast cooling, in order to kill the botrytis and powdery mildew?
  3. This is one of eight investigations into law enforcement agencies opened during this Administration by the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department under Section 12601. The Department has ongoing investigations into the Phoenix Police Department; the Mount Vernon Police Department; the Louisiana State Police; the New York City Police Department’s Special Victims Division; the Worcester Police Department; and the Oklahoma City Police Department. The Department has issued Section 12601 findings reports in the past year regarding the Louisville Metro Police Department, as well as the Orange County District Attorney’s Office and Sheriff’s Department. FINDINGS The Department of Justice has reasonable cause to believe that the City of Minneapolis and the Minneapolis Police Department engage in a pattern or practice of conduct that deprives people of their rights under the Constitution and federal law: MPD uses excessive force, including unjustified deadly force and other types of force. MPD unlawfully discriminates against Black and Native American people in its enforcement activities. MPD violates the rights of people engaged in protected speech. MPD and the City discriminate against people with behavioral health disabilities when responding to calls for assistance. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-finds-civil-rights-violations-minneapolis-police-department-and-city https://www.justice.gov/opa/press-release/file/1587661/download
  4. When you're done doing your best James Comer impression maybe you could support this allegation, for starters.
  5. His gaffes are hardly new, I mean this has been his thing since the 1980's. 'I am a gaffe machine': a history of Joe Biden's biggest blunders https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/apr/25/joe-biden-2020-public-gaffes-mistakes-history I think he likes to ad lib because that's how real people communicate. I think it's a result of his sincerity, and he probably also thinks he's better at it than he is. The best reason mentioned is However, Yoni Appelbaum, deputy editor of The Atlantic, offered one theory for Biden’s closing statement. Applebaum tweeted, “Biden has the extremely odd habit of ending his remarks with cryptic phrases whose significance is mostly legible only to him. ‘God save the queen’ is also what he said right after certifying Trump’s election in 2017. He seems to use it to mean something like, ‘God help us all.'” Biden has the extremely odd habit of ending his remarks with cryptic phrases whose significance is mostly legible only to him. "God save the queen" is also what he said right after certifying Trump's election in 2017. He seems to use it to mean something like, "God help us all." https://t.co/JkwD7LMSF5 — Yoni Appelbaum (@YAppelbaum) June 16, 2023 https://www.mediaite.com/biden/even-pool-reporters-have-no-idea-why-biden-ended-gun-control-speech-with-god-save-the-queen-man/ 2016 Election certification hot mic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Tt-dxwLWmU Biden's speech at gun control event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LNSnR8ZFyc
  6. The four officials, including Tarit, were charged with malfeasance in office for filing criminal charges against former prime minister Abhisit Vejjajiva and former deputy prime minister Suthep Thaugsuban after they ordered a crackdown on red-shirt protesters in 2010, resulting in a number of protesters being killed and wounded. I do wonder if all the ultra-nationalists and serial complaint filers are ever charged with malfeasance? https://twitter.com/ThaiEnquirer/status/1669639522538393600 https://twitter.com/ThaiEnquirer/status/1669332599624568832
  7. After long questioning the idea of "woke" - rightly saying that no one can explain what it is - he's been trying to use the woke thing against DeSantis in the past few weeks. And he somewhat clumsily has been mentioning bathrooms and sports competition. But DeSantis has tanked, so trump may not continue unless opponents go hard on woke? No one expects consistency on policy/thoughts/ideas from trump. So hearing he may not have been anti-trans before, and now may be, is hardly breaking news.
  8. Like Joe Biden is gonna cave on his core beliefs for $ 5 million? He could get a book deal for $25 m. Heck, Jared Kushner took $ 2 Billion from PIF. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/05/jared-kushner-affinity-partners-saudi-arabia These rightwingnut jobs think Pres. Joe is like Dr. Evil, asking for "one million dollars". You can't make this stuff up, unless you're a republican zealot with little interest in legislatin'. http://www.disclosures.org/joe-biden-financial-disclosures/
  9. It's not me doing the "classification". You can Google "grey market". Most/many/nearly all phones sold here, regardless of store-front characteristics, are legally imported, certified, OEM, real, original, with warranty. Generally though, I do recommend you buy from a manufacturer's certified on-line shop or brick/mortar shop. Perhaps the biggest issue, besides the warranty/service ones, with say a Pixel phone is that these are illegal to import, and probably to possess and use. They have not been certified by Thai authorities (NTC/NBTC). If you want the phone, and there is nothing comparable (and there isn't re: Google Android UI, monthly updates (well no June update yet), years of updates, and understand the risks then go for it. But, chances are, there is a comparable model from a number of manufacturers, probably better bang for the buck too (given the mark-up for local availability).
  10. Grassely and Comer, Tweedle dumb, and tweedle dumber. ‘Maybe they don’t exist’: Republicans question legitimacy of alleged audio recordings of Biden bribery scheme House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, who also serves on the Oversight panel and has made the Department of Justice and FBI a target of his investigative efforts, told CNN of the tapes, “I have no reason to doubt anything Senator Grassley says, but I don’t know if they exist or not.” And Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, who led his own investigation into the Biden family in 2020 and has long peddled the notion of wrongdoing, said in a separate Newsmax interview, “I’m not even aware that we verified those recordings exist.” https://edition.cnn.com/2023/06/15/politics/republican-reaction-alleged-audio-recordings-biden-bribery-scheme/index.html This is like Benghazi Part Deux.
  11. Yes. One "business" (working) day. And my previous experience was three business days. Not sure why I used the wrong description, but I thought most could figure out my mistake, and what I meant.
  12. Time to get off our a$$es and do our job. Well that and take some of the attention away from the daily police corruption news.
  13. Tangmo. Isn't that usually a female nickname? Like the recently deceased Nida Patcharaveerapong. I assume these shows are somewhat scripted and that he was playing a "role"?
  14. Thanks, wouldn't have looked there... Headline translates Waiting to see "71 MPs" after the documents at the meeting The Election Commission has leaked social media IMO, leaks from the Election Commission are not a good thing, and probably against more than a few laws. The EC members/leadership should consider resigning due to incompetence.
  15. Looked, could not find anything. Can you share a link? This would be extremely problematic, IMO. No unattributed source at the EC should be releasing this information, nor should any news source publish it. I'll look on Twitter and FB.
  16. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/793 Nothing in the code about "being a spy". Recent Espionage act charges...I think Edward Snowden stands charged as well? Former NSA Employee Sentenced to Prison for Willful Retention of Classified National Defense Information Nghia Hoang Pho, 68, of Ellicott City, Maryland, and a naturalized U.S. citizen originally of Vietnam, was sentenced today to 66 months in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release, for willful retention of classified national defense information. According to court documents, Pho removed massive troves of highly classified national defense information without authorization and kept it at his home. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/former-nsa-employee-sentenced-prison-willful-retention-classified-national-defense Federal Government Contractor Sentenced for Removing and Transmitting Classified Materials to a News Outlet Reality Winner, 26, of Augusta, Georgia, was sentenced today to five years and three months in prison for removing classified national defense material from a government facility and mailing it to a news outlet. Winner was arrested by the FBI at her home in Augusta, on June 3, 2017. The parties filed a plea agreement on June 21, in which Winner agreed to plead guilty to the one-count indictment charging her with unlawful retention and transmission of national defense information. The parties agreed that a sentence of imprisonment for 63 months followed by a three-year term of supervised release is the appropriate disposition of the case. The Court accepted the plea agreement at sentencing. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/federal-government-contractor-sentenced-removing-and-transmitting-classified-materials-news
  17. Thanks for this. Can you share the source of this information? This would have had to come from the EC right? Not necessarily good news for Pita/MFP, right?
  18. Mike Pence judging wind direction hourly, and with 'Mother's' approval, barely dinging trump. This putz had months to stifle the delegitimization of the 2020 election, and only grew a pair at the last moment. He could have broken with trump shortly after the election, and all but guaranteed a decent shot at the POTUS in 2024, but no, he sniveled his way right up until Jan. 6. And even after that he was trump's stooge. He's weak, unprincipled and easily manipulated, that's why Manafort chose him.
  19. Networks of part of for-profit businesses, which are entertainment focused. ABC-Disney CBS-Paramount Global NBC-Comcast CNN-Warner Media Maybe loosen your grip on those pearls if you expect hard-hitting journalism from an entertainment company? It is ironic that Fox News is calling out others for under-reporting the shady activities of the Biden Crime family, and over-reporting on the legal travails of the leading republican presidential candidate.
  20. There is very little that he can do. He has little to no power, and serves under the Minster of the Interior and the PM. The police of course report directly to the PM. All he can do is slap a new coat of paint on the old bird, and hope she keeps flying. And push the big issues down the road for someone else to deal with. Amazingly he is only one of the two directly elected officials in Thailand. The other being the mayor of Pattaya. That's Thai-style democracy.
  21. AFAIK, Thaksin was not charged with any malfeasance or criminal activity for the "drug control" actions in 2003. There was a call from on high to deal with the problem, and he dealt with it. Did it go well? No, does any war on drugs go well? The number of deaths/killings associated with this action have been greatly overstated, but it is an emotional issue so it gets exaggerated in attacks on Thaksin. BTW the meth problem today is far, far, far worse than it was in 2003. There are ~ 325,000 prisoners in Thailand currently. ~ 80% for drugs, mostly Meth. I'd wager that more than 2,500, or whatever figure you want to pull out of thin air, have died as a result of Meth use, or as a result of the inhumane prison conditions. But not much yapping about that is there.
  22. Go to the AIS shop in Central World. It's huge, they have a lot of staff, but you'll have to take a number, obviously. There is a lot of construction in Siam Paragon currently, and I think the AIS shop there is somewhat impacted. The Serenade space is like those specialty spaces all the banks have in the top-end malls, for high net-worth customers.
  23. Who is on the Election Commission? https://www.ect.go.th/ect_en/news_page.php?nid=1905 How were they selected? All commissioners are appointed by the king, with the advice of the Senate of Thailand; for a term of seven years. The current commission is the fourth team of election commissioners, appointed 12 August 2018. Who replaces them when their term ends in 2025? There are so many fingers on the scales, all on one side of course.
