So no kitchen sink? Or is that used for production. Hopefully no Italian men get ahold of this happy water. Watch out for falling refrigerators. Just goes to show you that there is an oversupply of the happy water precursors (ketamine, meth), and some are getting creative in marketing in order to reduce inventory. I'm surprised that there isn't a crackdown on the Happy Balloons (NO2).

With the outcome (including the ultimate formation of a coalition governemt) impossible to predict - many savvy Thai and foreign observers are offering a range of three or four outcome predictions - the Powers that Be are getting a bit fidgety. They're balancing the future unknown, with taking preemptive action. In my lowly opinion, they should let things play out, election-wise. They can always jigger things later on, with courts, commissions, legal threats on individuals and such. Futzing with the election now would seem to be an admission that this latest version (12.0?) of Thai Democracy is a failure.

There are these threads quite often here. There have been worse. Room Rater gives this one a 4/10 with 0 being perfectly clean, and 10 being trash piled up more than 1 meter. Not that it matters though as you're not getting your deposit returned, whether as a 0 or as a 10. My guess is the young woman didn't know how to dispose of the trash, or was embarassed to be seen ferrying trash in public (phobia) or was a bit lazy. How is trash handled in these high rise condos? Are there receptacles on some number of floors, in the parking floors, outside?

Of course he used the word "coup" several times during his lecture. This sounds like a threat. I don't get why the military is choosing to fight the battle on conscription? Make the military a viable option by encouraging voluntary enlistment with financial and educational incentives. And if you need maids just hire Burmese like every other household.

Trump doesn't do receipts. Yes, I know that sounds like it should be attributed to Allen Weisselberg.

Agreed. Even Mussolini had an outline.

Why do you doubt it? And why would he bear any responsibility? That's not to say that I think he is unaware of the current situation, and of the current risks. I mean there are many analysts preparing briefs, and I'm sure he got down in the weeds during his four day visit.

I still had the many tourists behaving badly threads in my head, didn't read the post carefully and made a dumb post. Thanks for calling it out. ????

No vieo that I could find, the earlier event where he addressed the Debt Ceiling crisis is available. Text https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2023/05/10/remarks-by-president-biden-at-a-democratic-national-committee-reception-5/ Look, one of the things that I think is — I was raised in a family that I don’t think the fundamental principles that — that we were taught are any different if my mom had been — had been “Bidenopoulos” instead of Finnegan. She taught us that — and I mean this sincerely; I mean it from the bottom of my heart, and Father knows this. My mother used to say, “Joey, nobody is better than you, and everyone is your equal.” No — and if anything went down, “Just get up, Joe. Just get up. Never bend. Never bow.” Real simple propositions with my mom. And she was a sweet woman, and butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth except if you crossed one of her kids. But all kidding aside, the basic fundamental values that I find is that most ethnic communities are similar. And one of the things — I got to go back — not what I had planned on talking about, but I got to go back to Ireland for the — for the — the Irish Accords, to make sure they weren’t — the Brits didn’t screw around and Northern Ireland didn’t walk away from their commitments. Thousands of words, most of them extemporaneous, and yes, he could have finished the message without saying the "screwing around" bit. And yes, there will be some mending today, but honestly, let's not get too hysterical, or calling for Joe to get "care".

If the only outcome of a confrontation has to result in death then I fear where we might be headed. Given the choice to a.) walk away, or b.) physical action resulting in the death of a human being, I'll go with a.) It's also disappointing to read about some other riders on the car, two of whom (visible in the photo above I think) were said to have held Mr. Neely's arms during the ~ two minute choke out, and others said or did nothing. I'm sure (my opinion, I haven't ridden the NYC subway in 25 years) there are dozens of disagreements and confrontations on the subway daily. I guess I'm thankful all do not result in death.

I was most definitely wrong in my prediction that Trump would NOT appeal this verdict. Still not seeing the end-game for him on this, especially given his statements during the CNN Town Hall. Why keep this matter alive for people to continue to be reviled by? And has he ever won an appeal? (Given the number of cases, all civil so far, I guess he must have won at least one? Donald Trump filed a notice Tuesday which states his attention to appeal his loss this week in a New York City civil trial—which found him liable for sexual battery and defaming the writer E. Jean Carroll. The notice, filed in the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, serves as a precursor for an incoming formal appeal. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.590045/gov.uscourts.nysd.590045.179.0.pdf

Which is hard to do in a wheelchair, so maybe give him a participation medal.

Will be used for justification of the 300 baht tourist fee. Search and rescue fee.

Are there pictures of these walls on Hunter Biden's laptop?

Yeah they're out shopping for a ten foot pole at Home Depot.

You mean batting average? Season? Career? Santos is Rookie of the Year, for sure. An up and comer, even accounting for a brief stint in the prison rookie league. Trump is a lock for the Hall of Shame, based on lifetime stats.

The seasonal rush at the border is as predictable as the run on wedding dresses at Filene's Basement. So disappointing that there wasn't a plan to deal with this. I mean there's a lot of stuff to deal with but seriously? At least have a plan, articlutate it in advance, and execute it (not the immigrants). Right up there with flailing on Sen. Feinstein, which is a monumental failure. Friggin' Dems, we love shooting ourselves in the foot, over and over and over. Eventually we'll figure out how to shoot upwards through our foot into our heads. Give us time.

If you're going to sell me a Nothing Burger at least give me more than an empty bag. Feel sorry for Rep. Comer's wife. He keeps telling her that he'll satisfy her 'tomorrow', and she's had enough and is getting close to shagging the Amazon delivery guy.

Variety is good. And there is also specialty and quality. I'm not a huge buffet fan since I like more, smaller meals, but my three current favs are: Mo-Mo Paradise, nice balance of quality v. price Wisdom - not cheap 1,499 ++, but the oysters (fine de claire), mwah. Small plates, which is a plus. Homono-Central World

Yes, common sense, thank you. It's in short supply here. It's like the "OMG modern cannabis is super strong", which is leading to the decline of Civilization. Yesterday's (19xx's) pot was 10% THC, today's is 25% THC. I'm not that bright but I do understand the difference. I'll just smoke less, I mean it's not like cannabis comes in measured containers which I feel I need to drain completely? D'oh. I might drink a pint of beer, that doesn't mean I'm going to drink a pint of Everclear, just because they're both "pints". It's weird that many anti-cannabis advocates here feel the need for exaggeration and hyperbole to make their points. It's as if they know that don't have a good argument so they resort to the extreme.

Prison volleyball team looking forward to breaking in their next star. His presser was wild, he's got some stones... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIb-T1ZG_SU

"ignites fresh controversy"? Heck, he set the whole auditorium on fire. It would be easier to list his statements which were accurate and truthful, both of them, rather than the fire-hose of lies. Fact checkers be workin' all night. Look I'm glad he showed us what he is, but man if I were a family member I might try to get gramps back to Senior Care facility at Mar-a-lago ASAP. Maybe his corset/girdle was too tight? He can't wear it when he plays golf, so that's why he looks so whale-like in the links photos.

"we"? Is that you and your close friends? I knew i think we

Does anyone have a link to the 30 page "probe"? I searched, couldn't find anything.
