  1. Good for you. Evidently the jury did too, that and evidence. Between Trump's lawyer and Trump's video depsoition, and Trump's behavior during the trial, and Trump's truthing about the trial, he wasn't putting up much of a defense. Loser (Trump, not any member here).
  2. From the linked article in the OP... They've claimed, without evidence, that it's part of a "psychological operation" or "false flag" by the government to smear those on the right or far-right. Can someone explain the rationale here? Is it just to obfuscate the truth? Or is to deflect criticism of gun control, or the right wing neo-Nazi movement? Or is it just an attempt to confuse people and have them question everything? Including these spurious "claims"? I mean people were killed and injured, with guns, right? Or is that open for debate too?
  3. Like when? I'm guessing the first guest will not be Matt Taibbi. And now, instead of the Jan. 6 videos, which was an embarassing flop, he'll have exclusive access to The Twitter Files. BTW, his "free speech" was "restricted" by Rupert Murdoch, and not the Government, and only a result of being fired. He is still free to speak.
  4. More winning. And I'm not sick of it. On the plus side, he hasn't stood on Fifth Avenue and shot someone, yet, that we know about. Yeah, well that and the two women who testified that Trump did the exact same thing to them. Still trying to figure out what his "type" is, you know that he seems to become uncontollably handsy with. IMO, Trump and Melania should have appeared in court every day, and both should have testified, one in defense, the other as a character witness. "Donald vould never do such a thing, until after the prenup/NDA is signed."
  5. Stupid timing. Just gives Chuwit some attention and accomplishes nothing. Chuwit and Newin should settle their feud in the Muay Thai ring. https://thainewsroom.com/2023/03/02/chuwit-challenges-adversary-to-a-boxing-match-at-met-police-hq/
  6. OK, it would be more, rather than "quite", "believable" if can you provide the name of the dispensary where you made your purchase? How much weight did you buy? I assume you paid the 17% - 20% tax? I looked, quickly, at a few of the larger dispensaries in the greater Portland area, and didn't see any eighths for less than $20 ++ (so $24 all in). At $2 all in an eighth would be $7. All that said, if I were smuggling cannabis from the U.S to Thailand I guess I would source it in Oregon. Ganja glut? With excess weed, growers seek interstate sales In Oregon, where sales began in 2015, large growers have achieved some economy of scale that could give them a leg up in a broader market. But in the meantime, the state’s oversupply is considered the nation’s worst. In February, the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission reported marijuana businesses were sitting on about 3 million pounds (1.36 million kilograms) of unused cannabis, as well as 75,000 pounds (34,000 kilograms) of concentrates and extracts. Contributing to the glut in Oregon and to a lesser degree in Washington is that the states licensed so many growers. The initial idea was to ensure enough supply for the legal market, bringing down prices to compete with the black market. Oregon, with a little over half of Washington’s population, has hundreds more licensed growers. https://apnews.com/article/cannabis-marijuana-420-legal-california-oregon-washington-ae7880387eee7dbfcfecaff563d0b211#:~:text=But in the meantime%2C the,kilograms) of concentrates and extracts. Meanwhile in Missouri, recently went recreational, they can't keep up with demand and prices are actually rising. Missouri marijuana companies face product shortages, price hikes after adult-use launch The Midwestern market, which launched recreational sales on Feb. 3, is off to a sizzling start and on pace to break $1 billion in sales in its first full year. But strong demand from medical marijuana patients as well as local and out-of-state consumers has far exceeded operators’ expectations and resulted in the kind of product shortages and higher wholesale prices experienced in other newly launched recreational markets. In some areas of the state, particularly near the Kansas border, Missouri retailers are seeing foot traffic increase ninefold since expanding into recreational sales. https://mjbizdaily.com/missouri-adult-use-cannabis-companies-face-product-shortages-price-hikes/ Nectar: https://nectar.store/store/122nd-and-holladay/
  7. I searched, exchange coins site:aseannow.com and this topic has come up often but with little in the way of solutions. SCB did have some coin counting/deposit machines but I think they phased those out. You had to have an SCB account and the coin amount was depsited into your account. In this volume, I've been told by "finance people" (aka loan sharks) associated with Khlong Toei market, the amount is calculated by weight, and some sort of sliding fee scale ~ 2-ish %) is applied. A one baht coin weights 3 g https://www.royalthaimint.net/ewtadmin/ewt/mint_en/mobile_detail.php?cid=21&nid=302 Assuming you have a scale, or can buy one as they are relatively inexpensive and can be used for cooking and dietary portion control, then I'd break them down to 102 ~ 105 baht small food takeawy portion bags, bags. Label them as such. Then take five of these to the biggest local market and see what can be arranged. Rinse, repeat.
  8. Spelling, not grammar, officer. I don't think this one single.... Is what I meant. Put the cuffs away.
  9. Yeah, in la-la land. BTW, I actually like hearing these sorts of ideas, and would certainly throw this into the discussion mix. But, good luck arguing that position with the current Supreme Court. Limiting access to ammunition would constitute an "infringement".
  10. So a greenhouse with supplemental light is "indoor". This is your opinion, right? I'd agree that one has more control with indoor growing, and that higher yields might be acheived. But potency? Meh. Show me the "science" And your lack of respect for one of the most venerated Cannabis proponents in Thailand is noted. Sorry, this logic fails me. Yes, I did find that chart hence my reference to $4/gram, wholesale, at the Kilogram level. I think this is down to supply v. demand, rather than the maturity of the market. Sir, this is a Wendy's. Scanned your diatribe, but wow. Maybe distill it.
  11. Sheesh you're persistent. Cannabis was "found". "Found" cannabis is unsmoked. That's fact your honor. Did he smoke some of the cannabis? Dunno. Irrelevant. Cannabis is LEGAL.
  12. Unsmoked. Legal. Evidently no crystal methamphetamine found as he had smoked it all. He tested positive for Crystal Methamphetamine. No need or requirement to test for cannabis because, it's legal. Maybe he was saving the legal cannabis to help him wind down from the meth experience? Maybe the cannabsi was for soemone else? Seems simple enough but folks be havin' problems understanding basic facts.
  13. I've heard this "astute" comment made about everything including nail salons, hair salons, coffee shops, bars, go-gos, massage parlors, sex shops.... I mean this topic has been charting on the Barstool Banter Top 10 for at least twenty years. Can anyone explain how it works for cannabis shops? Who's doing it? Which currencies are being laundered? How many of the 4,550+ cannabis shops are involved? Seems really convoluted. But I'll believe anything.
  14. Tell me something I don't know. Like the winning numbers for the next lottery.
  15. Brake failure, after which he tried to do a runner. Who's "jumping on him"? I mean other than witnesses who restrained him when he tried to run? For now it's an accident. And he's only been charged with Mansalughter. Does this qualify as "jumping on him"?
  16. The anti-abortion zealots love to show photos of aborted fetuses.
  17. Dunno, but I'm sure we can find a liberal democrat to blame. Biden and Obama? Walt Disney? Back soon with some other options.
  18. Yeah, Tucker is a far better actor than Ms. McEnany. I mean she tries, so I'd give her a participation medal, but she's not believable as an actor. And the Fox base will find her grating after a week or two. On the plus side she's got a better cackle than Carlson.
  19. What do you mean by "outdoor", and "indoor"? For example, a fabric greenhouse with or without supplemental light? Is that indoor or outdoor? And quite a few longtime traditional Thai growers, like Aram “Uncle Dam” Limsakul, would probably disagree with your hot-take. As would growers in Mendocino and Humboldt Counties. I'd need a bit of proof to believe this assertion. Yes, some eigths are as low as $20 (before tax and fee), and bulk wholesale is as a low as $4 gram based on a kilo purchase. But I'm having a hard time understanding the relationship between the price in Oregon and in Thailand? I mean other than Thai smugglers should be sourcing Cannabis in Oregon, which they probably already are. I guess Thai smugglers could be buying on the underground/illegal, black/grey market. I hadn't considered that before.
  20. Following the lead of Emmett Till's mother? Emmett Till’s mother declined an offer from the mortician to “touch up” her son’s body, and she made the decision to have an open casket funeral. “I think everybody needed to know what had happened to Emmett Till,” she said. Mamie's decision would make her son's death a touchstone for a generation. At a church on the South Side of Chicago, Emmett Till's mutilated body would be on display for all to see. Fifty thousand people in Chicago saw Emmett Till's corpse with their own eyes. When the magazine Jet ran photos of the body, black Americans across the country shuddered. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/emmett-tills-funeral/
  21. Where's the good guy with a Range Rover when you need them? Texas driver charged with manslaughter after deadly Brownsville crash May 8 (Reuters) - A Texas man accused of crashing his car into a group of pedestrians near a Brownsville homeless shelter housing migrants, killing eight people, has been charged with manslaughter and aggravated assault, police said on Monday. Alvarez attempted to flee but was held down by several bystanders, Sauceda said. Investigators were waiting for toxicology reports on Alvarez to determine if he was impaired at the time of the crash. Police have not ruled out the possibility that the crash was intentional, Sauceda said. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/texas-driver-charged-with-eight-counts-manslaughter-crash-2023-05-08/
  22. That M Card discontinuation notice is here... https://www.scb.co.th/en/personal-banking/cards/prepaid-cards/scb-m-visa-prepaid-card.html Siam Commercial Bank will no longer provide SCB M VISA Prepaid Card, SCB M VISA Prepaid tourist Card, M Gift Card, and EM Voucher services (collectively referred to as the "Cards"). Customers may apply for/purchase and use the Cards until the following dates:
  23. I think it's more about "As a foreigner, how do I purchase a good or service, from a supplier." Direct bank transfer for POS/non-traditional on-line is pretty easy. Where it gets complicated is with services which require a credit card, like LINE, Grab, etc. Secured, virtual, loadable cards can be used in many (but not all) "credit card" applications.
