Answering these questions can help refine a recommendation... How long will you be in the U.S.? What is your budget? How much data do you think you'll use/need? How many calls (minutes), remember you pay for both incoming and outgoing calls, will you use? What is the exact make and model of your phone? Do you need service immediately at the arriving airport? Are you AIS prepaid or postpaid? AIS offers some roaming packages which will at least get you started until you can source a local SIM. For five months, mostly data, you're going to need a prepaid SIM, with a monthly plan for which your CC will be billed. Peronally I would go with an Unlimited prepaid plan in the six-month category. For ~ $45/month (plus sales tax) this will give you unlimited voice, text and 40 GB of data. I like UltraMobile, they're a T-Mobile MVNO and in the process of being pruchased by T-Mobile, so the coverage is great. You could order the SIM, have it delivered to someone you know and will see or your first hotel, or you can find it in many stores. https://www.ultramobile.com/plans/ But there are others USMobile Mint Mobile

We're probably not too far from hearing about firearm-equipped drones being used in mass shootings. Then it'll be drones with guns don't kill people, people with drones with guns kill people.

My point was that it may be more cost effective to purchase cannabis than to produce it. Just think about folks with indoor grow rooms struggling to get their AC down to 25 with an outside temp of 40 today.

Yes, you're right, and I was WRONG. I guess my anti-gun predisposition kicked in and I saw what I wanted to see? Reports now say "at least nine victims were transported to the hospital". I can't say that's "good news" but certainly better than 61. I guess I should have known, but when I remember that ~ 500 were injured in the Las Vegas shooting 61 didn't seem crazy to me. Thanks for posting that.

I like bacon and sausage. I do not raise pigs in my condo, nor do I use my kitchen as an abattoir, or use my bathroom to smoke and cure meats. I buy bacon and sausage in the store. Can you grow cannabis in your condo? Sure. How much cannabis do you expect to need, per crop or month? I'd focus on the strain first, do not use bag seed. Do not scrimp on seeds. Maybe consider autoflowers (FastBuds for example). And I wouldn't scrimp on a light. You'll be lucky to get 1 gram/watt with a full spectrum LM301 style LED, probably more like half a gram. There are a lot of second-hand lights for sale on FB, from growers who quickly gave up. And you're going to have to deal with the smell. There are folks out there (in Thailand of course) who will contract grow your seeds, but they can be challenging to find and vet.

Sixty-one! Wow. I would expect that a significiant number of these will suffer lifelong health issues including the mental and emotional trauma and scars resulting from the incident. The gun lobby/industry has got to address the health, and mental well-being of the victims of mass shootings. And by "address" I don't mean 'tots and pears', I mean free and full, lifelong health insurance, and survivor's benefits.

Why? How difficult? Why not give people a louder voice? (That was rhetorical.) Ballot initiatives also increase turnout, so I can see why some would want to make them "difficult".

I'm not a big fan of this defense, but in this case an Allen PD officer was at this mall, on an unrelated call, heard gunfire, found the shooter and "neutralized" him, according to the Allen PD Chief in the initial presser. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Fcsxl_z-gk I think it's time for Federal and State governments to develop and deliver specific training for citizens which would allow them to utilize basic techniques to survive a shooting incident. This training should be live-fire, and mandatory for all citizens, including infants, children, handicapped persons, and the elderly. "Governor Abbott, serpentine, serpentine." Maybe the Department of Homeland Security, with their $52 B budget, and 260,000 employees could develop and deliver such a survival course, and start earning their pay and Secure the Homeland. I think this was a solo shooter, but there will be team-ups, like Columbine, that will use more sophisiticated techniques to increase the body count. We should all prepare for the worst. I still remember reading about what I think was one of the first mass shootings (UTA, Tower, 1966) and thinking uh oh. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Texas_tower_shooting The shooter, age 2...

DeSantis signed a bill a few weeks ago creating a six-week abortion ban, somewhat sheepishly. Ron DeSantis quietly signs Florida's 6-week abortion ban into law The governor had no fanfare around the bill-signing, sending out a news release late in the night. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/ron-desantis-signs-6-week-abortion-ban-law-florida-rcna78989

Sorry to interrrupt your rant, but this is a civil trial. And no, you can't speak with the manager. Rant on.

I think these notices get sent via SMS, to the phone number of the person billed. They then relay a mesage to all of us via a LINE group message.

You can check the MEA website for scheduled maintenance, which is what may have occurred for you (two nights ago)? Other than one scheduled maintenance, which MEA advised us a week in advance, we have not experienced any outtages in years. I'm in Khet Watthana (Vadhana) When I first moved here 20 years ago it seemed like we got an outage every day.

Until recently Carlson played a character on TV that was racist. There's no debating that. We can debate whether he's a racist when he's not acting on TV. I actually don't care if he's racist in private.

This clown should be arrested for spreading false information. Less than useless, he's a net negative for information in Thailand.

The gerrymandered super-majority in the Fla legislature will be along shortly to raise the bar on ballot initiatives, which have to be filed in 2022, and will require 20 million signatures, none of which can be a Disney employees or anyone who has ever uttered the word "gay".

Just to be very, very, very clear... It is Fox which fired parted ways with Mr. Calrson. It is Fox which is leaking these texts. It is Fox which is releasing the embarrassing behind the scenes video, even though they have sent a cease & desist order. You can find these by searching Fox Tucker Carlson leaked videos Media Matters. Hard-core fanbois should NOT watch these videos as you will twist yourselves into a pretzel "explaining" them, once you've reassembled your exploded head. Fox is flexing to keep Mr. Carlson in line while a settlement is negotiated. I have no doubt that his fans think he is sincere, once you've drunk the Kool-Aid you're hooked. I think he acts with sincerity, but his texts and words, off the air prove he is just acting. The Abby Grossberg case will settle obviously, so we'll be deprived of Tucker's sincere depravity. I guess we'll just have to wait for his eventual melt-down resulting in the police having to be called to his home.

OK. Maybe don't put the whistles and clappers back in storage.

Awesome. What could go wrong. The stuff we got up to with fireworks at age 14, oy vey.

And is it ok for undocumented minors to work dangerous jobs? What about ten year olds working the fryer at McDonalds. Can minors serve alcohol? We/I could work at 14 but we needed a special work permit (U.S./State). I was a barback at age 16 but we got dinged by the liquor authority. I've got no problem with Age 14 and up working as long as their parents approve, there is some governmental approval and oversight, can join a union, they get paid and are not exploited. Two 10-year-old kids found working at a Louisville McDonald’s until 2 a.m.—for no pay https://fortune.com/2023/05/04/10-year-old-kids-working-louisville-mcdonalds-child-labor/ Bill Would Allow 14-Year-Olds to Serve Alcohol in Wisconsin https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/wisconsin-bill-14-year-olds-serve-alcohol-bar/3131457/#:~:text=Updated on May 1%2C 2023 at 5%3A23 pm&text=Fourteen-year-olds in Wisconsin,alcohol to customers in Wisconsin.

"People" do not vote for a PM. MPs and Senators vote for a PM. OK, MPs and Senators are people too. And most people do not get what they wish for. There are so many ways Prayut could remain PM, some legal, some quasi-legal.

Samsung has a version of Apple TV (+) for their TV OS (Tizen), I use that. There is an Android TV version, I have that loaded onto my Chromecast. I do not believe there is an Android version (for phone or Android box) available, at least I couldn't find one. Maybe you could load the Android TV version onto an Android box? Not sure about the Android Laptop, maybe research that on your own to see if the Android TV version can be (side-) laoded? The Internet TV? Depends, can you share details, make, model?

https://tv.apple.com/th I think you have to subscribe to and pay for an MLS package over and above the 199 baht/month Apple TV (+) fee. IMO, Apple TV (+) is a bargain at 215 baht/month given the quality of the original series. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2023/02/mls-season-pass-is-now-available-worldwide-on-the-apple-tv-app/

I'd decide on a provider then look for a promotion. There are many places to find promotions but Youtube may be the easiest. Just look for a recent "VPN review" video for the provider, and there will be promo links in the description.

I would hope that any "immunity deal" does not prevent any of these 'electors' who are lawyers from being disciplined and/or disbarred.

More texts get dropped All the Texts Fox News Didn’t Want You to Read In more urgent texts to Bret Baier, Carlson wrote ““I continue to think the company isn’t taking the [sic] seriously enough. We need to do something to reassure our core audience. They’re our whole business model.” Carlson floated various ideas, including interviewing Fox News Decision Desk Director Arnon Mishkin on his show, to “help calm our viewers down.” https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/05/all-the-texts-fox-news-didnt-want-you-to-read.html
