  1. Of course there's corruption. D'Oh, I forgot.
  2. The phrase "Get a room" was never more appropriate.
  3. Who said she isn't? (It did seem to be more than an opinion though, which is also fine.) In fact I would encourage Ms. Rowling to share her opinions on a wide range of topics, any of her choosing. Opinions on Nazis are always interesting and revealing.
  4. Is this based on your personal experience? CBD oils are administered sublingually.
  5. I will not be shocked, when it is eventually revealed, that she's got one of the largest private collections of Hitler and Nazi memorabilia. What Nazis didn't do is a pretty weird bar to set. Given the original struggle between good and evil, which is the foundation of the HP arc, is based on the struggle between Britain and Nazi Germany this is a strange take. She's got her teeth into the Trans bit and she won't let go until everyone agrees with her.
  6. I think the RTN cover story will be that they were having a Manhattan Rebellion reenactment.
  7. Maybe this chap should check the kidney inventory to make sure he still has two.
  8. Yikes! That would be a MASSIVE violation of the law. We're constantly told that the monarchy is above politics. So to suggest a political party seek an audience with the monarch would likely lead to immediate arrest and incarceration.
  9. Surprised this slipped through the various reviews at the school. Sounds like the People for the Protection of the Monarchy Institution (Por-Por-Sor) (referenced in the linked article) have not been diligent enough in controlling the curriculum. The absolute last thing you want is the people developing critical thought.
  10. Jeff Yass. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/jeff-yass-billionaire-donor-investments-tiktoks-parent-company-rcna142531
  11. "Today we will be using a remote stand, and a bus to the main terminal building." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oesSyvh76g
  12. Thailand seems to be a magnet for criminals.
  13. It is revealing that the ultra-royalists were somewhat silent on the subject of reforms during the election run-up. Only after the public expressed a strong desire to support reforms did the royalists mount an attack. 15 June 2020... Prayut said HM King told him not to use lese majeste laws against civilians; opposition calls for its abolishing King Vajiralongkorn has instructed the Thai government not to use Section 112 of the Thai Criminal Code, or the lèse-majesté law, to prosecute civilians, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-ocha said on Monday. “You can see that today that we have not been using 112 at all.” he told reporters on Monday, “You know why? It was because the King was kind enough to instruct that it should not be used.” Thailand’s lese majeste laws protect the monarch and his immediate family from insult. Those found in violation could face up to 15 years in prison. https://www.thaienquirer.com/14457/prayut-said-hm-king-told-him-not-to-use-lese-majeste-laws-against-civilians-opposition-calls-for-its-abolishing/
  14. The Dobbs decision probably underpins some of this small erosion in support of equal rights for all citizens. The ability of SCOTUS to reverse long-held rights emboldens bigots. In a concurring opinion, Thomas called on the high court to revoke the rights to marriage equality, intimate sexual relationships, and contraception, as well. The landmark rulings establishing these rights, Thomas wrote, are “demonstrably erroneous.”
  15. Use your "new" router? I'd ask ee, or post on the ee community forum.
  16. Austin has intimated that BJT would welcome MFP MP's once they've been set adrift.
  17. Even though it will look bad to the larger world, the CC must dissolve MFP for their brazen attempt to reform the Monarchy. It might be a close vote, but a Court whose members were appointed by the King is unlikely to vote for a party that seeks such reforms. They must be made to suffer if only to discourage pesky peasants from rising up again. A significant percentage of the 14 million people who voted for MFP support reforms, but they just don't know what's best for them.
  18. "Global Hub" is about as silly as a "Land Bridge". His accomplishments would make the shortest book ever written. Crapiest PM ever, no given there've been so, so many horrible PMs here. OK, crapiest PM this century. His loved ones should take away the keys to government house before he does something truly catastrophic.
  19. In all honesty, immigrants are good for the country and the economy. In general, they are more law-abiding than us natives. The generational renewal that immigration facilitates is what makes us better, in so many ways. I do get that some people like to demonize immigrants, a tale as old as time. And that some people like to exploit immigrants. Donald Trump Paid $1.4 Million in a Dispute Over Undocumented Workers. Read the Newly Unsealed Legal Papers Donald Trump quietly paid $1.4 million in 1998 to settle a class-action lawsuit that alleged he stiffed a union pension fund by employing undocumented Polish laborers to demolish a department store to make way for Trump Tower. The amount became public this week after a judge released previously sealed settlement documents in response to a motion filed by Time Inc. and the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press in 2016. “This Order shall remain confidential in accordance with the parties’ agreement at the October 26, 1998 settlement conference,” reads the settlement agreement, which was signed on Dec. 30, 1998, by District Court Judge Thomas P. Griesa of New York’s Southern District. https://time.com/5039109/donald-trump-undocumented-polish-trump-tower-bonwit-teller/
  20. I think I saw it confirmed elsewhere, but when looking for a supporting article I jumped on the first, The Nation, which is a rumor.
  21. At least he is smart enough to resign as Finance Minister and appoint SET Chairman Pichai Chunhavajira as Finance Minister. The first intelligent thing he's done. Sheer idiocy to have made himself Finance Minister in the first place. https://www.nationthailand.com/thailand/politics/40036329
  22. He's got full use of a TG 787-800. https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/hs-tqa Sweet ride. Imagine how much revenue TG is losing by not having this aircraft available for deployment.
