Why is this writer tying fluctuations in the exchange rate to the political squabbling? Nonsense. Rates rise and fall for many reasons, but petty local politics is not one of them. Not unless an all out revolution occurs. Does Joseph O'connor fancy himself an economist? What's his agenda?

Maybe but unlikely. Highest it's been in two years is 38. It's been at 34 most of the year. But what these people aren't talking about is that the favorable exchange rate means more foreign money pours in.

He said nothing of the sort. Everyone is entitled to a fair trial. Until then a defendant is not legally guilty. The press is neither judge nor jury. Is this hard for you to understand?

It was non verbal diarrhea

In a formal setting, faecal matter should always be served on a plate.

Ordinarily sunlight would pose no risk whatsoever, this tank must have been grossly over pressurized, and whether the sun triggered it or simply someone handling it, it was a bomb waiting to go off. Whoever said that about it being out in the sun was speculating and didn't know the facts, nor do we.

You're right. I never heard of it either, probably because 99.999% of them ARE tested and certified regularly. I remember seeing the inspection tags on them at school when I was a kid. I think rules were probably broken in this case, it would take a lot of pressure to split one of these open like a can of sardines. What a sad thing. A lot of people must be distraught over this.

Metal fatigue, faulty valve, over pressurized, etc.

Absolutely not. I've never even heard of an actual case of this happening and I'm 66 years old. These are supposed to be inspected on a regular basis, at least in civilized countries, and changed out when necessary. Very likely it was long out of date and had corroded at the seams or at the valve. Just buy from a reputable supplier and check the brand name. Personally I would trust Homepro.

What we call "whack a mole". Same everywhere, same with drugs, prostitution, always been that way, always will be.

And a sticker on the knock off saying "my real one is at home, ask to see a picture of it"

Also, listen to your lawyers and pay them.

The head is a vulnerable place, as you know, all it takes is a hit on a hard surface or even a punch. Glad you were fortunate in your accident. When walking in Thailand I constantly remind myself to be aware of my surroundings, especially those tiled sidewalks when they are wet with unexpected puddles.

Note that this statement came from China's Li and not from any Thai official. They could be spinning this to their benefit. Meanwhile you can expect Western countries to have a very terse and firm response should this take place. Obviously what we have here is Thai government cozying up to China because of tourism.

I got a new passport last April and returned to the US in May. The immigration official is correct. The stamp from your old passport will suffice as to your entry, and then all you need is your departure stamp.

Are you familiar with the concept of insurance? Everyone pays a little bit in, creating a pool of money from which the insurance company takes profit but also enough to cover damages. Same thing here. So, what exactly is wrong with this, if everyone (except you perhaps) comes away satisfied?

yeah, the world is hard to understand sometimes, isn't it? Ever hear the phrase protected/endangered species? Look it up and you'll find explanations why no one is allowed to approach or interact with them. Might be over your head, though. Like climate change.

Rhabdomyolysis (also called rhabdo) is a condition in which damaged skeletal muscle breaks down rapidly. Symptoms may include muscle pains, weakness, vomiting, and confusion.There may be tea-colored urine or an irregular heartbeat. Some of the muscle breakdown products, such as the protein myoglobin, are harmful to the kidneys and can cause acute kidney injury. The muscle damage is mostly caused by a crush injury, strenuous exercise, medications, or a substance use disorder.

It’s the same everywhere, not just here. I don’t think crashing your bike through a plate glass window has anything to do with where it happened, it has to do with him driving through a plate glass window.

Ever since people rode on two wheels there has been this sort of carnage, and that is everywhere, not just here. One dumb mistake, yours or the other guy’s, is all it takes. Poor guy, and his family. I no longer make my mistakes on two wheels, but something will get me sooner or later

Do you suppose they have phones with no clock?

Thanks for the advice, but I’m already not stu pid

To impress people that they imagine need impressing. Like thieves

Ummmm, because maybe their passports and their names?

In the end she'll be able to use this to enhance her tiktok stardom. Maybe at some point someone will explain how to use Grab taxi or Bolt.
