  1. US defence spending on NATO is about two thirds of NATO total expenditure. Can't plug that hole any time soon.
  2. What you have linked is simply the abstract to a paper researching links between Covid-19 infections and myocarditis and doesn't even mention SarS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccinations.
  3. No doubt the narrative believers will soon be on here saying that the jabs are safe and effective and saved millions of lives.
  4. Yep. For the thousands of letters to schoolchildren NOT to give pre-emptive pardons.
  5. AI Overview Mustangs in Thailand are right-hand drive (RHD). While previous generations were exclusively left-hand drive, the sixth-generation Mustang was engineered for both left-hand and right-hand drive markets, including Thailand, which drives on the left side of the road. This means the steering wheel is on the right side of the vehicle, allowing for safe and comfortable driving in Thailand.
  6. Ok. Thanks. I take back my previous comment. Apologies. Yep there are good wines outside of France, Spain and Italy and to say otherwise is clearly wrong. Thanks for the educating me. "... Sure enough, Charles Shaw, the winery most wine snobs love to hate, has won the top prize in judging at the 2007 California State Fair Commercial Wine Competition, beating out hundreds of other wines, all of them likely costing more than $1.99 a bottle at Trader Joe’s. In its story July 12, ABC News led off by saying “Connoisseurs may cringe, the snobs may even sob, but the judges have spoken: California’s best chardonnay costs less than $3.” Judged at the state fair competition were 3,029 California wines from 640 wineries. Sixty-four judges conducted the tastings over two weekends ... ." https://syvnews.com/opinion/columnists/wine-country/two-buck-chuck-stuns-with-double-gold-medal/article_c3b619c2-611c-5b36-92cd-9e371ef8421a.html
  7. Unlike the last couple of years it would seem that the wet season has started on time.
  8. Ridiculous. The poll for what it's worth showed only 34% of respondents wanted this.
  9. It's getting messy. Anutin wants the top job, always has, but I cant see a path for him to get it. Fresh elections? PP will win. PTP hate him and they still have the numbers (just) even after BJT left the coalition. Interesting days and as always the army is the elephant in the room.
  10. $456-$650 USD is what you call "2 buck Chuck"? As for the AUS$22 red that won the prize I guess your knowledge of wine is much better than the judges that awarded the prize.
  11. Right hand drive models for countries that drive on the left hand side. Bit like left hand drive Rollers, Jags etc. which are right hand drives being made into left hand drives for the US. How on earth do you not know this.
  12. What's Anutin got to do with it. This is most likely ice or ya-ba abuse. Take too much of this stuff and you don't sleep for days and end up having massive paranoid delusions and a complete and total freak out. Having a few to many edibles won't do this to someone unless they are already suffering from a severe mental illness like schizophrenia.
  13. You obviously have no idea and you obviously have never had the pleasure of drinking a South Australian shiraz. Here's a short list of some "cheap copies" from down under (in Australian $). 1. Penfolds Bin 180 Cabernet Shiraz: Priced around $1,000+ per bottle. 2. Penfolds Grange Shiraz: retail around $700–$900 per bottle. 3. Henschke Hill of Grace Shiraz: A current release of Hill of Grace often costs around $700–$800 per bottle, 4. Torbreck The Laird Shiraz: commonly $500–$800 per bottle. 5. Bass Phillip Reserve Pinot Noir: recent vintages often hovering around $800–$1,000 per bottle. https://garrafeiradailha.com/en/blogs/news/top-5-expensive-australian-wine These are of course the high end of the market. Very, very good wines can also be found at the other end. South Australian red wine selling for $22 wins top nod at prestigious international award A $22 bottle of red wine from McLaren Vale in South Australia has won the highest accolade at the prestigious 2024 Decanter World Wine awards in London. Shingleback’s 2022 Red Knot Classified GSM – a blend of grenache, shiraz and mourvèdre – was one of 50 wines from around the world to be awarded the coveted best in show on Wednesday. France swept the awards, winning 12 best in show medals. Australia came runner-up, winning eight of the best in show awards, followed by Spain with seven medals. https://www.theguardian.com/food/article/2024/jun/20/south-australia-sa-red-wine-wins-decanter-world-wine-awards-shingleback-red-knot-classified-gsm
  14. That won't be a diet. It will be the end of NATO.
  15. Roosevelt Hotel NYC before sanctuary city and being a sanctuary city:
  16. Imagine then what the future looks like for Ukraine.
  17. I guess this was Trump's love letter to Iran.
  18. Really? What about the weapons and NATO funding?
  19. He's been POTUS twice and is worth billions. Not bad for someone who according to you is illiterate.
  20. I'd call it a mass cleansing rather than mass layoffs but it's CNN so the negative spin is mandatory.
  21. Illegal. This is something that is against the law is it not? If someone is in the country illegally then surely they have broken the law. Arrest and deportation is how that law is enforced. Same as it is here in Thailand. Same in Australia. I'm sure the list of countries where this is the same would be extensive.
  22. I guess if it wasn't for the anti-ICE hate rhetoric being pushed by the left and ICE were not being aggressively molested/attacked whilst doing their jobs they wouldn't have to.
  23. From what I linked: The survey, conducted by polling firm Cygnal between July 1 and 2... . From the OP: A Gallup survey in June... .
