Hardly a correction. Just looking at it in a more idealist light. The truth is that even a single jihadist can kill hundreds of others and 23% can kill tens of thousands. One madman with a bomb can destroy the efforts of thousands of skilled workers. Terrorism is quite simply a cheap force multiplier. Factor that.

So each one became a loss and you kept on buying?

It was inevitable that the masses would eventually wise up to the very poor value-to-cost proposition that EVs represent. More thoughtful people saw it in the first two years of sales with high maintenance cost, poor range, insane surveillance built into the contract, and other factors. One of my bucket list items is to die before I am forced to buy an EV. The whole 'save the environment' thing is a cruel joke. We are way past that tipping point and still can't agree on a unified response. Humans may be the smartest animals but not enough so to stop their own self-inflicted demise.

Maybe a yawn but it is still reported here and on other English media sites. You're the one pushing unrest with falsehoods.

For engineering work Excel is absolutely the best. The rest of Office is OK but I don't need it. Now that I'm retired I still prefer excel after using open office. I'm getting a new laptop soon and will give win11 a chance but will enter the Linux world if 11 is too intrusive.

Get bank drafts for both fees

So instead you are being raped by ridiculous FX rates and 'foreign transfer' fees. So you are paying either way. I'm guessing you don't spend much here.

I'm back in the states in Colorado to sell my house. So I went to a local shop and bought some 28% THC. I got to admit that stuff knocked me on my ass. And I really can't take more than a hit or two. I don't think daily use of that kind of stuff would do me any good at all. YMMV

So what you quoted was written on a typewriter. I see.

I've been with my Thai lady for nearly 6 years and have deeply researched this whole topic of getting her a tourist Visa. Basically it's next to impossible for most people. At best it's an arduous and expensive proposition. Luckily she has seen enough about America on TV that she says she doesn't really care about going there. I guess I don't either because I'm back in the USA right now. Selling my house and divesting most of the assets I have here. After being here for close to 2 months I doubt I will ever return

Pitch is the character spacing, not the size genius. Capisce?

Your modesty is overwhelming gamma

Divine wrath for your mongering ways no doubt. 😃

What could possibly go wrong? Brake problems?

Could it be the Bat Cave?

You sound pretty sure of yourself.

Sounds a bit like the military 'advisors' that America sent to South Vietnam before the war. But I admit that I'm a hardline Chinese xenophobe. I don't trust the CCP as far as I could throw their entire country.

Agreed. There are literally millions of young thai women who would look that good with all the makeup and clothes.

Hacksaw blade held horizontally. Cut thru the bolts. Maybe it cracked because your butt was made in America and the seat in China.

I was thinking cleaning, laundry,food prep,'comfort' , and entertainment fpr the chinese astronauts.

Your beneficiaries will appreciate your decision.

Send it to Gamma the Glob of course.
