Me too, but unfortunately it has nothing to do with the posts.

Thats to attract customers who want to drink... not because the pubs are responsible for any drink drivers.

 

The drink driving is already dealt with by the police.

 

Or not.

It doesn't really matter how sick he is. The question is how sick he is compared to the thousands of other inmates who are also sick.

Is he, who arrived seemingly healthy on his private plane, the sickest inmate of all of them?

And if there are maybe 100 inmates who are sicker than him, do they all get VIP treatment in hospitals for months?

 

The Thai prison system should obviously be concerned about their inmates. If they are seriously ill, then they should get treated.

And that applies to all inmates and all of them in the same way. A sick pick pocket thief should be treated in the same way that a politician is treated.

 

So, how many other inmates are sick and how are they treated?

I can't argue with your logic, and egalitarianism is a cornerstone of any true justice system.

However....... It rankles a bit to think of pedophiles, murderers, sociopaths, and criminally negligent people from trucking companies, electrical authorities etc getting such 'fair' treatment.

Such gray areas exist in all human justice systems but some can stretch credulity beyond understandable limits. Such as glaringly obviously dangerous, even proven bad actors, being able to run for high government

office in nominally sane countries such as the USA.

The older I get the less I understand so many things. I'm just glad I'm on the way out instead of the way in.

Agreed.

I'm not sure if it's gotten worse or I've just tired of the ping pong insults blighting every thread after the first five replies. Blocking certain prolific blowhards helps a bit, but not enough.

I also used to help with input if I had specific information that might help someone, as you just did. I don't bother now or spend much time here any more.

I agree with you, it's one of my pet peeves.

 

You compose a post which is clear and concise with a full explanation and clowns on here hit the confused button.

 

Then other clowns see they have hit the confused button and follow suit like sheep.

Think of it as moving down a one way street.

Impart your knowledge and move on. Don't look back at the silly icons.

Pearls before swine(sheep?).

As with so many houses, at least in my area outside Hua Hin, several of the 60cm floor tiles have lifted.

It started after a prolonged dry and hot spell a few months long. We notices one day several tiles lifted and loose.

I'm guessing that the concrete foundation shrank and the tiles expanded, both from heat. We don't air condition the entire house.

After many became loose, I lifted them and found the reason: they had been laid without mortar on the concrete floor, and with the large tile itself only 'buttered' with mortar around the perimeter in a ~ 1" wide band. We had one whole bedroom re-tiled last year and the tradesman was excellent. He mortared the floor and each tile. Also, at my request he left a 2mm margin between the tile edges, which is rarely done here. So far it has been flawless and I actually like the look of the wider grout lines.

But, sadly, he is so good at his job that he is booked months in advance on large home new construction.

We have exhausted our resources in finding someone competent to do the job. We've asked local Thai friends, my barber, neighbors, etc. Although we have gotten several phone numbers, they either don't answer or say they are too busy. I"m pretty handy with house DIY myself, but never did any tile work except some small shower tiles. It's much to big a job to tackle by myself and even removing the old tiles is more work than I want to do.

If anybody living in the area can give me some references or even ideas of how to get local references, it would be greatly appreciated.

Just wait until they gut social security and Medicare. Then getting sick could become a fatal mistake.

He took the best option and made a joke out of it. Stupid question anyway, as he'd be mad to say yes, even if he meant it.

Wait!

He's NOT mad?

If not, he sure has the lunatic act nailed.

Definitely.

First, my that Lady always drives, and second the truck is high, large, and heavy. We never drive at night or on national holidays.

That's next to the best protection you'll find in the Kingdom.

I'm saving up to buy a military surplus main battle tank or armored troop carrier though.

Wow, I didn't know that Trump was born with orange skin and there's nothing he can do about it. I had assumed that he was applying some kind of bronzing lotion. Thanks for clearing that up.

Nothing a few snoots of strong bleach won't cure. Bathing in it would be even quicker as well as therapeutic.

A New Zealand man who died of a gunshot wound is reportedly being tallied as a coronavirus-related death until an investigation is completed.

 

Robert Hart, the 40-year-old who died on Nov. 5 after allegedly being shot in Auckland, tested positive for the coronavirus, according to a report that cited police.


"Health authorities may test a deceased person for COVID-19 if their cause of death is not clear and if there is some concern that COVID-19 may have been involved, for example, where there is a link to a known case, or considering symptoms prior to death," a Ministry of Health spokesperson told the New Zealand Herald. "A deceased person testing positive for COVID-19 may also assist public health officials in identifying close contacts and taking any further action if needed."


 

 

OK. Now I understand your previously incoherent statement.

However, though I have no doubt such mistakes happen, I am even more sure that the vast majority of the people reported to have died from Covid did indeed do so.

In which case you are gagging on gnats. Elevating such isolated cases to relevance adds nothing significant to  the issues; as in 'statistically insignificant'.

Really, Can you post me the numbers from some countries that show deaths from covid and with covid deaths?

Typical clarity of reason;

Very persuasive reply.

Thanks so much.

If you haven't yet seen anything on covid-19 vaccine harm you must have your eyes closed.

If you have seen such evidence it just means that you've fallen prey to confirmation bias. Look it up.

Since I'm sure you have many respected sources that support your statements kindly supply a few.

Consider it a service to the ignorant/blind (such as me) of our community. It can only enhance your standing here. 🤣😏

Opinions don't qualify as fact unless they are substantiated.

Please do so, if you can find such support from anywhere except the lunatic fringe.

The facts are that this ship sailed long ago and sank quickly.

But carry on anyway, just don't expect rational folks to be impressed with your folk wisdom.

It would seem that the preventative jabs in this case may well have been detrimental to some staying alive and well.

Link please.

You're grinding a very old axe here and a bit more substantiation  is necessary, if you can find it.

I suspect it's no more than your personal opinion. Which is fine, but doesn't qualify as fact.

'You snooze, you lose' personified.

Classic mistake or insurance scam.

I stop reading when the writing turns into a jigsaw puzzle.

Whether ior nto to adjust your BOP meds depends on what yo uare takinbg buyt the adjustment would nto be to every other day as these merds do nto have that long an action. More likely a reduction in daily dosage.

 

What exactly are your meds? (list all not just BP meds as some others can reduce BO as a side effect)

What meds do you recommend to cure fat fingering the keyboard?

🤔😅

I'm glad that my pressure meds don't cause BO as a side effect too.

(Sorry. Cheap shot I know. But I had to take it)

Seriously, I appreciate your professional opinions on these issues. 👍🙏

What stumps me are the 3 'confused' reaction to my post above, what is there to be confused about guys or you don't understand the point i'm trying to make?

These icons might hold some minor value if you knew who posted them.

As it is now they're just visual noise.

I ignore them altogether.

There's no accounting for taste.
