  1. I see, you have telepathic powers which can determine Walz's motivations in quitting when he did. 24 years of service is not enough for you. OTOH, you support a person who evaded military service by claiming he had bone spurs, which apparently did not prevent him playing thousands of rounds of golf thereafter. That's not ignorant, that's <deleted> in the head.
  2. In other words, it's funny when it happens to someone else, not you. Schadenfreude.
  3. IIRC you were the one taking me to task for correcting your spelling.
  4. Vance served as a journalist/reporter. Permit me to doubt he was ever at risk.
  5. Oh dear, Trump is a victim. He's made a lot of people victims. Karma is a bitch.
  6. It's been done before. Remember Rupert Murdoch and the UK phone hacking trials, or Alan Bond claiming memory loss? Remarkable how they recovered from an ailment which medical science says is incurable.
  7. Trump probably wishes Vance would develop cramp in his tongue. He's an absolute gift to both Harris and Walz.
  8. Enlighten us please. What is so stellar about Vance's record compared to Walz, given one passed out as a master sergeant, and the other as a corporal?
  9. It may lead to a greater incidence of cancers. However, these usually occur later in life, after parenthood. Toxins and poisons are most likely to accumulate in body fat, particularly anything with an organo-chlorine component. In other words, stay skinny.
  10. It's the money. No Thai woman committed to you would behave this way. No documentation, she has no legal rights to any of your assets before or after the "marriage". Do you have a will in which she is a beneficiary? Are you worth more to her dead than alive? Consider your options carefully.
  11. That says a lot about the resale value in ten years, assuming NETA itself is still a going concern.
  12. What's with the piviot? Someone has been listening to Trump speeches too much, and have picked up his habit of mangling words. Trump will pivot to anything he thinks will get him back into the White House, and keep him out of jail. He won't care how many people he throws under the bus with a pivot. It's all about him.
  13. Sorry, I don't buy a calculation that is based on a ZS, not the NETA V. I also don't buy theoretical calculations, based on experience. I once had the task of measuring a certain pollutant in a stack emission. The engineering design and environmental licence said the emission was X mg/cubic metre. It came as a nasty surprise to the engineers who built the system, when I got readings of 10-20 times X. They had made an assumption about one variable which was invalid. I was quite unpopular for a while, a lot of red faces. It led to a hasty renegotiation of the emission limits with the environmental authority. IMO you can work up results in a lab, or on a design table. However, nothing beats performance in the field.
  14. Not everyone is financial enough to be going to other states. Think before you post.
  15. I am wondering how Trump is reconciling his "no big deal" speech with the fact his VP pick is rabidly anti-abortion. Doublethink reigns supreme in MAGA world. I expect Harris will fillet him in the debate on this issue.
  16. Nothing. You are quoting susanlea's post to me.
  17. What will a NETA V be worth in ten years? My Vios is coming up to 20 yo, still going strong. Do you think a NETA V ( and more significantly, its battery ) can say the same in 20 years? IMO you missed the point of my post, which no longer surprises me.
  18. In every day market, usually with a small sachet of chili. Also on some roadside stalls. Has to be cooked, in its raw state it contains cyanide compounds.
  19. I guess that's why the republicans were so ropeable in 2019, their fixing didn't work as expected.
  20. It depends on perspective. We rack up very low kilometres in both. The Mazda 2 has just ticked over to 40,000 km. I bought the Vios about 10 years ago now. 230,000 baht, plus 30,000 baht to get it to my mechanical standards. Probably get 80,000 baht for it now. Utterly reliable. The Vios depreciation is 16,000 baht/year. I doubt very much the NETA depreciation is anything like that, given the way the new RRP has tumbled. It might be very nice to have a new NETA, to impress friends and neighbors. Not interested. I could only charge it at the house, not the condo. It might get used once every 3-6 months, driving to Chiang Mai. I'd probably have range anxiety. My very good independent mechanic usually charges me 1000 - 1500 baht for a service on either vehicle, and he does a much better job than some apprentice at a dealership. Checks everything. What's the point? It does not make financial sense to me. YMMV.
  21. I agree. People are sick of Trump and his chaotic antics, they want a return to normalcy.
  22. He got the job done with COVID, alright. Over 1 million Americans dead. Nobody knows how many of those deaths were caused by Trump putting the economy above public safety. He even put his own security detail at risk. His malign influence is still evident, red states lead blue in terms of COVID deaths.
  23. I doubt he is capable of that. This is more his style:
  24. Don't forget to check under your bed tonight.
  25. Is that what you know, or what Trump told you? Any gold in the plane as part of it, is only worth something when it is scrapped.
