Those politicians did not have the ammunition Harris has. Trump will also be debating someone of different ethnicity for the first time. If he tries to bully her, or lets his racism surface, he will be turning off the female vote along with minority groups. A single mangling of a word, increasingly common with Trump nowadays, and Harris will be all over it like a cheap suit. Prosecutors are trained to home in on slips by hostile witnesses. It's a new experience for him. As they say, you can't teach an old dog new tricks. My guess is he will look really old by the time the debate is over.

The budget sounds a bit low for 90 sqm, IME it is pretty rare for any project in Thailand to come in on budget. I would add 10-20% contingency. Good luck.

Australians pay $7.50 for medicine prescriptions, a policy introduced by a leftist government. Americans pay small fortunes. That doesn't sound like common sense to me. Perhaps you like this kind of prescription instead.........

I understand this is Trump's agenda..........

Ask yourself one question: what understanding do you have of the Laws of Thermodynamics? Climate change and global warming are the result of the First and Second Law, respectively. Without understanding those, you are posting from a base of zero knowledge.

Politicians don't listen to scientists, maybe an economist has a better shot at being heard. You might also notice insurance companies are hiking premiums in areas that are vulnerable to climate change. Coast or bush, it's all the same to them. They don't get to live in huge skyscrapers by placing their risk bets on the wrong side of the ledger. Those large lending corporations are going to be sh!tting themselves, when the properties they have loaned money on can no longer be insured.

Agree, he has everything to lose when Harris takes a forensic scalpel to his lies. Difficult to have a big rally at the same time when the venues are less than half full, more leaving as he gets into his stolen election shtick. As I understand it, cities are becoming increasingly reluctant to have his rallies, due to the trail of unpaid bills he is leaving behind. He owes El Paso half a million dollars.

I hope Harris wins so all the MAGA supporters crawl back under the rocks they came from. No need to worry about them losing their minds, that ship sailed long ago.

Funny how Trumpets can't move on from Biden, but are so desperate to move on from the felon, pussy grabber, document thief...... you know the rest. What's YOUR exit strategy?

Two options - move, as Indonesia is in the process is doing. Or build dikes. Either way, it will be very expensive.

Biden is history, move on please.......

I prefer Death Hunt, with Lee Marvin and Charles Bronson.

It's the same game Trump played with the hush money trial. Ultimately, he did not take the witness stand because he knew he would get shredded. He debated Biden because he thought he could win. His handlers probably told him Biden was in cognitive decline. The same handlers are probably telling him debating Harris is too dangerous. As a former prosecutor, she has the tools to eviscerate him. Trump hates losing, or being called a loser. Being unable to interrupt or talk over Harris is a losing position.

Negotiating a lower price. Knowing when to call the cops, and when not to. Knowing how much is appropriate as a gift to a neighbor. Knowing how to get the poo yai on her side in a dispute. All stuff I am clueless about.

IIRC mynahs are otherwise known as rats of the skies. Or is it seagulls? Leftover chips on the Brighton Beach pier used to send the seagulls into a frenzy. No, it's pigeons.

We are allies, and you would be in deep sh!t if the Australian Government decided to shut down Pine Gap and North West Cape. You'd lose half your surveillance capability. The CIA would probably step in with a few assassinations. You are not nice. You protect Australia because the US is the majority owner of Australian assets, ahead of any other country. We have spent Australian lives and treasure joining in your stupid wars. We have made ourselves a nuclear target for you. The least you could do is show some bloody gratitude, you ill-mannered troll.

It's difficult to measure. My IQ is well above average on an academic basis. The mean Thai IQ is 89. Position 64 globally. I'd say my GF has normal Thai academic ability. OTOH, she is way ahead of me in terms of street smarts, but how does one measure that?

Countries do, it showcases their sporting prowess. Filipino gymnast Carlos Yulo was rewarded with substantial cash, a luxury condo and offers of lifetime free food from several restaurants.

I can drive a car with a manual gearbox. I can't drive a scooter with one. I admire people who can drive D9 bulldozers, or interpret a X'ray or CAT scan. I am not a party animal, and I don't understand such events where everyone is talking at the top of their voices to make themselves heard. Usually on the most banal of topics. IMO you can either keep pricking the balloons of stupid people, or give up on them.

His advisers are apparently imploring him to focus on policy. As usual, he is listening to no-one but himself. Attacking Harris works well with the MAGA crowd. I doubt the swing voters are as impressed.

IMO Trump selected the worst VP candidate possible, with the following result........

Maybe this is more to your taste........

Actually, I think this is reality......

Toyota have had several recalls, tarnishing the brand Hyundai have had a number of awards for high reliability. It also ranks high in customer satisfaction. I don't know if it is the same in Thailand, but my son's Kona N enjoys a 10 year/100,000 km warranty. My advice? Test drive one.

I have driven a friend's Kia Stinger. $20K cheaper than its Benz counterpart, 35% more turbo boost. A seriously good car. My son bought a Hyundai Kona N in February. The computer has 4 drive modes, Economy. Normal, Sport and N. The N mode is also known as the Jesus Christ mode. That's what people say when they first put their foot down. Really for racetrack only.
