Trump Just Pulled Out Of The Debate
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?

Bangkok could be submerged in seven years warns economist
Two options - move, as Indonesia is in the process is doing. Or build dikes. Either way, it will be very expensive.

Before coming to Thailand, I had no friends.: This is why I am so happy here in CM!
I prefer Death Hunt, with Lee Marvin and Charles Bronson.

Trump Just Pulled Out Of The Debate
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.

How stupidity is an existential threat to America
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.

Kamala Harris Sees Significant Polling Surge During Democratic National Convention
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.

Advice on car purchase Toyota
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.

Advice on car purchase Toyota
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.

Advice on car purchase Toyota
Hyundai and KIA are rated as better vehicles than Toyota nowadays. While Toyota retains the reliability cachet, it's a pretty staid brand. Have you ever been in a Kia Stinger, or Hyundai Kona N, before you posted the opinion they are inferior? I remember the Toyota Avalon in Australia. Critics said it suited buyers who had been dead for at least six months.

IIRC it was either Germany or Britain that came up with the first jet. I don't recall America inventing radar or decryption either. Charles Babbage came up with the first computer.

I'd be buying a Hyundai Kona N AWD. 1 million baht, seriously good car.

Advice on car purchase Toyota
A BYD is less expensive, although Kia is a top quality brand. It depends on the OP's ease of access to charging. It's more convenient to charge at home.

Wars are all about theft. Land, water, resources. Some are even fought over religion, which is utterly deranged. Old men send young men into wars, then stage ceremonies when they die to honor them. IMO there would be far fewer wars if those old men had to stand in the front line.
