Lacessit

I am not a politician, so I can't say whether I would be competent at taking on a Presidency. That has nothing to do with my age. I think I can claim to be physically and mentally in much better shape than many of the 60-something foreigners I see here occupying a bar stool. Do you have some real data showing Biden is in cognitive decline, or is that the line trotted out by talking heads on Fox News? Personally, if I had a media that was waiting to pounce on the slightest slip I made in office, I'd be limiting their access to me too. They are known as reptiles of the press for a reason.

I'll ask my GF. My smartphone is used for reading books, playing music and taking photos. It's also used to make YouTube videos. I occasionally use it to make LINE or DUO calls. As Thais are probably the most socially connected nationality on the planet, it's not surprising they would regard smartphones as manna from heaven.

It can get quite chilly in Chiang Rai in December and January. All we need is a thick doona on the bed for sleeping, and a couple of small electric heaters I bought on Lazada. The heaters only get used for a week or two, in the evening.

I suggest you check out the speeches Biden has made when dealing with crises such as Ukraine, he came across as cogent and focused. Reagan and Eisenhower both were known to be nodding off in their second terms, no-one cared particularly because they had professional support staff. Trump is 76, his only talent as a politician is dog-whistling the fears and prejudices of a support base that is too dumb to realize he is just using them. I am 79 too, and I am getting tired of this ageist garbage.

My memory is good enough to recall I put you on ignore for lacking good manners, and I see nothing has changed.

I guess you have never had a lapse of memory, to be so strident about it. Biden haters will jump all over unimportant gaffes to distract attention away from the fact he is getting America back on the rails after 4 years of Trump chaos. He has a team of professionals helping him, unlike the toadies Trump preferred.

No, possibly because of his connection to the then Vice-President. Hunter Biden joined the board of Burisma in 2014, and left in 2019 when his term as a director expired. Other Americans on the board have been Joseph Black and Devon Archer. There is nothing sinister about having well-connected people on boards, if one was to disqualify people on the basis of their political connections most companies would lose half their directors. Again ironically, it was Trump's attempted blackmail of the Ukrainian president to dig up dirt on the Bidens that triggered his first impeachment.

Get it right, the "dealings" were a letter from an energy executive in Ukraine thanking Hunter for an introduction to his father. The only suggestion of criminal activity has come from Trump, a bit ironic given how fervently Trump has been kissing Putin's backside.

I agree. I've found I can get some products cheaper on Lazada, no membership fees there. I don't mind paying for a Netflix membership or a golf club, but when a food supermarket is charging for a membership and making an undisclosed profit on what they are selling, IMO that's getting pretty dumb.

I'd say an increase of nearly 8 million jobs and 473,000 of them in manufacturing is a pretty good outcome, but it is impossible to please some people. As for impeachment, dream on. Everybody except Trump fanboys is relieved there is an adult back in charge.

IIRC I ran into this snag myself, the solution is to delete whatever is in the fields and re-enter the email and password.

The passwords given out by Immigration are complex and tricky, easy to enter them incorrectly. I keep a separate file with all my passwords. When it comes to the 90 day report, I delete whatever is in the password field, then copy and paste the password from the file. Successful on the two reports I have made thus far.

It's someone else's property. Again, a rationalization, and an attempt at deflection. I still fail to understand why you would not simply move the cones.

I think you are trying to rationalize your action by passing it off as good fun or humor, then shooting the messenger. I don't get my kicks out of deliberately damaging the property of others, but I suppose we all are different. What do you think?

What's to explain? Reversing over traffic cones ( and risking damage to your own vehicle ) seems to be an extreme reaction when you could just move them out of the way.

Do you have anger management issues? Why not just move the cones, yours seems to be an overreaction.

Move them without damaging them, drive off. If that is too hard, I'd suggest weight training.

The OP is talking about the owners of the bolt cutters, there is nothing to suggest he is renting. A rottweiler, german shepherd or doberman is usually a good deterrent for burglars.

I have used WISE recently, found them to be very professional with excellent communication.

First I've heard of a Swift having insufficient ground clearance, is she driving in rice fields? Not a good idea to raise the suspension, what happened to this Suzuki at 50 km/hr might be a new experience for your wife.

It's quite clear the intelligence that is being provided to the Ukrainians by the USA has been invaluable in enabling the Ukrainians to strike at command centres, supply depots, and critical supply lines. How else can the record number of deaths of high-level Russian commanders be explained? Putin is doubling down on his gamble with threats and a mobilization, resulting in Russian men of military service age fleeing the country. He does not realize it's like watching a hold'em poker player with a flush betting into someone who already has quads. The USA and Ukraine hold all the top cards of morale and equipment, Putin has a demoralized army of conscripts who don't want to be there. General Winter is coming, IMO it will not be helping Russia this time.

He's restored the belief among other world leaders America is being led by someone who is competent. With Trump, no other democracy had any trust in what he said.

Hands over the eyes symbolizes a blocking out of the outside world during intense Sammabart meditation. This is jhana level meditation which can also cross-over into Abhinna.

I'm not teetotal, I enjoy a glass of red wine or a couple of Sangsom's once or twice a week. Or a cookie with some THC. I'd say I am quite healthy for my age. Having any substance control me would be anathema.

I gave up smoking in 1983. Before Jack Nightingale dies at age 70, he will most likely have a year or two of emphysema or lung cancer. If he's lucky, he'll go out quickly with a heart attack or stroke. I agree one should enjoy oneself as they go along. It's possible to do that if one keeps in shape, even at an advanced age. Having enough money helps as well. I see quite a few foreigners here following the Nightingale philosophy, drinking and smoking themselves to death. IMO it's pitiful their lives are so empty alcohol and nicotine are employed to fill them.
