A superfood, but it is the utility that sets it apart. A leftover slice .... toss an egg on, BREAKFAST!

No alert was going to warn people about an earthquake, better reporting after the earthquake might have been good, still :coffee1:

Warning about, say a Tsunami generating after ... yeah ... of course they refused to act on that back when, as it might damage tourism. Turns out the Tsunami did damage tourism. Go figure.

248 Mahidol Rd, Pa Daet Sub-district, Mueang Chiang Mai District, Chiang Mai 50100

Sloane's has a shop on the north side of Mahidol, just past the PTT, heading east. Its in a office Park, tricky to find, as you don't see it from where you turn in at. Not a pie connoisseur, but use their products, & for years. Sloane's is great. Using Chorizo sausage today, to add to a soup. Sage onion Dressing & gravy for Christmas (Thanksgiving) sides. Sold at Rimping & Tops also.

A NYPost article! The bargain basement of right wing US tabloids. The lefts obsession?! Really, Looks like Elon led the way, and the NYP pretends it is the lefts obsession, knowing that the MAGA chorus will start singing. :coffee1:

The controversy is particularly ironic given past Republican criticisms of private email use for classified government business. In 2016, then-Senator Marco Rubio lambasted Hillary Clinton for using a private email server, saying, “Hillary Clinton put some of the highest, most sensitive intelligence information on her private server because maybe she thinks she’s above the law… This is unacceptable. This is a disqualifier.”

Republicans always howl the loudest, until they eff up and the shoe is on the other foot. Fricking incompetents.

I accept that this has happened to you here in CM as you say it has always happened to you.....but that's the first time I've ever heard of that happening to anybody (again, referring to annual extensions based on retirement).

It happened to me in both 2022 & 23. Last October I included a 90 day notice form pre filled out, as I assumed a 90 day notice would be processed along with my Non – O extension based on retirement, (non family) as it had the previous years. Wrong again. This year they handed it back to me. Never assume anything about CM immigration.

The mental illness that dare not speak its name around here. If it passes can we use the term T----D------S?

The Republican Senator from Minnesota, Justin Eichorn, who introduced the bill to legally make “Trump Derangement Syndrome” a recognized mental disorder has been arrested on suspicions of SOLICITING A MINOR. :biggrin:

Who is ignoring Chinas role?! MAGA heads for sure.

Putin would never have invaded the Ukraine in 2022 without assurances from Celestial leader Xi. Recall his visit in February 2022 just days before he send his divisions into the Ukraine and triggering the deadliest land war in Europe since WWII. They both did the bro love thing, and declared a NO LIMITS partnership.

MAGA heads like to forget Putins greatest ally is Xi, not Donald Trump. The end result of Putin & Trumps puckery will benefit Celestial Leader Xi more than either of those two prats. Meanwhile they are yammering about the tariff war with China, not realizing how they are actually helping XI.

Rich Eisen & Graeme ?, The Scottish hoof trimmer, guy. Only two I might recognize, I wouldn't call either famous. If I saw them out here I would politely inquire where they're trying to get to, because THIS place, is not it.

Surrender or die

Vladimir's latest negotiating stance is kinda harsh. I would expect the Putin, communist, war monger, apologists, to massage that latest communique from the kremlin. :biggrin: People might take it at face value.

Back in the mid aughts/naughts, Koh Tao became famous among travelers for the motorcycle scam. Same as the jet ski scam. People claim they moved on to more lucrative & lethal activities in the years since.

Seems a bit left biased

Only because most articles posted here, come from The Daily Mail, & The New York Post, two right wing tabloids. :coffee1:

Putin ordered it you say? Not a surprise, he has ordered many bad things.

Are you claiming that they weren't so feckless and weak that they emboldened Putin?

No, we are claiming that Donald Trump is a soviet, er, Russian asset, either through honey trapping and money investment in his golf courses & resorts when US & western banks would not, likely both. Putin owns him & his MAGA heads. Capeesh

No idea how it works.

ill try and get up a review. Home pro is on my feed, & they were advertising it today. As a coffee junky, with a newly installed induction stove, I'll buy one, even if not a serious moka pot drinker.

In 2014 you guys did not care about Ukraine.

you guys ? :biggrin: Anything more specific?

Malaysia Flight was 17 shot down in 2014 by Russian forces, disguised as Russian Ukrainian forces. I made sure not to book any airline flying over Russia or The Ukraine airspace, after that. More expensive in a few cases, sure, but its my cash. Even back then Putins true mind set was easy to see,

No different to 1939. US started Lend Lease in 1941.

Because isolationist Republican senators blocked all attempts by President Roosevelt wanted to send aid in 39 and 40, until they were able, barely able, to get lend lease through. Something the Republican party STILL doesn't like to remember, or talk about.

After Dec 7, those very same senators and their party, who had stopped aid from being sent to nations fighting Nazism, wrapped themselves in the flag and became, wait for it, Super Patriots. :biggrin: Some things never change.

It seems that some go somewhere ONCE years ago and it wasn't " memorable" then it's written off for life? Never to return, that seems odd to me, if the location etc is pleasant, maybe they have a different owner, chef or staff, agreed that can go either way too, but write it off for life? Seems harsh and a strange outlook to me. i'd maybe give it a miss for a couple months then try again.

I'm sorry to disturb the sensibilities of The Good View fans & frequenters. However I go to Riverside, and have for, uh, is it, four decades or is it five now?! No reason to change and no reason per my dinner at The Good View. Again sorry if I bothered you with my review, which is what this OP was about, if I read that correctly.

Still I'll try and do better, but ... it is what it is.
Cheers

Seems that has to do with you and staff and nothin with the restaurant. I have been going to this place for 15 years already and never had issues.

There was nothing to recommend The Good View over going to a nearby restaurant I frequent. Friends who have been there since agree with my analysis. However, excuse, let me be specific, the food was good, but less than the Riverside and for a higher price. They also did not have the selection of Thai & western food that the Riverside has. The music, I can't really compare as that was just getting started when we left.

No reason to go back, not that I hate it. You pay for a meal & cover the bar tab, I'll meet you there, happily so. On the other hand, The Riverside; I go there with my wife, with friends, & even took mommy & daddy a decade back. I took them because I could count on a nice sunset ambience on the river, with a mix of Thai and western food that they would like.

PS Read my original post again - nothing to do with the staff, everything to do with sister in law & her husband.

March 10

Many years back. The Good View's food was fine, albeit nothing memorable. The dinner that night was memorable. Nothing to do with restaurant, it was the people. We are technically related, the first and last time we had a meal together. :biggrin:

No reason to switch from going to the Riverside. Been doing that for decades now.
