I don't think anyone would say it is.  The point is that obesity is increasing in Thailand and it is bad.

Correct. Thailand goes the same way that many western countries went 20-30 years ago. Look at the US or Germany. Adipositas is increasing sharply.

If they expect to still have a tourist industry in 20 years, they need to start locking up all of the 50kg+ land whales until they get back down to an acceptable BMI.

I doubt this "special" tourist industry will exist here in 20 years. More likely Thai "tourists" will visit one of Europe's then third world countries.

BORING right wing conspiracy crap.

No. Wait.

It is Fox News.  It must be right.

Exactly! Everything that could touch the picture of Saint Joe must be a "conspiracy theory".

The difference betwwen many "conspiracy theories" and the truth is 12 or 15 months.

Is The Telegraph UK left or right?

 

 

The Daily Telegraph is politically conservative and has endorsed the Conservative Party at every UK general election since 1945. Same Same

Pfizer-Junkies can get their shots usually for free in their home countries .

Your c-drive has only 32GB? Is your computer a netbook (Asus and others sold those things a couple of years ago with 32GB flash drive).

If so, it's not upgradable and you should buy a new one, if you don't want to do a clean install and have the same problem again with the next bigger update.

My son is different.

I mus have made something wrong ????

at the age of 84 years.

He was one of the great Canadian singer/songwriters in a row with Leonard Cohen and Neil Young.

One of the heroes of my youth.

Thank you, Gordon Lightfoot, for so many hours sitting together with friends, listening to and playing your songs.

You may be gone but your songs will stay. Fare you well on a carefree highway.

The man was able to enter the US illegally four times, get a gun, rent or buy a home?

Don't let the orange man read this.

Seems the US-immigration does not use smart cars like the smart collegues from Thailand.

For some brain titans Osama bin Laden was a martyr too, not a terrorist

One terrorist less....

Funny, if Joe Biden calls other people "disoriented or confused" ????

you might still be able to access the online banking through the website (not the app) if your user is not locked out

Right! BKB online banking via their website works perfectly for me since years from inside and outside Thailand. Last transfer was yesterday from my to my son's account.

300 $ is what it cost me a month. to live comfortably now everything is bought and pay for.

 

Doesn't include replacements, holidays or the odd live it up night out. 

 

So you spend the 300$ on food, electricity, water and fuel. Do I understand right?

Seems very low to me but people are different. Only important is to be happy with the own lifestyle.

Just to clarify, Ralph (the black teen) went to the guys home by mistake

By mistake? Hmm...

But hey, who never tried to enter the wrong home when coming back from a long and hard working day. Happens every day.

You can hold a picture up to a Samsung and it will open the phone. 

Funny. You shoot a picture of the owner first, then print it out in the right size, then cut ist carefully - and then you realize, it's a newer Pixel-model and all your work was for nothing :-).

Btw: there are different ways to unlock an iPhone. You find the hacks in the net.

Seems to me lots of people who purchased health insurance end up the same way. 

So might as well save the insurance premiums.

Maybe. But following the discussions in insurance topics it seems to me the main point for many is to buy an insurance as cheap as possible.

The more important is to read the fine prints of such companies very carefully.

I know different people who got very expensive treatments in Thailand or even were taken back to Germany with crazy expensive emergency flights - all fully payed by their insurances.

And life is so much easier on an Apple device with face recognition. If my iPhone12’s face recognition system says it’s me that good enough for my bank so it must be secure 

And the difference to an android phone with face recognition is what exactly?
