The FAA is not considering the use of cell phones for voice communications during flight because Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations currently prohibit any airborne calls using cell phones.

From the 26 September 2014 EASA has made it possible for airlines to allow passengers to use their PEDs throughout the flight, regardless of whether the device is transmitting or not, i.e. in ‘aeroplane mode’ or not. Of course, it is up to each airline to allow the use of PEDs or not. In order to do this, airlines will have to go through an assessment process, ensuring aircraft are not affected in any way by the transmission of signals from the PEDs.

So, slope shoulders from the regulator, down to the airline.

You might be surprised, gun-related deaths per capita in Thailand is higher than in the US.

Prove it.

Yep. Assumptions being made again. Just like elsewhere.

No if the child was made aware of the punishmey before he committed the crime

Crime, what crime? What law did this kid break? Who is judge, jury and executioner? The kid failed to submit homework on 3 occaisions. That's not a crime in any statute book. 

Jumpers, hats and gloves, huddling around charcoal braziers is the norm for the winter around my area. It can get damn cold.

A regiment is brigade size. For the regiment to just disintegrate is a shocking military set back. That will mean thousands of Russia soldiers just too frightened and refused to fight and probably deserted. Contrasting morale with the Ukraine resolved to fight and Russia force to fight. Kind of like Vietnam. 

If a regiment were brigade size, wouldn't be called a brigade?

The 240v gave away your Indian nationality.

India uses 230v. Please get your facts right before you start down a road you really don't want to travel.

The problem is not the pub the lack of enforcement of the law and the corruption ... so good that he is on an inactive post now. 

Yes it is. A lot of underage people to into bars. The bar is responsible for complying with the laws. 

Who the hell cares? It's not something that taxes my mind.

Thai culture is all about drink, driving drunk...

She had another job, she was a soldier. How the <deleted> does any of this make sense?

Imminent Domain" is to acquire land (not just any unused land) for public use - think land for freeways.  The owner must be compensated at fair market value.

"the power of the government to take private property and convert it into public use"

 

This is not the same as what Thailand (and Brasil) do.

It's eminent domain...all countries do the same, just call it a different name...

So even if you own it, you don't really own it if they can take it away.  This is crazy.

 

Upcoming drop in the crazy ask prices?

Surely you know you never really own land in any country...are you really that naive?

Possibly spending it on publicity telling people how good they think they are. Dogs are out of control in Thailand and these people getting them sterilized is a pointless exercise helping nobody as a sterile dog can still maim children and spread rabis.

I guess I was lucky. No soi dogs where I was. Every house had at least one dog, sometimes many more. They all were housed. Any dog that stepped into another dog's perceived territory, without its human, was told in no uncertain terms to go away.

One of my sisters in law had a female, another had a male, between them and other males in the village, she ended up with 12 dogs, all of which the wife and I paid to have sterilsed. I'd gladly have paid to have all the dogs sterilised, if that's what the humans wanted. But I made sure all the dogs in the village knew me, made sure they knew the pecking order. I have to admit, it was fun getting to know the dogs, as well as their humans.

Would I eat dog? I don't know. I eat other meats...just never knowingly tried dog...

Most of the Soi Dog's charity work involves funding to sterilize strays and find homes for them. What's so wrong about that?

And the rest is what...?

Limitation on terms? She was elected by the people...are you saying the people are wrong?

Nancy who?

Do straight people have to register their marriage in Thailand? Do they have to carry their certificate of marriage, translated into Thai if something goes wrong while in Thailand? Present that to the hospital? 

Another opportunity for a: No <deleted> Sherlock...

I read the article several times and can't see where the suspect agreed to fix the tyres 

I do see where the suspect said he was afraid his car would be scratched, as he considered the victim parked too close to him.

I also see that the victim is reported not to wish to press charges, but the suspect was fined B1000 for causing a nuisance.

At what point does a suspect become a perpetrator?

The vertical cracks are due to the brickwork against a concrete column and not being tied in. That seems prevalent...

You would have thought we would not be shocked by this. We continue to judge against our own moral standards.

We are obviously wrong.
