"Jittakorn said he could not blame Latte, a Labrador and Golden Retriever mix, as she adored playing with balls and likely thought the bomb was a new toy for Krit. Fortunately, Krit had not thrown the bomb." I have to disagree. I seems to me that 9 year old Labrador and Golden mix should have known there was something strange about the bomb. I blame this on the Thai education system for dogs which is not up to standard.

I have had the mRNA COVID vaccine and several boosters. I haven't noticed any side-effects. However, yesterday I dropped a box of wooden matches on the floor. When I looked at them I immediately knew there were 96 matches. So there's that.

It is more directly related to the lives of forum members than the incident in Korea. Doesn't say that much.

I think the fact that he was charged with "reckless driving causing death" enters into it.

Yeah, your are right. Others have called attention to it. Seems like some people have made up their minds that the Thai police cannot be fair.

"The police assumed he was at fault with no evidence we have yet heard." You were no doubt expecting a call where they explained it to you. "I have no prejudice against anyone." You clearly do, you are concluding that this guy was charged based on no evidence because of your prejudice against Thai law enforcement. That you lack self-awareness is abundantly clear, that isn't an attack, that is just something you have demonstrated. Here are the facts that have been presented: An American man riding a motorcycle struck and killed a Thai woman who was a pedestrian. The Thai police have charged him with reckless driving causing death. But you somehow know that the Thai cops are charging him unfairly.

"all the assumptions I hear on this forum" Reckless driving causing death. What are you assuming about these charges? "They're quick to decide against foreigners regarding traffic incidents here, which is prejudiced thinking before any evidence is there." You don't have any information, just generalizing based on your prejudices.

"Police have indicated they will charge him with reckless driving causing death." There is an implication here.

Scuba is right, TENS is not a gimmick, it relieves pain. No drugs, no downside. I have used it for back pain as well, used to allow me to work when I couldn't stand up straight due to pain. Put the electrodes on, put the TENS unit in my pocket, pain under control. No reason to exclude it, it provides immediate relief. Using it doesn't prevent you from doing exercises.

Every well-informed person knows that the sacrifice most pleasing to supernatural beings is/are personal checks or banknotes quietly placed in a collection plate at a service in a Christian place of worship on a Sunday by a person dressed in their very best clothes.

It was in a clear plastic bag, there was no sign of mold. The mold spread, grew, proliferated overnight to cover the surface of the entire load. I haven't seen that happen with bread that contains preservatives.

Still?

A dumb kid fascinated with guns. So sad.

If you had not led a sheltered life you would not find this worthy of mention, And would not find the thread worthy of 20 some posts. Says: "Has it come to this???"; clutches pearls.

"The few times a year that I ride the skytrain in Bangkok, I try and spend the time counting the number of locals that are overweight versus the number that are not overweight. I would say it is in the range of about 50%." I don't get it. What is the fascination with the weight problem of others? I don't mean to single you out, every time there is thread about this many join in to bash fat people. Live and let live. I'm not mad at fat people. Doesn't this fall under the category of MYOB? Like the song says "If you mind your bizness you'll be happy all the time...", courtesy Hank Williams.

Maybe not, doesn't Santa work on the 24th?

My daughter lectures me on avoiding preservatives, meh. They might be harmful to health, apparently might not be harmful as well. I was in Laos and bought a loaf of bread in the evening. Next day I went to make a PBJ and every inch of that loaf's surface was spotted with mold. So I see why preservatives are used.

Is it OK to like Starbucks? If I have to wait for an appointment or to meet someone I like Starbuck's. People can find it and it has many locations (if meeting someone). Comfortable chairs (not tiny stools) and AC and tolerable music at a tolerable volume. With respect to price I walk right by Starbuck's and get a can of Nescafe at the market if I just want a coffee. Is it OK to like Nescafe? Many on here so desperate to demonstrate how refined their taste is and what they don't like. Thanks to many on this thread that have recommended restaurants and shops that they like. That is useful information. So many restaurants, although I would like to, I can't try them all. Happy Holidays!

Murphy's law is not about randomness. It refers to the impossibility of foreseeing every problem that might arise in complex systems designed by humans. When problems or events not anticipated by designers arise or occur "things go wrong". As far as not understanding what is going on, I understand perfectly. The system is not working as intended, that is what is going on. Access authorizations are not working consistently. The responsibility for knowing where that failure lies is not mine. As far the electronic financial/commerical system, everything works perfectly until it doesn't. My problems have all been with authorization of charges or access and from a failsafe point of view all the errors have resulted in denial of appropriate access which is a preferable outcome to allowing inappropriate access. Even still, access authorizations are not working consistently.
