Iron Tongue

I'm having problems finding carbon fiber amongst the PVC attachment, chickenwire, mesh, fiberglass, and sheet metal. My guess is that some farmer's rotgut still exploded because he was too cheap to use copper parts for it.

Yes! I also do not speak dumb@ss and cannot understand the article. Even the headline confusingly combines Art & Toon, and even throws-in a mysterious jailbreak. Perhaps this is a leaked script for a new Thai soap opera?

At least he hasn't fallen out of a window so far.

Wish I knew about the gents clubs earlier! I've been going to Pattaya just for the beaches

Appears some of you didn't read the article where it says Landlord suspects the home was used as a marijuana grow house. Most likely the cabinetry were ripped-out to increase grow space and dark surfaces painted white to better reflect the glow lights. Unfortunate. With the roof destroyed by water, that home looks like it'll need a tear-down and rebuild. The tenant probably made enough money from growing weed to escape to his next destination.

It's disrespectful in any country for the locals and especially tourists to walk around bare-chested. Especially in the cities. Extremely low class.

I suppose things like this will happen when Russia has to pull mainboards and CPUs needed for their moonshot from smuggled consumer products like coffeepots, razors and digital cameras.

So this is outside and will be exposed to sunlight UV, as well as the elements? If this is the case do not use epoxy-based paints as epoxy can yellow or become cloudy when exposed to UV for long periods of time. For outdoors use, polyurethane would be a better solution.

I am so glad that a bargirl ran over and moved the upended chair out of the way... somebody could have gotten hurt tripping over it!

Impossible. Anyone who's ever hunted large game, or worked in a kitchen would have plenty of experience breaking-down a carcass. It's rather easy if you have the right knife or two. A skinner and a butcher's knife would be enough to take apart a moose. Having a cleaver would be faster, but messier. I'd think it'd be similar with humans as long as you don't have to stop and puke every few minutes. But a penknife wouldn't work.

What confusion? Obviously a Burmese in his waiter garb. ...and who ever heard of a Kuwaiti holding a job?

So he was originally wanted for smuggling ice into Thailand? Isn't that like smuggling cocaine into Columbia?

You've listed all the symptoms of sleep apnea, including your age. You keep waking-up because you have stopped breathing and eventually wake yourself self up, -which is better than having a stroke. And yes, it can lead to dementia. Get tested by a sleep specialist immediately, and if recommended, buy a CPAP machine (usually covered by insurance). Don't want to spend the money? Do you think it's cheaper to have a stroke, heart attack, or dementia and need someone else to wipe your backside every time you soil yourself?

Just pay it. It'd cost you $250-300 in the US directly from a dealership.

Wonderful! China probably already has opened secret police stations in every major city in the LoS, and the "criminals" they have been monitoring are all somehow called "dissidents" and "human rights activists" by other countries. All this agreement will do is so China can use Thai police to arrest dissidents for deportation back to China.

No they're not. Mexicans have been eating corn tortillas since before Columbus "discovered" them. Corn is a holy plant to the pre-Columbian Mexicans and other MesoAmerican cultures. They just eat them soft, not folded & fried crunchy. That's an American invention. Mexican tacos usually involve 2-3 small corn tortillas placed in a line with filling placed on top. Flour is an aberration introduced by Europeans. If you want wheat tortillas, eat roti.

Jeez, almost as many Thais fall out of windows as do Russians who criticize Putin!

Somehow, I suspect an inside job.

You can buy %100 psyllium husk at any health food store for cheaper. Good Karma carries bag of it.

Above reminds me of the Vietnam War-era meme: "Give us your hearts and minds, or we'll burn your damn huts down!"

But how could the tourists take the sea life home to eat if they can't pick them up from the reefs?

Hey, I diagnostically undressed this young lass! Now can somebody fetch me a plate?

Looks like a dude to me. Not that I care, I just hate lousy reporting.

Have you ever tried waving stacks of Baht notes?

So exactly what new measures did the baht bus implement?
