As long as Biden uses the right pronouns addressing China, there will be peace.

When the dust settles, it will be appropriate to discuss whether the "woke" US military acted as a sufficient deterrent. I would argue that this woke military and their appalling defeat and bailout in Afghanistan, a vacant and incompetent US leadership and 4 years of hysterical misinformation accusing Russia of colluding with Trump to cause Hillary to lose her election did not help one bit.

Nobody invaded when Mad Dog Mattis or Mark Esper was in charge of the military. Probably not a coincidence.

I think that's correct. If they were brought together in Florida she would have been younger than the age of consent. I don't think that has ever been her argument though. She claims to have been coerced and trafficked. Is there an age limit on that? 

An interesting claim. So she was trafficked/coerced which would mean PA having relations with her was not consensual. This is particularly interesting because it would follow that presumably all of Epstein's young ladies which he kept on his private Caribbean island were in the same situation. So ex-Presidents and big tech bosses that liked to visit the island to play with girls were guilty of the same as PA and should be arrested?

No you say????

A very ballsy move, hope it pays off for you. As I did before I plan to make a large buy a few months before the halvening, so my next major buy will be Jan 2024.

I always wonder why sports like this are divided into women and men.

Additional strength makes no difference with snooker (at least I don't see how).

Why don't they all compete together?

Quite. It is so dated. Thailand should learn from the west that there is no need for women's and men's teams. Allowing each participant to decide their own gender is of course much fairer, and it allows real and inspirational stars like swimming champion Lia Thomas to emerge who would have never seen the limelight under the old fashioned rules. Time to modernize Thailand. 

If Russia invades the Ukraine on Wednesday as MSM is saying will happen it will be the 1st time in about 4 years they have got a major story correct concerning Russia, so that will have some impact on my life. But still, I guess the chance of an invasion is 0.00001% and they are completely wrong again and using the invasion hysteria to distract from devastating problems in the homeland.

More interesting would be what impact it will have on those who take everything they read as gospel and then thursday rolls around and nothing happened. Will they have a moment of reflection? Will they start to consider the logic behind far fetched scenarios presented rather than blindly believe? Will the word "credible" start to be used to mean factually correct rather than simply favoring the PC side with no thought to factual accuracy?

IF, and it is a major IF, Russia actually does invade the Ukraine, the US will retaliate with sanctions and probably the fool in charge will run his mouth off again and nuclear warbirds will start getting chucked around, and we will end up being piles of dust. But at least there would not be politically incorrect tweets.

He is always posting on these cannabis threads... Speaking authoritatively but always negatively.

Cant blame them. It will have cost a fortune to buy the permissions to grow commercially, no doubt brown envelopes galore. All that planning, brown-nosing and dreaming, and then with a stroke of a pen (decriminalized weed) it was all for nothing.

Really? We know that opposition to vaccinations and such is highly correlated with the the political opinions of voters. Yet, it's somehow the fault of governments? 

Yes it is. Along with big tech and the legacy media. After they pushed misinformation and censored truthful and accurate voices for the last few years all trust is gone. I lost my ability to post on social media for posting an opinion that turned out to be 100% true. Jack Dorsey may have apologized after his site kicked off the mother of all misinformation campaigns that led to censors banning those with common sense, but most media and censors did not.

Look at CNN's viewing figures and you will see the trust for the "liberal" media is gone.

Think they meant THC, not CBD.  From the article:

"Food and Drug Administration received an approval letter from the Justice Ministry "

 

"extract from all parts of cannabis or hemp with the tetrahydrocannabinol content of over 0.2% by weight"

 

Legally only 0.2% THC content, as of today, but if this passes and is published in the Royal Gazette, then 120 days later it will be legal to dispense cannabis with higher than 0.2% THC content is how I read it

Thanks but I understood this part to mean literally "extracts" like oils and concentrates. ie nothing whatsoever to do with dried and cured buds, which are, of course, not an extract of any sort.

Looks like we will all have to wait until the new law is published in the Royal Gazette and then see if it is any more clear.

Legalizing 0.2% CBD is hardly a game changer.

Who said anything about 0.2% CBD?

« At present, condominium residents are only allowed to smoke inside their rooms, while smoking on balconies is prohibited.  The ministerial announcement will go into effect in the next four months and those violating the law will be fined Bt2,000 each.»

Is that 2,000B per cigarette, or a cumulative fine over time? I think I am correct in saying the police need a warrant to enter your condo to check if you are smoking on the balcony. Good luck with that lads.

 Funny must have been a month or so ago a French speaking couple moved in to the condo below. They were so terribly rude making silly and loud comments every time I fired one up. As if their cooking wasn't annoying for other residents. Suffice to say they are gone and I'm still here puffing away merrily.

Too funny.

 

Your Bitcoin was supposed to be worth 500,000 dollars in 2020 based on "simple math". Obviously Bitcoin is not being adopted as expected. Every time a new token or $hitcoin in created and listed on exchange that's less money for Bitcoin.

 

Do you even know what limited supply means?

 

 

BTW, the next support is 30k. It won't hold. Next one is at 19k. That might hold.

 

You bought way too early. Cryptos are in bear market since November. And there is such thing as bear market, even in crypto.

Well, I just sold the tranche I bought on the 23rd Jan for a mid 6 figure profit. You were totally wrong in your assertions. Maybe next time don't speak in absolutes on a topic you have no clue about.

IF we can genuinely own a small plot of land in our own name, I for one will be an immediate buyer. I expect if the law changes again in the future to ban this ownership that we would be grandfathered in to the old scheme. Much like with Thaksin's initial lifelong 1m baht Elite Visa.

No fan of Anutin, but what he did is correct and appropriate, and indeed expected of him. Politicians from any country should do their utmost to further the interests of their own country. The insanity of western politicians trashing their country and name calling their traditional populations to win favor is sickening beyond imagination. Carry on Khun Anutin...

She said crypto has a limited supply.

 

 

 

Here is my actual quote. 

"Fact remains crypto has a limited supply, in BTC's case it is 21 million."

You might want to check out the purchasing power of the dollar over the last 100 years before mocking. Fact remains crypto has a limited supply, in BTC's case it is 21 million. So like the dollar it is not "backed" by hard assets, but unlike the dollar there IS a finite supply. Let's revisit this in 6 -12 months and see if you are still crowing.

Mother of all buying opportunities. Did not expect we would get such a gift at this stage. Last time crypto was this price it was not legal tender in any countries, and the likes of Tesla and Paypal were not accepting it. Crypto is not going away. I will keep buying on any further drops.

Race, I learn, like gender, is a social construct and is fluid. If Elizabeth Warren is the richest and most famous Native American Indian, and Hilaria Baldwin is the most famous Spanish mother, then surely Musk's ethnicity is known only to him. Confusing right!
