Callmeishmael replied to Captain Flack's topic in The Quiz Forum
I just completed this quiz. My Score 20/100 My Time 30 seconds -
I think you mean: 10% of the complex will be crowded and busy, 90% will be practically empty! 😉

Although I carefully examined those pictures I still haven't seen her feet!

I predict a growing number of socially conservative but economically liberal Pro-Islamic political parties will arise in both the UK and throughout Europe. With the power to throw their votes to the left or right on different issues they will tend to have a disproportionate power in shaping the future of Europe.

Are the Trump II firings just beginning?

I was betting on Marco Rubio being the first one out, but it looks like I was wrong. I will still bet that Rubio will end up doing a full 'John Bolton' with a tell-all book and numerous anti-Trump Youtube appearances! -
ALL VACCINES WILL KILL YOU - The evidence is overwhelming

My grandparents lost a total of 3 out of 13 children back in the 1920s. Vaccines would have saved those kids. As my oldest aunt once told me: "In those days everyone lost one or two". -
Report Staggering 80% of Thai Army Conscripts Battling Drug Addiction

Many, if not most, middle-class boys go through an Army Reserve Training when they are in high school. This exempts them from the draft. So the actual draftees are heavily skewed towards the working class/rural kids. -
Except that Trump loves the military and usually gives them more money than they even ask for. Aside from cutting the DEI programs he will probably add a 4th supercarrier fleet! Don't expect DOGE to touch the Defense budget, which is probably the most bloated and wasteful part of the Federal Government!

Dear God! In addition to the uneven sidewalks I now have to worry about GG touching me?? That's it, I'm giving up walking in Thailand! 😜

I can speak and read Thai fairly well. One problem I have is all the regional dialects. If I drive for two hours away from Bangkok everyone sounds like they are speaking an entirely different language. My wife wants to move up north when I retire, but I'm not looking forward to having to learn Phasa Nua!

It could be worse... Just what would he do if he found himself in a toilet with no tissue paper!

So you're saying that the problems that California faces are based on color/ethnicity? I agree that California is no longer livable, but that's because of over crowding and cost of living, not the fact that my neighbors were Chinese rather than white Southern Baptists!

Interesting screenshot. However you cut out part of the description: Notice the last line: Hight for factual reporting. Now let's take a look at a pro-Trump media outlet:

A true story about an old pal of mine.
Callmeishmael replied to Don Giovanni's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I did Cambodian border runs when I first came to Thailand about 23 years ago. While waiting for my stamp at the border I noticed people just walking across the border a hundred or so meters away. It was only the need for proper stamps in your passport that made you use a border crossing between Thailand and Cambodia!
