Crypto-Doubling Scam: What will they think of next?
Greed can lead to irrational behavior. And, greed can also lead to increased public ridicule. Still, scammers are scum who should be shot down like the dogs that they are. I have recently been scammed by a multinational that did not supply products that lived up to the advertising promises. Not quite the same, but just as infuriating. I have never been interested in bitcoin, nor in tulips.

Neighbors with straight-through loud exhaust in my condo
OK. That sounds very effective. But, I had thought that you were trying to minimize noise, not increase it.

British man robbed in poppycock confrontation
So then, this kind of thing never happens to me. However, if I were so worried about it happening frequently, Then I would wear a chastity-belt, or something. Anyone trying to fool around with me would have missing fingers in no-time, just judging by the looks of this one.

Best way to kill cockroaches in the kitchen - if possible, not spray.
Just bought a can of SC Johnson Co's BayGonne. Yes, it kills them, dead! The thing is, I have never had cockroaches inside my rooms/houses before. This year, I have seen quite a few at night, outside, on the lawn. Then, at night, these cockroaches seem to come into the kitchen, under the door, but they do not enter the house. The kitchen is attached to the house, but there is a door separating house/kitchen. I plan to get the termite exterminator out here, and treat the OUTSIDE of the house, for termites. It's my thinking that this will solve all problems with ants/roaches, etc. This is what worked very effectively in the past.

What can be done to make Thai Roads safer?
Obviously, what might have the most significant effect is driver education. Then, also, what about Radar Camera Ticketing? Also, no need to go to court, and no need to have the cops issue tickets. The fines can be automatically deducted from drivers' bank accounts. Therefore, drive slower, and get educated, might work...

Biden Withdraws from Re-Election, Endorses Harris in a Pivotal Shift for the 2024 Race
It is important to note that the kinetic energy of a projectile, such as you have imaged here, is proportional to the SQUARE of the velocity of the projectile. This is key. The bullet that grazed Trump's ear was travelling at about 3000 fps. This is far faster than one of those .22 LR cartridges that you also imaged. And then, since the energy is rises with the SQUARE of the the velocity, this is why the AR15 is so dangerous and lethal. This is why I would have chosen the 460 Weatherby Magnum, if I were hunting an elephant. https://cdn.revolutionise.com.au/cups/ssaa/files/iqz0jttps0xnohgs.pdf When I was young, I had several books with ballistics tables. These days, you can find much more info just by clicking on your keyboard, if connected to the net. Very convenient, the internet.

Drunk driver kills 13 year old girl buying food for ill mother
This part of the article is confusing to me. Extremely sad case, and enough to provoke anger in almost anyone. If not the death penalty, then life without parole.

Kamala vs Jane: If forced to choose one for Prez, Your Choice?
Only if I could have Jane for my running mate.

Leaking Pump (Hitachi GX Series)
I have always believed Hitachi makes great products, like motors, etc. So, if you suggest a new pump, then would you (personally) choose Hitachi or Mitsubishi. As for me, I would definitely choose Hitachi. However, I might not be as informed as others who make these choices all the time, if they are selling and servicing this equipment.

Kamala vs Jane: If forced to choose one for Prez, Your Choice?
Hi Folks, Some of you may be old enough to recall Jane visiting North Vietnam. Kamala strikes me as someone cut from the same cloth as Fonda, only better. There are those who are not able to see the goodness in Jane, or in Kamala, but I am not one who is so blind. So, the Question Is: If, this November, there were only two candidates running, and if Jane was running to be the next Republican president, which I must say, she would have to be, considering the politics of Kamala, then which honey would garner your vote? I do not mind telling you that I am a Fonda Fan, and she would get my vote, just as she always has had my unwavering support. What about you? Which girl is for you? Or, would you prefer both, at once... One for Prez, and one for V-Prez, and why. What is it about these pair that causes such utter fascination among the voting public? Just in case you forget which is which, here are two images I found. And, once again, Kamala is no match for Jane, as we can plainly see. You Jane, Me, Kamala.... Best regards, Gamma

Thirty nine years smoke free
As one ages, and if one continues to smoke tobacco products, the inhalation of CO can cause even more noticeable loss of energy by displacing oxygen in the bloodstream, than for younger smokers...IMHO. CO binds very strongly, and more strongly, to hemoglobin than O2 Therefore, even if one is not worried by adverse long-term health effects of smoking, just the increased oxygen level in the bloodstream, when not inhaling carbon-monoxide, provides great benefits. https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Mitochondrial-effects-of-CO-poisoning-Under-normal-conditions-hemoglobin-Hb-binds_fig3_349119811 This is why it is NEVER too late to stop smoking. There are amazing benefits...just 3 days after puffing on the last coffin nail. NOTE: As everybody knows.... The Mitochondria is the Power-House of the cell..... (haha....yet true)

Good analysis. You have identified the problem with this governance.

OK. Fine. And, I am merely pointing out that such behavior is considered acceptable in some cultures.

The Elite visa.....Does it have a purpose any more?
Definitely, the Elite Visa could have a purpose for me. I would consider the Elite if the price were lowered very significantly. Definitely I would. Then, there would be a good purpose which would motivate me to buy.

You stated: "But it isn't considered normal by our standards." I was just embellishing upon it, and clarifying it, a bit. We do not know what your standards might be. And, this is really all about culture. I have no idea concerning the culture in which you were immersed as a youth. And so, I have no idea what culturally-instilled standards you might be referring to.

Biden has pulled out of 2024 Presidential election race. What next?
Here is a perfect example of being unfit for the job: Apparently, Biden was not fit enough to make an address on Sunday. So, he did the tweet. Similarly, if there had been a world crises on Sunday, he would have addressed the crises using a second tweet. This is no way to run a government.

Correction: It is not considered normal in some cultures. In India, taking a carp, anywhere, is part of the present-day, and historical, culture in that land. I am not saying that this is wrong. It's only a matter of preference, which culture you prefer.

Biden has pulled out of 2024 Presidential election race. What next?
Well, if he has died from Covid19, then someone must say so. If he is unfit, then there are procedures that must be followed...ASAP. This is worse than the world wondering what has happened to Xi, or Putin, every time they disappear.

Biden has pulled out of 2024 Presidential election race. What next?
You are correct. Biden, or some proxy, has only made a tweet. This is not the way we do it in American government. If Biden truly wishes to resign from the 2024 Prez campaign, then he should say so. And, he should say so himself, in front of the camera, in a public address to the nation, Just as all presidents have done in the past. Until we see Biden voice the words, before camera, then it is entirely possible for Biden to be back in the race, Monday, NYC time. I am fully expecting it, in fact.

Biden Withdraws from Re-Election, Endorses Harris in a Pivotal Shift for the 2024 Race
I, for one, do not care about a Biden Endorsement for Harris. In my view, this is just Sour Grapes. You see, Biden realizes, full well, that the Salad Woman is a disaster. Therefore, before withdrawing from the election, he Formally Endorsed the Salad Woman as his final act of Retribution. "If I can't run for Prez in 2024, then Nobody will!" he said. Yes, the Salad Woman is the Nobody who will run in 2024. Trump will be Re-Elected.... And, Everybody will live happily, ever after. So, it's Nobody against Everybody, it seems. And, Everybody despises Nobody, too.

Indians pooping on the beach in Canada.
Culture is so important in matters like this: When I grew up, we spent our summers at our summer house in New England. The beaches then were pristine. Even today, the beaches in and around Old Black Point are still pristine. I would say that it's a cultural thing, this new idea of prioritizing cleanliness when bathing. I am not one to say that all cultures are somehow EQUAL. That would be PC Idiocy. Some cultures are better for others, such as the Indians. And, other cultures are better for me and the Chinese. This is why I prefer the cultures found in places like New England and China, Japan, and other parts of East Asia. Also, I like the culture here in Chiang Mai. I guess I will never go to India. They don't need no Farang like me in India, ....maybe These days, I feel just so very glad that I left the USA before rampant emigration to the USA destroyed the country I loved. So now? America has already been transformed beyond my recognition, and beyond redemption. Therefore, let the immigrants have it. I love living in Chiang Mai. I will be fine in East Asia and in SE Asia for the rest of my life. Some day, All This will End.... I doubt he was referring to the so-called culture war, when he said, Someday this war's gonna end..... Foam is Fun! They are laughing and smiling... What a culture.
