Is Arcadia Beach Resort an Airbnb ghetto?
I looked at renting one for a weekend getaway when I was working in Chonburi. Far too small for living full time.

Bit paranoid are we?
I heard rumors that AN is going AI to screen posts. Any truth to that? Also, the button to go back to the top of the page is gone. Temporary "fix" or an "improvement?"

Who's drunk?
I am a binge drinker, 3 or 4 times a year. I enjoy the hell out of each bout. I tried drinking moderately on a daily basis for a few days, it just wasn't fun the 2nd day on. To answer your question - not me.

House speakership up in air as resistance to Jim Jordan hardens
This lying liar also defended Gym Jordan's record as a coach. Even Republicans couldn't buy into that one, audibly gasping as she spewed that nonsense. Jordan is an election denier and was directly involved in the 1/6 insurrection. If he becomes Speaker, he will have direct influence on which electoral votes are counted. What could possible go wrong with that scenario?

Of COURSE you would provide a link that has a pay wall so we can't see your "evidence."

Thai woman’s 20 baht note goes ‘choo-choo’ in the frying pan
I noticed something similar with one of the old 20 baht notes. I had one that had gotten wet, and as I was ironing a shirt thought I'd iron the note dry. It immediately inflated as if a small balloon were inside. I don't know it that's an obscurity or a feature.

Trump aims to sue London firm over dossier alleging sexual perversions
Herein lies the problem. There is no evidence either way to support or invalidate the Steele dossier, and when you make loaded remarks based on the premise that it's gospel makes you look like a conspiracy nut at which point no one takes your word for anything. THIS is why the people in a bitterly divided country can't come to any agreement.

Ozempic - Anyone here tried it?
I have heard of some pretty nasty side effects from actual users. If you aren't type 2 diabetic, it's a very risky path towards weight loss.

Trump-backed Jim Jordan chosen as Speaker nominee
OH GAWD! PLEASE don't tempt them! That sounds like a "hold my beer" challenge.

Trump-backed Jim Jordan chosen as Speaker nominee
No. The House Speaker is a critical position. The Speaker decides what bills can even be brought up for a vote, and if the likes of Jordan, or (GOD FORBID) that demon spawn aka MTG were put in that chair, only deep MAGA bills would even be considered. What I see finally happening is the childish bickering is coming to a head. Cooler prevailing heads are calling for the "C" word - compromise!

Paypal.
Paypal and Thailand are no longer good bedfellows. A few years back I was informed I had to close my US Paypal account and open one in Thailand. Wanting to be a good citizen, I closed my US account only to find the restrictive nature of opening a Thai Paypal account. I had to wait until I physically went back to the US to be able to reopen a US Paypal account and thumb my nose at the whole system.

Iran sends deadly message to Biden with Hamas attack on Israel
YOUR reply to the question "And what country gives billions of Dollars to Iran?" was this: "The USA were going to, 6 Billion $, hasn't that been put on hold?" YOUR words indicate the US was going to give Iran $6 billion and I corrected you. You do see that, yes?

Trump-backed Jim Jordan chosen as Speaker nominee
Never gonna happen, he is an absolute election denier. THAT should be a basic litmus test for any potential House Speaker- "Do you think the 2020 election was legitimate?"

It's difficult to folks who listen to Fox NOT-news.

Iran sends deadly message to Biden with Hamas attack on Israel
I grow weary of correcting this idea. It is NOT US money, it was Iranian money that the US froze.

Thai government defends 10,000-baht digital wallet scheme amid economic criticism
It looks like they're taking a stab at a Universal Basic Income (UBI) which is a humane concept. However, considering how this gubmint is rife with grift, it should never be implemented without serious honest oversight. My computer started gagging and laughing as I typed the last three words of the previous paragraph.

Can't we all just get along?
A simplification, but by no means a stretch: You own a small business making rubber bands. You make a comfortable living. Suddenly, war breaks out and the gubmint comes to you, saying "If you'll make these bullets for us, we'll pay you 10 times what you're earning right now." You say "HELL yes" and start manufacturing 24 x 7. You LIKE this newfound wealth and want to keep it going. And so the Military Industrial Complex was born, needing fresh blood to keep the coffers overflowing. To date, the US has given a total of $76.8 billion to Ukraine for their war with Russia, of which $28.2 billion is direct military aid. I really have trouble wrapping my head around how this much money can't conclude a war without some SERIOUS grifting going on. https://www.cfr.org/article/how-much-aid-has-us-sent-ukraine-here-are-six-charts So while it's not worth it to the vast majority of the world, those in power reap obscene benefits.
