My initial reaction was "There are already too many people stealing my air, so go ahead and off yourself." Of COURSE this is an idle threat he makes. Most likely, if he'd just shut his mouth and shown a little humility, 500 baht and a sincere wai would have gotten him out of this strait. Instead, he's challenging authorities way beyond his comprehension. Som nom na.

Brown shirts and white hoods have been traded in for red hats.

I sincerely hope not! I want him to get his just deserts.

This is a crass, despicable excuse of a man. Anyone who puts up on his fake social media, "Eff Biden and eff you for voting for him" CANNOT be allowed back in to the White House. He's stoking the flames of division and his cult followers are eating it up with a big ol' spoon. This says everything you really need to know about him and his sheep.

I dated an insurance agent for a year and got to see the "behind the scenes" operations. It's nothing but legalized extortion and their default position is to deny anything and everything they can. Yes, the circumstances surrounding this event are unknown to us, but the insurance companies' primary goal is always clear - deny, deny, deny!

OK. You have to admit, the default on this forum is to put on boxing gloves and smack each other. ????

Do pot smokers exhibit the same violent behavior? I doubt it.

I'm looking for a recommendation for a good urologist in Pattaya. Getting up too many time a night, so it's time to have the plumbing checked.

I've read from others it's available at Fascino's.

This article states "one thousand," not "ten thousand."

Learn to torrent with a vpn if you're not in Thailand. If you're in Thailand, just torrent.

So you haven't heard anything about the algorithms Facebook employed to stoke anger because it helped their bottom line? $$$$$$ "That means Facebook for three years systematically amped up some of the worst of its platform, making it more prominent in users’ feeds and spreading it to a much wider audience. The power of the algorithmic promotion undermined the efforts of Facebook’s content moderators and integrity teams, who were fighting an uphill battle against toxic and harmful content." No, my friend, they were very instrumental in creating an antagonistic environment. https://www.niemanlab.org/2021/10/more-internal-documents-show-how-facebooks-algorithm-prioritized-anger-and-posts-that-triggered-it/

In its infancy, it was MySpace on steroids. It was used as intended, and basically allowed family and friends to stay in touch, instantly and for free. Then politics and bad intentions grew, festered, and now it's become a dangerous weapon of misinformation. The people who are supposed to monitor and protect the world from such threats are ignorant and woefully ill prepared to handle the challenge. For the life of me, I don't see a solution. This world has become so splintered and inhumane, and Facebook has been a major influence in doing this.

I wanna know what amulet she was wearing.

I was in just that situation. I was a home room teacher with a Thai assistant. She was horrible, always late to relieve me and leaving her class time early without telling me. I complained to the Thai administration, so their solution was to move ME elsewhere in the school. Karma DID eventually bite her right in the a$$. The parents complained about my removal and her poor performance, so she actually got fired.

Turns out NO president has a clearance. Damned fuzzy logic. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/08/25/trump-classified-legal/

And the BEST part is you cannot cross examine a recording. It is what it is, and that nasal whine is too recognizable to possibly say it wasn't him.

Technically, the US has not declared war since before Vietnam. Congress discovered if they call them "conflicts" then they don't have to pay injured warriors as much for loss of life or limb.

Again, no. This buffoon has been denied any further intelligence briefings because it is widely known he can't be trusted. "Biden Bars Trump From Receiving Intelligence Briefings, Citing 'Erratic Behavior' President Biden said there was “no need” for former President Donald J. Trump to get the briefings, traditionally given to ex-presidents as a courtesy and to keep them informed if their advice is needed." https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/05/us/politics/biden-trump-intelligence-briefings.html#:~:text=The Indictment%2C Annotated-,Biden Bars Trump From Receiving Intelligence Briefings%2C Citing 'Erratic Behavior,if their advice is needed. Hell, his own White House staff kept sensitive info from him for that same reason, plus they knew he was too busy playing golf to read any of them.

I currently teach 12 year olds. While some of them appear to be "12 going on 25," they STILL dance like 6-year-olds when I put on the video "Head Shoulders Knees & Toes." Even 18 year olds aren't thinking logically, but that's the way the laws are.

No. Too many pieces are NOT in the public domain, and he has admitted multiple times he was aware he took them, that they were STILL CLASSIFIED, and that he did NOT have the authority to declassify them. In the words of Bill Barr (his former butt buddy) "He's toast."

Grasshoppers, yes. Crickets? No. Them things is nasty! Same with cockroaches, just nasty creatures.

I've listened to this recording several times. The complete lackadaisical attitude of ALL involved is staggering. These were secret war plans to attack Iran that this traitor stole then lied to the government he was supposed to serve and represent about having. Apparently the dissemination of this info is an even bigger crime than anything to date. This has entered Rosenberg territory. The most foul, disgusting aspect of this whole damned thing is that his poll numbers are RISING among Republicans. How can anyone be so obtuse so as to follow this base creature? Take just a moment and imagine if it were President Obama performing these crimes. Heads would explode! Jesus wept . . .

Thanks. These guitars are hot house petunias. I have others (Taylor 6 string, Hamer 5 string bass, and more) and NONE of them have shown any issues such as this ax.

I have a Gibson EDS-1275 that's coming apart in the middle. Is this something you might be able to handle?
