  1. It's ALWAYS about the money. I worked in a US government building for 3 years and every year the paper towel dispensers were replaced in the 2 bathrooms on that floor. NO need, they worked fine - not many moving parts ferchrissake - but some politician got a pork contract to have them replaced every year. No idea how many buildings, but since it was a government contract, it was overpriced and spread to many other facilities.
  2. I tried doing it myself, then thought I'd give them a shot. They noticed a mistake right away (wrong sized photo) which in itself made the cost worth it. I would have sent the package off, and it would have been sent back - who knows HOW long THAT would have taken - and I'd have to start all over again. Add to that the girls at the front are very easy on the eyes and it's just off Soi Buakhao, to me it was a win win win.
  3. I bought one from a shop in Chonburi CIty, another one from a street vendor on Soi Buakhao Pattaya. I doubt you'll find one online, their legal status is in the grey area. The plastic pellets don't do more than scare the mutts, the steel balls that you can use in the same gun are lethal.
  4. Yeah, it's all those scumbags who have helped the state's economy soar to the 4th strongest in the world. The root problem is the complete lack of a legitimate worker visa. Politicians would rather keep this extremely divisive topic alive and well and pitting US citizens against each other, arguing behind their computer screens with no compromise in their attitudes. This is one of the "shiny objects" that holds people's attention while the autocratic regime creeps into the fabric of the country. The US needs California, not the other way around. Cut a fat hog in the ass, it dies. If I were Newsome, I'd withdraw as a state. Let the idiots Invade and take over Canada so no one would have to change the flag. Problem solved.
  5. Soooooo . . . you are saying the president should NOT call out the National Guard? You DO see the flaw in your "logic," yes?
  6. I always drive with cautious aggression, expecting any and all who can impede my progress or make for a dangerous situation WILL. I am rarely disappointed.
  7. I was just thinking the same thing, putting a poll for this subject. Not a fan of the down-thumb. Just exacerbates a forum with an already angry bunch of trolls.
  8. What I miss most about Bangkok - the portable table-top bars along Sukhumvit that appeared after sundown. I met some great temporary friends as the atmosphere was always pleasant. No pressure to "buy me a drink" though I was more than happy to accomodate any freelancer who caught my eye. When they "cleaned up" Bangkok, they also eviscerated the very thing that made Bangkok stand apart from other large cities around the world.
  9. A new AN member with (and I quote) four very successful businesses, yet having the time to post nonsense here? Doesn't pass the smell test.
  10. Yet he always backs his posts up with cogent facts, something severely lacking in maga whinges.
  11. Susan's back under a new nom de plume.
  12. I teach kids this age - they don't have the brains gawd gave a grasshoppers a$$-hole. The ONLY excuse I could think of for members asking whether or not she was a "willing participant" is they haven't a clue how much these kids are air-heads at 13. Otherwise you're thinking a 13-year-old might be available which makes you a VERY sick puppy.
  13. I wouldn't assume anything I didn't have proof of. I'm sure many free roaming animals have parasites, but that's still because people let them breed, roam, and cause a nuisance. Animals can't fix themselves or take medicines. That's where their owners come in. Animals left to the wild act like, animals. Animals that are loved and appreciated act like well cared for, loving animals. Just like people. Look at how many crimes there are daily here. The reason starts at home. I saw a soi dog here in LOS some time back that looked like a stuffed sausage. When I said to my friend, "That's one overfed mutt," he explained that they can look that way when severely infested by worms.
  14. An officer just shot a reporter in the back (looks like a rubber bullet) while she was doing her job. This is a screen capture, I don't know how to dl video from Bluesky.
  15. If you want a 3-wheeler, why not just buy one rather than having a 2-wheeler modified?
  16. Honestly, if you haven't got it by now then you are remaining intentionally ignorant.
  17. All the "thumbs down" reactions here show that MAGA is alive and well and still drinking the Kool-Aid. C'mon now, show me I'm right.
  18. I swear by this outfit just off Soi Buakhao: https://thaivisa-express.com/
  19. The only posts I could find on this are from 2014. If I personally bring a radio control car in to Thailand from an overseas trip, do I need to register it with some office?
  20. Live each day as if it were your last. Plan as if you will live forever.
  21. I have to admit, their pc app was next to useless. The phone app works well. On the other hand, the SCB pc app I miss.
  22. You're quoting 47 ?!? Is this sarcasm?
