Having kids at old age disgraceful
No one gives a sht except people who waste time giving a sht. If you actually ask the kids of these geezers, they're probably happier to exist rather than not.

Jeju Air Flight from Bangkok Skids Off Runway at Muan Airport, 28 Dead
Same aircraft, a day or two before. Creepy but unlikely a factor.

Yikes. You can actually see some passenger bodies being violently ejected upwards/sideways out of the fuselage in the cloud of debris in the first 2 seconds after impacts.

Watching a presser now. Tower sent a bird warning, 1 minute later pilot sends mayday, 1 min later they're down.

Depends on the weight of the bird(s) and velocity. If it ingests a coupla big ass Canada geese, it won't fare too well.

Jeju Air Flight from Bangkok Skids Off Runway at Muan Airport, 28 Dead
It was this way long before Asiana 214. Numerous incidents attributed directly to seniority culture. An extreme example was the KAL 747 that went into Nimitz Hill in Guam (hundreds dead). Has it improved in the meantime? Sure. But as someone who knows a little bit about this culture (as well as the industry), I'm not convinced that the old ways/habits have gone away as much as they need to, and neither are quite a few friends of mine who have worked as sim trainers for the 2 big K carriers in ICN. Having said that, it's way too early to speculate. But it sure as heck to me is looking like a situation that didn't need to end this badly. But what do I know, I'm just a AN monkey.

Korean carriers have had many many incidents/accidents and historically have a REALLY bad CRM and crew hierarchy culture. We'll see if this played a part once again, or what factors came together to cause this. Perfect weather, adequate runway.

Idiotic Room Rate Calculation Pattaya 2024 Style
If every tourist stopped using jet skis, there'd be no scams. If every tourist stopped paying 100 baht for 40 bt motorbike taxi rides, there wouldn't be any overcharging. If every tourist stopped paying 2000-5000+ for kitty, it would cost 500-800 like it does Thai men. See where I'm going with this?

So, how long you like to live.
When I can't wipe my own ass anymore or start losing my marbles, I hope I have the balls to take 2mg of fentanyl and go sleepy bye. 50 now, would be nice to make it to 70 or a bit more in good health/mind.

Wrong incident. That was the Azerbaijan Air one.

Nasty. No gear, full speed into the barrier. Latest update is only 3 survivors pulled out of the wreckage so far. Out of 181 total souls on board (incl 2 Thai nationals).

Is it noisy in your Condo now
Reason #28365533 to never buy a condo here (I'm a 2-time idiot in that respect). The condo management can put up all the "Rentals under 30 days are illegal" signs they want, nothing is ever (or very rarely) enforced when push comes to shove, or it is dealt with super late.

Less-Refined Farang: Are Farang in Asia now less refined than before?
Last night in soi 8 a fairly well dressed, clean cut and very drunk Australian loso trash POS bogan in his late 40s/early 50s walked by my table where I was sitting with my friend's 13 yr old son while his mom was getting a massage and offers me bang bang nose powder. Told him to f off and walk away and fortunately he did without any further words. Could've easily ended up a bit of an unwanted detour to the popo shop as doing that in front of a kid in my charge is pretty much the only thing that would get me to end someone's health to a degree that medical science would not be able to fix anytime soon at this stage in my life. Not really a girly bar, just a handful of tables along the street that used to be great for people watching. And 8 is/used to be generally a fairly tame soi without too many deekheads.

What's a just OK not great not horrible holiday tip amount for condo doorman, etc.
Just curious - what do you mean by "juristic fees"? I pay, for the 60sqm condo I own in Phuket, the usual monthly electric (to PEA) and water (to condo) bill and that's it. And every 6 months there's a bill of just over 15k for the bldg/common areas/ upkeep/maintenance etc etc.
