Uncertainty Over U.S. Troops in Europe Sparks Anxiety Among Allies
Or, they can help secure the border. Assist with natural disaster relief as FEMA fails miserably. Those with skills, can simply enter the work forces, as many, like myself, joined to military to learn a skill. Plenty of skilled service folks, that support fighting troops. Those gung ho folks can be retrained to join the police forces around the country. So they can raise the hiring standard again, instead of taking anyone, including criminals, as some departments have trouble filling the ranks. The hatred & short sightedness of the left is blinding

are you pale as a ghost or baked like a lobster?
Wasn't me, unless you were working the pineapple field. The back veranda is above the wall, so a little caution needed when sitting there. The 'path' through the middle of, is too far away, so no real worries, unless I stand up and wave to them as the scoot by on the motorbike 😎 Depends how cute they are 🙄

4 hours in Bangkok city
I have, after 100+ visits, all 50 districts, every nook & cranny, and only too 25 years From the lowly slums of Khong Toei to towering above and looking down on the little people from MahaNakhon ... got to pull yourself away from that barstool ... or keyboard ...

You've already seen the whole country, so just go fishing at Bang Pu pier. Wear a big, disposable sombrero, so you don't get shat on by my feathered friends ...

What are you cooking today? (2025)
Yep ... use to be a staple dish when a youngin. If stuck for what to order, then that was an easy choice and always satisfied. More a shrimp cocktail guy myself, but when done right, fried are like chips, can't stop with just one.

4 hours in Bangkok city
That gets you out of the airport, then 30 mins to 'downtown' massage. 2 minutes later, back in taxi to airport for you 2 hr check in. Provided you're allowed to leave the basement

President Zelensky sees the light?
Pretty simple ... Peace, no more loss of life, a ceasefire, end of aggressions on both sides, and should last for at least 4 years Pres. Trump will simply ask Pres Putin to stop, keep what you have accomplished. State UA will not become another NATO member. That's all Putin wanted to begin with. The west to honor the deal made long ago, and for UA to stop killing Russians that don't want to be part of UA any more, since the coup of 2014.

PM 2.5 Air Purifier Recommendation

PM 2.5 Air Purifier Recommendation
I see the other thread (below) was closed. But for anyone looking to buy a PM2.5 Meter, this is a good one. Possibly same vendor of one posted on other thread, and seriously, way too inexpensive @ ฿364. I'd have a hard time finding a LIPO battery for that price, let alone a whole meter. 6 in 1, and site offers more 'info packed' meters if wanting. Meter is accurate enough, compared to my old meter, along with very local online readings, and all close enough in agreement. Old meter HR sensor, as suspected was a bit off, after wife dropped and broke part of the casing. All other sensors agree close enough. Shopee link, does come from CN, no issues or added tax & COD: https://shopee.co.th/6-in-1-PM2.5-PM10-HCHO-TVOC-Co-CO2ฟอร์มาลดีไฮด์หน้าจอแอลซีดีขนาดใหญ่แบบพกพาสำหรับโฮมออฟฟิศโรงแรมสก์ท็อปเครื่องตรวจจับคุณภาพอากาศ-i.1111825626.28116741772 Locked (newer) thread, if interested: https://aseannow.com/topic/1317651-air-quality-monitor/

Can I go out to sea ? Fishing
Maybe on the Andaman Sea side, but as a cheap charlie, it will be way out of your budget. We use to charter boats every year, out of NJ, USA, and silly priced TBH. You can do some shallow water fishing, and depending what you catch can be quite fun. Or go deeper, but at a price ... ... https://fishingbooker.com/blog/fishing-in-thailand/

March 2025 US SS payment
I go to the bank and get them, year's worth a week or so before extending. If you go every 6 months, they can give it to you on the spot & free. That may be location dependent. Other wise I think it's 300 for the 3 sets of docs needed; balance statement, full account statement (dep & cred) & the 12 credit advices.

Mine arrived IDD (not via NY), @ 10:16 Mar 3 @ ฿33.5145 For others, as noted on link above, tagged as BAHTNET, and you do get 'credit advice' for IMM as I use the monthly deposit method for ret visa ext.

- You've retired. Why do you spend so much time arguing about Trump?
That about covers it ...- Leaving the bar stool ...
- What are you cooking today? (2025)
A nice Cream of Broccoli, and some roasted Red Peppers. Got some pork tenderloins, and going to try my luck making a Capocollo ish ham 🙄 Just pressed with cayenne & pepper, and not going to try to hang & dry it.- Hua Hin is close to Bangkok they say
Direction dependent. Just go the opposite way of the weekenders- Is anyone concerned about DOGE targeting US Soc Sec direct deposit into Thai accounts?
- China’s Imminent Invasion of Taiwan: A Global Catastrophe in the Making
Correct. Matter of fact, Taiwan gets their 'minerals', rare earth elements for the chips, from ... ... China. CN doesn't have to invade to control and part of 'One China', as simply need to limit their ability to have an economy. Want to really squeeze them, blockade imports. It is an island, with little needed that isn't imported ... food for example Taiwan relies on imports for almost all it's food & energy. Over 180 countries do NOT even recognized Taiwan as an independent country. Only 12 do. But the MSM will have you believe .... yea, dream on China & Taiwan have existed in harmony for decades. Only MSM wants to rock the boat, but reporting BS. Just another distraction while the puppeteers steal you money & assets. The Feudal Serfdom system will be returning to the West, as long as you keep fighting amongst yourselves. You can fix stupid. - March 2025 US SS payment
