Looking good ... ... yes, eating anything is murder, unless it was already dead. Any of you vegans/vegetarians out there foraging for dead plant life ?

Equate our ZSs to GM ... blasphemy More like origins, though not much resemblance to BMW MG Rover 75. Group owner, Nanjing Automobile Corporation (NAC) acquired the tooling for the car. Both companies launched revised versions of the 75/ZT in China. SAIC's model was named the Roewe 750 (following the purchase of the Rover brand by Ford, the Roewe marque was created by SAIC for use worldwide) and NAC's the MG 7. SAIC purchased technology relating to the Rover 75 ... after the 2005 collapse of MG Rover. The Roewe RX3 is a subcompact crossover manufactured by SAIC's sub brand, Roewe. The RX3 crossover shares the underpinnings with the MG ZS, and is positioned below the Roewe RX5 compact crossover.

Hypothetically, food & housing, protecting is a pretty good motivation not to bite the hand that feeds you. He's smart enough to make things valuable secure, pin protected. May have a whole underground farm, who knows, or 1000s of can of beans and Spam I've unintentionally became a prepper. Solar, transport, rain water, and protein, living surfside. Have to blacken out the windows, so nobody knows we have energy. Holding on to it would be an issue, as only have so many rounds .. Though I do know more than a few folks at RTAF Wing 5. Don't think we need to worry about anything, as TH is one of the few countries that can feed itself.

Consenting adults ....

I'm against the drag queen / trans BS reading to children, unless approved by parents, as just too impressionable on small children. Even have issue with any parent that would consent to that. Let the youngins progress at they're own nature curiously. They'll figure it out on their own, we all did. Would think even easier today, as not much is 'taboo'. There's no such thing as strange sexual acts, just acts you haven't sampled or tried yet ... Consenting adults can get their freak on anyway they choose ... thankfully

As a matter of fact I do, and posted before, about a good friend of mine got cancelled when he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Besides the 'mind F' or being diagnosed, and then 'cancelled', it actually turned out to be one of the best things that ever happened to him. A wrong diagnosis, and he'll be around for a long time, to the dismay of the insurance co. He already turned down a $3M settlement Seems to happen so much, they now tell how to appeal Supposedly can't cancel, but, can not renew, or offer you their 'new rate' to cover. Sounds like you just got cancelled to me. ouch, thanks for nothing If you don't believe the govt sites, maybe you believe MSM

Some implying it will be WW III, though highly doubtful ... IMHO Social structure collapse, IF, BIG IF, and when societies realize, their (most) countries are bankrupt, and they've been had. UP THE REVOLUTION kind of thing, and govts collapse. Not in our lifetime. All BS, but if we're playing the 'what if' scenarios, why not. The masses are just too stupid, and will go along with whatever they are told. Past centuries have proved that. and more recently, that flu thingy the past few years. No real need to worry, until EU (already in the process) & USA go to digital money, then all freedoms will be lost, and all aspects of people's lives will be controlled. Access to their money, and freedom of movement, controlled. Especially with high tech EVs and even ICEVs, as they be adding geofencing into them soon, if not already. Plotline for a movie ... yea, but I find most old conspiracy movies, had a bit a truth that was realized later. Sure they all thought back then .... "that could never" ... and yet What does Zucker know that we don't ... ... how to become a billionaire rather quick for one

You just love to spin things. Record numbers enrolled, yes .... in Medicaid option, for those that can't afford private insurance anymore. Since we all know when something is mandatory, the price goes up, and the value (coverage) down. ACA does have a few good things in it: ... showed so many people qualify for Medicaid that didn't know, hence the 'high enrollment to ACA' which they didn't need to get Medicaid. ... supposedly ins. co. can't cancel you, supposedly, but false, they still will ... can't deny you for pre existing ... but will charge you appropriately as a higher risk Only the last one was needed, the first 2, weren't and ACA is simply a money maker for the writers of. Try to spin all you want, only ignorant folks will fall for the BS I've been on the receiving end of the bad ins co. and why I'd never pay for a policy.

They're rich, and can fly in whoever they want. Might have guest quarter for his chopper pilot. StarLink for internet. Sounds like a smart move, and why not, when you are that rich. Could have just bought into space at one of the silos offering living accommodations.

Nobody has to call most of the anti EV'ers postings an idiot. They state that themselves by what they post. IMHO Only a handful actually engage in educated, informed discussion. Why people that don't own, don't intend to own, even bother on the EV threads is a bit telling why they are there, and why most go to my ignore list. Only see their posts (inclusive) when quoted. Half my ignore list is probably anti EV/CH folks, rest are, and some of the same, TH/USA/gay bashers, along with solar not a feasible alternative to the grid. Ignorance or bigotry I simply don't need to read. Have a Nice Day

Obamacare ... Written by lobbyist for the insurance companies & big pharma. Thankfully Trumps administration changed a few of those things; ... No fine/tax for not buying into ACA ... now allowed to know the true price of your med. Yea, that's actually true, what a scam Mind boggling, and bill introduce by Rep, not the dems: https://www.facebook.com/reel/903897034680252 check ... true Thank You Reps

If not for the air pollution, I wish I was able to live in CH. Believe what you want, but democracy is a farce, in most, if not all so called democratic countries...IMHO And Unions are a joke, and a business only to themselves. I've been a union rep, and sold out by the unions. All they care about is themselves & dues. Anyone depending on employers, unions, government for their future financial security, are about as ignorant and or brainwashed as can be. If you can't personally negotiate your own salary or contract, then being an 'employee' is a losing game.

Understanding the market, once achieved, trading is easy ... https://www.facebook.com/reel/666373389023633

Let us know where that is. As a Yank, it's not the USA. I actually have more 'freedoms' here/TH, than I did in USA. Democracy ... That's an illusion

Train is a good option for those petrified about being on the roadways

Link I posted shows Patts station about 6 kms away from beach area, though that may be convenient for some, as who actually live at beach area. Short taxi/bolt/grab beats leaving your car somewhere for a week, I think, unless secure and inexpensive parking available. Driving really wouldn't be a pleasant drive, Patts to Hua Hin, as already stated, 35 is crap, and slow on a good days, in a few spots. Then moves pretty good, but avoid weekends as BKK'er head to/from the beaches.

Not seeing on their menu ... when last time you were there ? Not seeing anything inexpensive in that place, but agree, looks like a dump. BeerLao during happy hour 110/150 ...

Patts has train service to BKK, not sure how convenient, times & station are. HH station (old) is very convenient and walking distance to surfside and most things city wise that interst. Patts even has a rapid train on weekends, or use to. Worth checking out.

operating any machined transportation defeats your moral compass. Even a horse driven one is questionable, as has to be broken. Moral compass ... Hypocrisy - the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform.

That sounds terrible. Wife used Ritz for a crust/bottom once, forget, Apple or CheeseCake, and didn't work. Vanilla cookies do, in a pinch. Mrs Smith's pies are available at some vendors, or use to be (Udon Thani), Villa Market, and Top's in expat areas. Silly priced, but if have to have. Really is too easy to make. Crust is easy, but have to use frozen shaved butter. If you fail at that, then an Apple (any fruit) crumb is quite easy, and really hard to screw up. Easier solution is Apple turnover/Danish using store bought puff pastry. Icing is simply confection sugar and few drops of milk & vanilla. Just don't buy the pie filling in a can, if you actually want apples in you pie, as they are most thick syrup. Apples, sugar, cinnamon, flour butter and you have your pie ingredients. They even sell pre-made pie crusts.

When oil producers, PTT/TH and others start diversifying into building EVs & batteries, that should tell what direction things are going. CH big oil diversifying is writing on the wall. It's there, just accept it. No problems with EVs. although your ICEVs for personal use are on borrowed time. Maybe not in our lifetime, but will be phased out.

I agree & disagree, depending on someone's research skill & risk. Buffet himself says he regrets not getting into bitcoin/crypto. I remember my brother found a stock, for subscription gay TV/news, before it was main stream. Being ignorant & Christian he had 2nd thoughts and asked me. I'm like, who cares, it's a niche market in demand, buy. Turned out to be one of our best ROI. Same with an early universal health tracking software, now being used to record everyone health history. Unheard of at the time, another buy & good ROI. 2000, Cheney/Bush2 appointed, OK, no brainer. Oil stocks. Only regret, didn't buy into defense contractor's stock, for moral reason, but definitely regret it, as simply don't care any more. If people are that stupid ... oh well. People need to be current in politics and follow the big boys. Any wonder the pipeline got shut down. Couldn't be that Buffet is heavily invested in train lines and non pipeline transport of oil. Always need to look at the big $$$ picture behind the MSM BS spin.

@glegolo18 You may want to ring him up, and ask if he goes anywhere else, KK maybe, as closer to UR. He just offered UT, knowing we lived there, and not knowing we no longer do. Hopefully someplace more convenient for you.

Not the locations you mention, BUT ... does go to Udon Thani on occasion, though no set monthly schedule like he use to have. His regular office/home, is located at Uban Ratchathani. Ph # 085 306 7123 speaks English Info is current as wife just called to verify. We've used him years ago when he use to visit UT monthly. We even popped into his home office once when in the area.
