  1. While on subject of Immigration: "How many immigrants entered the US in 2022? According to Vintage 2022 population estimates released today, net international migration added more than a million people to the U.S. population between July 1, 2021 and July 1, 2022.Dec 22, 2565 BE" https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2022/12/net-international-migration-returns-to-pre-pandemic-levels.html#:~:text=According to Vintage 2022 population,2021 and July 1%2C 2022. A wee bit more than this number ... some excess: "The body of law governing U.S. immigration policy is called the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The INA allows the United States to grant up to 675,000 permanent immigrant visas each year across various visa categories." Sep 14, 2564 BE https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/how-united-states-immigration-system-works How's that compare to rest of the world: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/immigration-by-country
  2. Mexico don't want them either, knowing most get turned down. USA / Mexico border number ... mind boggling Thanks Joe, for cancelling Trumps stay in MX till approved policy https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/11/09/whats-happening-at-the-u-s-mexico-border-in-7-charts/ft_21-11-01_mexicoborder_2/
  3. Poor comparison. Australia being an island, and much easier to control illegal guns. The reality of it, guns aren't the problem, people are. People say Australia banned guns ... not really. Here's some more fun facts for you: ... With population of only 25 million in Australia ... "New University of Sydney figures on gun ownership in Australia: Australian civilians now own more than 3.5 million registered firearms, an average of four for each licensed gun owner." https://www.sydney.edu.au/news-opinion/news/2021/04/28/new-gun-ownership-figures-revealed-25-years-on-from-port-arthur.html Compared to USA, with 335 million population: ... "Of the 393 million firearms in the U.S., only 6.06 million of them are registered." https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/guns-per-capita
  4. Well in that case, your Glock will probably be restricted to same amount as a revolver, as why would you need more, so, 6 or 5 rounds vs 30, 32 if pre chambered, and that's if they don't have extended factory clips of 33 rounds each. It's very simple ... IF the govt has their way, you'll NEVER have the same fire power as the criminals. Let that sink in ... take as much time as you need. Consider those restricting you, politicians, will have their armed security. Same with the elite, celebrities, all pushing to restrict your rights, but having armed security.
  5. You wake up in the middle of the night, hear people downstairs rummaging. So you grab your bolt action 22 that has a 5 round clip. Sneak down, hit the lights, and now have two Glocks pointed at you with 15 round mags. Well done ????
  6. So they have an infrastructure that can't support the 67 million Thais, but are hoping 3X that many tourist will come in the future. Consider most come during high season. That should be fun ... ????
  7. There are more than enough laws already for firearms. 1 loopholes need to be closed: ... private sales need to go through FLL dealer. Still not done in some states. ... along with mandatory life sentence, selling or possessing an illegal firearm. ... better enforcement & longer sentence on all firearm violation & convictions. Close the revolving prison door. People will still fall through the crack, but most on record as being an Awhole, are and will be stopped from getting one legally, as most are now.
  8. Only an idiot would use the 300 BO vs 5.56 round. Cost about 30% more, and is less accurate. Only plus, has more kick to it, which nobody needs. 300 Blackout ... "The bullet drops about 3 inches at 100 yards, 8 inches at 200 yards, 2 feet at 300 yards, 4.5 feet at 400 yards, and 9 feet at 500 yards." 5.56 ... "The 5.56 will shoot within 6 inches at 300 yard's with a 55 grain bullet' .223 Remington will go up, about 2" @ 100m and be spot on @ 200m Which do you want to hunt with ? For home defense, doesn't matter, though I wouldn't use a long rifle for (in) home defense anyway. That's silly.
  9. BMI is fairly irrelevant, as it doesn't take into consideration of one's bone or muscle mass. One size does NOT fit all. Standing in front of a mirror is a better judge of 'your' BMI. If you can't tell if you are too thin, just right or overweight, you got a few issues to deal with.
  10. Gmap: Magic Food Park "3 months ago (Translated by Google) Cheap eats at Don Mueag airport. Just search because it is at the very end of the airport on the 2nd floor. Towards the parking garage. Follow the SRT redline route." "4 months ago (Translated by Google) The food court for travelers, employees and the general public is located in a 7-storey car park building on the 2nd floor, next to 7-Eleven (connection to the Red SRT Skytrain station). Pork knuckle, noodles, etc., inexpensive, must redeem the coupon before using the service. Inside is an air-conditioned room. Supports enough users to use the service. There are service personnel" https://www.google.co.th/maps/place/Magic+Food+Park/@13.9167144,100.6004042,17z/data=!4m8!3m7!1s0x30e28261b3b99153:0xec29e64205ee0c38!8m2!3d13.9167144!4d100.6004042!9m1!1b1!16s%2Fg%2F11bxfgtr22?authuser=0&hl=en
  11. That's about, but subjective, as some 'cities' have multiple 'downtowns', and really depends who and why they are going downtown. Size of the 'city' makes a big difference also. In which case, most locals will use neighborhoods / district names. "I need to go downtown and take care of some business" ... ... probably the 'business' district(s). 'We going downtown to for late lunch or dinner' ... ... probably not the business district. Could be generic, for those living in suburbia ... ... "I'm going into the city ... heading downtown today" Annoying when folks ask ... "coming to Bangkok (Krung Thep #1), and need recommendation for accommodations 'downtown' " ... can you get any more vague.
  12. I used to have health insurance, provided by employer, and never really needed, along with travel insurance, provided by CC companies if using for rental/bookings. Especially Am Ex. ???? Never used but was surprised about the amounts covered. Silly amounts you'd need to be in 1 serious accident with extended care to reach the limits. All the traveling I did, I actually never new travel ins was a thing, ignorance prevailed, not that I would ever pay for it anyway. Being Anti-ins ????
  13. Solar panels aren't unsightly, they simply show your intelligence.
  14. It is on TPB as an E-book DL Guess it will be hitting TV before the end of the year, since series if popular.
  15. Not almost ... but never used in mass shooting. People want info, they should check FBI stats, they find that most people are killed by their wife, husband or acquaintance. Most people killed by handguns; 2019, 10,258 murders by firearms 364 by rifle 200+ by shotgun https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-2019/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-8.xls 2019 ... 13,927 murders, only 1372 by strangers https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-2019/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-10.xls Don't pisss people off. 350ish million people in USA, and only 1372 were random killing. Chance of someone just pointing a firearm at you is fairly non existent. With few exceptions, violent crimes have dropped almost every year. STOP READING THE HEADLINES .. start reading the facts. https://www.statista.com/statistics/191219/reported-violent-crime-rate-in-the-usa-since-1990/
  16. I replied to your other thread, you're welcome ... ... but I thought you want less smog (from other thread), and you're going to CM. Ignoring advice to head southward for less smog. Oh well, whatever ... watch out for those 'undercover sex workers' ????
  17. I was going to ask similar question, fun ?, and give some advice depending on answer, but think I'll pass now. Google is your friend ... possibly your only. ENJOY cancel that idea
  18. Almost impossible to buy, IF you can even find one, and ridiculously expensive to buy and keep in the USA. https://www.britannica.com/technology/assault-rifle Fun facts for you, even surprised me: ... there are over 630k legal fully automatic assault rifles registered in the USA. Ownership can't be transferred without approval of ATF https://www.boisestatepublicradio.org/news/2018-12-21/automatic-weapons-are-legal-but-it-takes-a-lot-to-get-one-of-the-630-000-in-the-u-s
  19. Chrome just started doing this. If I highlight text and right click to search, it opens a sidebar instead of new tab. To disable that feature and restore searching in new tab: "Run the Chrome browser, and open a new tab. Type or copy-paste chrome://flags/#side-search into the address bar and hit Enter . Select Disabled from the drop-down list next to the Side Search option. Relaunch the browser when prompted"
  20. With no before & after, it's pretty hard to tell what they had to work with. From looks of it, she'll have a thin line across her cheek, and surely can be touched up if she wants later. Looks like it was a fairly jagged tear and slice. A little concealer and make up would do a fine job of blending.
  21. For those that have about ฿7.9 mill to part with:
  22. Agree, and thought it was just a nasty scratch till reading 56 stitches, well done.
