That's one opinion. And yes I know Ellen is now Elliot, as I pointed out. It's a TV series.... fiction, people with powers. She's an actress playing a female character. Changing to Victor was all about woke, and nothing else. Adds absolutely nothing to the storyline.

18,800 are NOT murdered, as I believe you are implying. Too many yes, but not even close to 19k. (10,258 in 2019 / FBI stats), again, posted many times. And yes, too many. Live by the gun, die by the gun. And gang bangers killing each other, some might consider that a 'public service'. Also the majority of people murdered, knew their assailant. Not exactly random killings. Though more than enough to make the news. I was searching murders in NY state, for another thread, and numbers have drop almost consistently from thousands a year, to less than 600. Crime pretty much across the board, across the USA is, was DOWN, up until 2019. Stats iffy after. But that's not a good headliner for fear mongering. You'll never see or read MSM stating things are better. Can't sell anything unless people are scared into buying.

Actually more people ARE killed by deer via auto accidents, than school shootings / innocents, every year. Average 200 killed in accidents caused by deer. Posted earlier, so search deer if wanting to verify source. I can't be bother to constantly repost same links. Y'all just have to accept the fact, that Yanks like their guns, for whatever reason, and being able to own them, simply will NEVER change, in our lifetime at least. Aren't you all the same people that state there are too many nutters out there in the USA with guns, and it's a very dangerous place. But yet, want to deprive people from those very people you say make it a dangerous place. Just a wee bit hypocritical.

Guns have never been allowed in courtrooms, in recent times or Federal buildings. And probably never will be.

Nothing has changed, and people wish to be prepared against tyrants, and protect their family and homes, against all the criminals that don't follow any laws. Doesn't hurt if you enjoy a little venison now & then, as makes some nice sausage. Cheaper than killing one with your car.

Ignore both of those, as Dr Strange had me nodding off. and Umbrella Academy, did a silly 'timeline' change, opened with a dance routine E01, Then went super woke, with Ellen/Elliot Page's character, starting with long 'wig', then change to short man's haircut and a new name, Victor. Along with explaining it to a few character in E02. As if once wasn't enough. You're an actress, just play the female role. It's not the Page show / TV series. Hope you don't plan on only doing male roles in the future, as you can kiss your acting career bye bye. Scratch S03, and a shame, as S1 & 2 were kind of entertainer.

"considering I got to Pattaya in a hour" Were the wheels touching the ground ? Patts beach to Silom is 130-150 kms away. BKK airport to Patts is 120 kms.

High inflation seem to be across the board ... worldwide. So all things being equal, not much of a change.

Not a big fan of apps. 1 less on my phone works for me ... ???? Local office is usually empty, or 1-2 people in the Q When house is done, we'll just have auto pay via bank account, as out & about quite often. Have done that with other house.

If paying in person, just take an old bill, they scan it tell how much current month is. Have done it a few times.

I personally wouldn't live above where we are now (1 hr S of Hua Hin), as the air pollution almost half the year is a bit of a turn off. Mae Fah Luang University, if the one you mean, is a lovely campus indeed. We / daughter, check it out a few years back.

Nice neighborhood ???? You have a basement ? That's a rarity.

"Does rinsing canned beans remove sodium? All brands and all varieties of canned beans tested demonstrated reductions in sodium content per serving after draining and draining and rinsing. Across all canned bean varieties and brands tested, the mean reduction in sodium content per serving resulting from draining and rinsing was 41%." https://beaninstitute.com/to-rinse-or-not-to-rinse/#:~:text=Many people wonder if they,drain and rinse canned beans.

Can be either or none

I believe most folks, IMHO, are under the impression, the US citizens want to change the 2nd Amendment or maybe, stack the SCOTUS. That's apparently wrong, or it would have been done already. Can't even get semi auto weapons banned. Yanks like their guns.

Dried beans are better, but there's nothing wrong with canned beans. If concerned about additives, salt, sugar, etc, as if not adding yourself when cooking, simply rinse them off. Frozen are better, and I do buy many veggies frozen, corn, carrots, peas, and some fruits. Fruits & veggies here are poor quality sometimes, and don't last long. If going the fresh / dried bean route, then definitely invest in a pressure cooker.

I do .... not going happen. Impeaching is hard enough, convicting even harder. Nothing states a Justice can't change his / her mind after appointment. And many have. Justice Samuel Chase in 1805 was impeached, and the Senate acquitted him: https://www.supremecourt.gov/about/faq_general.aspx#:~:text=The only Justice to be,was acquitted by the Senate.

Stacking the SCOTUS isn't going to happen in our lifetime, or this century. It would take 2/3 of the vote, to pass an Amendment in Congress to change it. Per Article V, the states can force Congress to 'propose' an Amendment, but that has never been successful. Oh well .... ???? "The Constitution places the power to determine the number of Justices in the hands of Congress. The first Judiciary Act, passed in 1789, set the number of Justices at six, one Chief Justice and five Associates. Over the years Congress has passed various acts to change this number, fluctuating from a low of five to a high of ten. The Judiciary Act of 1869 fixed the number of Justices at nine and no subsequent change to the number of Justices has occurred." https://www.supremecourt.gov/about/faq_general.aspx 1937, President Franklin D. Roosevelt tried to stack the SCOTUS and failed. Hasn't been tried since.

Or because ... "The film was mostly shot in Bangkok, Thailand, and at the time, several hundred male students from the International (American) School of Bangkok (ISB) were recruited as extras to perform in the multitude of shots showing American GI's throughout the film. As a courtesy, Robin Williams actually came to ISB and put on a stand up routine for all students in the 10th grade and above." https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093105/trivia/

Don't know, guessing not though, and more hassle and expense to register, than fines you'd ever accumulate, if any.
