Afghanistan is landlocked.

Does anyone not think that RU already has all the info about reaper drones they could possibly need. Retrieved from downed or simply crashed during Iraq, Afghan, Iran or other operation fields. Wanted to down it, so UA has less information about their ground and sea operations. Retrieving would be nice, could always sell or give to one of their allies.

A nice piece of flying by the Russian pilot ... well done ???? No surprise RU was quick to the crash site, considering their permanent placement of ships there.

I don't. Never even heard of sunscreen or skin cancer, until they started marketing sunscreens intensely. Then it seems nothing but skin cancer in the news, with more sunscreen marketing. Always seem to find a carcinogen substance in sunscreen every couple years. Kind of a chicken & egg scenario ... ????

Social Life ... ... I'm still waiting to come out of my shell. My dog/therapist is the only one that understands and accepts me. All the social life I need, or want.

I hope nobody actually thinks that is fast ????

If this Climate Change, Global Warming, MM or not ... ... I'm lovin' it. Rained 3 times already this dry season month ☂️

That's not good, and one expert predicted they were in trouble. Hope the life line works .... or not, as really don't care. Popped into the bank the other day. Pillow cases are full up ... ????

I bought a spare for the MG ZS ICE, but instead of the donut, simply got the real tire on a mag, and only cost 1000 baht more. Figured when time for new tires, I'd just keep the best on replaced as the spare, and only have to buy 3. In the EV trunk now. Means the shelf has to be on top tier, but we don't need the space anyway.

????????????

That's why I don't tip here, I leave it to the wife. I had a hard time spending less than $100 at a restaurant, for two, in the United States and that was 25 years ago. Two or three times a week, and my dining budget was probably my highest monthly expenditure. Looking back, I find that really strange because now, 1000 baht at a restaurant seems expensive. I think I've come full circle, kind of wish I had all that money from the states eating out. Didn't have kids or expensive hobbies, so I guess that was my pastime.

Yeah I'm a open book sometimes. There's nothing I wouldn't say on the forum, that I wouldn't say in life or to someone's face. I don't hide behind the keyboard. If anyone wanted to find me, I posted enough pictures and maps that I'd be easy to track down.

Free trade agreement between Vietnam and the EU ... that's about as irrelevant to my life as you can get ????

Somebody wasn't wearing his seatbelt ????

sniper implies professional, and obviously not ????

Is that a tax, or just price gouging ? Though suspect a tax also, as imported TH craft beer is silly priced. Big 2 controlling the market. At least my liver is happy ????

Yes, the photos look like would I expect pizza to be ???? Wish Pizza Co would put their NY Pizza back on the menu.

It's a prison, not a resort. Personally think all western prisons afford to many luxuries to the inmates. They should be subsistence work farms with minimal housing luxuries.

After meeting some of the aholes here, yes. I became more anti social than ever. TH does attract them. Met a few like minded folks also, though TBH, time spent together, can't really say I know them. Not like childhood friends, or long time coworkers that socialized together. Always been a loner ... but here, I fall into the recluse category ???? DISCLAIMER: didn't watch the vid, as I rarely do from these posts.

NO THANKS ... FTA will make things more expensive. Besides, there is nothing I want or need from EU. Or the USA, for that matter. FTA = more rules & regulations BRICS & ASEAN rock ????

"Can you imagine such blood thirsty despots as: Adolf Hitler; Saddam Hussein; or Pol Pot presiding over the U.N. Security Council, charged with preserving global peace and harmony?" Are people really this ignorant. The 5 permanent members of the UNSC are some of the top arms dealers of the world. UK slipping a bit ???? Nothing but a terrorist organization as far as I'm concerned ... IMHO IMHO IMHO IMHO Want stop stop wars, the killing of innocents, stop making and selling the means to commit mass murder on a world wide scale. Who holds the gavel is a bit irrelevant. 2022 - wiki:

That's an issue also, and seems a bit to close to 'grooming', I think is the word. To be a 'mature' teen, 15+ or even younger, and know exactly where you lean, then you're kind of screwed and need to be patient for a few yrs, till adulthood. I had a pretty good idea, who I was 13-14-15, though can't say others were as confident or not subject to outside influence, and make decisions they may regret in the future. It's OK being 'confused', but leave the life changing meds and or surgery till adulthood. Confess to ignorance, about the timeline of hormone therapy, prior, during or after puberty sets in or is over. And effects of starting late, if any, or too early, then change of mind.

Of all the ones nominated, only saw 2, Top Gun & Avatar, and 5/10 at best for both, unimpressed. Tried watching the big winner ... lost interest. Didn't even peek at the others, as no interest at all.

OP's got the right idea .. southward. Was going to say south of us, but the international school is going to be the deciding factor. Plenty of beach side & cleaner air, though nowhere seems to be AQI <50 year round, so still not good. Surat Thani, NST, Trang, Krabi ... less populated, local pollution, and maybe decent schools. Ruled out lower, violence ridden 3 or 4.

That's not too surprising, as stated, helmet law is enforced a bit more, and unless on the highway, which small scooters aren't allowed on, then hard to build up any speed in gridlock half the day to do much damage. Aside from any accident injury, I'd hate to drive around in the exhaust, as that's nauseating.
