Officer fired after shooting teen in McDonald's car park
KhunLA replied to Scott's topic in World News
I saw that news-blip. Actually I think the first few shot were justified, as he did purposely put the car in reverse and step on the gas. That's battery with a deadly weapon. If conditions right, the officer could have been killed The follow up shots while driving away, that's definitely got to be against departmental policy. News-blip I read stated the plates didn't match the car, then further down stated, 'unknown if a stolen vehicle' .... ???? Why do the never think to shoot the tires ... maybe high risk of ricochet. -
We could all say the same, about our home countries. Or could we: No worries of pedos ... or didn't make the news No worries of getting run over in the streets ... though my friend in kindergarten was killed crossing one ... childhood friend was hit (survived) after being hit No worries of yaba & drugs ... I know people that OD'd bay in 70s No worries about protests and gov't suppression ... Ohio State People don't teach their kids or watch them from drowning ... I was saved at a Las Vegas pool, by CPR ... Childhood friend drowned on a Boy Scout outing to a pool No mass shootings ... Texas tower ... one of the first to make the news Thailand in no different than the rest of the world. People seem to have selective memories. Also compare Mangos & Papayas, 3rd world vs 3rd world not vs 1st world.

From one site, to compare with the familiar MG ZS for most folks: "The Atto 3's body dimensions are 4455 mm long, 1,875 mm wide, 1,615 mm tall, 2,720 mm wheelbase and 175 mm ground clearance, which is larger than the ZS EV in almost every dimension." That's a bit of a stretch, but true; 4455/4323 1875/1809 1615/1649 2720/2585 175/161 Looking good, w/blade battery, and bit more range ???? https://www.autofun.co.th/news/2022-byd-atto-3-price-spec-annoucement-55248

Snake repellent
KhunLA replied to malthebluff's topic in Organic Farming, Smallholding and Kitchen Gardening
High drama at the house, as this one was in the back yard. At least 2m long, as that is a 4" pipe. OK, after peeking and Ms Google confirmed it was a Rat Snake instead of a Cobra, not as dramatic. Damn they move fast. Note to self: Dog on leash again, when walking at our own house ???? -
Please suggest a self defence for my age?

Please suggest a self defence for my age?
KhunLA replied to georgegeorgia's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Scenario ... mugger stands in front of me, my cross body bag in front of me, he demands money. I take my small wallet out of pocket, also contains my small blade, and drop the money from or whole wallet in front of me .... deflection. Money clip in wallet, so easy just to drop the money, and all the mugger cares about, as I already look 'terrified' and he thinks he is controlling the situation. As he bends to pick up money / wallet, as he stands, my blade is now pressed against his throat. If I think necessary or I simply let him take the money, and it's over. Again, all BS, as I never put myself in those situations....any more. Keeping my big city wits about me and my spider senses active, along with not placing myself in harm's way has worked well for 50 some adult years. Not much expected to change simple because I live in TH. -
Yes, but since he states 'every time I start', implies he's been driving around with it, instead of tending to the issue. Hope he keeps his hand on the hand brake, if having, while driving.

You ask on a forum, instead of taking to dealer or shop to deal with it. Does sound like air in the lines or low level of fluid, and better dealt with at the auto shop, instead of the internet. Mind boggling ... ????

Talk to 2 people, but 'many' from Russia ???? Unless on a direct flight to HKT, you'd need transit stickers.

If the worse happens in the war, what happens in Thailand?
KhunLA replied to Jingthing's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Russian citizens don't want nothing to do with UA and the conflict. That UA makes it illegal for draft age men to leave the country, screams most UA citizens don't agree with the war either, but yet, nobody is sitting down and seriously discussing ending it. What's wrong with that picture ? -
If the worse happens in the war, what happens in Thailand?
KhunLA replied to Jingthing's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
TBH, don't know who to believe. USA's fueled regime change of UA seemed to cause the problems. Crimea first wanted out, or so I read, then Donbass, with their coal industry (huge % of UA GDP) had enough of the 'corrupt' installed govt, and were getting regularly bombed, women & children, for wanting out. Or so I read. It always seems to be about money, and what corrupt govt/regime controls it. Cower & comply or die. Was Putin right to go in, and stop that, I don't know, as MSM is anti RU & Putin. But go to alternative news, and plenty of confirmation of UA being quite brutal to those, Donbas, that don't accept the new regime, since 2014. Actually don't know, don't care one way or the other, as doesn't affect me at all. That it caters to the western elites' grab for power & money, does confirm Putin's stance. US & NATO countries have been trying to de-stabilize RU forever. RU has asked NATO to stop expanding to their border, and ignored. Putin/RU going into UA is a no win for RU, so why, except to protect Russian that want out of UA control. There's no profit for RU with war with UA. UA's arms supply has been depleted, a while ago, and what little they had left, was used on Donbas and now against RU. No longer a world supplier of arms as they were before the regime changes. What if RU put nukes in Canada & Mexico ? Oh wait, they tried that in Cuba, and seems that wasn't allowed, and yet, RU whole western front if a launching point of nukes. The news & politicians can't be trusted, so unless I see it with my own eyes, I don't believe any of it. I remember when we were told the arms race was to keep peace. Now wars seem to be started, to fuel the arms race for profits. Screw the women & children caught in the middle. Remember when UN was established to keep peace in the world. Yet the 5 permanent members of the Security Council, are 5 of the top arms supplier of the world. Want to stop wars, stop making arms. Simple solutions to simple problems. -

KhunLA replied to Jingthing's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Yep ... ASEAN is fine & dandy, and wouldn't take sides against RU or CH. Why would they, as no reason to. Thais don't really need either, but they are friendships of convenience and economically beneficial. USA doing nothing but profiting from RU sanctions. UK & EU suffering and really don't know what to do since so dependent on imports of food & energy. Unlike the USA ... and yet, they play USA's lapdog ... ???? -
1999 for me, and if I had to pay for airfare, from USA, then never would have, as way too far to sit in the back of the bus. The most expensive (at the time) & crappiest hotel I ever stayed in, at AMS. And I'm pretty thrifty, along with airline employee discounts. Fine for 1 time visit, and location, only plus, was perfect. Short walk to the museums. Was an excellent trip, but see why most Yanks, stay in the Americas. Time & expense to go points afar, are, were, a bit silly, unless you're ok with the back of the bus on long trips ... NO THANKS

Don't think you will. As mentioned, the packaged stuff at Gourmet/Tops/Villa is about your only choices. Could make your own, as really not that hard. Patience is the hard part. YT is your friend.

KhunLA replied to Jingthing's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Yep ... it's amazing anyone actually thinks any country w/nukes would use them. It would be the end of themselves, economically, if not starting WWIII, which isn't profitable for anyone. And profit is all that matters. The MSM's push for nuclear war BS is profitable enough. Defense contractors are racking in the $$$. Doom & Gloom always sells. Same people that control the MSM, control the politician, control & profit with the arms race. SELL SELL SELL Hard to believe people really are that stupid ... a nuke war ???? -

KhunLA replied to Jingthing's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
UK/RU are far away. NO worries. Already in a 'prepper's' state of mind. World economies and failed policies really don't affect us. No plan is a plan for failure ???? -
I went there / AMS, because the airlines I worked for co-shared their flights, and cost near nothing for employees to go 1st class to AMS. Van Halen perked my interest in visiting the Bull Dog for some hash smoking. Only hung out in AMS for 3 days for the museums, and can highly recommend. Great visit before moving on for a pitstop at Copenhagen, then to Sweden to visit niece. My only EU experience, and never again. Damn expensive & boring food. Loved the 2 cities though. Only went to Sweden, because I didn't want to go from hot MEM to hot HKT, so got some snow skiing in with visiting my niece. Thankfully I did make the visit, as she passed away, way to young, and that was the last time I saw her. Pretty sure people don't travel to AMS, or TH, just to smoke a bit of weed. Especially at the silly TH prices, if they research prior. That would be one stupid person.

Actually the law was specific, people simply ignore it. Same as the alcohol & P4P laws. Does it only bother you since you apparently don't indulge. You can't pick and chose which laws others should ignore because of your moral compass or beliefs. Simply being de-criminalize is all that was needed for people to come 'out' as potheads. It's a stimulant far less dangerous to yourself & others than say alcohol or cigs. Availability was always here, so nothing new there except for the most ignorant. Live and let live ... ????
