You are stuck in the 1970s and 1980s, when British and American cars were indeed of poor quality. However, in 2025 no manufacturer makes bad cars. None. Even the Chinese. Even cars not selling well, like Nissan, are actually very good cars. Modern American cars are very good. In fact there is no such thing as a Chinese, American or British car anymore. Most cars today are amalgams of other cars made in other countries. For example, the latest Lamborghini is actually identical to the latest Audi, and full of VW parts.

The British rebuilt the factories with German slave labour, because they wanted to keep these factories initially, and even considered shipping them wholesale to the UK. This of course after an orgy of Kleptomania all across Germany by British and American service personnel. The fact that the British did return the VW factories to their rightful owners, is to their credit however, the Russians were not that scrupulous.

Indeed they could. If say, the US imported oil from Russia, it still would not have a trade deficit with Russia because Russian exports to the US are minute at the moment. It would just be a fairer trade than shoving 60 billion USD down the gullet of the poutine feeders.

I am not afraid of homosexuality at all. Indeed, if that is a what a guy likes, go for it, whatever floats your boat, Lord knows my sexual preferences are not mainstream. What people do in their bedroom is up to them. But I do not get a parade, I do not get subsidised by the taxpayer for my sexual kinks. Nobody celebrates my human dignity because I prefer this or that sexual practice. So do not tell me I have to celebrate males engaging in sodomy for their human dignity. That is a bit much frankly. Regarding the point about paedophilia and homomsexuality, among paedophiles an astounding 25% are exclusively or primarily interested in boys. https://www.bmj.com/rapid-response/2011/10/30/homosexuality-and-paedophilia If you consider that the prevalence of homosexuality in the population ranges from 0.5% to 4%, the fact that 25% of paedophiles primarily or exclusively target boys very obviously shows that pedophilia is significantly more prevalent among homosexuals. Of course the Washington Post can skew the numbers in the direction of political correctness to "celebrate the dignity" of homosexuals, by claiming that 75% of paedophiles are heterosexuals, which would be correct, however, if you factor in the actual number of homosexuals in society and their prevalence among paedophiles a very different picture quickly emerges.

Until they get eaten by flying fish.

Good job, I hate being accosted by these do gooders in Big C. I was actually nice enough to stop and make a donation after paying for shopping, I said I would donate 200 Baht, when one of the two teenagers tells me "a sack of rice costs 1000 Baht". I instantly regretted making any donation at all. The cheek!

How free is a bird from the chains of the sky?

Well there's quite a difference between letting people engage in sodomy between males and "celebrating" it, as you advocated, as part of "human dignity". Seems to me there's nothing dignified about it. There is actually a big connection between homosexuality and paedophilia, for instance some homosexual politicians have openly advocated for lowering the age of consent for boys, a great number of paedophiles are homosexual. It is not a leap at all from homosexuality to other paraphilias of a sexual nature. All of them are not a majority pursuit. Why do we, the majority, have to celebrate these paraphilias and privilege them? With government subsidies no less?

Revolut is even worse. Notorious for closing accounts for no reason. And they are relentless about getting your tax info.

Absolutely they can. It may have escaped you that Germany has just found alternative energy supplies for its 90% Russian energy. Was done in a year. Not so. Simply put, the United States remains a manufacturing powerhouse. In 2020 it was the world’s fourth‐largest steel producer and in 2021 was the second-largest automaker and largest aerospace exporter. Accounting for nearly 16 percent of global manufacturing output in 2021—second only to China, which has four times the population of the United States—the US had a greater share than Japan, Germany, and South Korea combined. https://www.cato.org/blog/united-states-remains-manufacturing-powerhouse Maglite torches are the best in the wrold, imho.

Oh my God, he's talking about instant coffee??? The horror!

And you would lose pitifully. Much like your hero Kamala.

Sorry you pour the robusta in a cup? You mean the pre-ground coffee and water I presume?

I love this one, it's the one I have.

It would do the job, but you would be better off with something like the one below. With grinders the ability to adjust the grind size and consistency plus longevity is something to consider. Some people love manual grind, here I prefer to press a button. I juse this Braun grinder below and have no issues for 2 years now. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/kg7070-braun-i5068984106-s21408566962.html?c=&channelLpJumpArgs=&clickTrackInfo=query%3ABraun%252520grinder%3Bnid%3A5068984106%3Bsrc%3ALazadaMainSrp%3Brn%3Ae458b075fbb18933f12312d799b63290%3Bregion%3Ath%3Bsku%3A5068984106_TH%3Bprice%3A4253%3Bclient%3Adesktop%3Bsupplier_id%3A27837%3Bbiz_source%3Ah5_internal%3Bslot%3A20%3Butlog_bucket_id%3A470687%3Basc_category_id%3A11781%3Bitem_id%3A5068984106%3Bsku_id%3A21408566962%3Bshop_id%3A8457%3BtemplateInfo%3A107882_D_E%231104_L%23-1_A3_C%23&freeshipping=1&fs_ab=2&fuse_fs=&lang=th&location=South Korea&price=4253&priceCompare=skuId%3A21408566962%3Bsource%3Alazada-search-voucher%3Bsn%3Ae458b075fbb18933f12312d799b63290%3BoriginPrice%3A425300%3BdisplayPrice%3A425300%3BsinglePromotionId%3A-1%3BsingleToolCode%3AmockedSalePrice%3BvoucherPricePlugin%3A0%3Btimestamp%3A1742541244970&ratingscore=&request_id=e458b075fbb18933f12312d799b63290&review=&sale=0&search=1&source=search&spm=a2o4m.searchList.list.20&stock=1

For all their darkish origin would be nice if VW could put some quality buttons in their cars, not this cheap plastic.

So you want to respect the common value of human dignity by celebrating sodomy between males? Where does this end? Do we need to celebrate bestiality as a common value of human dignity? Paedophilia? Where does it end? Where does human dignity end and mental illness begin?

I love the Moka Pot because it is small and can travel with you. Plus it never ever breaks, whereas some of the hyper expensive espresso machines I had ALWAYS broke. Save the frogs is right though, the machines have marginally better pressure, but the Moka Pot has good pressure and always delivers. But it never breaks and you can take it with you. I don't go for expensive machines anymore because I don't want to deal with the issue of the machine breaking. Plus the cleaning of the machines is much more time intensive than cleaning a little moka pot.

Kopi Luwak is great because the Civets are so discerning. If a coffee bean is not ripe, if the plant was diseased, the Civet would not touch the beans. They only eat the best. Plus of course the enzyme and acid bath afterwards. Be careful in Vietnam though, if they fake Weasel coffee, which they do, I would not buy my Kopi Luwak in Vietnam, whose to say they don't fake the Kopi Luwak as well if they're so good at faking Weasel coffee.

I got someone to send me a transfer from an EU country, my Wise account is in Belgium, and they were unable to, it said "Wise account is not reachable". A few minutes later I did a transfer to my Wise account and after 2 days it did arrive. But this never happened before.

Wasn't Alyssa Milano the ideological extremist who got the Me Too movement off the ground? How wonderful to see she has to sell her car because of her leftist nuttery. Great news. She's also in a 10 milllion $ dollar law suit against her former manager and was in a car accident in 2021. Karma is real.

Oh don't worry, you can buy a good grinder everywhere, even in Thailand. Kopi Luwak is among the best in the world, almost no acidity at all, but too expensive for daily use. Starbucks sell single origin Sumatran which is good. Mandailing Estate in Sumatra send all over the world if you want the real thing. Weasel coffee you have to be careful because the Vietnamese are prone to fake Weasel coffee. They do it well, but it is a problem. You can't go wrong with Yauco from Puerto Rico, Sumatran Mandailing or the best Ethiopian coffee. But some Thai coffe is also excellent, Cafe Ronn is superb.

Good job Bob!

Yes, absolutely right, Moka Pot is the way to go. Get a good grinder, so you can do a good grind. Only buy beans so you grind fresh. Best beans are from Sumatra, but some Ethiopian, Jamaican, Puerto Rican and Thai coffee is also good. In Thailand Cafe Ronn is the best.
