  1. So you're promoting the big lie that Biden didn’t win. Biden won.
  2. Of course he wants that and will try to help make that happen, but otherwise not following your logic.
  3. From Putin's fascist Russia to.Trump's fascist Magas with love. Get a room guys!
  4. Not quite an emergency. It wasn't an area outage. The topic can be closed.
  5. Not common. DSL line down indicates a problem on the phone line. Sometimes wide areas are effected. Meaning no need to eveh report the problem. Just wait.
  6. Aw shucks. Foreigners coming to Thailand are really supposed to approach Thailand with a Thai perspective? Lighten up Thais!
  7. Yes in Pattaya and Jomtien. In the tourism areas. Including Family Marts basically the same business model. There was extensive discussion about this when it happened. It was very dramatic.
  8. Another point Russians may adjust what they say when talking to westerners so if they say they are anti Putin I wouldn't necessarily believe them.
  9. Or Pattaya Is your internet down or is it just me? Outage started early this morning.
  10. Yes but the point was consumers were loving his food. I recall it had taken him a lot longer to open than expected so that short rope wasn't the original plan. My point was that to say businesses that survive are necessarily the best ones for consumers is a silly ideologically based myth.
  11. Biden would do no such thing. But if it comes to sentencing he won't be treated exactly the same as a regular citizen and the majority of Americans would understand why that would make sense
  12. I am not convinced about your idealistic theory especially in tourism cities. Often it's the crappier for consumers businesses that survive shakeouts. Because of internal factors like better sourcing deals not passed on to consumers, being adequately capitalized to eat years of losses and many others. Reminds of an excellent South American restaurant that opened some years back in Jomtien by an experienced restaurateur. The food was excellent, the prices very fair, the service provided with love. To the casual observer it looked like they had enough customers at least for a new business selling something different. So.I asked the owner how long he had to make the place profitable as he had shared with me his stress related to the business . He said less than a month I was shocked. They soon vanished.
  13. Many more weed shops than 7-11s. Many closed during the pandemic.
  14. I've moved to many places in the US in my life including some well known desirable areas but New York City was the one place that I started to move to that I quickly aborted. If you can make it there you can make it anywhere is the myth.. Well the sacrifices needed to make it there just weren't worth it to me
  15. There actually has been a historically significant brain drain of Russian technical talent related to the war.. Visa policies are a complex country specific thing. They go to many places and don't necessarily need formal residency visas to.work. Dubai is very popular Many work remotely for Russian companies faking their location. Putin.wants them back. In any case you are promoting a vile and false conspiracy theory that western powers want this war..
  16. Yeah I wouldn't want to risk accidentally booking a flight there.
  17. Surprising so many can afford just the rent there.
