  1. Way past the point of 'going to'. See you tube vids on shopping malls, car dealerships, Vegas, airports , etc.
  2. I think she may be shining the judge....
  3. Talk about white priveledge....jeeeesh..
  4. Dear Thailand...DO NOT ALLOW THE US MILITARY anywhere near Thailand. They will start colonizing you and taking control of everything here and you will never get rid of them.
  5. Trump ='s Epstein. Epstein =∙s Trump. it’s not a difficult equation.
  6. Sells more than lotus flowers are blooming.
  7. well, it may not be the best strategy at the moment, but if we look at the history of Thailand overall i.e. having incredibly grands schemes being proposed lagering around for once or years, and never appearing to be done... maybe that’s the secret to Thailand being the only uncolonized nation in the world and one of the most popular tourist countries too. I would be in anyone’s favor if you could express your achieved and knowing opinion on this matter.
  8. Thanks everyone for your answers, comments and advices, they are well taken. I now feel confident and in control to proceed with the process. Cheers
  9. I've got 6 months before my USA passport is done and am in the process of going over the paperwork for it's renewal in Thailand. I'm living here on a Retirement visa which I will have to renew at the end life of my current passport. As I am filling out the paperwork for the passport renewal that is done at the US embassy here in Bangkok, it states in the " information on how to receive your passport" section which is part of the whole explanation about renewing a passport while outside the United States, "NOTE: The US Department of State will not mail a US passport to a private address outside the United States or Canada". One can only mail in a passport for renewal, no appointments, no meetings, no phone calls. I haven't attempted to call their National (USA?) info number as it is a 877 number and the hours don't work for me right now. Has anyone renewed a US passport living in Thailand and had to have it mailed to a US address, or have you gotten it at your Thai address?
  10. One day. But you’ll never get a new passport renewed in time.. give yourself about three or four months because the only way that Thailand does a passport renewal is if you mail it into them it is the only way they will take it in. You cannot call them. You cannot make an appointment other than online for other things, but not for a passport. You have to mail it in so don’t wait too long.
  11. No country will ever use nukes. The only time ever used was by the United States, twice. Those were 15 and 21 kilotons on Japan. The nuclear bombs that could be used today are now up to 1000 kilotons. Have you seen pictures of Japan after it was nuked? Todays bombs 1000 x's that. Deadly fast, dealy precise and deadly terminating. Retaliation is within 10 to 30 minutes leaving complete destruction within the first hour, nuclear fallout and nuclear winter. My bets on Dumps handlers have given him the wrong codes.
  12. Biden is not running for president. He was the president, but no longer is. Dump is now the president. Come into present time please.
  13. To begin with it’s a BS number. If 9 is .01% of 99.99%, then the starting number is 90,009.0009 to be exact. They stated in April 11,000 illegal immigrants entered. either this is conflicting data with the number nine or they are saying that many attempted to enter, but they didn’t say the word attempted they said, entered in the story. So that’s 30 days from 100 days, averaging this out for the hundred days, the answer is a total of 36,667 illegal border crossings. It’s probably higher because of the story “April and the story is probably emphasizing the lowest number crossing, but we don’t know that because they don’t give all the data so we have to assume as this writer is obviously pro Trump. So really the number 9 doesn’t come from anywhere factually someone just made it up apparently. The reporting in the story is so full of holes. It’s just nonsense.
  14. ... and this is a rarified, boring and almost impossible existence.
  15. got to disagree with you there’s as many or more tattoos worldwide in other countries as there are in Thailand. I think what is occurring with your observation is that simply it’s more visible here. They are just as many tattoo shops in Los Angeles as there are here in Thailand. I have many other people I know that don’t live in Thailand have what you would consider large and obnoxious tattoos.
  16. I wondered about all the meteor hits and strikes on the moon and all the time that man has gone on the moon and been interested in the moon and flown around it and landed on it... I don’t recall ever hearing any incident or seeing any meteor strike the moon but there’s hundreds of thousands of impacts over millions of years. Why don’t we see or hear about more impacts on the moon I wonder.
  17. Fantastic, could not be happier that man is finally, after 50+ years in 1972 when the last man to walk on the moon was Eugene Cernan. America was scheduled to reland there in 2025, but with jerk-off at the American helm, that's unlikely. Why did we stop going to the Moon, and set our attention on the ridiculousness of settling a colony on Mars? Good question. I read it was because lack of funding and lack of interest from the Public. But since when has the Public swayed the Government from getting what it wants? 50+ years. Supposedly, no missions were flown since the 1972 Apollo 17 mission. But there were other Apollo missions planned; 18,19, and 20 . All built for and scheduled to take place but obviously never did. Mystifies me why anyone would think the advantages are greater regarding Mars over the Moon. Was it because of the ridiculously insane question.."Are we alone?" There are 300 million Earthlike planets in our Galaxy alone, so that's not the reason. Another planet to conquer? Stupid, buy maybe. America felt that going to the Moon was most important as a race to walk on the Moon, and they won it. But what about the odd and strange things about the Moon? The Moon is unusually large compared to the Earth. It's the 5th largest planet in the Solar system, but Earth is the smallest planet to have such a large Moon. The Moon's diameter is about 1/4 of that of the Earth making their size ratio much larger than typical planet–moon systems. Most moons are far smaller in relation to their planets. Our Moon’s orbit is also nearly circular, which is rare. The Moon perfectly covers the Sun during a total solar eclipse. The Moon is 400 times smaller than the Sun, but it's also 400 times closer to the Earth—a near-perfect match for eclipses. This coincidence allows for perfect total eclipses, which is incredibly rare and temporary in cosmic terms. We only ever see one side of the Moon from Earth. It’s “tidally locked” to Earth, so the same face always points toward us. Tidal locking is known, but the Moon's rotational stability is unusually precise. The far side remained completely hidden until space probes photographed it in the 1950s. The "far side" isn’t always dark—it gets sunlight too—but Earthlings never see it directly. The Moon has regions with strange magnetic fields, despite not having a global magnetic field. Some lunar rocks are magnetized, suggesting the Moon once had a dynamo — but scientists aren’t sure how or why it stopped. The Moon’s core is supposedly too small and cool for a magnetic dynamo effect. So how are some areas still magnetized? Some Moon rocks are older than the oldest Earth rocks. Lunar rocks contain isotopes and materials (like pure titanium and uranium-236) not commonly found on Earth or other celestial bodies. Earth is constantly changing due to erosion and plate tectonics, while the Moon's surface is more stable and ancient. When Apollo 12 and Apollo 13 deliberately crashed modules onto the Moon, it "rang like a bell" —seismic vibrations lasted much longer than expected. Seismic experiments from Apollo missions showed that when struck (e.g., by spent lunar modules), the Moon reverberated for hours—“ringing like a bell.” NASA scientists described it as “ringing like a bell,” sparking Hollow Moon and artificial satellite theories. There’s no perfect consensus on how the Moon formed. The Moon is said to have no atmosphere, but it actually has a tenuous exosphere. This “atmosphere” is so thin it’s nearly a vacuum, but it contains sodium, phosphate, and other trace elements. The Moon has whitish swirls (like Reiner Gamma) with no elevation or crater changes, but strong magnetic fields. Their origin is unknown—they may be from comet impacts or interactions with solar wind. The Moon has tiny colored glass beads in its soil. These formed during ancient volcanic eruptions, suggesting a more geologically active Moon in the past than once believed. Large craters on the Moon don’t go as deep as expected based on the size of impacts. It suggests there may be a very hard or dense layer under the lunar surface—again supporting ideas of an artificial shell or internal structure. Radiometric dating of Moon rocks suggests ages up to 5.3 billion years—older than Earth (4.5 billion). For centuries, astronomers have reported strange lights, flashes, and color changes on the Moon's surface. These are sometimes recorded even today, yet no definitive explanation exists for many of them. Lunar dust "levitates" above the surface at twilight and dawn due to electrostatic forces. This behavior isn’t fully understood, and caused unexpected problems for astronauts and spacecraft. In contrast, Mars colonization presents significant challenges, including its distance from Earth, harsh environmental conditions, and the need for advanced life support systems. Focusing on the Moon allows for the testing and refinement of technologies necessary for deep space exploration, serving as a stepping stone for future missions to Mars and beyond. Overall, the strategic pivot back to the Moon reflects a pragmatic approach to space exploration, balancing ambition with achievable milestones.
  18. well, that definition it’s not a violent act. It wasn’t committed against any person or living thing. It might be construed as an angry act. Or an act of protest, but it’s definitely not a violent act. And there is absolutely no proof that it wasn’t a spontaneous combustion that occurred in multiple cities until proven guilty. This swaticar goes bye bye.
  19. What are the odds? Oh, one and 4 billion. Bitch findin’ a date.
  20. I was just at Mapta Phut Immigration yesterday and the woman at the window told me just bring in your bank statements for the last three months and don’t worry too much about it. It being that I didn’t have 800 K in the account. So if they’re flexible with that, I think they’ll be flexible with the 65K.
  21. and when this condition eventually is realized in the USA, imagine the speed of the downward spiral of the economy then. We ain’t seen nothing folks.
  22. Whenever you go to exchange money for services, bring your female companion you will get the Thai price or better. At least that’s what’s always work for me.
