Yeah! Reminds me of an episode of The Wire where Detective Jimmy McNulty 'enjoys' entrapping a sex worker a bit too much!

No probs. It was me who clicked on the agree icon on your post by the way.

Yeah. Even as a non-US citizen I hope the best people possible are on the ticket next time from both main parties. And independents, if there are any who want to stand. But there's a long way to go with the current President; he's generally doing a great job, even if the way he goes about it isn't wholly to my taste.

Lock her up in a facility where she can do no more harm to the McCanns, but where she can get the psych treatment she needs. Prison is no good for her or the McCanns, being left on the street is also no good for her or the McCanns.

Reminds me a bit of the TV show "The Dukes of Hazzard". I wonder if the 'Boss Hogg' in the OP is in this neck deep too, I can't quite see this corruption ending with these cops.

That's just cruel...

Yeah, maybe.

Which place in Pattaya sells the best bacon butties?

Wow, that's a lot of ice! Wonder if some of it 'melted' on the way to the bonded storage facility...

Wonder when the crackdown on corruption will happen...🤪

This isn't a big surprise. No way I can balance these figures as I have no access to facts (obviously), but if the military is spending a lot on DEI, over-priced contracts and supporting Europe then cutting this may go some way to meeting Hegseth's target. There might also be too many Generals, layers of bureaucracy, bases in countries/regions that no longer need them and many other places other than Europe where the US is spending military money when they maybe shouldn't be.

So, all buses in a single location. AKA, all eggs in one basket. One minor accident the whole place grinds to a halt, with no Plan B. Great.

Wonder what address will be on the arrest warrant? Will probably be Thanida's... 😂

JD is right. Europe's been taking the US for granted, and they've been called out now. One thing I haven't seen as yet is Trump/Vance offering to keep supporting Europe's defence as part of a commercial agreement. Not sure what the Agreement would be called though. Perhaps 'Lend-Lease'?

I reckon AI will get much, much better when Skynet starts to develop some of their national security and weapon systems tools.

I already said I get your point. She already knows how to look after herself and judge a situation, and is aware of the possibility of drink spiking. And she's a pretty decent MMA fighter, so good luck to anyone who tries something unwanted. Before, during or after the fact. Someone tried to rob her a couple of years ago in the USA, she put him in a choke hold till the cops arrived.

Yeah, every girl who drinks with a guy should expect to get raped or sexually assaulted (if indeed that's what happened). I don't understand this thinking, but I get your point about what a father would say. I've managed to drink with quite a few women over the years, and no non-consensual activities have ever happened.

Guess she wanted screwed at her bar job (literally), but got screwed in a different way at this 'job'.

Shirt duly lifted, fudge duly packed. 😂

Absolutely. I went to San Diego a few years ago and it rained. I slowed down, left a bigger distance to the vehicles in front, and saw the aftermath of about 20 accidents because everyone was driving at their normal speed, and then were unable to slow down fast enough to avoid the inevitable rear-enders. Same stoopid 💩 happens all over the world. But I agree that too many Thais are unable to drive in good conditions, let alone poor.

Exactly. I wonder if there's an element of not wanting to find and treat the issue effectively when so much money is being made. Far fetched? No. Exactly the same thing has happened to me. Twice in the last 18 months. Nothing as serious as this guy, but an absolute deliberate effort not to diagnose the root cause of a condition to try to extend treatments that were not working, all for a profit.

So, the far right doesn't like free speech? Pathetic. But it does make me laugh. Some western media hammers some asian countries about their free speech laws, whilst some western countries hammer individuals when they speak freely. If me saying this might get me into trouble, then can I claim my name's Bob?

That's a massive over-estimation of the requirement. Another Biden-era screw up. Or was it...? I wonder who made the most money from this over-estimation? As for trashing them, it's a simple arithmetic calculation of the cost of storing them versus keeping them, bearing in mind they may have a shelf life and that nobody really cares about COVID any more.

Seems flu is worse this year than normal, but pollution is similar to normal? Maybe more construction than normal though, post pandemic recovery. The high Thai flu rate is even being reported in Vietnam media! https://baohaiduong.vn/en/so-ca-nhiem-cum-o-thai-lan-tang-hon-10-lan-trong-vong-2-tuan-qua-9-ca-tu-vong-405385.html
