That’s the problem with you. You arrogantly post all these painfully pedestrian music videos as if you’re some kind of musical messiah, enlightening the poor, clueless masses who have been desperately waiting for you to introduce them to new songs, yet they’ve already known of them for decades. Newsflash: so most people here have heard all of this before. I first owned that album over 40 years ago. Alas, congratulations, you’re only about half a century late. Keep up the groundbreaking work, Globs of Redundancy.

Serial pest in the house! So glad you are back. Everyone was getting so worried when you hadn’t cranked out your usual 200+ nauseating posts yet today. There was real concern that you might be slipping down a few notches on the serial spammer leaderboard. It would be a tragedy if you lost your well-earned number one pest spot. Some were even showing signs of verbal diarrhea withdrawal. But no need to panic, you’re here now, already flooding the place with your usual unmitigated stream of mind-numbing drivel. Bravo!

You do the math. But surely they should require a license for asking such buffoonerous questions.

Do you need a license to say such foolish things?

There have been already at least a dozen sizable aftershocks already. Not small ones and the last one was a couple of hours ago. None of them have been felt in Bangkok and who knows if they're being felt in Burma or not. Anyway, I don't think the location within Bangkok makes any difference. Risk is purely based on the construction of the building. For the aftershocks, you can follow the link below: https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map -
Sounds like the number of buildings in Bangkok is still growing and could reach over 1,000 to be inspected. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2990489/over-700-cases-of-bangkok-quake-damage-to-be-reviewed Over 700 cases of Bangkok quake damage to be reviewed The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) will inspect more than 700 cases of structural damage in the capital following a 7.7-magnitude earthquake in neighbouring Myanmar that sent shockwaves across Thailand on Friday, according to Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt. The governor said on Saturday that the BMA has received 2,000 reports of damage resulting from the quake. An initial review has prioritised these reports, with the most severe cases inspected first. "We will act immediately from today. Our Traffy Fondue system allows us to pinpoint GPS coordinates for initial inspections," Mr Chadchart said. "Volunteer engineers will conduct surveys without having to visit each site for basic screening." Bangkok deputy governor Wisanu Subsompon said a decision has been made with the department of public works that it will inspect government structures, while the BMA checks on reports submitted by citizens. Over 700 cases are set to be tackled within the day, with inspections conducted in order of severity, he added. City Hall announced on Friday that Bangkok has been declared a disaster area following the Myanmar earthquake, with the Bangkok governor in charge of coordinating the disaster response.

Does the U.S. Even Have Real Allies Anymore Under Trump 2.0?

That's comedy gold. Got me tearing. Brilliant. Needs more. 👍🏼😂 -
I completely agree. I can’t help but wonder if, his little hovel in Chiang Mai, had collapsed on top of him and he’d been trapped under the rubble for the past 48+ hours, barely clinging to life from dehydration, would he still be lying there, deliriously whispering “nice one” to himself as we speak? Sickening. 🙄

Are you acting impolite or not paying her enough or a incorrect amount? Perhaps she has good reason to say "krap". Just sayin.

I wonder how many condos might be affected and how many Bangkok condo owners could end up homeless with no way to secure alternative housing as a result of having lost their full investment. There was a video on Twitter of Park Origin Thonglor, a three-tower development with two sky bridges on high floors connecting the three buildings. Both bridges collapsed. The towers themselves appeared intact, but who really knows. That condo was also mentioned in the list of 30 problematic buildings that was sent to me, and that project is only four years old. In fact, five of the buildings on that list of thirty buildings were all built by the same developer as that project. Details: • Tower A - 39 floors, housing 375 units. • Tower B - 53 floors, containing 478 units. • Tower C - 59 floors, comprising 329 units. From what I read, unit prices range from 10-30 million Baht in that project with an average price of close to 300,000 Baht per square meter.

Somebody sent me a list of about 30 condos in Bangkok that’s circulating online right now, along with some text in Thai language stating that the list was compiled by individual residents of these buildings from posts on Twitter. The comments in Thai summarize reports from residents about earthquake damage to high rise buildings, with many expressing fear about returning due to structural concerns like cracked walls, damaged ceilings, and shaking buildings. Some condos have restricted access, only allowing residents to collect belongings, while others have reported significant damage, including structural cracks and even collapsed sections. The information comes from social media posts by residents and has not been officially verified by engineers or government authorities. In the text, residents of buildings are advised to check for damage themselves or contact property management for an inspection before re-entering affected buildings. I’m not going to post the list of buildings here since it hasn’t been independently verified and I don’t want to spread fear, but many of the buildings on the list appear relatively new, and some of the buildings were built by a few of the same developers. On the list, there was also mention of one of the high-end shopping malls in Central Bangkok being unsafe. I saw a government news report yesterday stating that it’s safe to return to buildings in Bangkok, but the information circulating suggests otherwise. I’m wondering if anyone else has come across circulation of a similar list or similar reports?

Why do people move to Thailand to discuss politics so much?
