  1. This is a funding trade. We'll move Noem out of DHS and you (democrats) agree to fund another 10,000,000 deporations.
  2. You forgot to bring the Starbucks cups. If you don't know what I mean, you have some training to do grasshopper.
  3. I'm not sure it is all that easy to compare. Do you think people in the West in the West are routinely targeted for their watches or jewelry? I don't think I know anyone ever who had their watch stolen off their arm in a hold up in Europe or USA or even heard about that. I have however in Thailand seen a few times a westerner get the crap beat out of them by the local Motorsi mafia. Normally I think they deserved it, but the beating was merciless, like a jail beating, but in public. Plenty of kicks to the head while they were on the ground. I think too often we don't know what we don't know. We assume things are fine, because nothing happened to us. How many times have intl clients been told in Thailand it is find to do 30-30-30 leases, or buy house in a company name. It's all fun and games until the crackdowns begin. Just because you walked down a dark ally and still have your $5000Baht Chain or $100,000 Piaget and you survived, doesn't mean the next guy doesn't have it all stolen by a ladyboy and then a heel stabbed in the side of his head.
  4. Keep a pair of sissors in a holster on the side of the toilet like a great Korean waitress. Cut those giant turds into bite size pieces. Hopefully that works, but if not try the car wash method with the bum gun/fire hose. 3rd option is to make smaller turds.
  5. #1. They should give you a written estimate of the expected charges. #2. They will likely require you to pay that amount upfront, no deposit and settle up at the end. #3. Upon discharge they will bill you for any extra amount you pay before you leave, by cash or card or QR code. #4. When you are ready to leave make sure to give them a few hours to prepare the final bill, maybe day before if you want a chance to review and not be waiting to leave while they take a couple of hours to prepare it....some chance they can't do it on demand in your room, while you wait.
  6. I try to not put myself in situations where I need to carrry, but occasionally need to do so in certain circumstances. When I do, Glock 19. We can open carry where I live, but very few people do so. Seems like mostly PIs amateurs who think they need to show force...same guy probably wearing fake Rolex. Every now and then I will see open carry, and I think people just forgot they have it on the hip or forgot a jacket. If I was going to open carry, I'd just get the Dirty Harry Chrome Plated 44. Maybe one for each hip. I know a fair amount of women carry in purse S&W type bodyguards...I think those are .45or 380. Never fired one or seen one fired, so not sure how they handle.
  7. I think it is not always the airline's decision, but the insurance maker decision or airframe owner decision. You can check TG flights on someplace like flightaware to track routes and progress. https://www.flightaware.com/live/fleet/THA
  8. Where is the snowflake emoji? I can't find it.
  9. Best way to launder money now. Bank accounts not safe in Thailand for scammers, and with the giant US and UK confiscations of BTC and crypto, everyone moving to gold. The trick now will be how to transport the gold to another country.
  10. But in Oz I thought everyone in the bar was wasted. How do the bartenders serve anyone? Probably should move to self serve tap on the wall.
  11. This guy needs to get more creative. Plenty of opportunity to become the "non-attorney" spokesperson for a big time divorce lawyer. or a camera/phone company advertising those time you don't want your picture captured. Could get a blue pill endorsement....maybe with some reference to cold play... Don't get caught in public......instead Coldplay our online casino at ...777.com. Road manager for a band. Plenty of other opportunities....just have to Coldplay it right.
  12. That's a bargain. Pay it. USA following Thailand's lead on this. Entrance fee to national parks will have have 2 tier pricing structure next year. Starting January 1, 2026, foreign tourists will pay an extra $100 per person at 11 major U.S. National Parks (like Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Yellowstone) on top of regular entry fees, as part of new "America-first" policies to fund park maintenance. A new $250 non-resident annual pass (America the Beautiful Pass) will be available, waiving the $100 fee, while fee-free days become exclusive to U.S. citizens/residents.
  13. I don't see how they can recover. They are on the wrong side of almost every issue. I think it started with Obama, George Floyd, BLM, immigration, abortion, free speech, no bail, no prosecution, targeting the right, shoutdowns in restaurants, Obamacare, proping up Pelosi and Schiff, Hilary destroying evidence, Jan 6th committee destroying evidence, trying to keep Trump off the ballot, and and on and on.....I don't know if this was Trump's grand plan, someone elses grand plan, or he just is lucky at every turn. It's so amazing, I feel sorry for the dems who just keep getting beat at every corner. It must be tiring and disappointing. It's like they're playing softball and ARod is up to bat.
  14. There is a reason we call it the Shumer Shutdown. Nancy is so mad he put the brakes on her money making schemes she quit before she got fired. Good excuse for Trump to reduce some of the employee bloat. Send them home and don't let them come back. No one will miss many of the federal workers. BYE. The US federal government cannot continue to borrow to fund healthcare.
