Being fed propaganda and misinformation by algorithms designed to target people’s emotions and emotional engagement is something else.

Lest we forget that we are participating on an AI🤔-generated forum.

Blinken raised concerns about the interference,

Yet another example of the US grasp of diplomacy.🤔

I.e. Go to another person's house and accuse them of interfering with your domestic problems.

My advice would be to give the cash to the mother and let her decide how best it could benefit the boy.

He's Thai he will grow up expecting money from Mum/Mom. Better he have his own money to learn how to be independent. 

Next, you will be raising some battery hens.

I don't think anything in life is easy. Except maybe falling off a log.

I read recently that printed news in the UK was mostly in the hands of only 6 organisations. TV news is hardly better. No democracy should accept that.

It is a democracy. If you wish you are free to start your own news service.

They allowed a golf course between two runways? Like inside the perimeter of the airport?

I suspect the golf course was there when it was a military airfield and before it was a commercial airport.🤔

Some of the bunkers may be WWII bomb craters.

Thanks but I don't need to do anything, I was just curious as to where the non-existent "Home" button was.  

On my keyboard next to the backspace key. What does "home" do?

Edit: Ah !, it goes to the top of the page. I usually use the mouse to go to the nearest "unread content"

Go get injured on a motorcycle on the way home from a bar at 03:00 with no helmet, license or insurance and the guys here will be falling over themselves to help set one up. 

It's what mates are for.🤔

It is obviously a daytime species so probably capable of carrying Dengue.

Only time will tell on this one because nobody knows their full intentions but they appear to be getting desperate for cash lately with all the recent changes to tax legislation? I can understand them wanting to clamp down on cheap imports but I think taxing everything imported including what may just be a simple present from a relative abroad is going a bit far?

Thailand is not alone with this problem. According to the Universal Postal Union the senders country gets the postal fee and the receiving country delivers the item for a lower fee. This worked fine in an era of reciprocal postal volumes but now is skewed in favour of China. 

VAT is not a duty so conforms with WTO. I say go ahead Thailand.

Is this a hyperthetical question,

Welcome to AN.😉

I watched the first episode of Monsieur Spade. It moves at my pace and being set in France the scenery is OK as well.

Only if your insurance covers the cost of car rental. You could sue the other party but I doubt that will get you anywhere. 

I'm thinking that if your insurance covers the cost of car rental the body shop will give you a "loaner" and add that to their bill to the insurance company.

I don't know if this is relevant to you but a semi can use a bit of engine braking.I have no idea of autos.

On autos you have to open the throttle a bit to have any engine braking, not advised to go down big hills unless you know what you're doing 

Both auto and semi-auto us a centrifugal clutch to pull away from a standstill. On both, this clutch will disengage below its threshold rpm. So the scoot needs a minimum speed to keep the clutch engaged when going downhill. Any difference between the speeds of the two types will be a difference in the lowest gear available. Auto have a slightly higher low gear than semi so will need to go a bit faster downhill to keep the clutch engaged. On my scooter above about 18 kph.

Rang them this morning, seems I have to courier the item at my expense to Samut Prakan, there is no official service centre in Pattaya. I was hoping that someone knew of a repair shop that serviced all brands, but I think for peace of mind it might be better to send to the dealership.

There is a Flash Express drop-off point on 3rd Road by the LK President hotel. They have wrapping material.

When you use a bush wacker you blip the throttle rather than just have it on full all the time. 

You have been living in Thailand/Asia too long.🤔
