Why not send him an email and ask him?

That would be a wrong assumption but the choice is yours, You seem to assume that many more people agree with you than disagree with you, which is also not correct.

But the topic is about Quote from the OP, "EU moves towards using €27bn in profit from frozen Russian assets for Ukraine", and NOT about corruption in the Ukraine. Further quote from you 'We, as if you didn't know, is myself and anyone that agrees with me'. And "we' is NOT an all encompassing everybody, but only you and those that agree with you, which not the same thing at all.

If you mention the Ukraine and the frozen Russian assets, how is mentioning Russia a deflection? Actually I don't know who "we" is. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/we plural in construction 1 : I and the rest of a group that includes me : you and I : you and I and another or others : I and another or others not including you —used as pronoun of the first person plural "we" in this case certainly NOT include me or possibly millions of other posters. It would include you. but not necessarily any one else.

And Russia of course, is pure and innocent and has no corruption. BTW who is "we"?

It does, IF you trust any news report coming from inside Russia, and disbelieve everything said by the rest of the world. I also does, IF you believe in anything that Putin says.

And you know this how exactly? Have you died and come back again? If that is what she believes then good for her. At least she has something that she can believe in. Have you? I try never to mock or disbelieve anybody's unless they are trying to ram it down my throat. Just because you don't believe in reincarnation doesn't make you right or her wrong simply because she has faith and believes in it. It is HER choice to make, and not yours to make for her.

I have 2 fridge freezers and now only 1 freezer that are running 24/7. There are always fans on 24/7. 2 are wall mounted near my computer desk and are on low until lunchtime. medium until about 4 pm and on high until about 11 pm. According to my little weather station it is 32C indoors and 33.7c outside. At night they go off and I turn on the fan in the bedroom to max and run the a/c for about an hour to cool me down. The water from the shower comes from my storage ongs which are surface mounted outside and the water is warm to hot by lunchtime and my showers are just above lukewarm, but only once a day as there is a shortage of water here in rural Kamphaeng Phet. I have a 200 litre barrel of water in the shower, but even that is not cold anymore.

They will all leave with bulging pockets, even though between them they have managed to leave a company with its reputation in shreds. Bean counters are great when you need beans counted, but they should NEVER be the ones in control of ANY engineering company. No engineering company was ever built up by bean counters, but by engineers who choose quality over quantity and cheapness. Hopefully it is not too late for Boeing to survive this made in house crisis, but only if the beanies are locked up under tight control. If you pare costs to the bone , you have no slack to cut. If you want cheap, you can get that easily. If you want quality, that costs more but it is worth it.

As will quite a few posters here on ANN.

Easily in April. Air conditioning, fridge, fridge freezers, freezers, lights, fans. 2 or 3 showers a day, computers TV, security lights etc. A teenage son who has no idea whay an OFF switch looks like or does, doesn't help either. My highest bill in the 20 years I have been living here was April 2023 when it reached 7,183 thb. My lowest for the last 8 years was December 2023 at 2,700 thb. My son has been in Chiang Rai Uni since May last year. One of the lessons he is learning is how to cope with the cost of living. (I hope).

Was Rowdy Yates from Rawhide herding them?

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68652380 Russia has charged four men it says attacked a Moscow concert hall and killed at least 137 people. All four appeared to have been beaten and one was brought to court in a wheelchair. They were charged with committing an act of terrorism. Russian officials have claimed, without evidence, Ukrainian involvement. Kyiv says the claim is "absurd". Videos of brutal interrogation sessions were apparently leaked by Russian security forces, and reports suggest at least one had suffered electric shocks. Asked about the alleged torture, Mr Peskov refused to comment. The men the court identified as Mirzoyev and Rachabalizoda had black eyes and the latter's ear was heavily bandaged - reportedly from it being partially severed during his arrest. The men were identified as citizens of Tajikistan, Russia's state news agency Tass said.

It is hard to take care of yourself, let along a young child as well, when you have NO job and NO money. If you cannot trust your friends, who can you trust? You ask here on AAN where is the husband? How would any poster on ANN know, unless they know the lady and her child personally? I suppose that would be a rhetorical question. Try not to be so quick to come to a conclusion without knowing most or all of the facts.

And good for Yu for doing so. At least she has faith to sustain her, which is more than many posters here have. Buddha would be impressed and proud of her. I, also am impressed and proud of her. She has chosen a hard path to follow over the years, yet she is still willing to forgive and carry on down the same path' her reward will come in her next life, as will his.

In fact Prayuth even got a promotion to the Privy Council. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-11-30/thai-king-appoints-former-pm-prayuth-to-his-elite-privy-council?embedded-checkout=true https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/thailands-ex-pm-prayut-appointed-privy-council-member https://www.pattayamail.com/thailandnews/gen-prayut-officially-joins-privy-council-446932 Also in the Straits Times and the Bangkok Post.

What actual, or alleged crime have they committed?

Why should they be kicked out of the political party?

Did you forget to mention sequestering all the un-elected senators financial records to see what their sources of income are as well, or are you simply biased against Thaksin?

And then he can come and do mine, bringing all his own gear as I don't want him wrecking mine. It is full of stones, rocks, bits of dead trees, slopes etc.

I am reading an Ebook by Sam Barone called 'Conflict of Empires'. It is based on an area similar to Mesopotamia around (I think) somewhere between 600 and 1,000 AD, about tribal warfare and the building of an empire. It is fiction and I have a problem putting it down.

I understand that. If Thais want to remove the safety equipment it is up to them. The guy who does my tatya work does not remove any of the safety equipment. Thank you for responding to his post. He is on my ignore list and I would never have seen the post otherwise.

Only stupid people, like you, take the safety guards off. The guards are there for a specific reason and it is called SAFETY. The rest of your post is simply BS.

Every smart person leaves the guards on as they understand the concept of safety. In the users manual it tells you about the safety equipment and recommends that you keep the guards on. I can't remember how many stone guards I have replaced because that have been split or holed by stones.

I have been using brush cutters for 15 years or more now, both 2 stroke and 4 stroke. I would never use a 2 stroke any more as they are messy, unreliable and often a PITA to start. IMHO, of the 4 strokes, Honda is the best every time, spares both genuine and copies are easy to get in most villages and there are usually several good repair shops as well. As for blades, I normally use the double ended blade, on the left of your photo, either 14 or 16 inches long. They are what you need for long grass, scrub and small trees. For the concrete edges, rocks, base of trees, blue plastic pipe etc, I use 3 mm/sq nylon. Every day when I finish work, I wash all the dirt, dust, mud, grass etc from the machine, remove the blade (if I am using one) and sharpen it on both sides with a bench or angle grinder. If I am using nylon I generally cut it to a 60 cm length, and put 2 pieces in a cross shape on the disk. You will see when they wear down so just replace them. In the photo I have drilled and pop riveted the disk, as after a while they tend to open up and the cable is no longer at 90 degrees. the disks are about 80 or 90 thb at a hardware shop. The nylon is about 250 thb. I use the blade when the grass and scrub is long, wet or think. The nylon works best on long dry grass, short wet or dry grass and around the edges of trees and concrete. Remember to check the sump oil every day until you know how much it uses, and grease the head once a week. That way your brush cutter will last many years. For protective wear you will be best with knee length Wellington rubber boots with a steel sole and toecap, knee length thick socks, football or Scout leader socks are OK, thick trousers or jeans to give some protection from flying stones, gauntlets that cover your wrists, a Thai style balaclava to protect your face, safety glasses or goggles and depending on the time of day, I also wear a leather cowboy hat to keep the sun out of my eyes and give some semblance of shade. At 79 I may look stupid wearing that but it is better than being covered in plasters. On a good day now I can manage about an hours working. 10 years ago 2 hours was no big problem and 20 years ago 3 hours was easy.
