I haven't stayed in a Bkk hotel room for that price since the 90s, and it was a dump even that long ago. You can eat chicken feet, but I'm not that desperate. 13 baht is third class and I don't go third class Bangkok to Chiang Mai, or Surat Thani. You'd have to pay me to stay in Hua Hin. Did I say I wasn't interested in visiting Thailand? Here's a suggestion, go bother someone else with your pointless baiting. It's just boring

It's a new one on me, and even google comes up with a load of irrelevant stuff. I can guess it stands for brigade, which would be in context, but I have no idea why the (-), unless it stands for less than a brigade. Seems the UK's military is going in harms way, gutted by the politicians. It's the conscripts that will suffer when the next big one starts.

5 years for a salute seems excessive. Real criminals get less that that. Hopefully when Trump gets elected he'll pardon all convicted over that incident.

Read the constitution.

That has to be 2 of the worst options in the history of the USA. Vote for a guy with cottage cheese where his brain used to be Vote for the most unpleasant woman since HRC to stand for POTUS. I thought they already said it's going to be a closed convention. That would be the safest option, but also the most cowardly, IMO. If they do hold a closed convention it means IMO that they are devoid of anything positive to offer, and are just trying to make it look like they are not already done as a party. If it's closed, the advertising rate isn't going to be high, as only Dem fanatics will bother watching, IMO.

Perhaps, but Harris would be worse. If she wins, IMO it's over for the west as a civilisation. You should get your eyes tested as you see things that are not there.

You are IMO wrong. Even back then they recognised that some states would have larger populations and dictate the election. Just California and the East coast states, lefties all, would probably win a popular vote. Hooray for the electoral college levelling the election.

I'll be cheering if you are wrong and very PO if you are right.

IMO worse than a fanatic.

Thanks for the comedy post. I needed a laugh. All of this makes him perhaps the most dangerous man in the world. Remind us who supports a war that could go nuclear and who doesn't. All of this makes him perhaps the most dangerous man in the world. Remind us who supports a war likely to expand to engulf the Middle East.

If I could afford to live in Thailand: Yes- it's way cheaper than NZ. Don't have to have a car. Can afford a far better life style on the same money. Because Thailand is far more interesting and enjoyable, with way more opportunities for travel- bus and train are very cheap, and hotels are affordable. I could never live on a beach in NZ like I can in LOS. Thailand is worth it.

You apparently have no conception that other people may have lost their money because they married the wrong woman, or for any of a hundred different reasons. You didn't put the cost of insurance on your little list. An hotel for 400 baht wouldn't be worth staying in 30 baht for a meal- what alternate Thailand do you live in? Train for 13 baht. Stop wasting my time.

The question for that is where does consciousness originate? Nothing comes from nothing, so consciousness can not come from nothing. It's simple for those that believe in a higher power, whatever one's name for that higher power. How do those that don't believe in consciousness outside this existence explain it? Where does it come from?

I've never considered you to be an idiot previously, but responses like that may cause me to change my mind.

Those thinking that condoms are a bad idea, better hope they don't get a variety of an STD that is immune to antibiotics

Your mouth or fingers don't work?

Thank goodness the airport didn't get built.

It'll only last a while till they change their minds about it, IMO.

As reported on Al Jazeera this morning, Biden is not withdrawing, but is planning more campaigning.

Thanks for that. Given I didn't even know that crowdstrike existed till yesterday, I didn't install it. The only thing I added to my computer is antivirus and Firefox. Thank goodness computers are not running my personal life, so if they melt down entirely I won't be affected, and I have cash- don't use electronic money. Just hope I don't get sick as hospitals are completely computerised, even X ray. Was there ever a society as stupid as ours, that they have so completely put everything under the control of companies like MS?

I don't know if it's true, but I hope they get destroyed by lawsuits.

Unfortunately just about everything is "smart" to some extent now. It's a cancer that will lead to problems in the future.

I'd love to have seen that. I've been saying for years that depending on computers is a mug's game, but the sheeple love it. IMO a few more events like this are necessary to prevent the impending cashless society.

Given israel's many assaults in Lebanon, I doubt they have a problem finding Lebanese recruits wanting to kill israelis, but for sure they are supported by Iran.

Just seen on Al Jazeera- the Houthies had a successful drone attack on Tel Aviv and the israelis bomb a refinery in Yemen. Looks like the war is expanding, despite Biden's stated desire for it not to escalate.
