A day of chaos brings Twitter closer to the brink
thaibeachlovers replied to Scott's topic in World News
LOL. That says it all about people that use <deleted><deleted> sites like twitthing. Go on a social media web site to be told which way to vote -

I obviously don't know, but IMO he may be so PO about having to buy it he may just not care if it goes under. He's so rich it might be a tax write off. -
Why is the UK struggling more than other countries?

I needed my AC in Lamphun in the hot season, and I REALLY need my heater in NZ. In winter it's on 24/7 unless I go out. -
US midterm elections: What's happened to economy under Biden?
thaibeachlovers replied to Scott's topic in World News
My understanding is that mail voting convinced young voters to vote in large numbers and apparently they consider abortion to be birth control, rather than a last resort, so single issue voters. In the past, apparently young people didn't vote much in mid terms. IMO a bit sad that young people want to kill foetuses rather than use birth control. -

I visited the Saudi solar research project many years ago. They had to cool the solar panels as they got too hot in the Saudi temperatures. Re Biden, it just doesn't look good if one day he's saying Zero Carbon and the next he's asking Saudi to pump more oil. Terrible optics. What happens if the entire renewable energy project stops for any one of a dozen reasons? Is he then going to say "sorry, we got it wrong, keep driving petrol cars"? -

Does your solar run your AC? I'd like to go solar, but I could never run a heater off it, so not economical. -

Given inflation and prices are rising everywhere, there is IMO no advantage financially to move elsewhere. IMO the reason is otherwise and I'm not going to say it on here. -

some of us know, but are reluctant to post the reason on here. -
If one reads my posts prior to the election, the senate was always a toss up for the winner, but the real important one was always the house. They have the committees and the money. IMO the senate would have been good for the GOP to prevent Biden putting in SCOTUS members, but IMO it's unlikely any will need to be replaced in the next two years, so while goody for the Dems, in real terms not that big a deal. If the Dems do take the house, as they may do, that will be a problem for those of us that think Biden's agenda has to be stopped.

The dairy industry does not constitute the entirety of the primary industry sector. If she really wanted to reduce NZ's pollution levels, a good start would be bulldozing all of Auckland into the harbour and planting trees on it. -

What happened to the wave power that they were going to build some years back? It often isn't sunny in Britain but the waves never stop. -

When you no longer make much, there's not much to fall back on. The UK don't even make their own planes to put on those aircraft carriers. Considering they used to have an military aviation industry as good as the best in the world that is a rather large indictment of Britain, IMO. -
At least that's something I can say that I did accomplish, having nursed thousands of patients during my time in that job. Know lots of other nurses too. Unless, of course, helping people get better isn't worthwhile. I think farmers accomplish something, feeding people, and I know lots of them. IMO those that accomplish the least are lawyers and politicians followed by bureaucrats. Even second hand car salesmen provide a service people need.

Has the world gone woke or mad
thaibeachlovers replied to georgegeorgia's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Perhaps rich Manhattanites feel ashamed that they live a privileged life when there are so many poor people that live <deleted> lives in the streets below them. Despite the attempts of the woke to make all white men feel guilty for being born white, not only do I not feel guilty, but I scorn them, and the white people that do feel guilty. -
What could possibly go wrong with that? LOL.

I don't see anything by him as he's on ignore. I was pointing out that Biden is trying to support two opposed policies. Perhaps he shouldn't make statements about "zero carbon" if he going to grovel to the Saudis to increase oil production. I don't remember if I was complaining about him doing nothing to reduce inflation, but I don't think I did. Perhaps you can quote me on that. I mostly comment about him talking to dead people and falling over. -

Excellent news. I know someone that is probably laughing fit to bust about that. -
If you look up the history of AKB48 it does have some meaning as started with 48. It just got so popular that it expanded over the years. It's even got branches in other countries. Clever guy that saw the potential of idols to cater to the Otaku who never had a chance of a real girlfriend. Idol groups are HUGE in Japan and make multi millions of $. Perhaps the most "unusual" are the Love LIve concerts which are based on an anime about idol groups, which was based on real idol groups. Hugely popular and play to an audience of thousands all waving glow sticks. Plenty on U tube about them.

Shame they didn't take off in LOS. What's not to like? Closest in LOS are coyotes, but not nearly as good.

Some explanation is in order. What you wrote means nothing to to me.
