sirineou replied to snoop1130's topic in Isaan News
All reasonable rules IMO . It will not reduce death but would certainly make the less mysterious. -

There are two types as far as I know, The more modern ones have a steel ball ball in them with a hole in the middle to allow the water to flow through. When the hole is aligned with the pipe water flows. when the ball is turned 90 degrees by the handle the holle in the ball does not align with the pipe and water does not flow. It looks like you have one of the older multi turn valves. Turning the handle clockwise lowers a blunger that closes the space where the water flows. Counterclockwise retructs the piston and water flows. If you can cut the water to it from outside the house at the meter, Change the damn thing. !! they are nothing but trouble , a Ball valve is very inexpensive,and easy to operate

UK Considers Aircraft Carrier Deployment to Red Sea as Tensions Rise

Not an option. Israel is the third rail in American politics. Touch it and Die. Biden pays lip service for them to stop and then sends them billions. So no outside pressure. Israel has a demographics problem with the Orthodox jews birth rate at 6.5 as opposed with an overall birth rate of 2,0 , which seems high , but remove the Orthodox component and it's probably in the 1.? rate . so not only ate Orthodox jews driving Israeli politics now, but it is projected that in the next 10 years they will be a large component of the Israeli population. A Two State solution is not an option for them. The Israelis know it, Biden knows it, the Palestinians know it. So no internal pressure. The pressure would be to eliminate or degrade the Houthis . unless there is a third option I am not aware of. -

Asides from having the country that I love driven in the gutter, and my children's future compromised. His mishandling of the economy might compromise my private pension and SSI. If I get sick and have to go back , my health insurance not cover my condition. A sure thing , because looking at his face and listening to his whining voice for another 4 year is soor to make me sick.

I hope you warm up , and do a bit of stretching , before napping, You do not want to pull a muscle. Perhaps a bit of snoozing before napping might be a good idea.

Biden: "I am an elderly man ... I know what the hell I'm doing"
sirineou replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Bunk robbery is a crime committed by someone with intends take something that is is not his and keep it. Unless of course you are talking about a bank robber who robbed a bank robbed a bank by mistake , which could happen I guess, He could have walked into a bank and not wanting to waste time while waiting he decides to clean his gun, the girl at the window mistakenly thinks that he is robbing the bank and gives him a bag full of money. Later on he discovers that instead of the $12 he was withdrawing, he was given $27,523.00 very confused returns the balance to the bank. -

Yea and? -
That was me with the laughing emoji by the way. No disrespect to you . and I was not laughing at you, I just found it funny , abd what a waste of time it is getting involved in these subjects. I spend a considerable time in research advancing the proposition that Ukraine was invaded by the Russians because it would not romaine neutral, and when I ask , "what would happen if if it had remained neutral" I ge a it would had been invaded anyway.

Biden: "I am an elderly man ... I know what the hell I'm doing"

Under the Presidential Records Act, presidential records belong to the government and must be handed over to the National Archives and Records Administration at the end of a president's time in office. A claim of former president of executive power to prevent a current goverment from possessing documents that rightly belong to such government is idiotic, to say the least.Only a trump supporter would be stupid enough to think that such a defence would fly. And even if a former president had the right to deprive a current goverment from documents which he has not. , it does not absolve trump from the conspiracy, and obstruction charges, In the link below is a timeline concerning the classified documents. "After NARA realized that documents from Trump’s presidency seemed to be missing from the material that it received as he left office, the agency requested the records from Trump on or about May 6, 2021, " https://apnews.com/article/biden-donald-trump-mar-a-lago-subpoenas-b8082283fc599738c92d1f1ec8680924 The raid was August 8, 2022 -
Biden: "I am an elderly man ... I know what the hell I'm doing"

I agree, but you know he will play that card. But also the Republicans will get a viable candidate. IMO he is not a viable candidate. He lost last time under much better conditions for him. The only thing he has is Bidens age. Last time he was a sitting president, he had all the republicans and a larger percentage of the Independants. This time he is not president, he has all the indictments, lost some republicans and a smaller percentage of independents. If you cant afford to buy something when you had $10 how are you going to buy it with $7 , and remember, even then he lost the popular vote. I say let the electorate remove him. and we can close this sorted chapter of American politics, The republicans have a lot of good people. Liz Cheney, Romney, many others that even I would not be too disappointed to see win.Because All I want is to see a good person in the white house, and know they will do the right thing, Sure there will be differences in policy, but that's healthy in a Democracy. trump is a disease, -

Absolutely right, trump is not indicted for having in his possession classified document, after his term, such occurrences are common and when discovered are promptly returned. Mike pence was not indicted for possession of classified documents after his term.They were discovered , he returned them and that was the end of that. Same with Biden, They were discovered, he return them and that was the end of that . Trump is indicted for conspiracy to defraud the United States,conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights. If he had returned those documents when they were discovered missing it would had been the end of that story as it was with Pence and Biden. But he did not, He lied, obstructed, and conspired. These are all smoke screens my trump in a desperate attempt to get elected and stay out of jail . But though the idiots who support him are loud and, the american people are not that stupid for the most part. I truly hope the supreme court does not disqualified him, because Biden kicked trump ass when trump had the power of the presidency, what do you think he will do now? after all the drama , and indictments? If the supreme court disqualify trump he will claim that he would have won , and it was a witch hunt, bla bla bla . Let him run, Biden has all the democrats, some of the republicans and more of the independents than he had last time he kicked trump's ass, he will wipe the floor with the ridiculous trump haip mop. In addition if trump is disqualified the republicans might get a viable candidate that might give Biden a run for his money. . -
How do you think it would be if it remained neutral?

Warren Buffett is 93 years old. and he is running on of the most successful investment company no said when he turned 81 that he would need to step down. Are there challenges with getting older? sure there are but there is also wisdom and experience that could outweigh the negatives. There are things that as a president he has done that I don't like but those are matter of policy not because of his age. In the balance he has done a good job of running the country, and no drame. Unlike the other 77 year old idiot who cannot string together a coherent sentence., and thought that Covid would magically go away. -

Not going to waste my time reading 4 articles to see if you have a point. since I know he never said he will be a one term president. If you have a quote and a link please post it. but I briefly looked at your first link , The title says "Indicates" no where does it say that he said he will be a one term president. There is a quote by an campaign advisor says : "“He’s going into this thinking, ‘I want to find a running mate I can turn things over to after four years, but if that’s not possible or doesn’t happen then I’ll run for reelection.’ But he’s not going to publicly make a one-term pledge,” another adviser reportedly said.

Don't remember who, when we were talking about Japanese curry that he made it with pork meatballs. Who ever it was take a bow !! They say " Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" So today I thought I'll give it a try, But I used Beef, as I had some good Australian beef that I grinded myself. Made the meatballs and baked them in the airfryer first In a pot water, salt, pepper ,chopped onions m dill, and a few small tomatoes that I parboiled . removed the skin. and chopped them up. The put the meatballs in and boiled them together until the carrots were soft. My Thanks to whoever mentioned, It was a great idea.

Thank you for your kind words, It was more work than I thought it would be but it kept me busy for awhile . I learned a couple of things, and earned a couple of bragging points LOL Yea I did the same with my property in the US, Then I finally got tired getting repair bills that I did not even know if they were real, Sold a couple of years ago, Wish I had held on to it a couple of years more because property values went up significantly in the past two years . But I did well enough, I had to make a decision. where I wanted to be, and I wanted to be here. Trick is to be disciplined and not blow the proceeds on trinkets and beads. Anyway I gave 1/3 to my daughter and I bought safe treasury bonds. Last year I made 4.7% this year I parked them on a CD (FDIC secured) where I am making 5.2% , I could make more but there is a risk and at my age I cant afford that. I just came back from the US , crazy expensive everything ! except for health reasons I don't see myself ever moving back there. I have an option to move to Greece, so if things get crazy here, I'll do that. The US is just a place where I visit my daughter and friends, If it was not for them I would never see the place again. You have kids and they might have to go there for school and whatever, so that something else for you to consider. Here in Thailand try to keep busy, a sedentary life creates IMO a downward cycle , Where movement and being busy, gives you energy, dopamines in your brain make you feel better, and creates a condition that makes you want to do more . Remember at our age it is easy to lose it and hard to get it back. The trick is to keep busy. By the way, I forgot to mention the pool. No I don't have one. The community pool 10 min from my house os 20 baht. get up in the morning and go, you will find a bunch of other farangs there doing laps. My Australian friend down the block bought a motorbike and joined a farang bike croup, they go for rides all the time. If you like that, that's another option. .
