Hes had to go out of his way to undo the damage Biden did in 2023-2024, 6 months to fix years worth of damage. Your opinion like other lefties is worth that of used toilet paper

Riiiiiiight. Nice try! Right back at ya! 😂😂😂😂😂

Yep. Saying he would end the war in Ukraine in a day, no person in the world believed it. Thing is people like you refuse to see or refuse to  acknowledge what he has achieved.

He’s achieved NOTHING! He’s the worst president they ever had. He’s a bully and a gasbag and thats all he’ll ever amount to. And the things you think he achieved are all detrimental to the US or their already f.cked up reputation.

Praising him is like saying, but Pablo Escobar built hospitals!

Sure. Trump's been saying he wants NATO to pay more. NATO agrees after months of pressure from Trump but this has nothing to do with Trump. You must realize how ridiculous this is. As I've said on several occasions Trump could end all wars, end all poverty and eradicate all disease and people like you with Trump living rent free 24/7 in your heads would still find something to cimplain about. It's quite simply juvenile.

Like he ended the Russian invasion with just one phone call? Trump is a delusional, psychotic gasbag, always has been, always will be!

Woke gay media support declined when they targeted children and young adults with gender correction. 

Well, that's so not how it works! "Gender corecction" is quite complex an issue and it's nowhere nearly as black and white as you might think. There's also a legitimate reason why they tried to raise this issue with kids because the younger kids are, the easier you can get them to accept things because they're too young to have an opiniom about it. So, if you teach kids at a young age that there are transgender people and that they're nothing to be made fun of, they'll just grow up beside them and it's gonna be a normal thing. That way you can eliminate a large part of the discrimination and ridicule they're experiencing now in the west. It should be like it is in Thailand, where anyone can be whatever they want and no one gives a flying f.ck about it! 

Having said that, and this goes for all minorities, if you become militant about YOUR issues and try to shove them down everyone's throat any chance you get, don't be surprised if this results in a knee-jerk reaction and diminishing support by the general public!!!

Well, robberies take place in the US on a daily basis. Sounds like this perp has something against Asian women, which would make this morw or less an isolated case. Since they have the a-hole now, I'm assuming that this will stop now. 

This is so silly! First of all, prohibition doesn't work, no matter what it is. Secondly, the "new/old" regulations implemented now will not cause less alcohol to be consumed either because people will just buy in bulk beforehand and then drink at whatever time they want!!!!! 

Well, Republicans have crossed the line by voting in a delusional, psychotic, criminal, tax-evading, narcissistic gasbag, who ran every company he's ever owned inro the ground and without the money you inherited from your father's hotel empire you'd be NOTHING! 

The only good news is that you can't run again after this term!

Defendant would only take the stand, if he/she and or lawyers thought they were going to lose.   Obviously that's not the case.

I don’t know man, sounds very much like he’s guilty to me and I’d be very surprised, if he’d get off the hook. There’s too many people coming out with accusations for this to not be true. If it had been only a few people, but it’s hundreds. And yes, there’s probably quite a few amongst them who are just trying to cash in no doubt about that. 
 

Wait and see, I guess.

You gotta admit, this is a good thing, how the government allowed it in the first place is unbelievable. You only have to walk, or if you dare to drive around the streets of Pattaya/Jomtien to see the amount of spaced out ganga cadets and the destruction of quality of life they have caused to residents and tourists. Top marks for this legislation 👍 

Tell me you know nothing about this subject matter without telling me! 

So he's "pleading the 5th" because testifying would open him up to cross examination and he doesn't want that because then he'd actually have to plead the 5th. Obviously a shady move on his part.

OP can't seem to find ground coffee than he/she likes, so buying the beans of the same won't help. 

 

Could buy green beans & roast them to his/her preferred darkness.   We tried that, and we're too impatient and can't be bothered.   Since he/she buying ground coffee, speaks volumes of not caring even if his/her coffee is fresh ground.   A bit telling in itself 

From what I've understood they can't find ground coffee of the beans they want, but hey....

Anutin has been pushed out so now the Govt can do what needs to be done. Whilst Expats and Tourists will be able to get around the medical requirements for usage, they will no longer be able to walk down the street smoking it, nor in bars and clubs. Most of the locals will no longer be able to easily access it though, and that is a big plus.  Those Ex[pats whop own/run a cannabis shop better start getting prepared and make sure you are fully licenced etc. and when it it 'controlled' again, do not sell any to anyone without a medical certificate/letter. The number one way the Thai police will nail illegal selling, is by pretending to be a buyer. 

If tourists can find a way around it then the locals will definitely cind a way. All this does is reopen the black market, it-s that simple!

Just buy a coffee grinder and grind the beans yourself.

After the 3 years of legal weed in Thailand, we can see that weed is still a very niche product. Not many people are using it. Many weed shops stay empty all day and  probably survive only because of the few regular customers.

 

Why is it so? Why do most people not smoke weed? Why are most people absolutely okay with alcohol, but not weed?

Because alcohol has been an accepted social "lubricant" for centuries, while weed has been villanized as a drug amd most people don't want anything to do with drugs. You could also argue that one can drink alcohol without getting drunk, while this is not possible with weed or any drug for that matter, unless you're into micro-dosing. Having said that, I prefer being high over being drunk by a mile! 

Putin is sooooooo delusional!

Thing is, you said this:

"I’m sorry, but I find it hard to believe that “only” 200 squats will cause that."

 

Yes, so? I'm entitled to my opinion and you're entitled to disagree.  We're going in circles. I stand by what I've posted and that's the end of this discussion for me.

No, I won't, but neither will you! I hope this will get you through the night!

I'm paying for all the squats I did heavy from age 17 until around 56. Never listened to the older gym men who told me it would come back and get me later. Hurt my knees and hips and also shoulders with the heavy benches and presses. Live and learn. 

Look at Ronnie Coleman. He went real heavy all the time and is massively paying the price. He’s a wreck. His spine is fused more or less completely, double hip replacement, copious amounts of pain killers on a daily basis, etc. The human body is just not meant to carry weight that heavy! There’s also certain exercises that will wreck you, like the machine leg press for example, that one is poison for your lower discs.

Great.

Do 200 today and let us know how it goes.

Back in the day I bought Arnold’s bodybuilding Bible and then went down to the fitness center to work out for the first time in ages. I used his beginner training plan that’s mentioned in the book and used the recommended weight and did a full workout. Following that I’ve spent the 4 most excruciating weeks of my life. My arms were locked and my legs barely worked. Turning around in my sleep used to wake me up for the first 2 weeks because of the pain. Needless to say my muscles were f.cked! But I didn’t sustain any liver damage and I think it’s safe to say that more of my muscles were wrecked that that of this student because I trained my arms as well that day. But then again, just because it didn’t happen to me, doesn’t mean it can’t happen to someone else. 

For the legs I did 5 sets of 15 repetitions, but I used 20 kilos of weight plus the weight of the bar, which was at least another 10 kg, which all together was almost half my body weight back then. So, I have a pretty good idea what 200 squats must feel like!

As I did with very heavy weights, and high reps, but in my prime, I never did more than 40 reps in one set, usually 1 to 20, and when you finish a set of that many reps, you are feeling it. No one can do 200 reps without damage, even young, as this isn't the only incident in Thailand where a teacher make a student pay by doing squats or squat thrusts. They pass the students even if they fail here so this is uncalled for in any instance. Fire the dickhead and make sure he's blacklisted. 

There will definitely be damage after 200 squats, absolutely no doubt about that. But, I highly doubt, that the student was able to do 200 in a row with no breaks in between. That’s pretty much impossible. Will 200 really result in liver damage? I’m not saying it’s impossible, but 200 squats seems too low a number.

Interesting time discrepancy in the story. 

The lead paragraph states he fell overboard around 0245 am Sunday morning.  Following paragraph says police were notified at 10:40am, same day of the incident, 8 hours after his reported fall overboard.   

How is the time of his fall overboard at 0245 known unless it was witnessed and if witnessed, why 8 hour gap in time before being reported to authorities?

Good question. Maybe they have cameras onboard who recorded him falling in., or maybe forensics came to the conclusion that he must have been in the water for a specific amount of time, or maybe someone aboard heard a splash at around that time….

Well, first of all, don’t run from the cops,. Secondly, wear a helmet, then your head won’t bruise when you get kicked off the bike by the cops while trying to flee from them! Duh! 

Screw you! How about that?!
