Catalytic converters have been mandatory in Thailand for many years.

Thanks , I didn't know.

They are expensive and need to be replaced after a number of years.

Maybe not in Thailand.

Well , it's the UK , so stabbing porn will still be ok.

Why wouldn't Xi lie, for strategic reasons, to the man proven to be a pathological liar himself and gullible to others?

Xi said he wouldnt do anything while the great Peacemaker is in office. Why would he lie?

 

Trump has already moved much of the navy to the new world hotspot in the Carribean, leaving Taiwan more vunerable. 

 

That's right.

Better should be that Xi said : As soon as Trump strikes Venezuela , China will invade Taiwan.

Another attack by a "colored" one.

Her mistake is living in Oakland.

Ok , but Red Bull gives me wings and is for women too.

If it were my cat/kitten , I would have killed the snake.

He was an officer and probably had a gun ....

Are the new diesel engines in Thailand with a catalytic converter ?

Looking at the car websites I see no mention.

I'm more interested in the structures they recenty found under the piramids.

But casino's in China's little buddy Cambodia are ok ....

He doesn't want to much competition for Macau (and HK) ?

A list released last month by the White House of more than three dozen donors omitted donation amounts, as well as the names of several individuals and companies that collectively have billions of dollars riding on the outcome of administration policy decisions...

Among the donors not disclosed by the White House are a pair of health care companies seeking to protect or expand Medicare reimbursement for their products, as well as the Wall Street powerhouse BlackRock, whose bid to acquire a stake in Panama Canal ports has been supported by Mr. Trump amid opposition from China. Another is Jeff Yass, a major investor in TikTok’s parent company who could benefit from a Trump-backed deal to keep the social media app up and running in the United States.

The White House. Where the sleaziness never stops.

I'm sure your avatar pic (Soros) will not be on that list.

to conceal the "donors" .

I am 81 and I am having a lot of problems with my Acer AIO Aspire and MS probably with Windows 10.

 

MS keeps telling me to upgrade to Win 11 and my Acer pc keeps telling me that the hardware for Win 11 is not there 

 

I am considering a new pc and using Kubuntu from Linux instead of MS Win 11.

 

My friend has just bought a new laptop with Win 11 as the factory option and he is having a lot of problems.

 

I am coming away fro MS Office and I now use Libre office instead.

What kind of problems with the Acer  and w10?

You can keep using W10 even after MS stopped updates.

I used XP till 2023 !

You don't need to update to W11 but if you really want , there are many

articles on the net how to , like :

https://www.zdnet.com/article/how-to-upgrade-your-incompatible-windows-10-pc-to-windows-11-2-free-options/

Linux is going to be (very) disappointing and do you as 81 year old want to deal with that ?

Your friend has trouble with a new laptop with W11 ... ?

Not W11's fault. W11 is far easier to get used to than linux.

So the manipulation that started oct 27th , will not be mentioned.

The 5 day break is not for all.

Many people will work those days or some of those days.

Supermarkets are always open.

Kamala Harris Explodes

If only that were true !

It was when they first had them in Thailand, at least 15 years ago.

 

And when they first introduced the parking ticket machines at Phuket airport, they had them on the passenger side!

You couldn't make this stupidity up!

I've been here 18 years , first 3 years touring around in all provinces. Never seen it though.

You know the most-retarded thing...

#1 when they first had digital timers on traffic lights, they counted UP!

#2 some around my way only start the countdown when there are 3 seconds left. This is the opposite of their intended purpose, which is to reduce stress and impatiance. How they should count is down, but stop displaying when they get to 10 seconds left. Because when theny count to zero, there are always a couple of Somchais who go on 3 or who race through a red.

Never ever seen an up counter.

Traffic light without the time countdown.

It is their choice to go work in Israel.

They are pretty naive to think abuse will not happen.

As living in squalor , that is here in Thailand too.

Retired and living in Thailand , every day of the year is a holiday.

Not that cheap :
