  1. 1970 Dodge Challenger RT convertible. 383 magnum.
  2. You don't seem to avoid the pathetic insults when it's about Biden or the Dems.
  3. Where's all the whiners that say motorcycles are dangerous and no one should be driving them? I would expect the same nonsense about cars when someone dies in a car accident.
  4. Stop whining. Canada passport renewal is $160 CDN, about the same cost.
  5. The biggest threat to Europe is Viktor Orban and the other ultra right losers that are pursuing the same ultra conservative autocratic policies. Notice how I didn't mention Trump? I probably should have.
  6. Increase the limit on your credit card. Then it really doesn't matter if it takes an extra week to get the refund as you've got the “room“ on the card for other purchases. And if you're concerned that the charge will be there when you get your monthly statement, it's irrelevant as the refund will be there before your payment is due.
  7. Fly EVA, not China. Much better service IMO and I've flown both many times. And spring for premium economy if you can.
  8. They have celebrities on the right? Maybe some inbred country and western singers. Or old and senile actors like Clint Eastwood.
  9. Your arrival time will fix the seat not reclining? Wow. I had no idea.
  10. That's pretty much standard “tour tourism“ and it goes on all over the world. Vietnam is the worst that I've seen. We did a couple of month self directed tour a number of years ago while traveling from HCMC to the northern border where we entered China. We'd stop and stay until we were bored with the location and then move on to the next spot. We were enjoying Da Nang and stayed there almost a week. After the second or third day the locals were asking us why we hadn't moved on yet. They said none of the tourists stayed more than 2 days as that's when their “tour“ would move on. I'm sure glad I can make my own decisions and don't need some money grubbing tour guide to tell me what I should be doing.
  11. Only has himself to blame. Why fly Thai Airways when there's many better airlines to use, EVA for example.
  12. Performance looks similar. I wouldn't be concerned with the “since inception“ low number as it looks like it was started at the top of the dot-com bubble. Also be aware that, if the instrument is not in a retirement fund, switching would be a taxable event. The only taxes I have paid in the 40+ years in vfiax is on the dividends. As it's mostly all profit at this point, it will be taxed when I sell. That's something most don't consider when trading/investing. All the money they've paid in taxes, in my case, has continued to benefit me, not the government.
  13. What a load of nonsense you spout. The smart people who own mutual funds are buy and hold. The people that treat them as investments that are bought and sold often are just the fools the investment advisors are looking for. Here's a fund I've been in for a long time. The expense ratio is 0.04%.
  14. My post said I averaged over 10% a year for over 40 years. Some years up 30%, other years down 30%. But the 40+ year average is over 10%. You clearly shouldn't be investing or commenting on investing if you don't know what average means.
  15. The mutual funds I buy in Canada and the US are highly regulated. And all of them pay management 0.5% or less. The largest fund I own charges 0.05% yearly fees. Averaging over 10% return for over 40 years, not including dividends. I can live with that. I can't see why anyone would use one of those investment advisors. Rip off c*nts.
  16. Clearly incorrect. By your logic, the ones with those disgusting fake breasts would have had small breasts, so they would have a high IQ. Clearly incorrect. You'd have to qualify your argument so that only low IQ women would get fake breasts.
  17. There's an inverse relationship between a man's IQ and the breast size he prefers. I, of course, prefer small breasts. And detest any fake ones.
  18. I paid 500 for a filling 2 months ago in Pattaya.
  19. This just in: Trump's appeal of the 83.3 million dollar judgement has been rejected. Kind of got lost amongst all the other Trump legal matters. I wonder if he's tired of all the winning yet. https://www.axios.com/2024/04/25/trumps-appeal-e-jean-carroll-rejected
