  1. Likely what happened is someone was on the white House tour, and when they had to lock up their phone, as all have to, they noticed that they had forgotten to leave their cocaine in the hotel. So easier to discard it there than carry it and risk getting arrested. I hope my theory doesn't burst too many bubbles.
  2. We can go farther back than that. How about: Benghazi Clinton's email servers Fast and Furious Whitewater I'm sure there's more, anyone? What about the other way? Iran/Contra Nixon Iraq invasion, Etc. Get the point now? Republicans continually generate fake crisis's to get their base excited.
  3. You've likely got your fingers in the wrong place!
  4. Yeah, you're absolutely correct. I don't trust/believe the House GOP majority oversight committee either.

    From your verbage, it seems that you're paying COD. Stop. Pay with a qr code. Shopee won't pay the seller until you acknowledge receipt or a time period elapses. If you pay COD there's no recourse if it isn't as it's supposed to be. AliExpress works this way too. Lazada, i don't know.
  6. Is that the same as a wife beater? I go to Jomtien immigration regularly in cargo shorts, t-shirt and flip flops or slip ons. Never had a problem.
  7. That won't last long;
  8. You look to be a good candidate to relocate to Cambodia. All the drugs you need are available over the counter without prescriptions. Enjoy.
  9. Actually, if the average inflation rate in the G7 countries is 4.6%, and it's 7.9% in the UK, only the difference of 3.3% could be attributed to Brexit. So 3.3/7.9 is approx 42%.
  10. Never pay “cash“ to buy an airline ticket. Always use a credit card as you get so much more protection.
  11. LONDON — The U.K. is the only country among the Group of Seven wealthy nations where inflation is still rising, according to data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. The Paris-based organization said Tuesday that year-on-year inflation in the G7 fell to 4.6% in May, down from 5.4% in April, reaching its lowest level since Sept. 2021. The downward trend was observed across most advanced economies in May, with annualized inflation ticking lower in the U.S. Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan. Britain, however, was found to be an outlier. U.K. consumer prices across all items rose to 7.9% in May when compared to the previous year, the OECD said, up slightly from 7.8% in April. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/07/04/uk-is-now-the-only-major-economy-where-inflation-is-still-rising.html
  12. From Wikipedia: Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement,[1][2][3] characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation and race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.[2][3] so I don't understand your point. It actually looks like the right wingers are trying to steal another word that describes them and redefine it. Like fake news, etc.
  13. Please explain what you mean by “issues“. Is cloudflare blocking access? That happens to me a lot these days.
  14. Just don't pick the cheapo airlines/flights. Pretty much all the big ones offer this. I'd suggest doing a run on Expedia through to the point just before you enter the credit card. This is the page where it says cancelable for free within 24 hours. Do both a cheapo then a premiere airline to see the difference.
  15. What else are you paying them for? Are they there because they enjoy your company that much? So only the people that hire helpers get poisoned? Nobody that married a Thai gets poison in their coffee?
  16. How about just hiring someone to hang around, do the cleaning, laundry, cooking, etc. Don't like something about them or they develop unwanted traits, then fire them and get a replacement. No muss, no fuss.
  17. You expect somebody that has 50k tied up in his audio equipment to admit it was a waste of money? Test what frequencies you can hear and let us know how you did. https://www.echalk.co.uk/Science/biology/hearing/HowOldIsYourHearing/resource.html Then tell us if it's worth it.
  18. How old are you? As you age, the frequencies you can hear are greatly inhibited. We were listening to a test program on the internet and the younger gf could hear a much wider range. So the bottom line is that if you're not in your 20s or 30s you're probably wasting your money on all that high end stuff.
  19. Expedia provides the service I use. For many non-discount flights, they provide a 24 hour no fee cancellation policy. So I go to the airport a bit early. If they want an onward ticket, book one of the refundable ones and after getting to the gate, cancel it. Yes, there's a temporary hold on your credit card but who cares. The onwardticket fans, and it's always the same few, as this topic comes up quite often, always say the same thing. I think they must have financial interest in that company, as it's clearly not the best solution.
  20. Just block @gammaglobulin. Everyone else has.
  21. It's a window$ naming thing. For whatever reason, it can't display the proper name. A couple of possibilities is the name is too long or contains unprintable characters.
  22. At least the Dems now have an avenue of attack in the 2024 election. Oh, wait. Another avenue of attack would be more appropriate. There's so many now it's almost hard to keep track.
  23. If you pay with a card in the west, you're given a few options to tip. Usually 15%, 20% and 25%. So you get a delivery and need to pay for the food, the driver wants his 15% minimum tip. It's not easy(by design I'm sure) to tip 10%, 5% or 0. Covid and all the deliveries made it worse. I never tip if I'm picking up and maybe $5 for the delivery driver. Here it's like everyone else and round up to the nearest convenient number.
