Most live in tiny, poorly ventilated, "dog box" style rooms, many of which have no AC or legal cooking facilities. We are coming into the hottest months of the year,
I wish Westerners would stop coming here and thinking all the locals think exactly the same as they do. They have been exposed to the heat their whole lives and most actually prefer it to the frigid environment some foreigners prefer. I have been on AC busses where I thought it was too warm but the locals were opening the windows.

What's the power curve of this thing look like? Do you need to keep it at 8k to keep it drivable? I'd hate to have to drive at high rpm all the time.

We met in Europe and she is an educated person and works as a government employee here in Thailand.
Well then have her pay you back at 10k per month until it's paid off...

Alcohol kills the virus. Doesnt it?
Yes, but drinking it doesn't work. You need to breath it in so your lungs are full of liquid alcohol.

The stock market’s latest plunge on Wednesday did more than wipe out billions of dollars in investor equity. It also nearly obliterated President Donald Trump’s favorite measure of his economic success.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average's decline below 20,000 almost completely erased all of the iconic index's previous gains since Trump's inauguration, jeopardizing a key talking point for his reelection campaign. Earlier in the day, the S&P 500 fell by more than 7 percent, triggering a marketwide trading halt.
Since his 2016 victory, Trump has tweeted dozens of times about the record stock gains under his watch, posting as recently as Feb. 19 that it was the “Highest Stock Market In History, By Far!” He has repeatedly suggested that Americans check their 401(k)s to tote up their gains, and argued that the markets would have crashed had Hillary Clinton defeated him.
Now the upheaval sparked by the coronavirus pandemic, coupled with plunging oil prices and fears that shares were already inflated, has panicked investors, sending the Dow below the 19,827 where it stood on Jan. 20, 2017, the day Trump was inaugurated. Stocks pared their losses late in the day, and the Dow closed at 19,904.
Trump, for his part, always uses the election as the starting point, noting that the market surged the morning after the results were in. The Dow closed at 18,332, on Nov. 8, 2016, Election Day.
Trump's top economic aides have also eagerly made the connection between the health of the stock market and the success of his presidency.
In a CNBC interview a month after Trump’s inauguration, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said he “absolutely” views the stock market as a “report card” for the administration.
The stock plunge underscores the risk Trump took in tying his presidential reputation to stock prices, which can go down as easily as they can go up, and in any case are only one indicator of the health of the economy.

How does this compare with other bikes in Thailand?
You can get a CB650R for about 300k. Why waste your time with this?

Thailand Post. They will ship anything from construction materials to motorcycles to major household appliances.

Come on, everything must be ok, Trump gave himself a rating of 10/10 for his handling of the crisis.

Trump has forced the fed to keep interest rates low so the economy would keep strong in the hope that it will get him elected again. The problem with that is that if there is a recession(and theres a big one coming) they have no tools to help alleviate it. The US is screwed with this moron in the White House. He was such a successful businessman, look at all the failures, Trump casinos, Trump airlines, Trump steaks, Trump vodka, Trump University, etc. The next failure, USA.

Down for me too. TVTap also. It looks like if I use a vpn to anywhere, even Thailand, they both work. That implies 3BB is blocking the streaming to at least those two apps...

Sorry, more fake internet stuff to fool the simple minded. The actual reference in the book is to Gorki-400.

A bit off topic don't you think? But I can make a reasonable attempt to answer it. Blame the Christians...

So the death rates are more likely in line with the flu.
Sorry to burst your bubble(actually I'm not), but the flu rates also don't include the ones who had a mild infection and never got tested...

50 billion dollars available due to the national emergency declaration. How long before he starts to use it on the Trump Border Wall? I can hear it now. Those Hondurans have coronavirus and we need to stop them...

Does Trump have any idea what the payroll tax is for? It funds social security and medicare, among other things.
Of course he knows. His plan, assuming he is re-elected is to do away with social security and Medicare. That gives him a reason as there won't be enough money to pay for them.

They can ride(drive) whatever they want. What they want to ride/drive, however, MAY be influenced by the size(or lack thereof) of their penis..

Fixated - or what ?
Do you ride ? If so - what ?
yes, I ride. Owned maybe 60 bikes, starting in the 70's. Never a Harley, never saw the appeal. BSA and Triumph(made in England) then Honda fours after they came out, Gold Wings, Interstates, dirt bikes. Raced a bit of motocross. In SE Asia had Suzuki DR650, Kawasaki Ninja and lots of small stuff. Now I rent a click 125, all I really need for around town.

Not totally true. 7 strains of corona. Been around for years. Some people may have some immunity.
Yes, but we are currently only interested in one of the 7 strains, which nobody has any resistance to.

These Chinese bikes are notorious for not working when wet. Japanese or made in Thailand bikes work in most conditions.
