  1. Trump always portrays stuff as much larger than it really is. Ask Stormy Daniels. And he's got such small hands.
  2. Thankfully there are no criminals or fugitives from Canada. Eh.
  3. All this concern about getting addicted to cannabis, there's hope on the horizon... ------- BORDEAUX, France — Could AEF0117, a drug that has a novel mechanism of action in the brain, be the drug to fight cannabis addiction? Results from a phase 2a clinical trial that examined the efficacy of AEF0117 in patients with cannabis use disorder have created quite a stir. The study was published in Nature Medicine. Not only did AEF0117 weaken the effects of cannabis, but it also decreased a person's desire to use it, all without causing withdrawal symptoms. These findings have generated a significant buzz in the scientific and medical community. "In the past, 8% of cannabis users would develop an addiction — today, this figure is 15%. Addiction to cannabis has become the main reason for seeking treatment at specialist drug clinics," said Pier Vincenzo Piazza, MD, PhD, psychiatrist, neurobiologist, and general director of Aelis Farma, the biopharmaceutical company that developed AEF0117. This rise in cases can be explained by the increase in THC content in cannabis over the years. THC content increased from 5% in the 1970s to 30% today. Although cannabis is still less addictive than tobacco (33% of users become addicted), cocaine, heroin, or alcohol (25% of users become addicted), the number of cannabis users is increasing. Currently, 14.2 million in the United States and more than half a million in France use cannabis. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/993613
  4. But everything else in Pattaya does...
  5. This reminds me. Whatever happened to all those ugly orange condos (Nordic something I think) that were prevalent years ago. They had a similar deal from what I can recall. I wonder how those investors feel now?
  6. Skype? Ewww. Google voice gives free calls to most USA and Canadian phones. Calls to the UK are $0.01 USD per minute. How much per minute for Skype? Google voice needs you to be in the US to sign up. Use a vpn..
  7. Shopee, lazada, AliExpress... The big shops want to sell you a new pipe/bong.
  8. Fake news. Sorry, couldn't resist...
  9. Ever heard the term “F___ You money“? Essentially when you have it you are no longer dependant on, for example, your boss. You have enough to walk away from your job and not be adversely affected. The next level is “F___ You Very Much money“. Essentially if someone messes with you, you will do whatever it takes to make them regret it, regardless of the cost. No matter the cost, it won't affect you significantly. So which category are you, FYM or FYVMM?
  10. First half of season 2 of the Lincoln lawyer has dropped. I'm about 1/2 way through season 1 and find it quite entertaining. About as good so far as the earlier seasons of Goliath.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. You've likely got your fingers in the wrong place!
  14. Yeah, you're absolutely correct. I don't trust/believe the House GOP majority oversight committee either.

    Shopee

    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.
  16. 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.
  17. That won't last long;
  18. You look to be a good candidate to relocate to Cambodia. All the drugs you need are available over the counter without prescriptions. Enjoy.
  19. 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%.
  20. Never pay “cash“ to buy an airline ticket. Always use a credit card as you get so much more protection.
  21. 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
  22. 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.
  23. Please explain what you mean by “issues“. Is cloudflare blocking access? That happens to me a lot these days.
