Ouch, that is brutal. Electrocuting an Elephant does not seem to have been as popular as other Edison films from that period.[3]

I like the fact that the US has the bestest submarines in the world - genius apparatus that doesn't allow detection above water or below water. How's this for meandering babbling word salad? https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPg9VuJkR0X/?igsh=MTQwOWdrdndldzV1cg%3D%3D

Yeah, 1A, 1K, 2A, 2K. Deal breaker.

Wrong again on every count. Not that I need to explain myself to you, but suffice to say you could not be more wrong.

Ok genius. When did he come out and say that? Hint: there's a date in the image, and it is not very recent that's for sure. Not going to do your homework for you but there are plenty of tools on the internet to help you found out. Indeed, there are plenty of tools on the internet - I think most people in this thread will agree. Oh dear.

Well done, you've posted one non-dated photo with zero context. And your personal insults are getting really boring. You are talking nonsense. I live here, have done for29 years. I live in Bangkok, I go out in to the city most days. As I posted earlier (but you ignored) I even counted masks on the ARL and BTS the other day. Absolutely, unquestionably, it is not more than 10%. During Covid it was close to 100%, and Thailand fared very well. Since then usage has dwindled steadily to be almost insignificant now. But yeah, shame about your dad dumping your mum for a Thai girl who wears a mask around you, I get your angst, but you need to let it go. How long left now in your two week visit? And how much of it have you spent sitting and ranting on the internet?

Nine pages of you ranting about the same (mostly made up) thing.

Correct. I renewed my daughter's UK passport this year and they ALSO required a colour photocopy of every page of her Thai passport. The VFS lady was studious enough to notice I had missed one page (they were nearly all blank pages) so they do diligently check. In the olden days they would have sent you to the ground floor to find a photocopy shop and come back, but she just photocopied the missing for me there and then (and didn't charge).

Thing is they're dammed if they do and dammed if they don't.

You are not in Bangkok are you, you're stuck in rural Thailand somewhere. I used the ARL and the BTS a couple of times each yesterday. And I tried to count the masks. In my ARL carriage I counted 4. And the are mostly Thai commuters. On the BTS I couldn't see the whole carriage as it was too busy, but in my half of it, maybe 6-7 masks. So maybe 5% of people. Absolutely, 100%, not more than 10%. So you are crying about nothing. But at least we've all learned how tough you are, and how you go in to 50-50 tackles, what a hero!!

Reporting back - came home and used my Bangkok Bank ATM debit card. All good, so a step above the MRT which only accepts credit cards. So to @OneZero, you have no need to prep anything, just go and use your Kasikorn card, it should be fine.

Yes, much more efficient and very friendly and helpful. The opposite of HMPO in fact.

Well done Toyota, you've cocked it up again.

I just used the ARL, contactless. Two dedicated gates. Tap your card on the reader, the screen goes green and you walk through. Tap again at the other end on your way out. There are no gates to open, they are just left open: tap, get green, walk through. No need to set anything up. Having said that I didn't notice if they accept debit cards, I know the MRT doesn't, it has to be a credit card. I will check specifically for that later on my way home.

One of the vehicles I did know about was a new BEV Hilux coming next year which if priced correctly could be hugely popular. But that's a big "if". They have just done the global launch announcement a few minutes ago. And, erm, a fuel cell version also coming for some unknown reason. https://media.toyota.co.uk/world-premiere-of-the-all-new-toyota-hilux/

How about I post a video? Is that allowed? Please watch it and tell me your thoughts. https://www.facebook.com/reel/25569824512617990

Are you ok buddy? Been a long day? "White guys for Harris"? There's only one reason most of the world is laughing at America, and believe me, it isn't me. (Hint: it is orange)

Winning.

Yep, he just hates Thailand and Thais as his dad left his mum for a Thai girl and maybe she wears a mask when he is around. It is a tiny percentage of people who wear them, tiny.

Nah, his US one got a little too sticky.

Did you read the article? Obviously not, otherwise you would have seen he had done nothing wrong. He had merely written about the Columbia University protests. That is all. And they demanded he unlock a private photo folder on his phone which was very personal. Nothing else, no crime committed, just written an article about a University protest. Is writing about a protest illegal? Nope. He'd written an article that someone didn't like. Are you ok with Customs and Border Protection acting as thought police and denying entry to people whose political opinions they don't like or who have posted things on social media the regime doesn't like? Obviously you are. I am not. Read the article before commenting on it, it would really help you know.

Jeeez, you're losing it. What other sites do I "belonged too"? And what are these slaps on the wrists? Just checked my messages and I did get a post removed 14 years ago. This is the only forum I post in, I really have no idea what you're talking about now, genuinely. "Squad members with my little agenda". You mean some other posters who disagree with you and your propaganda too? Again, if you post something expect people to reply to it and it is perfectly reasonable to expect people to disagree or challenge you. 09.11.25: Remembrance Sunday - remembering the day BarraMarra finally lost the plot. I would love to know what other sites you think I belong to and have a bad reputation on. LinkedIn? I do post on there occasionally about work related stuff but have never had a disagreement on there as it is not a discussion forum.

"Terrorist thugs Antifa". He's credible then. So assume you're ok with immigration checking your social media, personal photos etc before deciding whether to let you in?

Good news. ARL and MRT. Now need the BTS to follow suit. So annoying carrying three cards.

Apparently you are not allowed in to America now if you have ever written anything that was impartial or - heaven forbid - could be construed as critical. This wasn't even a brown person, just an Australian mid level journalist. How can this happen, he hadn't committed any crime? https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-lede/how-my-reporting-on-the-columbia-protests-led-to-my-deportation?source=Paid_Soc_FBIG_CM_0_ASC_0_NYR_INT_Prospecting_C&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=Paid_Soc_FBIG_CM&utm_brand=tny&utm_campaign=paid-ASC&utm_paidredirect=Paid_Soc_FBIG_CMASC_C&utm_id=120205147163490198&utm_content=120231442856290198&utm_term=120205344817630198&fbclid=IwY2xjawN9FUNleHRuA2FlbQEwAGFkaWQBqyXcQByd5nNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR619FbKA4awkmgU5RKOWi92qC9FOPDTpRzqXQoWgXuJWiBw__zxUlap3JeZ0g_aem_2CJqBtGELuRaBxbgeVil9A
