Plant-based meat popularity fuels new ventures in Thailand
connda replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Lean Pork Tenderloin vs chemical-ladened (we promise it tastes like pig) fake plant-base slop? Yeah - this plant-base **** may appeal to some of the Lefty Eco-warrior type in BKK...but for the other 60 million people in Thailand? Meat markets aren't going out of style in my life-time. Not in Asia. "The billionaire class will force governments to outlaw meat for the commoner scum." Right - you do that at the risk of social discord and social uprisings. Oppression works until it fails. Remember: Liberté, égalité, fraternité -

They are bound and determined to cram this down the throats of consumers who prefer to eat meat. -
Phuket Hospital Appeals for Respectful Conduct from Russian Patients

Nice to see the Russians giving rude and aggressive Westerners a good name. -
Depends on your eyes. Most people? No problem. People with extreme myopia? It can be a problem. If you have extreme myopia, consider getting laser photocoagulation before getting cataract surgery.

Just curious, but a question for those who had a retina reattached here in Thailand - What was the cost?

Phuket car rentals must verify tourist driving licenses
connda replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
But? However? They probably won't be. TIT. It's less of a hassle to shake-down farangs too stupid to consider the driving laws, regulations, and licensing requirements in the foreign country they visit. -

connda replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Honestly? There should be a law that is enforced where after tourist are pulled over by the BIB for driving without a license, they then send a cop to the rental agency to fine the renter for renting to a customer without proper license. It would save a lot of farang fools lives who come to Thailand without any driving experience, especially on M/C, and then pull out and think that they are bullet proof. -
What's a reasonable price for a lady drink?
connda replied to TheFatOne's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
The exact same price any other customer would pay. Want extra money, sugar? Perform extra services. That's sort of the nature of P2P. And no - I haven't always been married and monogamous. I have traveled the world. Soooooo.... Cue the Beach Boys. -

House approves $95 billion in aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan

Billions for "friends and allies." Pennies and lip-service for US vets and the "working homeless" and the Gen-Z "near-homeless" who are now a common sight in all US cities. Imagine if you can - $95 billion USD to take care of the homeless issue. How about $850 billion earmarked for US infrastructure upgrades instead of corporate welfare for Team America World Police and the Military Industrial Complex annually. I'm a "boomer" and an anti-war US veteran. And Major General Smedley Butler was 100% correct - "War's A Racket." The beneficiaries: Corporations and Arms Manufacturers The victims: US cannon-fodder veterans, the foreign recipients of US "Freedom Bombs" and Democracy JDAMs, and the US taxpayers and average US citizens who are recipients of "Freedom Inflation" as the political class creates money out of thin air to make transfer payments to Lockheed, Raytheon, Boeing, and the rest of their Super Pac corporate and NGO donors who make a mockery of US democracy. As we said during 'Nam: Fighting for Freedom is like ****ing for Chasity. Nothing has changed in the last 70 years. A society living on a "War Economy" like the US does creates money out of thin air and export death. It doesn't have to be that way - the US could retool, recreate a manufacturing base, and export products, and work on balancing its trade deficient. Instead, Janet Yellen and other corporate proxies go whinging and crying about how Communist Party of China is more of a successful market economy than the United States. So what is the US' answer to that - start a war with China. If you can't beat them economically - then overthrow their governments and kill their citizens. That's been the freaking US model since I was born. It's empire and it always fails in the end. For those who study history, but who studies history in this dumbed-down world anymore? The US neo-cons and neo-lib war-hawks are screaming for a multi-front war with Russia, China, Iran/ME/NA, and North Korea. Gonna tell ya'll a secret US and Canadian peeps: The Pacific and Atlantic won't protect the North America when they finally provoke WWIII in order to bring "Freedom And Democracy To The Axis Of Evil." Nobody "wins"; everyone loses. So wave your little flags and cheer for the death and destruction of "your enemies." Best of luck with that when regional war turns into global war.

Billions and billions and billions send overseas to "help Americas friends" to "battle the Axis of Evil." Trillions of USD to bring Freedom And Democracy to Iraqi, Syria, and Afghanistan. In the meanwhile back at in the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave Thank you for your service US vets - now ****-off and die. Sincerely yours, The USA

My car cost $10,000 brand new and gets in-excess of 50+ miles per gallon. Why would I want an expensive EV? Right off the bat my saving are $32,990 and I'm not sucking off of the teats of a government who is using taxpayer money to essentially subsidize its wealthier than average citizens to purchase over-priced EVs.
