You don't live in my village.

I'd say there was a 110% chance that alcohol was involved.

More like this. The men were drunk, got angry at the kid because drunks get that way, and they smashed his guitar. Buy him a new one. I seriously doubt they "smashed it up because it came from a farang." Or have his teacher keep it and he can practice where he learns.

I'll smoke to that. <pfffffftttt>

I just use Bing Copilot and except that there are going to be flaws, but I find it better than search engines.

Given the government's promise to raise electric bills we're thinking about this too. I just want to power our A/C units which are more likely the primary electricity draws on our bills. My wife balked when I first mentioned it, but I thinks she's warming up to the idea.

Again - go get quotes and an itemized list of what they will cover. Then throw away the list and invest your insurance premium in something that makes money. As BritManToo said - "It's a bet." And its a bet where the house always wins (no pun intended - and not your house).

Have you attempted to buy home insurance here. It's a joke. The insurance company doesn't provide replacement valuation. I can cover any amount that they are willing to insurance out of my own pocket. So why bother throwing money into the maw of overpriced premiums that cover next to nothing. It's different here than it was in the US.

Overpriced. Lack of infrastructure to charge. Unreliable electric grids. PITA to schedule trips and charging stops unless you are independently wealthy and can afford the most expensive cars. And you expected what?

I'm sure she'll land a highly lucrative job in the private sector making multiples of the salary she currently makes as a government employee. That will be her "reward" for almost getting "Hitler" assassinated while on her watch. And those Congressional perjuries changes that the Republicans are looking into? Come on, a Democrat administration DoJ isn't going to pursue perjury charges against a Democrat operative even if handed to them on a silver platter. It will make it slightly more difficult for her replacement to eliminate "Hitler" now tho', but not impossible. Having all those players simply ignore a massive hole in perimeter security on July 13th worked once. Heck - just invoke, "Sloped Roofs Are A Danger To USSS Agents." It worked once didn't it? But then there is now that pesky "Goebbels" and the past Editor of The Yale Law Journal to contend with. Drat! What to do, what to do? Well, when the Hillery/Michelle ticket is formed August 21st and goes into action post DNC convention, the Democrats won't have to worry about "Hitler" and "Goebbels" anymore as they'll lock in a Democrat Administration until 2050 for sure, for sure! Then they can work on imprisoning "Hitler" for the rest of his life with a new and improved Democrat DoJ formed for that express purpose. Heck, they can bring Ms. Cheatles back to run the DoJ and let Kamala be her Deputy Attorney General seeing that Ms. Harris doesn't mind playing second-fiddle to more important white folk. Ain't life grand?

You have 16GB of Random Access Memory (RAM) which is extreme fast memory connected to the CPU via bus structures. "Storage" is where you actually store programs and store data (documents, pictures, audio, video) whether it's on an old spinning Hard Disk Drive (HDD) or a Solid-State Drive (SSD). Accessing data stored in disk "storage" (HDD/SDD) is significantly slower than access data stored in memory (RAM). The computer takes programs and data that is being used at the moment by programs, out of the HDD/SSD "Storage" and puts it into memory (RAM) where is can access those programs and data very quickly. There ya go: Computers 101 sorta stuff.

Here's another reason the West will provoke a war with China: they are effective mediators in global conflicts and actually seek peaceful resolutions to conflicts that the West simply can't afford to have resolved. War equals Profits. Interfere with that equation and the US and its allies will declare war on you. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/palestinian-rivals-hamas-and-fatah-agree-to-form-government/ar-BB1qvObp

The only acceptable narrative: All Arabs Bad; All Israelis Good.

Take the young and dumb, throw them into a caldron created by politicians who will never risk a hair on their own heads, and collect your "campaign contributions" from the corporations manufacturing weapons system which you've just made $1,000,000 from front-running the stocks of those corporations slated to receive billions in government funding from legislation you helped pass. Sound about right? Most 70+ year old veterans have already seen this show played over and over and over again - sorta like the 20th reboot of Beau Geste. As General Smedley Butler so aptly stated, "War's A Racket." That it is. Provoked by the West for the benefit of Western corporations, stakeholders, and arms manufacturers. The West doesn't have a clue how to make a profit though peaceful trade and non-military intervention into the domestic affairs of targeted countries. So up next: War with China. If you can't compete with them economically, well start a war with them. Then rake in the profits until the nukes fly. Which they will this time around. Pretty freaking sad imho.

Of course - wealthy, connect people would lose investment capital. They can still legalize it for "medical use" and throw other common "users" into prison as well as to shut down all of the small retail businesses.

Amazing that I'm one of the few on this forum with a well crafted sense of satire. It helps keep me sane in an insane world.

Probably 50 former and current heads of "alphabet" agencies signing a letter in full support of the stellar performance of the USSS under Director Kim Cheatles which states that Trump set the whole assassination attempt up himself and all the video footage is "Cheap-Fakes" circulated by Putin and the Kremlin - and "that's the God's honest truth!," and a Grand Jury should be set up to bring Donald Trump to justice for faking his own assassination, and short-range nuclear weapons should be stationed in Ukraine in order to "teach Putin a lesson about interfering in US elections once and for all!" That sound about right?

Now she needs to worry about perjury charges based on that fiasco of a testimony Monday. Time to lawyer up. She should have taken one with her to the Congressional hearing. After this I doubt she'll be able to get a job guarding a bowl of Doritos.

US Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle's has resigned. And she may have perjured herself during her congressional hearing on Monday. Stay tuned.

I figured that question came from a sub-100 post AN user. Yep.

If your interested in trying out Win11 just do this. Download a Windows 11 ISO and Rufus and buy a 32GB USB if you don't have one handy. Then create a "Windows To Go" bootable "Live" USB using Rufus which you can run Windows 11 from to test it out. Probably the most difficult steps is figuring out how to boot from a USB on your computer if you haven't done it before. Like I said in my review, not much difference between Win10 and WIn11 other than Win11 has a cleaner user interface that is a bit more intuitive. And Win11 will probably run more efficiently on modern hardware then Win10. Go check it out. https://www.thewindowsclub.com/create-a-windows-to-go-version-of-windows-11

I can make a laundry list like that one Biden or pretty much any politician with perhaps that handful who actually have morals and the interests of the American people before themselves. And come on Mike - really. How many politicians care about the American people first as opposed to 1. Themselves and their own power and pocketbook, 2) their corporate sponsors who provide the PAC and Super-PAC funding which keeps them in power and then the insider trades which makes them millionaires on a Congressional salary, and 3) their foreign sponsors who provide PAC and Super-PAC funding which keeps them in power so they can transfer the wealth of America to weapons manufacturers and send those countries shiitloads of foreign aid which in turn gets kicked back as dark crypto funds, offshore accounts, and the same corporate handouts for the family's "brother-in-laws" and connected friends. And whether Democrat or Republican - they all do it. 99% of politicians lie, have no moral backbone, care less about Americans or America, and only have one goal - stay in power at any cost. And at the end of the day everybody hates everyone: foreign and domestic. Which will basically end in a pile of ashes: regionally or globally or both - unless people begin to start talking, negotiating their differences, and seeking common ground. I was 10 years old during the Cuban missile crisis. I lived on a Strategic Air Command (SAC) airbase. We were ground zero and knew it. I old man was an AF pilot and even at that young age I understood the gravity of the situation. Now - hell, things are worse both globally and domestically then they ever were i 1962. And given the fact that everyone hates everyone else and no one gives an inch. That bodes not well for the future of anyone. In the meanwhile? Let the hate-fest continue unabated. What a cluster-foxtrot the world is currently in. "But Trump is Hilter! So's Putin and Xi and they all need to be taught a lesson! " And there ya'll have it. <BOOM>

Racist? I mean Harris is of Central Asian Indian descent and yesterday we established that you have issues with Indians. Perhaps you should do some introspection about your dislike of Indians.

Trump was scheduled to be sentenced on July 11 but NY Judge Juan Merchan said the former president will now be sentenced on September 18. So for those Trump haters who repeat over and over again that Trump is "a convicted felon" - the November elections will be a sealed deal for Trump if Merchan sentences him to even a day in prison. "Convicted Felon." Be careful what you wish for. Like I said - the Lawfare Genie is out of the bottle and Democrats will be "in the bullseye" for judicial proceedings when President Trump takes office.
