    My better half told me - she has a business accross from HR on 2nd Rd. I will chastise her for not taking pics. 

    They were here for Cobra Gold too, less than 12 months ago. Huge queues for the ATM at 7/11. I saw that with my own eyes.

     

    If so, the strict rules against liaisons with prostitutes still are in effect, so I doubt much activity will be going on for our members to w*nk over. Female service members will be along, for good or ill, rather dicey since the Tailhook scandal.

    If you believe Tara Reade, you are really far gone.

     

    Or if you believe E. Jean Carroll. But you ignored the point, of course. Where's her day in court?

    So why couldn't the Republicans in Congress pin a crime on Biden?

     

    Disingenuous feigning ignorance. Stonewalling, and they don't have a sufficient majority. Couldn't even get Mayorkas. The DOJ itself can't, or rather won't, prosecute that "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”

     

    So I'll leave you with the last word, as you're really just trolling.

    How did Beria's dictum work out for Joe Biden?

     

    Working great w/ regard to lawfare against Trump. And great for him, too, since he's protected by the leftists in power. No prosecution for him for willful retention and revelation of classified documents, hee hee. No prosecution for him and Hunter for suppressing the truth about the laptop before, and after, the election. Tara Reade's credible allegation of sexual assault ignored, swept under the carpet. Etc., etc.

    what do you guys store on that? 

     

    For most in need of larger capacity, media files probably take up the most space. Some of us, notably the non-hipsters among us, find little worth streaming. Movies or series we like may not be available in the future anywhere, let alone currently streamed. To watch them again in the future, they have to be stored. Really hi-res movies good for display on large 4K screens represent large files indeed.

    What hoax?  legit presidents campaign manager don't share voting data with Russian intelligence agencies.  Traitors do.

     

    Nope. Mueller and Durham already investigated exhaustively. Despite all the spin, quibbles, and gaslighting by leftists since then, if there were really anything more, Garland would have jumped on it like a dog on a bone. Sorry, big disappointment, but the political vendetta continues.🙂

    if you do not want to be charged with crimes then it might be a good idea not to commit crimes and leave massive piles of evidence behind.

     

    Sad. That's not at all how it works with political persecution. "Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime," Lavrentiy Beria famously said. What wasn't a crime, becomes a crime (with law enacted retroactively if necessary) or is simply alleged to be possibly a crime that'll have to be defended at ruinous cost, possibly (even probably) before biased jurors. Ruination of a career may be threatened:

     

    Jay Bratt, the special counsel’s lead prosecutor, allegedly threatened Trump staff member Walt Nauta’s attorney, Stanley Woodward, with sabotaging his judicial nomination to the Superior Court of the District of Columbia if he could not get Nauta to turn on Trump, according to a newly unsealed motion originally filed in June 2023.

         --https://thefederalist.com/2024/04/24/here-are-the-3-most-shocking-discoveries-just-unsealed-in-trump-classified-docs-case/

     

    Indictments, to which our more feminine members cling religiously, don't mean a lot, as a good prosecutor can get a ham sandwich indicted. No defense is presented.

     

    I'll leave it at that, because you're too naive for this discussion, and it's the usual waste of time attempting to educate.

    The "bob smith" bot was doing well at that until recently. ISP may have cut it off for lack of payment.

     

    I see "bob smith" tried to reboot under another alias, something about a "stiffy." Great topic for the peanut gallery but disappeared. Stay tuned.

     

    But what happened to the Sparktrader/bignok/Dolf bot?

     

    The remaining high-profile AI seems going strong, though the fiction about building a new PC finally fizzled out.

     

    We're left mainly with the traditional Brown Envelope and Tea Money bots.

    This year there was no paper, only a little post-it note when I asked.   Thus the confusion.   

     

    If Immigration put a charming ittle post-it note in your passport w/ the next reporting date, then that's your official notification for this time. Roll with it.

    Now I'm doing it online for the past 2 times, and it appears that their system has changed to be actually every 90 days with no reset on extension day. 

     

    Far as I know the 90-day reporting date has never reset on extension day. It resets 90 days from your last report. Farang have never understood the reasoning behind this and continually whinged about it, but it is what it is.

     

    Online reporting has taken away most of the pain--when it works, which seems to be most of the time IF you fill out the online form correctly. But they may invite you in for an in-person check anyway, as they did for me last time. I think I should be good again going forward.

     

  9. Luck o' the draw, really. I swore off Acers after a bad experience w/ a netbook years ago. I'd go with the top-rated brands for reliability, including used, come to that. I bought a used Dell for a knockabout and it's been great. But, as noted, you'll find testimonials in favor of Acer. Good luck. Like the backlit aspect, BTW.

    Perhaps the anti-British stance a certain Aussie on here has, was maybe the same in Aus, but one tool on here does not make the Aussie populace anti-British.............🤗

     

    True, most Aussies tend to suck up to the Brits. Fellow Commonwealth members rallying around His Majesty King Charles III, hating Starbucks and McDonald's together. So it's refreshing to find an independent thinker in the mob.
