Somehow I am still surprised that that is still top news around the world.

It's just another day in the USA, land of the free and all that.

Next week there will be another one, and another one, and nothing substantial will happen. 

Yep. If they want the guns they should be willing to pay the price of innocent people getting shot and killed.  

If they don't want mass shootings and regular gun deaths, then they know what to do....but they won't.  

That's not what I have found.  Perhaps it depends on social status. 

I was told that it looks 'hi so' for Thais to order lots of food at restaurants and leave a lot when they go....so it looks like they are rolling in money and shows other people there that they can afford to waste food. 

But in my Thai social  circle (rural chiang mai) there is zero food wastage. 

If they have left over food at restaurants they get it bagged up to take home. 

If they cook too much at their house they keep it and make new stuff from it, or use the opportunity of visiting guests / family / neighbours to share what's left. 

Even the stuff that is past its best, or the vegetable peelings etc   are fed to the chickens or street dogs.

I don't understand your post, but if you want to know why farmers don't like her policies I'll repeat for you

 

"Ever heard of 3 waters? Ever heard of the methane tax?"

 

No. I had not.  So basically farmers did not want to pay tax or clear up their act to stop polluting NZ's rivers or producing greenhouse gasses.  

Well... Worse then covid., yet they will wear face masks on motor bikes but not helmets or even have lights working.  

Wow.  How does that add up to 10 million baht?  Those jeans and shoes must be really good.

Everyone at my work got all the shots....wore masks religiously and they ALL got Covid at least once. They got a freaking sore throat, fever and some had a bit of a cough...This whole thing has been the biggest swindle in human history. 

I have had no covid shots, only wear mask on public transport or places that insist on it, such as immigration etc. 

During lock downs I went out with my Thai friends and neighbours drinking behind our local village shops. 

I have never had covid, nor has my partner.

You assume they don't care.  Big assumption as many of them may well be looking at you thinking what a damn jerk.

Most Thai people would not waste their time to give a dam what you were doing as they have little interest in you or others. 

Look at them next time you are on the train...they will be on social media, eyes glued tot heir smart phones, not busy judging you or others around them.

They are good like that. It's a Buddhist thing...and part of their culture. 

Need for approval from total strangers, or on easing about how others are judging you

.. Well... that seems a bit of an insecurity to me.

I really don't get karma. You can be walking on a deserted road at 3 a.m. and out of nowhere a car or truck will come along and ram right into you. It could have crashed anywhere... but no... it has to crash in the only place that has life. I have nothing but sorrow for this young lady and her unborn child. What a waste. Karma sucks

It's not karma, it's a chance accident. 

OP.  The problem you will have now is there will be hundreds of baby ticks and u hatched tick eggs in your house.  They will keep going back onto the dog. 

You need to buy a product that will kill these ticks before they get to your dog.  Your home has to be retreated several times over a few weeks because the products don't kl the tick eggs, which otherwise will hatch and start the problem over again. 

Your dog does not need a tick bath.  Use a spot on liquid once a month, applied to the back of the dogs neck.  This kills any ticks that try to feed on the dog.  

These spot on are cheap too if you get the brands that are not imported. 

Keep a close eye on your dog as its had so many ticks there could be a chance it will get a disease off them.

If the dog goes off its food or acts lethergoc, get it to a vet ASAP as they can die from disease transmitted by the ticks. 

Good luck.  Your vet will be able to advise you about the house and dog tick prevention products and how to use them. 

If you simple give the dog a tick bath, they ticks will come back time and time again as they are on / in your property now.

Darwin insisted that some species and some members of those species were more fit for survival than others. It would appear the roads here, and especially motorbike riders, are a perfect example of his theories in action. 

 

It takes certain qualities to survive on the roads here. Patience, being very conscious of your surroundings, driving defensively, avoiding talking or texting while driving a motorbike, avoiding excessive speed, especially in town, following basic traffic rules and laws and avoiding being overly stupid, at all times, are great aids in the art of survival. 

 

You alps forgot one of the most useful things....luck. 

You can be as safe and careful as you like, but some idiot drivng a huge lorry or cement mixer being careless, and that could easily be game over.
