  1. I don't know. " White guy was still arguing about his health being good when I left. "
  2. I don't know how relevant this is to the Thai government announcement. My most recent trip to Thailand was July 15 this year. I flew on Ethiopian airlines from Newark, NJ airport. Stopped in Togo (?), Lome for an hour to allow passengers to deboard and clean the inside of the aircraft. In transit passengers were required to stay on board the aircraft. Departed and flew to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia where everyone deboarded and where I changed aircraft then had about a 1.5 hour wait before boarding the next aircraft. At BKK as I was heading into the fast track line when a woman there asked to see my boarding pass. She saw I had traveled on Ethiopian Airlines and told me I had to go for a health check (or what ever she actually said) and directed me to a booth that was just past a business a few meters away. There were two arriving passengers there. I waited behind one as she spoke with the TOT (?) official, she was Asian. The other person already speaking with one TOT official was a white person with a sort of British accent. From the conversation it sounded like he had traveled from from Africa (I forget what country) to BKK. He kept arguing about not being sick and something else about health issues. My wait till the lady in front of me left was about 5 minutes. TOT official asked a couple of question about my health, looked at my covid shot record, and asked me where I came from. I told him Newark, NJ. He said something, wrote something on a piece of paper, put it in my passport and told me I could go. White guy was still arguing about his health being good when I left. Lady at fast track looked at the paper in my passport and motioned me into the fast track immigration line. That was about a 15-20 minute wait till I was stamped into Thailand.
  3. I have done that. Even though I am the guy on the right. No takers.
  4. The lifetime warranty for the MG, from what little I read in this thread, applies to the battery. I am assuming that there is also warranty coverage for the rest of the vehicle that mimics what mine is, or was, which does not cover what I call expendables, i.e., tires, brakes, shocks, tires, etc., parts that normally wear out within an expected time period, for which the owner is responsible for replacement costs. I was caught by surprise when the radio in my truck started giving up its ghost. The radio is an important part of the vehicle because it is part computer and controls a variety of different functions of the vehicle, it even had a 10 Gb hard drive (20 Gb after replacement). The Lifetime Warranty did not cover replacement cost for the radio. A new replacement radio was quoted as $2000.00! I paid for a rebuilt one which cost me $900.00. I think there is a separate computer system that controls the engine functions, I am not sure. I am an old car mechanic type person who does not know how to work on modern vehicles. Only a studious MG EV owner who has read and understood his/her warranty would know or may know what might be covered by the new car warranty for the vehicle.
  5. I drink mochas. Does that count?
  6. I would not know. I don't drink lattes.
  7. Off the subject of electric vehicles and their warranties, to the MOPAR "Lifetime Warranty" for my 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie pickup truck but possibly related to the MG "Lifetime Warranty", which brings up a question. When I read the "Lifetime Warranty" information for my Ram 1500, I found that "Lifetime" was defined as, (paraphrased) covering warranty repairs until the repair costs more than the market value of the vehicle. It was however a good investment. For just under $3000.00 for the "Lifetime Warranty" in 2014 when I purchased the truck, the warranty has covered between $12,000.00 and $15,000.00 in warranty repairs, which includes replacement of the 5.7 Ltr. Hemi engine, which would have cost over $8,000.00 in 2020. The dealer service center does charge me a 1 hour diagnostic fee however. I did find out that MOPAR stopped selling their vehicle "Lifetime Warranty" three or four months after I purchased mine. I wonder why? LOL So the question is, how does MG define "Lifetime"?
  8. I used to listen to Radio Moscow and intercept radio teletype traffic from Radio Tass. The only thing I can remember from reading the Radio Tass intercept were the many reports of people being arrested for possession of home made sub machineguns. Reports of the sub machineguns being tested and that they functioned perfectly. If I recall correctly, those were weekly reports. So much for gun bans.
  9. Spiderman, as the woman who I think was his boss called him. Dangling from a rope about 5/8 inch thick, painting the sides of a condo building. Building has about 32 floors of condominiums. From the top probably about 34 or 35 floors tall. Video made on Aug 20, 2024. 20240820_150848.mp4
  10. Snake bites man in toilet... How about spiders? I have a lasting phobia about being bit by spiders while using toilets. Comes from having to use out door toilets when I was a kid, in backwoods Louisiana! Those were infested with spiders in the summer months!
  11. Should I report those that have attacked me? It might be quite a few people. Those that attack me are on your side.
  12. Took this picture a couple of days ago. Long Nose Whip Snake? Grandkids and wife thought it was a fake snake.
  13. Here it is where it appears you put yourself on ignore. It's a screen shot.
  14. You must be very sensitive. I have been directly insulted many times. The insults shows the quality of the insulters character. I don't respond in kind.
  15. Where did I show disrespect?
  16. You should go back and read the thread then. That is what it appears you did. You quoted yourself and wrote what appeared to be a comment about putting yourself on ignore. It was humourism. It's not like a different person who responded to a post I made in which I quoted someone else's post. The person responding to me edited out my entire comment, almost all of the other persons comment that I was responding to and made it look like the other persons comment was mine. I just responded and told him someone else made the comment he made appear to be mine. No nasty comments, condescending remark.
  17. So, I found two of your comments, where it appeared that you implied you were putting yourself on ignore, I thought it was funny and pointed it out to you. And you made a nasty remark about it. What was the purpose of the nasty remark?
  18. I was reading the thread from the beginning when I found it. Was there a need to make a nasty, unproven remark.
  19. Fact Check: There's No Proof Trump Asked If It's Wrong To Be More Sexually Attracted to Your Own Daughter than Your Wife https://ca.news.yahoo.com/fact-check-trump-allegedly-asked-110000598.html
  20. You responded to your own post! Did you put yourself on an ignore list?
  21. Click on the button (or what ever it's called) that expands the video to full screen before you click on the play button. That works for me. But I only use a computer for AN, I don't know if that works with phones.
  22. My condo is next to the river on the 26th floor. The master bedroom exterior walls are 2/3rds windows. It has two balconies, one for the master bedroom and the other off the living room and both have good views of the river. . I see longtails working both day and night. Most of the time, the longtails have some kind of light, sometimes two, but not all. I have gone out on the balcony trying to see the ones at night that do not run with lights and can barely spot them in the water, running at full speed. I see jet skis too. Most of the time they are running at full speed. Most of the ones I see at night are running with some kind of light, usually headlight and sometimes with some kind of colored running lights on the tail. I have seen some pretty scary near collisions at night between the two. Makes me wonder if either driver can hear the other with the noise they make.
  23. This thread seems like a, I can insult you better than you can insult me, kind of thread.
  24. My daughter enrolled her two kids in swimming class, in the U.S. of A. as soon as they were eligible to take them. During one of the classes I watched my grandson misstep and fell into the swimming pool. His drownproofing lessons immediately kicked in, his stayed head above water and then climbed out of the pool. Kids dying from incidents like this in Thailand, or anywhere else in the world, hits me emotionally. Makes me wish there were some type of sponsored (government?) swim classes for kids that would help prevent these drownings.
