Dogs off their leash are a danger and should be 'dealt with', as should the 'owner'.Fri, 26 Jun 2026 07:42:37 +0000Nope, what bothers me is the ingrained ignorance, and mixing up pneumonia with pneumococcus. I was genuinely trying to be helpful in a non-partisan way, but you decided to be a Russian w⚓ about it. Remember, it was you who decided to share your medical history with the whole world, when there was no need, in a discussion about, essentially, how 60% of new air force recruits declining a fairly innocuous vaccine (that's probably the more surprising aspect, less so than the Air Force's own rules. Its one thing to be a 20 year old and decide "I'm not paying for that shot" versus "I'm not taking that free shot") seems to have resulted in an unseasonal outbreak (spread because they live in communal barracks). Its a worrying sign about how much vaccine-phobia has percolated through society. I'm not bothered whether you are a homosexual or not, but found it strange of all the vaccinations you could have raised as an example, you picked that one and then linked it to sexuality. You could have picked HPV vaccination as an example of a vaccination you don't need, because clearly you are not female and there are no direct benefits to men from that vaccine (the only benefit is to their partner). Or, at a stretch, picked tetanus, because you are not much of a gardener or home mechanic (yes, we are all supposed to have a booster every 5 years or so, but frequently, we often only get the booster following an injury). I've had my full blue book. You can look up what that means. It means it I have vaccinations based on work requirements. I know I will have had at least one vaccination pretty much every American will not have received (except a really tiny number). Have a think about that one, what it could be. Its one of the older, old school shots, pretty potent, can harm babies, because its a live vaccine. But the reasons why Americans won't get it are interesting.Fri, 26 Jun 2026 07:41:36 +0000Got one in our back garden.....still no idea what the wife was building.Fri, 26 Jun 2026 07:32:26 +0000Fri, 26 Jun 2026 07:31:27 +0000Multi Entry Tourist Visa. Saves all the hassle.Fri, 26 Jun 2026 07:30:52 +0000I doubt this happens everywhere but the beef sold in lower end restaurants is often buffalo, hence tougher than beef.Fri, 26 Jun 2026 07:30:03 +0000What's the odds she gets a pardon I mean there are a lot of good people at mar a largo getting hurt by all this stuff. let me pre empt the but hunters pardon in my opinion no one should get presidential pardons open to abuse corruption ect ectFri, 26 Jun 2026 07:27:01 +0000Just don't cut that thick, although you need a really long grill, table and plate to serve it up. I guess 1030 / kg would have helped 🙄Fri, 26 Jun 2026 07:25:15 +0000Fri, 26 Jun 2026 07:24:40 +0000The government spec called for pipeline 5000 which is the wrong product for this application, a good contractor would have questioned this ! as part of there quality system, as for the expansion joints there are Flexible Epoxy which could have been used American workmanship piss poor !!Fri, 26 Jun 2026 07:24:32 +0000Yep, all entry/visa/extension history is available to the officer when you go for an extension BUT The immigration officers know all too well that people who want to "push their own paper" need to exit/re-enter (wiping the slate clean from the agent stamps) and start over. The O/P won't have any issue when they decide to go "above the table" for their visa/extensionFri, 26 Jun 2026 07:24:29 +0000And right there is a prime example of why the US is moving downhill. The fact that you and millions of other Americans don't understand why " 6 teeth" is tricked into fighting for "6 yachts" is bad for the US is one of the reasons your country is regressing.Fri, 26 Jun 2026 07:24:05 +0000Depends on land location. I built mine 3 years ago and since there were elec/water available we did not even bother to get any permit. There were several shops, a big house and an apartment building on the same lot. Local builders asked too much for such a small house (50sqm). Fortunately I could do it by hiring construction workers, but I had to watch them all the times, otherwise they would never follow instructions. it took me a year to finish it. I did some work by myself. I installed windows and doors (2 sliding, 1 entrance) , floor tiles wall tiles, floor laminate, electrical wiring and all kitchen. myself. You pay and they still can’t do a clean job🙁. It cost me 13k-15k sqm.Fri, 26 Jun 2026 07:22:59 +0000The Cheif Grifter will pardon Maxwell soon enough, though i am very sure it will not end well for her.Fri, 26 Jun 2026 07:21:24 +0000I think you missed your miss quote of "kg" instead of "Baht".Fri, 26 Jun 2026 07:21:11 +0000Fri, 26 Jun 2026 07:19:22 +0000The timing is just right for me on this subject. I'm 83 been driving for 70 years started at 13 in Seattle. I have been driving right hand cars for pass 41 years. Monday I'm going to renew my license and in all likely hood for the last time. I have limited my driving to my housing area and the local food market. I really do not like drive in heavy traffic areas mostly due to the increase number of motor cycles. My mother was still driving at age 96 she didn't start driving until she was in her mid 40's, but all that time not one accident or ticket. I do not plan on driving to her age though. The cost to get a Grab is low and dependable except at late evening here in Bangkok. Which I use now to go into the city. For now i like to drive to the local swimming pool and Market which just blocks away and to far walk every hard to get a Grab do to the short distance.Fri, 26 Jun 2026 07:18:48 +0000China faces acute issues, but the population scale is different, and gdp per capita is still low. It's just a question of time.Fri, 26 Jun 2026 07:18:40 +0000Fri, 26 Jun 2026 07:17:33 +0000Stupid will do stupid stuff.Fri, 26 Jun 2026 07:16:44 +0000People with little to no RE or building experience should buy something less than 5 yrs old. Any issues would probably been fixed, along with, simply getting an inspector to review the property, and give a list of repairs needed before closing, or knocked off the price. Daughter bought a pre-planned townhouse in a development, and before settlement, had it inspected with a list, to be fixed before taking possession. Also if you do contract a builder, make the last payment to be released, only after an inspection, and anything found, corrected. Common sense money spending, not really rocket science. All should have been learned, way before retiring to TH. Not exactly your first house purchase, hopefully.Fri, 26 Jun 2026 07:14:56 +0000What do you do with rock spiders? You send them to prison where fellow inmates crush them. They also have have morals to get rid of them when it comes to the life of a young child.Fri, 26 Jun 2026 07:13:54 +0000This is key. This latest attempt to overturn the conviction is pathetic and has no chance of success. It gives her some weak cover not to co-operate with Congress and claim the Fifth.Fri, 26 Jun 2026 07:12:32 +0000I flew from Dubai to Rome 3 weeks ago. Went straight to a machine to be photographed and have my fingerprints scanned, but they wouldn’t scan. Same with the adjoining machine. Was directed to a huge line for manual processing. After a few minutes, heard the guy in front of me tell an immigration officer that he was American, upon which he was directed to a much shorter line. So I flashed my Australian passport, and was put in the same line. To my consternation, I then realised this line led straight to more machines. When my prints wouldn’t scan again, I was told not to worry, just the photo was OK. I was through in 20 minutes, before my luggage had even arrived. So, I conclude that the fingerprint scanning machines are defective, and the practical Italians have realised that they just have to forget about fingerprints for everyone. Hope it doesn’t lead to problems next time I cross a Schengen border.Fri, 26 Jun 2026 07:12:00 +0000
