But, this cannot be applied to all humans. Each has his own 'thing'.Mon, 01 Jun 2026 13:22:40 +0000But they don't believe any stats coming from the govt.Mon, 01 Jun 2026 13:21:28 +0000Oh here we go !!! you yanks like living in the past ! blame it on the past guy that's all you say Oh it was Biden or Obama Stop blaming a person All you Yanks are responsible FIX it and move on !!

The rains really pick up in September and October (the worst of the monsoon season - for Bangkok anyway - different by Thai region). So July and August can still hammer us, but they tend to be a bit of a lull in Bangkok.Mon, 01 Jun 2026 13:20:13 +0000You keep saying America is becoming "less democratic," but what specifically has Trump done that ended democracy? We still have elections. We still have opposition parties. We still have a free press. We still have courts blocking administration actions when they believe those actions exceed legal authority. In fact, you even mentioned a judge ruling against Trump. That's evidence that the system is still functioning. You may not like how Trump communicates and you may disagree with his policies, but posting a lot on social media isn't the same thing as ending democracy. As for future generations, I actually hope my kids and grandkids inherit a country with secure borders, enforced laws, a strong economy and a government that puts American interests first. Reasonable people can disagree on whether Trump's policies achieve those goals, but that's a policy debate, not a democracy debate. And regarding the number of posts, I don't dispute the numbers. Trump clearly posts far more than previous presidents. My question is: why does posting 18 times a day make someone anti-democratic? It may be unusual, annoying, or unpresidential to some people, but it's not evidence that democracy is ending.Mon, 01 Jun 2026 13:18:07 +0000Here is the topic: Has Trump completely lost the plot? Stay on topic.Mon, 01 Jun 2026 13:17:10 +0000Not so sure I’d want to hear his history of poor choices Xylophone. Hearing his plight may make it harder for you to say no to another loan… He’s not your responsibility but you don’t seem the type to sit back and watch him starve either. Maybe encourage him to go and help out at a temple, they will provide food and shelter at least.Mon, 01 Jun 2026 13:16:33 +0000Off topic posts removed. Bickering posts removed. Flame posts removed. Deliberate provocations with the intent to draw other members into bickering matches have been removed. @Yellowtail You're on the top of the list for this. If you insist on attacking other member, I'll simple remove your posts. My suggestion is to stay on topic, stop verbal attacks and provocations, and stop the incessant bickering. Stop making it personal. Everyone - everything I just said to Yellowtail goes for all members. It's really tiresome to clean up these threads which devolve into bickering matches between two, three, or four members who then drag the thread entirely off topic. It's not fair to members who want to respond "on topic" without fearing that they will be attacked for their opinion.Mon, 01 Jun 2026 13:16:19 +0000That 40% figure sounds very high for a normal new-car finance deal in Thailand. Current new-car finance is often advertised around 2% to 3% flat rate per year, with higher rates depending on deposit, term and borrower. Even 3% flat over 5 years is roughly 15% interest on the financed amount, not 40%. To reach 40%, the quote probably included a very high rate, a long term, low deposit, insurance, fees, accessories, or some dealer add-ons. Also, I doubt a dealer would normally refuse a genuine cash sale completely. More likely, the finance deal gave the salesman or dealer a bigger commission, or the advertised discount/extras were tied to taking finance. Saying “you cannot pay cash” sounds more like sales pressure, or possibly a misunderstanding, than a normal rule.Mon, 01 Jun 2026 13:15:39 +0000How do you know she had a stroke?Mon, 01 Jun 2026 13:15:25 +0000indeed wow... have you seen the latest FBI crime stats? need to confirm, but looks like the MAGA phenomenon has achieved the lowest murder rate since about the time you were born, or something close to it, like 125 years... lol. how about that for all you pathetic and DERANGED haters.Mon, 01 Jun 2026 13:12:31 +0000Not serious,"mini-stroke" or TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack). She's 54 years old Thai. Any advice to check her so she don't get a full stroke. She's different now, mood swings, from angry to over loving. I know the common things, like face expression, every day I ask her to hold both arms up for 10 second.Mon, 01 Jun 2026 13:11:50 +0000Who's on first?Mon, 01 Jun 2026 13:11:15 +0000My eyes are open. That's exactly why I don't blame every economic problem on whoever happens to be in office at the moment. Inflation, housing costs and grocery prices didn't appear overnight and they aren't fixed overnight either. A lot of the inflation Americans experienced started years ago from pandemic disruptions, massive government spending, supply chain issues and global energy problems. As for gas prices, they've generally been lower than the peak levels Americans saw during the Biden years, although global events still affect them regardless of who's president. I never said everything is perfect. Groceries, housing, and healthcare are still too expensive. But acting like every problem today was created by Trump's policies in just over a year isn't realistic either. You can disagree with Trump, but calling anyone who supports some of his policies a "fanboy" doesn't really address the actual issues.Mon, 01 Jun 2026 13:06:53 +0000Well, one out of two isn't half bad.Mon, 01 Jun 2026 13:06:13 +0000Don't worry as long as you pay taxes and social security. Your salary can be less than stipulated as long as you pay taxes higher than your in facto salary. The best is that you will get a social security card that gives you free health care. My salary depends on how much I work, but I always pay my taxes.Mon, 01 Jun 2026 13:04:14 +0000Yes. I couldn't find in the Australian Google Play. I thought of changing but am afraid of being stick for 90 days. I am stupid but I can't understand why an app for foreign tourism entry is mainly only available in the country that foreigners are travelling to.Mon, 01 Jun 2026 13:01:49 +0000I have not started it yet- I will do so once construction starts and I can post some photosMon, 01 Jun 2026 13:00:08 +0000I am astounded !!Mon, 01 Jun 2026 13:00:06 +0000Their was an International agreement - the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) - negotiated between the US under Obama, several other nations and Iran in 2015. It was not perfect, such agreements rarely are, but it was working. Let us take the gloves off shall we: Trump tore it up, probably for three reaons, 1 as a distraction from the drip, drip, drip of emerging evidence of his paedophile antics before he entered politics, 2 because both he and Benjamin Nethanayu need war to suit their personal political agendas (in Trump's case linked to reason 1), in Nethanayu's case because it is his only hope of clinging to power and avoiding imprisonment, and 3, the hoary old meme of Trumpian and right wing US politics, it was the product of the Obama Presidency, and nothing achieved by that uppity N**** can be left to stand! Neither Trump nor Nethanayu give a toss about peace in The Middle East.Mon, 01 Jun 2026 12:59:25 +0000That is true for normal electrical faults, but lightning is a different beast. A fuse or normal circuit breaker protects wiring from overcurrent, but it is not designed to guarantee personal protection from a lightning surge. A Residual Current Device / Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker is better for shock protection, but even that may not stop the first instant of a lightning surge. So a breaker not saving him does not prove much; a lightning-related surge can be faster and more violent than ordinary domestic protection is designed to handle. But one thing is fairly certain: holding a phone connected to the mains while wet, barefoot, and grounded was not a good thing to do during a lightning storm.Mon, 01 Jun 2026 12:57:42 +0000Many thanks and i will follow your advice The lawyer's advice seems very sound so farMon, 01 Jun 2026 12:56:46 +0000Good grief. The whole marriage was a sham, just a marriage of convenience. Being a closet lesbian, she was feart that the typical, bigoted Scottish voter would hold that against her on her rise up the political ladder. When she says she didn't really know her estranged husband, she's actually telling the truth. The reason why she didn't know him is what she's battling to hide.Mon, 01 Jun 2026 12:54:09 +0000You sound like a moron.Mon, 01 Jun 2026 12:53:36 +0000
