Hiting lots of roadblocks including missing a court deadline on BBC's motion to dismiss the case.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 04:02:39 +0000Iran's frozen funds total approximately $20 to 23 billion. The 300 billion being thrown around is a proposed fund. Trump made a statement that the USA would not be contributing to that. Reporting says funds will probably come from the Gulf states. But that part is from a Trump statement, not from within the MOU, so consider the source.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 04:02:38 +0000We have the replacement for the BBC.

The war war was started on February 26 2026 when the Israel and the U.S. bombed Iran during negotiations. An illegal war of aggression. Quit with your disgusting lies.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 04:01:22 +0000Even if he was able to release all the weights he might suffer crippling diving embolism leading to paralysis or death.

"Did he think anyone would want to speak with him?" "When you realize everyone hates you." "COMPLETELY ISOLATED." "America first... and America alone." "Total isolation from the world."Thu, 18 Jun 2026 04:01:16 +0000Agreed. "Completely",would include dismissing Moody's research as to costs for a start.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 04:00:18 +0000That IMHO is hard to say. I think unquestionably Musk is the driving force behind Space-X. Having typed that, Space-X has some very very amazing and incredibly technically capable people working at the company, enabling the company to achieve the almost sci-fi instructions that Musk instructs them to design/implement/operate. I personally believe, that if Musk were to no longer being involved, that without his demanding push, that the company would lose its 'edge'. But clearly that belief is no more than a judgement equivalent to speculation by myself.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 03:58:30 +0000It's probably assumed that after breaking the law, he would hire a Grab or Bolt taxi to drive him to the station to settle his traffic ticket. The guy broke the law. For his own safety and the safety of others, that mobility scooter should have been impounded. He's probably back on the road right now vying for his Darwin Award. Obviously he drove it on the road to the station.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 03:58:27 +0000They're not going to lose.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 03:58:09 +0000Ukrainian rent boys arson Kier Starmer Putin's fault.

I guess when Thais riding their e bikes, Thai using their side carts, it's OK, I give this guy credit he isn't sitting at 75, a burden got enough balls to do what he got to do instead of wasting his day away sitting around scratching his nut on the sofa watching TV, BravoThu, 18 Jun 2026 03:57:12 +0000Thu, 18 Jun 2026 03:57:08 +0000Apk's do have a certain risk of malware if downloaded from unknown sources.

Born Paule‑Monique Izzi in Saigon in 1936, she met King Father Norodom Sihanouk after winning a beauty contest in 1951. Their marriage in 1955 marked the beginning of one of Asia’s most enduring royal partnerships. Together, they witnessed Cambodia’s independence from France, the turmoil of the Khmer Rouge era and the eventual restoration of the monarchy. Throughout decades of upheaval, Queen Mother Monineath remained a steadfast presence. She served as president of the Cambodian Red Cross in the late 1960s, endured years of house arrest under the Khmer Rouge, and lived in exile before returning to Phnom Penh in 1991 to a hero’s welcome. Her role has extended beyond ceremonial duties. She has been credited with supporting peace efforts and strengthening Cambodia’s diplomatic ties, particularly with China. Kin Phea of the International Relations Institute of Cambodia described her as “a symbol of the long‑standing traditional friendship between Cambodia and China.” Ambassador Youk Chhang noted that her biography is inseparable from Cambodia’s modern history, calling her “a living record of the nation’s triumphs and tragedies.” He highlighted her influence as a role model for women and girls, and her quiet but significant contributions to diplomacy. Since King Father Sihanouk’s death in 2012, Queen Mother Monineath has continued to appear alongside her son, King Norodom Sihamoni, at national events. For many Cambodians, she embodies continuity between past and present, resilience through hardship and the enduring hope of a better future. -2026-06-18Thu, 18 Jun 2026 03:54:58 +0000With sincere apology, Ted, I am dealing with other things currently. Do keep in mind my background in considering my responses. Currently trying to keep up currently while reading "an American History of Cuba" by Ferrer.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 03:54:31 +0000I usually stick to loose shorts and a light cotton shirt, but on days when I want something a bit sturdier for Bangkok errands, I mix in a couple of pieces of techwear I picked up because they handle heat and sudden rain better than my usual stuff. It still feels casual enough for a beer run but holds up way longer than the bargain-bin shirts I used to burn through.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 03:54:24 +0000I'd like to hear more about this registration. Was it issued by the District Transportation Department, manufacturer/dealer plate, etc. District registration plates may imply legal usage for some purpose or use. 7-11 two person EV's have registered plates and street legal - they are smaller than a golf cart. So there might be some gaps in vehicular laws.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 03:54:18 +0000........ and once established, continue and make the initial driving test also online, or permit the use of an autonomous vehicle......Thu, 18 Jun 2026 03:53:34 +0000Argued about a transfer and will now probably die in prison. I'd guess his family, if he has one, will also not benefit from the pension he wasn't far off from receiving. Idiot. Just another Thai hothead. Act now, think later.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 03:53:31 +0000So you agree?Thu, 18 Jun 2026 03:52:47 +0000Those people driving mobility scooters on the road should have valid drivers licenses and follow the Thai traffic laws like everyone else is expected to do. Instead it's "Damn the traffic - full speed ahead." I watched a video of one of these idiots running a busy unmarked arterial intersection from the side street. A car on the arterial highway traveling at highway speeds T-boned him. Amazing because the guy was just "eyes front" and full throttle across a highway. I'm assuming he's no longer residing on this earthly plane. This people on their mobility scooters are all potential Darwin Award winners I'm afraid.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 03:51:19 +0000Start with the taxis, then spread to the hotels. Then do the same in every other resort in Thailand. Then realise this was all a dream.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 03:50:56 +0000Not a real registration plate.
