Diet Coke contains about 42 mg of caffeine per 12 ounces, which is a stimulant that can increase your heart rate.  As he has been repeatedly filmed and photographed dozing off in public during high-profile events, was he then maybe anxios? He obviously didn't drink any Coke before.</description><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2026 02:27:03 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Brit Loses Visa After Phuket Tuk Tuk Assault</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1398012-brit-loses-visa-after-phuket-tuk-tuk-assault/?do=findComment&comment=20582225]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some folks just do not belong in this country....they have &lt;deleted&gt;e for brains.]]></description><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2026 02:26:59 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Six Monks Killed by 11-Year-Old Driver in Mukdahan Crash</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397911-six-monks-killed-by-11-year-old-driver-in-mukdahan-crash/?do=findComment&comment=20582224]]></link><description>These children drove by my house today!

Will the person do it again?  But that is presumably something that the court considers, or at least I hope they do.  I would point out that there is no suggestion that this guy will be &#x201C;let out&#x201D; in the sense of immediate release. The article talks of him serving a minimum of 7 years.</description><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2026 02:25:59 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Aussie Murder Suspect Faces Thai Compensation Talks</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1398003-aussie-murder-suspect-faces-thai-compensation-talks/?do=findComment&comment=20582222]]></link><description>I am more inclined to believe "her friend" enticed her to come for easy money.</description><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2026 02:25:42 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Brit Loses Visa After Phuket Tuk Tuk Assault</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1398012-brit-loses-visa-after-phuket-tuk-tuk-assault/?do=findComment&comment=20582221]]></link><description>72 lashes for this incorrigible git.

A lot of girls tell there parents they going to see a friend or look for job opportunities in the big smoke.

My query: "analyze :I always wondered why Buzz Aldrin's space suit had smooth soles, but the fortprints it left were ridged."  Buzz Aldrin (and Neil Armstrong) wore removable lunar overshoes over their smooth-soled pressure suits. These outer boots featured distinct ridged soles for traction. The astronauts intentionally left these heavy overshoes on the Moon to save weight for their return journey to Earth, explaining why their preserved space suits appear smooth.  The Outer "Moon Boots": The integrated suit boots were smooth, pressurized pressure-garments that protected the astronauts from the vacuum of space. To handle the unknown, abrasive lunar dust, they wore specialized outer boots called Lunar Overshoes. The Ridged Treads: The bottom of these overshoes were constructed from blue silicone rubber with horizontal rungs (like a ladder). These ridges were engineered to provide necessary traction in the lunar soil (regolith). Weight Considerations: The lunar footprints people see in NASA photos actually belong to Buzz Aldrin, who stepped out shortly after Armstrong. Because NASA needed to maximize payload for rock samples, the astronauts jettisoned their bulky overshoes on the Moon's surface. The boots brought back inside the Lunar Module were the inner, smooth-soled ones. Lunar Physics: The ridged treads left incredibly sharp footprints because the Moon's soil is exceptionally dry, jagged, and airless. When compressed, the fine dust particles lock together perfectly to preserve the ridge marks without wind or water to erode them.</description><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2026 02:24:37 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Aussie Murder Suspect Faces Thai Compensation Talks</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1398003-aussie-murder-suspect-faces-thai-compensation-talks/?do=findComment&comment=20582218]]></link><description>She followed a well trodden path , there are thousands earning money in Pattaya   .Very   few are there without their parents knowledge.

Agree with the above except the 'sending' bit. I think we all know 'family' IS the culture of Thailand and a young person born to subsistence rural farmers with little or no education will find ways to contribute to the household. If they're introduced to the sex industry and see the money and party compared to working in a factory or field, some if inclined will opt for the party. Let's not forget many of the young people see white foreigners as rich and good-looking adding further to the attraction. Money is the central theme here and yes he should be forced to pay everything he has and more.</description><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2026 02:23:45 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Geriatrically Speaking: How do you know when a girl &#x201C;comes on&#x201D; to you?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397995-geriatrically-speaking-how-do-you-know-when-a-girl-comes-on-to-you/?do=findComment&comment=20582215]]></link><description>If I'm out on the prowl (venue serves alcohol) or just knocking around town, pretty easy to tell if I initiate, or position myself so she can, initiate a conversation, once past 'hello', pretty easy to tell if she's 'like minded', and on the prowl herself, or open to some smiles.
