"On April 10, 2001, a foreign national from Barbados, was facing the end of a seven-year relationship with a woman he had been living with in Chicopee, Mass., and while the relationship had been on and off for months, it came to a full stop when Marshall broke into her home and shot a man to death in her kitchen. Police found the foreign national in Springfield the next day and arrested him. He has a final order of removal from 2008 and will be deported". https://x.com/ICEgov/status/2059712546303590470?s=20Wed, 27 May 2026 19:21:59 +0000Cool story.Wed, 27 May 2026 19:19:05 +0000This story absolutely makes you wonder about every one of the child street sellers you see on the streets in BKK at midnight. Thai authorities explicitly warn foreigners not to give money to beggars, claiming it only supports organised human trafficking. Yet, despite their warning, they do little else to end the exploitation. Unfortunately, this only allows the traffickers to continue their heinous practice. This is a serious crime that requires genuine (not token) enforcement, and appropriate well publicised punishment so that a clear message is sent to those who try to abuse children in this way!Wed, 27 May 2026 19:12:55 +0000Mini PC will work, but I don't recommend buying anything less than one with an N100 CPU fitted....and that will cost you. For example, the Beelink 12 Pro is 18000 baht. Ridiculous. The cheaper ones have relatively weak and old processors, from as far back as 2016. https://shopee.co.th/-Official-ศูนย์ไทย-Beelink-BT3-X-มินิพีซี-Intel-Apollo-Lake-J3355-สเปค-RAM-4GB-DDR4-ROM-64GB-mSATA-SSD-i.910339061.25586870533 6000 baht with a nine year old super weak processor. You have been warned 😊 If the performance becomes frustrating, there's nothing you can do about it. Best to get something with a bit of headroom. Personally, I would go for an ex business device. More powerful overall.

If you are around London, the coast, or rivers you also get a lovely breeze. Nothing beats London during this time.Wed, 27 May 2026 19:02:24 +0000Autonomous Advanced Protocol Self Navigating Flange Deployment UnitsWed, 27 May 2026 18:52:42 +0000Can you name some good things about Cambodia? Thinking of dumping my wife.Wed, 27 May 2026 18:44:26 +0000I have been using a grounding mat since early last year. Within a few weeks, I found my sleep was noticeably deeper - and I couldn't attribute that to anything other than placing a grounding mat on the bed. It was a relatively small outlay for the grounding mat for what I consider is a big benefit so I'm very happy with it. I would wholeheartedly recommend grounding mats to anyone considering one. There is one thing you need to consider. I use my grounding mat in New Zealand and that is relevant - as the grounding mat must be plugged in to an earthed power socket. In Thailand, I don't remember ever seeing an earth socket in power points, certainly there weren't any in the apartments I lived in, or my place of work. The alternative to plugging the grounding mat into an earthed socket is a cable which runs from the mat, out the window, with a rod at the end which is placed into the dirt / ground outside. The grounding mat MUST be earthed either via an earthed power socket or a rod physically in the ground to work.Wed, 27 May 2026 18:43:49 +0000So you support the idea of saying the Lord's Prayer before council meetings? I didn't really understand your answer. Do you or don't you? Like it or not (and you clearly don't), the UK is a multicultural society and that is part of what makes it so great. It was a 30s verse which was immediately then recited in English. All it means is "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression." A good swearing in thing to say really. "Respect the laws and customs of England"? Which law did that break exactly? You would be absolutely welcome to do that. Thai Buddhist temples welcome people of all faiths, and as long as you are respectful they are more than happy for you to pray in your own faith. Bad example Bazzer.Wed, 27 May 2026 18:33:47 +0000It' s the LTR visa, not an LTV.

When I had the runaround from Thai Airways regarding refund for cancelled flight in 2020 (voucher or 6 months to refund), my UK issued credit card then credited my account within two hours of sending them the airline cancellation notice.

If you come to live here or your born here in England you should respect the laws and customs of England. Would you expect to recite the lords prayer in a Thai Temple ?Wed, 27 May 2026 18:24:38 +0000He'll do an AI image of himself on a body builder's body ripping off a Superman shirt and all his MAGA sycophants (off to Google to look up what that means MAGA numpties) will say "see, he's Superman, no health issues here!"Wed, 27 May 2026 18:22:28 +0000Because there are idiotic boneheads on this forum that give you a thumbs down no matter what you post. You know who you are, grow up and F off already. Just really feel badly for the child. How terrible to start out life with a molester. Hopefully she can make something of her life.Wed, 27 May 2026 18:13:47 +0000"Zorina later told a friend she felt uneasy about the luggage switch" Complicit, are you kidding? Why in the world would you say "o.k. Mr. African Brit Rapper, sure, I'll check your bag you check mine". Complete nonsense. On another note do those Moulon Rouge Patong strippers (AKA hookers) have work permits? How are they allowed to do that in Thailand?Wed, 27 May 2026 18:04:12 +0000I’ve used it mainly because it lets me switch between crypto and regular money easily, which is handy here The games load fast, and withdrawals have been smooth for me so farWed, 27 May 2026 18:00:22 +0000Geez, I have that same red bier Chang shirt..........I only break it out at Christmas as it's the only red shirt I own.

Consumers are currently paying roughly 20% more for groceries compared to four years ago.Wed, 27 May 2026 17:22:32 +0000It is far from the easiest and most convenient country to live in. The bureaucracy and restrictions are a major downside. I can get a one year multientry visa to Cambodia for $300 with no 90 day reporting, no TM-30 filing, no paperwork proving where I live and details about my landlord, and very little hassle. Work permits are also easy to get as well as the lack of a completely overreaching definition of "work". Getting a bank account is also simple without the absurd hoops that a foreigner has to jump through in Thailand. Yes, there are some very good things about Thailand, but there are also some serious downsides.Wed, 27 May 2026 17:17:49 +0000Looking at the data, the only thing that has really spiked is gas. https://www.bls.gov/charts/consumer-price-index/consumer-price-index-average-price-data.htmWed, 27 May 2026 17:17:29 +0000Im lost, where does the jews fit in this discussion?Wed, 27 May 2026 17:12:46 +0000
