So I guess if you want to risk the far more safe sport of pony trekking and have an accident just say that you were mountain biking.

Didn&#x2019;t come (all the way) down and instead of ding ding ding sounds, there was a thudding sounds like dhud dhud dhud.  Whatever it was, bus driver in the wrong or not regardless of malfunctions, won&#x2019;t bring back any of the lives lost today. And agree, that crossing, like many are dangerous af.  In general road safety has not been a priority imo for the past 15 yrs in Thai. Nor is the road responsibility by many of the road (ab)users.  Sad, rip, sorry for the families &#x1F61E;</description><pubDate>Sat, 16 May 2026 15:22:55 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>monochrome photocopies ?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394183-monochrome-photocopies/?do=findComment&comment=20510078]]></link><description>Happy you find it amusing Jack.

You think Trump persuaded Xi on the spot?  Here's the Al Jazeera one for you from your AI snippet:  https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2026/5/15/trump-says-china-to-buy-200-boeing-planes-much-lower-than-expected  Weird that Boeing haven't announced this sale as they absolutely always would. They simply said they have reopened the market to Boeing.  And neither has China confirmed it.  And he just said "planes", not even a type of plane.  Here are a few clips from the article you didn't read:  The deal &#x201C;includes approximately 200 planes and a promise of up to 750 if they do a good job&#x201D;, Trump told reporters on Air Force One on Friday. More details about the deal, such as which type of jets and when the order would be delivered, were not immediately available.  Neither the Chinese government nor Boeing issued statements confirming the purchase agreement.........Planemakers usually disclose large deals once they are formalised.  It was not immediately clear how many of the 200 planes announced by Trump represented new business for Boeing versus aircraft already in its order backlog.  And also weird that Boeing and GE Aerospace's shares fell after Trump's announcement. It's almost as it that wasn't a very good deal (if it even happened). Again it is in the link you posted but didn't read.</description><pubDate>Sat, 16 May 2026 14:41:56 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Trump Heads Home Empty-Handed After Xi Plays Him For A Fool</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394615-trump-heads-home-empty-handed-after-xi-plays-him-for-a-fool/?do=findComment&comment=20510062]]></link><description>How about you don't know what you're talking about.</description><enclosure url="https://assets.aseannow.com/forum/uploads/monthly_2026_05/image.png.cca371684cfc46dcc95372341ea23fbb.png" length="56358" type="image/png"/><pubDate>Sat, 16 May 2026 14:29:47 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>UK Backs Plan to Ease Deportation of Migrants</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394595-uk-backs-plan-to-ease-deportation-of-migrants/?do=findComment&comment=20510061]]></link><description>How on earth can "ease deportation" be seen as benefiting illegals?
