I dont trust him. I see no evidence of racism though. He's absolutely packed Reform with minorities. Do you have any evidence of this racism or are just throwing around the usual baseless slurs that leftists use when they've run out of arguments?Thu, 04 Jun 2026 03:36:39 +0000Just saw this and was curious as I use a Note 13. It took me less than 3 minutes to download and have in my phone. Easy. Thanks for getting me off my a**.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 03:35:47 +0000Lots of tourists who might have come to Thailand have been heading to Vietnam instead, where beer's much cheaper, especially if you're willing to drink the Bia Hoi. Increasing prices here will only drive more budget-conscious tourists to Vietnam, or Cambodia or the Philippines.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 03:34:27 +0000What about it? Those things can't be eliminated with Tomahawk missiles and smart bomb sorties. We've already proven that. So now what? Limited ground forays into coastal areas won't do it. It would take several divisions of troops, with full invasion -- and with all the casualties -- to maybe partially succeed; and sanity (I hope) will prevail in nixing that scenario. No, maybe Congress will give Trump the cover he needs to do the only reasonable thing -- declare victory and retire. He already appears to be leaning that way, in spite of a new batch of neocons, like Graham and Bolton. Trump is not stupid -- just crazy.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 03:34:23 +0000Agree with your post, even more so with this part.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 03:32:42 +0000Orange short shorts guy ends up being a Brit? In the other thread a bunch had him pegged as a Scando. Thai bargirl " you drink too muttt". What a drunk.......Thu, 04 Jun 2026 03:32:10 +0000Legal perhaps. How much longer it will be tolerated is a different matter. It would be pretty easy and a great distraction to whip up the populace against shady foreign bar owners who follow the letter of the law but offend Thai morality. The Israelis who got citizenship and are buying up businesses are a case in point. It's technically legal but violating the spirit of a law often gets the law rewritten. Ridding Thailand of foreigners who sell their daughters' virtue would be an easy task if the correct campaign was undertaken. I'd work on that campaign for free, just to play spoiler.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 03:31:50 +0000yes you got it right 100% that Hongi cable is Linear TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane), for me it's the first time I ever see in use! every charger I have used have strong cables.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 03:31:15 +0000Is he applying this to the UK until they legalise freedom of speech again and drop the racist 2 tier system?Thu, 04 Jun 2026 03:30:38 +0000There is some truth to that. Lammys racist 2 tier recommendations were in 2017 but you could argue it preceded that as well. The vile Starmer Just picked up the ball, strapped on a nitrous jetpack and ran with it.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 03:29:03 +0000Happened to me to. I saw an old colleague, we chatted on messenger and then decided to connect on Facebook. But I got the same answer as you. 'It looks like you don't know...' Well we had known each other for 40 years and we had mutual friends in Facebook. We both tried several times and finally it worked. The Facebook software is full of bugs.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 03:28:49 +0000officers attempted to search the man, What were they looking for, since he wasn't wearing much clothing he can't have been concealing much than he came into the world with.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 03:28:48 +0000The Hongi cable is not that bad, it's mid-tier, certainly a lot cheaper than the premium cables. that cable is part of a cheaper sub-optimal mechanical design (loose internal tolerances), then combined with repetitive torsional stress during handling, caused the defects you have seen. Unlike the Hongqi cable (which leaves empty pockets around the conductors wrapped in loose tape), premium cables use dense, pressure-extruded rubberized fillers (such as specialized EPDM or vulcanized elastomers) that are forced into every single crevice between the copper cores during manufacturing. I have this MG Charger that is really high quality, and the cable has this rough texture that is not sleek and shiny like a typical PVC jacket. the BYD free charger also has similar cable quality, but it's thinner than the MG charger cable, even thou both are the same copper sizes. ⚠️ CAUTION ⚠️ Wwhile the outer jacket isn't torn, the internal geometry of the conductors is certainly compromised. This uneven bending can lead to localized microscopic fracturing of the fine copper strands over time (class 5 strands), increasing resistance and creating localized thermal hotspots. The cable should ideally be replaced, or at least monitored closely for heat buildup during a charging cycle. my final recommendation to you: really change that cable or the full charger.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 03:28:33 +0000You’re making no sense at all.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 03:27:41 +0000By no means. If you do not have the appropriate station licence, transmitter licence(s), and operators' licence, you too could be criminalised. Not to mention import permits for equipment, and all duty paid. Although, a hefty fine is more likely.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 03:26:14 +0000This place correctly diagnosed a blocked particulate filter on a Pajero some years ago when the main dealer could not. Name is Chang Na Garage. https://maps.app.goo.gl/xmtHnfL84tvBcT4K6Thu, 04 Jun 2026 03:25:28 +0000Thu, 04 Jun 2026 03:24:20 +0000And the tariffs are just another tax because they are paid by the end consumer, not by the manufacturer.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 03:24:01 +0000SubtracterThu, 04 Jun 2026 03:22:55 +0000Thu, 04 Jun 2026 03:22:35 +0000Most legitimate brands audit their supply chain quite rigorously. It’s the smaller buyers who don’t have a clue where and how their products are made. They rely on agents and factory declarations. So yes it happens, but not to the extent the US claims.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 03:22:10 +0000It's working fine on my Redmi note 13, Android 16.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 03:21:51 +0000
