The Tim Walz thread.
He looks like Pepe The Frog. Not a good look for the VP candidate. He looks like he's about to zap a fly out of the air with his tongue. Excellent meme material tho'! 🐸 🪰 -

School Bus Fire Claims Multiple Lives and Injures Young Students in Rangsit
Thailand has the regulatory framework in place for coach safety, However, the prevalence of corruption and graft in Thailand's transportation sector is a serious obstacle to ensuring the safety of private charter coaches. While there are regulations in place, enforcement is often undermined by bribery, lack of accountability, and resistance to reform. Addressing these systemic issues is crucial for improving road safety and preventing future accidents. Real progress will require a concerted effort from both the government and civil society to root out corruption and prioritize public safety over profit. Looks llike there’ll be a public outcry – but I wrote about this about 10 years ago – in fact the situation may even have improved – but when the starting point is so low……… -

Field trips don’t hurt students, poorly-maintained transport does : PM
Poor training and acceptance of safety measures/laws/rules by parents, relatives, teachers, RTP officers, government officials, can and do hurt students. -

Thai Airways flight runs off runway in Bangkok storm scare
Nice to see that all the self appointed experts have come out to offer their expertise. Why? The pilot made the landing under difficult weather conditions with no injuries. Have you ever landed a heavy aircraft in a thunderstorm? If you took the time to read the metars, you would see that the landing conditions were not ideal. VTBS 141300Z 34008KT 3000 TSRA FEW005 SCT018CB BKN030 BKN070 25/25 Q1006 RERA BECMG TL1350 5000 TSRA= VTBS 141230Z 27005KT 200V330 9999 TS FEW020CB SCT035 BKN070 29/24 Q1005 TEMPO FM1245 TL1400 27015G25KT 4000 TSRA= It is quite obvious that there were some serious Thunderstorms and and Rainstorms underway. On that day much of the region was experiencing heavy rain and challenging changes in wind direction. Until the data is reviewed to determin if there was a wind shear issue or if there were other forces that came into play, criticism of the A 350 flight deck crew is unfair and malicious. How much time have you spent flying heavy aircraft into and out of VTBS in monsoon season? Yes, weather was the critical factor. Pilots have to fly into some difficult weather during monsoon season. Stopping on a slick runway with difficult winds during a thunderstorm isn't easy. Diversions are not easy during monsoon season because all airports in the region will be facing similar conditions. Why? Are American pilots special, like immune to weather conditions, and infused with magical flying skills?- 2

Feel sorry for AN posters who bought electric
Can't answer about being flooded, as on high ground, but we just had heavy rain tonight. And well, we all know EVs can't get wet, as they explode. So I guess we'll be looking to get a Celerio this week. I just hope the insurance covers the EVs, and they don't consider it an act of GOD / BUDDHA -

'Damning non-answer': Vance refuses to acknowledge Trump lost the 2020 election
From the Hollywood Reporter on Walz' comments and challenge to Vance: "Walz later brought up the fact that Trump’s attempts to overthrow the results of the 2020 election and the subsequent actions of Vice President Mike Pence were ultimately the very reason that Vance was standing across from him on Tuesday night. “When Mike Pence made the decision to certify that election, that’s why Mike Pence isn’t on this stage,” Walz said. “What I’m concerned about is: where is the firewall with Donald Trump? If he knows he could do anything, including taking an election and his vice president’s not going to stand to it, that’s what we’re asking you, America: will you stand by your oath of office, even if the President doesn’t?” https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politics-news/vice-president-debate-tim-walz-jd-vance-trump-jan-6-election-lies-1236019582/ -

'Damning non-answer': Vance refuses to acknowledge Trump lost the 2020 election
The only moment from the VP debate that mattered Vance’s “damning non-answer” on the 2020 election exposed the true stakes for democracy in 2024. Oct 2, 2024 At the end of the vice presidential debate, Gov. Tim Walz asked Sen. JD Vance a pointed question: Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election? Vance’s response: “Tim, I’m focused on the future. Did Kamala Harris censor Americans from speaking their mind in the wake of the 2020 Covid situation?” There is a clear right answer — that the 2020 presidential election was in fact legitimate — and Vance refused to offer it. It was, as Walz immediately noted, “A damning non-answer,” one that showed viewers who JD Vance is and what he stands for. Ultimately, every issue discussed earlier that night comes in second to the fundamental question of whether America’s democratic institutions deserve to endure. On that question, Vance truly is radical, and his exposure as such was the only truly important moment of the night. https://www.vox.com/politics/375285/vp-debate-vance-walz-democracy-2020-who-won -

To retire "in comfort", fine. What about your children?
Retirement 'savings' plan ... in Thailand, that's some funny ass sh!t right there. Teach them how to invest, and if Thailand, here's a hint ... ... Thai Land One thing that is guaranteed to appreciate, as they're not making any more. 55 certainly isn't too late to start, depending how long one plans on living. Wife & myself, investing in land, and about 15 yrs ago, making me 55 +/- back then ฿720k turned into ฿3M in less than 10 yrs ฿1.036M recently, has turned into ฿2.4M, last 3 ish yrs, Of course, it's always better to start earlier. Really doesn't take much to get started, just live within your means, control & manage your finance, and build equity ASAP, with all your spare money, instead of trying to impress people who don't give a rat's ass about you. -

You and your Thai Wife of 20 years.
I have been with my Thai "Wife" for 36 years , just got around to marrying her last month, as the divorce came through from my British wife ,I only really done it ,as not sure how long I have left, and thought it would be easier for her to sort out things when I do pop off. She is a really great wife ,Trustworthy ,Honest,hard worker , a saver, not a spender,does not tell lies, even when I want her too,does not smoke, drink,or gamble ,except flutter on lottery ,everything you would want in a wife ,maybe not as exciting as some of you'd would like , but they are the ones that would steal everything you have and not leave you a pot to piss in , over the years have heard many stories of men who have lost the lot, consider myself very lucky .... regards worgeordie
