Elon Musk Sparks Controversy, Calling the UK a ‘Tyrannical Police State’
Twitter wasn't exactly a gold mine when he bought it. It has always been a failed business. It is difficult to put a value on the amount of power he has acquired from that purchase. Either way to say he failed to manage it is a bit off the mark. -

Do you always use a Condom?
This has to be one of the most ridiculous troll topics I’ve come across on AN. A group of middle-aged geezers in Thailand debating the pros and cons of using condoms? If anyone here still isn’t clear on this subject, it might be time for you to pull the plug and check out now. -

Dr recommendation for prostate radiation and cost
Ask your GP for referrals to radiation oncologists with good prostate cancer experience in your area. Costs? That's going to depend heavily on your insurance and the specific treatment plan. -

Teen and Stepfather Clash with Knives in Pattaya, Both Injured
That's rubbish. Libya has 140+ individual tribes and within those tribes and at any given time, they were feuding with each other. The feuds could be bloody and petty. Ghadaffi came to power in a military coup in 1969. From that time until his own overthrow, he suspended fair judicial process and forbid free elections. He ruled with an iron fist and publicly executing political dissenters.His government abolished private property ownership other than one dwelling, nationalized retail and manufacturing and restricted access to bank accounts, seizing depositor savings to fund his grandiose schemes. This is why there were multiple uprisings. -

Is Weed Prohibition Over?
Beyond CP, I don’t believe any of Thailand’s major Chinese-Thai business families, those controlling the country’s largest industries such as alcohol, life insurance, tourism, hotels, shopping malls, residential real estate, duty-free, concrete, steel, etc are interested in the cannabis business. These families are typically conservative and likely opposed to cannabis altogether. As for the powerful figures in uniform, those interested and involved with the cannabis trade are likely the same ones already tied to Thailand’s broader illicit drug industry. Many of them are likely dealing in large-scale cannabis operations and are mainly "exporting". However, I doubt they have any interest in entering the local retail cannabis market. With prices dropping to ฿20–฿30 per gram, there’s little profit left in retail. The domestic cannabis market has become a highly competitive, fragmented business where each player is only carving out a small slice of the pie. Given this, I see no reason why the dynamics of the industry should change. It will likely continue as it is, as any changes to the current laws wouldn’t benefit anyone. Moreover, there’s little appetite to revert to policies that would once again fill jails with cannabis-related offenders. The only group truly missing out is the government, which had hoped to eventually benefit from taxation and regulation. However, it’s too late for them to insert themselves into the equation now. As I mentioned earlier, the window of opportunity for the government to get in on the game has closed. -

Recommended VPN for Thailand --> UK?
I can't speak for the others as I've never tried them, but I've been using NordVPN for 3-4 years now and very happy with it. Works perfectly, never had a single issue, and it's pretty cheap. Main thing I use it for is iPlayer and similar UK based things. Not saying it's the best as I have no idea, only saying I use it and like it and it has worked flawlessly for all the time I've had it.- 1

How much sin sod for 28 yo single mom of 2 Bangkok suburb (Rangsit)
Actually it's kind of normal these days to do this. We did it too (15yrs ago) as did several of my friends. Now, 25 years ago not so much, back then I had a few friends pay a decent amount.
