I think the topic is coffee, and that wouldn't include whatever those bags of chemicals happen to be. 😉 -

American Stage-3 Cancer Stoner Seeking Grass-Friendly Hospice
I'm a long-time orbiter of LoS, and worked for STOU from 1984 ~ 1986, while living in Rak Si (we called it "Roxy") in a nice old terribly hot wooden house run by a couple we referred to as "The Witch" and "The Zombie". Visits to the Kingdom from 1969 ... last trip there with an old pal and his family in 2024. I moved to Indonesia in 1988, and have been a Communications Worker as well as ESL "Edutainer" here. Im a lurker on the aseannow site, as I seem to have little in common with the majority of contributors. One of my old ESL teaching pals, a California stoner in his late 50s operating a surfing camp in Krui, West Lampung (Sumatra) has recently been diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer and it seems to be spreading rapidly. I suspect the "turbocancer" derived from the "safe&effective" bioweapon clotshots, but have kept my mouth shut. He's in a wheelchair and suffering, as the medicos are miserly with painkillers. He has asked about Thailand because he knows my history, and I am thus writing to seek possible leads to a facility where he can stay stoned on grass while whiling out his remaining days (not long, I'd surmise). I hate to say "hospice" but that is essentially what it would be. No sterile hospital setting, thanks - we have plenty of those down here. Any suggestions? I know that there was a discussion of retirement homes for wealthy foreigners (wrinklies death watch), but have heard nothing about a facility that would take care of you and keep you zonked on mary-hoochy. -

Tariff pause - Trump IS an idiot !!
That's the problem Trump rrecently addressed, in a nutshell. He was asked by the press about the tariffs and the pause, and he said that "someone had to do it." Years and years of "business s usual," which is what you seem to be suggesting, got the country into the mess it's in today. The budget deficit and the national debt are never really addressed. Instead, people talk about a lot, but end up doing nothing. No one acts. Well, Trump acted. Will it work? Who knows? But I think there's some chance. Business as usual is no longer an option. -

Tariff pause - Trump IS an idiot !!
We know how the tariffs were calculated and there is no rhyme or reason, or fairness, equity or common sense to it. Unless it is simply to say 'I have power and now you must negotiate'. He even said countries are groveling to avoid tariffs. Then backflips. Humiliating. Laughable. Crazy. Sad. As has been said this impacts real lives in very significant ways. Business decision making needs certainty, employees not sure about the future, currency and stock markets in turmoil. Real people losing their savings. Damage has been done to trust and faith in America as a steady hand, as a trustworthy partner, as a consistent good faith player, as a sensible decision maker, and as a fair and decent player in world affairs. I hope this is an Emperor's got no clothes moment - it won't be for Maga supporters - maybe it will be for the world as a whole though in the past it hasn't been the case.
