Pit Bull Attacks & Kills 67-Year-Old Woman Cycling in Pathum Thani
Did you miss the second half of my past where I said I see dozens of Thais out walking their dogs after 5pm? It's too hot in the middle of the day for dogs (and humans) but in the evening everyone is out, walking dogs, jogging, exercising. But yeah, just ignore that part of my post so you can call Thais lazy, good for you. -

Biden Criticizes Trump on ‘The View,’ Calling Him a 'Loser' with No 'Redeeming Value'
What if he loses? What if Melania leaves him ? What if he loses more cases? What if he is sentenced to a serious penalty post election? What if he has a health crisis since he is 78 1/3 years old?- 1

Israel and Hezbollah Exchange Blows in Pre-emptive Strikes and Retaliatory Attacks
Nasrallah was refusing to discuss a truce with Israel and refused to not link his position to that of Hamas. It looks like Israel cut the strings of Iran's puppets. If Lebanon was smart, it would use the opportunity to rid itself of Hezbollah, the state within the state, foreign presence controlled by Iran that has a military better equipped and funded than the Lebanese military. It is Hezbollah that will not allow Lebanon to negotiate a peace treaty with Israel. Syria still dreams of the day when it will absorb Lebanon. -

7-Eleven Introduces Convenient PromptPay QR Code Payments Nationwide
I think this facet of the 'cash vs cashless payments debate' revolves around bank charges. For many business (i.e. that take debit and credit cards in the UK) the banks take a charge each time a transaction is made.... there is growing 'push-back' amongst small business owners against cashless payments as this eats into their profits. That said, cashless payments such as PromptPay do not include additional bank charges for the vendor, so this push-back is not necessary. On the otherside of this argument is the use of credit cards to gain points and air-miles etc. We use our credit card in Thailand as much as possible and some of our yearly flights out of this (and lounge use etc)... But, someone will point out, this is not free - somewhere in the chain the banks are making money out of the card use and its ultimately costing the end user (in aggregate - i.e. everyone else is subsidising my flights etc - because the cost of doing business is more expensive for everyone when banks charge 3% for card use, unless that 3% is added on top of the sale price of whatever it is we buy at the the time)... (I wanted to use our card to buy a car, but they were going to charge 3% - bummer - that would have been a good few flights !) PromptPay = good & convenient (and free if I'm not mistaken). Apple Pay = simple and very fast (but I wonder what their % take is). Credit / Debit cards = Bad and devalue money (with 3% charges all the time) -

Three more prominent Republicans ‘put country over party’ and endorse Harris
Probably 90% of Democrats are on the verge of mental breakdowns because they believe the conspiracy theory that the actual "reincarnation of Hitler" is going to throw them into concentration camps in 2025 if he becomes the US president. Therefore "he must be stopped my all means possible" because "you can't let Hitler come to power." Well, it may become a self-fulfilling prophesy in that case maybe. 🤔 -

Returning to Thailand from Mexico and bringing my mid sized dog
@Polar Bear Thanks! I have to bookmark your very comprehensive reply. May I ask about feline?
