Elon Musk Accused of Spying on Amber Heard Amid Cheating Suspicions
Musk, in my opinion is a genius, and he's also crazy and capable of some dangerous stuff. I hope there's legal controls which stop him from unlimited financial support for trump. X been off my radar for some time. -

What do you buy online mostly ?
Same as @madone for me, too. I've been having very good luck with ordering on TikTok. Even ordering some grocery staples that way. Very quick delivery, too. TikTok sellers less cheating than Lazada or Shopee. Not no cheating, just less. -

Windows 10 support ends in a year . . .
Yes, But what happened was. I bought a genuine win 95 o/s from a very popular computer store in Pattaya. back in the day. ( still popular today) But when I went to activate the license. it come up with a message ( cant remember the exact words ) but it said the license had already been used. I contacted Microsoft in Bangkok ( Bangkok number ) had a chat with a very nice man and he asked when and where I bought it. I was very happy to give the name of the shop. Now I'm not 100% sure of how it got sorted, along time ago now, but think, he asked me to try and activate the license again when i was on the phone to him, all was fine after that. After that , I have never bought a genuine windows operating system again. -

Patong - The Wake
Well LL, I have suggested on several occasions that the title of the thread should be changed, because there is no longer a wake in Patong, because it's in full swing for this time of the year, and some. Having said that, what would the suggestion be for a new heading: – "Patong – the resurrection", or "Patong – alive and kicking". I'm sure you can come up with something that would please everybody, including the mods. I did ask the question if anybody knew what the new building complex was, which was going up opposite Jungceylon, and nobody answered, but I have found out for myself: – it is, wait for it, something much-needed in Patong, it is a shopping and entertainment complex, right opposite the original Jungceylon which is a shopping and entertainment complex, which is opposite Tops, which is a shopping and entertainment complex.....hmmm, Patong needs another one of these like a moose needs a hat rack! This especially as the restaurant scene is more than adequately catered for (sorry about the pun) in Jungceylon and the "second part" of Jungceylon has a ground floor area which has a food court and a few other food stalls, but is never busy. Then take the Tops complex and although the ground floor is a popular food court area, and one which I frequent fairly often, the rest of the complex is pretty dead, so quite why anyone felt the need to build this other complex, Buddha only knows? Getting onto my night out on Tuesday to celebrate an old friend's birthday and his visit to Patong, the night at Blue Beach Café and Restaurant was excellent and a birthday spread was laid on by the owner, Jit, which was also excellent and the Australian beef cut (whatever it was) was superb and she is a generous and gracious host and deserves all the success possible. On that note, by 9 PM the whole restaurant was packed full, so she's obviously running a top-notch establishment, and long may it continue. After that a few of us ambled up Bangla and it was surprisingly busy for this time of the year, so as I mentioned at the start of this post, the word "wake" doesn't really seem to be a fitting description now. We stopped at Smiley Bar for a few drinks and that was busy, but what was surprising was the popularity of Soi Freedom now, as opposed to what it has been in recent times, because it has had a complete overhaul, a roof has been fitted and the bars have been refitted and tidied up in some cases, and it has become popular with tourists, as witnessed by the few parties that passed by into the depths of the Soi in the time I was there. I'm not a full on drinker and I only had one beer that night, as well as a few glasses of wine at Blue Beach, so thought I would take my leave at about 11 PM and amble on up Soi Sansabai to my condo, which took a bit of doing because the injury to my back has affected my ability to walk strongly, so it was more of an amble/shuffle, and by the top of the Soi, I was beginning to feel some discomfort. The traffic is still bloody awful in the main, so quite how the now crowded streets of Patong are going to cope with any extra traffic which the new entertainment complex will attract is probably only known to the town planners if indeed there are any, which I suspect not. So unless somebody drops a bomb on the place and completely rebuilds it, those of us who reside here will have to put up with this crowded nonsense or move to another part of the island.......just a thought, I seem to recall in the early days that the traffic flow was a two-way affair and that seemed to work okay, until someone had the idea to change it to a one-way flow, and look how that has turned out! -

Kamala Harris Defends Policy Stance in Heated Fox News Interview
As far as I can tell it's one or the other. Could be wrong but I don't think the US has a preferential voting system. I said before that if I was a US citizen there is no way I could vote for this complete idiot to be the President of the United States. I don't like the conservative right but I hate this left wing woke ideology. -

If Trump is re-elected what does it say about the I.Q of the average American?
Well he's said he loves the poorly educated. I kind of look at it differently. He's a criminally corrupt con man trying to dodge prison and be the dictator King of America. Americans are human. They make mistakes just as other nations have done throughout history. Many Americans think it can't happen here. We're very close to it happening. Still time to stop it.- 1

Its too expensive I may leave
Thanks for the info. I didn't know that one could register at more than 1 hospital. I will ask about this at the local SS office. Im the same as you re turning up after lunch. No way will I wait all morning. Complete waste of time. Why bother with throwing away 50k? I suppose thats not much if its 50k a year. But not 50k a month -

Haven't been to Thailand in 11 months and still feeling nervous about re-entry...
In 2023 I spent about 5 months total with a mixture of tourist visa and visa exempt (+ extensions) I left in November 2023 and haven't been back since. In that time I've been to Vietnam, Laos, Philippines and most recently spent 3 months in Japan, which is where I will be flying from. ....yet I'm still feeling nervous about my upcoming trip flying into Suvarnabhumi, entering visa exempt (60 days). Irrational PTSD perhaps, but should I be alright given the length of time out of the country? -

He was great on the latest town hall meeting. All women and they loved him. Break out the Kleenex. You’re going to need it.
