Kamala Harris Defends Policy Stance in Heated Fox News Interview
And this is just your opinion as a professional interviewer. BTW, just how long have you been a professional interviewer, and which company do you work for? -

DTV and 5-year driver's license
Congrats! I just got my 5-year (almost 6) license yesterday too. I'm on a DTV. I had to sit the test and pass driving exam again since my old temporary 2-year license had been expired over 2 years ago. I didn’t expect to get a full license at all, was a big surprise! -

Kamala Harris Defends Policy Stance in Heated Fox News Interview
Kamala Harris 'Dominated' Bret Baier in Fox News Interview—GOP Speechwriter Behavior analyst and body language expert Dr. Jack Brown wrote on X that Baier was expressing an intent to shut Harris down when she pushed back on this. "Bret Baier's repeatedly extending his arm in a palm-toward-and-down dynamic is a nonverbal effort to tell VP Harris to 'shut-up', 'you've said enough about this topic', and 'I have the floor now'," Brown wrote. "This body language display is commonly exhibited by misogynists and manipulative individuals who are not interested in dialog, discourse, or others' opinions." https://www.newsweek.com/kamala-harris-dominated-bret-baier-fox-news-interview-gop-speechwriter-1970432 -

Car Cuts Off Ambulance Twice While Transporting Patient from Khon Kaen to Chonburi
Where does it say it was not an emergency? However, it does say:-"... the ambulance had been driving normally, with his blue lights on" What kind of an idiot would want to overtake an ambulance with its blue lights on? I think you are just trolling, or at best a Thai driver! Welcome to my "Ignore" list! -

AIS/Gomo 12 month sim card
It is not. GOMO sims are normally "no expiry" and valid for at least a year. Unfortunately, in my experience in Thailand, AIS has the fastest speed of all networks. -

A vote for Trump is a vote for Putin / Orban / Kim Jong Un
"How many of those warheads are actually functional? The corruption in the Russian military has exposed huge deficits in maintenance." The ultimate, anonymous source of this 'exposure' is perhaps the same as that which told us in 2022 that Russia was about to run out of artillery shells, that the Russian military was demoralised and about to disintegrate, and similar disingenuous 'intel'. "It is estimated one-third of the Russian defence budget went into Shoigu's pocket alone." Who estimated it? And how did they arrive at this figure? "Russia's only aircraft carrier, Admiral Kuznetsov, was launched in 1985. Thirty years on, it is still not operational. It is in drydock in Murmansk, for yet another round of repairs." Aircraft carriers are no longer the queens of naval combat. They make beautifully expensive targets for modern precision missiles, whether airborne or aquatic; and require a dense screen of smaller vessels to protect them. They are of use only to powerful nations that seek to project their military power far from their homeland, far across the oceans. [Study the case of US Navy versus Houthis] A land-based aerodrome can be better protected; can be put out of action for a while, until repaired; but it cannot be sunk. "The success of Russia's attempted modernization of its military is illustrated by a recent test firing, when the rocket blew up in its silo." Please explain why the U.S. government, until recent sanctions kicked in, was purchasing Russian-made rocket-motors for its missiles. https://www.nationaldefensemagazine.org/articles/2022/8/5/us-kicking-russian-rocket-engines-to-the-curb "IMO the sums spent on Ukraine are a good investment." An excellent investment for the mega-rentier-capitalists heavily invested in the armaments industry. As an example, their capital gains amounted to nearly 1,000% over the course of the Afghan War. They needed another war to replace it. But for the average American? Was this really so? "It would cost a lot more to have US boots on the ground, defending NATO countries." There was no need to defend NATO countries. The boot was on the NATO foot. That is, until Putin, increasingly regarded as a weakling by many of his countrymen for failure to take effective action against the ongoing massacre of ethnic Russians, did what NATO had been hoping he would do. But the outcome, to be achieved by sanctions, has not been what NATO expected. Circumstances have changed since the Soviet economy was destroyed by crushing the oil price. -

Blocked sceptic tank.
I do as my blockage is still there but at least the toilet is usable. The honey truck crew are sure that the can fix the problem, but it means isolating the water supply, easy, removing the water tank, fairly easy, if they need to remove the toilet, that will be difficult as it is concreted to the floor 20 odd years ago and not put in with Rawl bolts and anchors. They will have to remove some tiles, 2 or 4 I think and possibly the wall before getting to the short pipe connected between the U bend of the toilet and the down pipe T junction from the upstairs toilet, which is where I think the problem is. They will probably have to replace that short pipe and hopefully not have to remove the toilet completely and dig up part of the floor as well. -

Living will in Thailand; suggestions requested
In practice, the most important aspect of this is that the people around you know, understand, and agree with your living will, or at least accept it. Thai healthcare professionals often follow the wishes of those close to you at the time it happens.
