From marriage extension to retirement: single query.
'Multiple personalities'. That's an excellent (even tactfully diplomatic) way of putting it. -

Whistleblower Testifies Titan Sub Tragedy Was 'Inevitable' Due to Ignored Safety Warnings
What the occupants signed has no bearing on the actual risk. As the OP describes, the behaviour of carbon fiber under repeated pressurizations was not known. A test, is not simply applying pressure, it includes analysis to determine the outcome of that pressure on the structure, particularly relevant for laminated materials and especially so for the where different critical structural elements are fabricated from different materials each with their own distinct material properties. Pure hubris. -

Honest Question: How is Trump a 'threat to Democracy'?
OK, here’s a nonaggressive answer from someone who’s somewhere to the left of the Green Party. Negatives about the Democratic Party: they are as up to their necks in corporate donor money as the Republicans are, and thus are beholden to corporate interests. I would add, however, that Democrats generally retain some sense of civic responsibility; present-day Republicans have gone off the deep end in their fealty to corporate money. Trump is a threat to democracy because he intends to bring the Justice Department under his personal control (for purposes of prosecuting people he doesn’t like). While he can’t directly fire judges who don’t follow his orders, as he’s also threatened, he can direct Congress to impeach such judges. As he has already demonstrated, he can kill legislation by making a few phone calls to his congressional allies. And he intends to replace tens of thousands of career bureaucrats in the federal government with his own loyalists. US democracy is based on the separation of powers (executive, legislative, and judicial); Trump has no interest in this and would seek to control all three branches of government. He has expressed admiration for strongmen, leading me and (based on polling) most other Americans to believe he seeks to emulate them. And if I may be “mildly aggressive,” your original post requests, “no Russia collusion nonsense.” I would suggest that your news sources may not all be on the level, as there is broad evidence of Russian interference in the 2016 election, including contacts between Russian intelligence agents and Trump campaign staffers. This in and of itself does not pose a threat to US democracy, but your mentioning it in your original post tells me that you might be starting out on the wrong foot here. -

I Love Donald Trump
This is all caustic hyperbole and why non-americans shouldn't even be commenting on our politics. Do realize that the United States has a lot of weight to throw around and people are genuinely interested and should be to a certain extent But you know nothing about the country and nothing about the politics What's worse you're just lazy. Plug in a few words into a search engine and wow you have Trump policy which has been out there for absolutely months Meanwhile a large criticism of Kamala Harris is that she had no policy platform since forever. She's nothing about nothing. She is literally a cardboard figure propped up by the war machine, swamp and the blob You're interested in Trump policy have a look https://duckduckgo.com/?q=trump+policy+platform&t=fpas&ia=web -

Whistleblower Testifies Titan Sub Tragedy Was 'Inevitable' Due to Ignored Safety Warnings
Previous passengers knew. These paseengers knew. They assessed the risks and took the gamble to fulfill a dream. They lost. It can happen, but they had the right to make that choice about their own lives. https://www.businessinsider.com/read-oceangate-waiver-titan-sub-passengers-lists-numerous-death-risks-2023-7 -

I Love Donald Trump
From Yahoo news: ABC News has again insisted that no topics or questions were shared with either Vice President Kamala Harris or Donald Trump, and their respective campaigns, in advance of last week’s presidential debate. The network’s statement came after it declined to directly address allegations—made in an allegedly sworn statement, purportedly by one of its staff—that it helped Harris in the debate. The truth will come out, but it will be post election. Wake up -

I Love Donald Trump
as a non american looking at the US elections from the outside, the orange convicted felon has NO actual policies ONLY concepts of policies. The fact that you replied to someone with "I did not ask you about Kamala Harris" is absolute proof of how brain washed you've become and are in fact a member of Chumps cult. As far as Harris' policies go, you can easily find them on the internet. Stop relying on Fox and the other media outlets that only report with bias on Chump. Try opening your mind to both sides instead of just being led by the nose by the cult leader. Harris smashed Chump in the debate. All I can say is that if Chump wins the election America and the rest of the world will regret it. Also when he loses the election he will be spending a very long time in prison after he is sentenced for his 34 felony convictions and then found guilty and sentenced on his other criminal trials. -

Today I met the first farang returning home because of exchange rate
25 was a reference to USD, that was the rate at which THB was pegged for decades, prior to the 1997 crash. Against GBP, 35 would be the corresponding rate, a level it started to get close to, pre-covid in 2019. (GBP/THB reached 37 in July 2019) If 25/35 sounds stupid then you don't understand currencies or economics. I came here to live permanently in 2004, even at that time I did my planning based on 35, not the rate at the time....why would you! https://tradingeconomics.com/gbpthb:cur
