Hurricane Helene
These hurricanes are becoming more frequent and more powerful because of warming ocean waters. Do you disagree? -

HSBC Global Money Debit Card
Yup... If you already have an HSBC account its handy... I've used it all over. But, Wise is also very handy.... I link both to Apple Pay and have found both useful... It really depends which currencies you wish to use - as HSBC Global money does not cover all currencies and neither does Wise. -

Billy Eilish's "Birds of a Feather" - is it better than anything by the Beatles?
I enjoy the music and I can relax to it. I also the big band music of the 1930s and 1940s as well as traditional jazz. I am not so keen on modern jazz from the 1960s though. -

Thailand’s Business Ease Ranking Plummets in Asia-Pacific: Survey
Possibly will have little effect in the medium term. You only have to see what 'western' politicians are doing to their economies to have doubts about the outcome. Of course there has always been corruption in high places; with characters the likes of Horatio Bottomley. But I would suggest that many of those who in past times went into politics later in life after making their mark in some other sphere, did so with a relative disinterest in the paltry remuneration it then offered. Nowadays, politics is often seen as a life-long, well-paid career opportunity by young people graduating from university where they studied the subject. The motivations are likely to be somewhat different. -

Getting a credit card
Of course the bank would say no, but if you were to present a bank book used as secured deposit to immigraiton, how could immigration tell? in my BBL book, it just looks like any other termed deposit book with regular interest payment in, no withdrawal out, just how immigratin like your accounts to be untouched -

Bus Crash Claims the Lives of Two Bank Employees in Bangkok
It looks like she got hit before entering the U-Turn, by a bus that was making the next right turn. Like I said earlier, I am guessing she moved across the front of that bus from the left lane, or from the middle of both lanes (anticipating the bus was U-Turning also). I find it hard to believe she was just sitting in the lane waiting to U-Turn, on a motorcycle, that just makes no sense. -

You do remember that Trump lost Georgia by 12000 votes. That was .0012% of almost 11 million of the state's population. A few votes can make a big difference. -

Bus Crash Claims the Lives of Two Bank Employees in Bangkok
You are correct... 'no reference in the article to her riding into oncoming traffic'... but the description of events certainly implies that is exactly what the motorcyclist did - as others have pointed out 'oncoming' can mean many things... ... i.e. if crossing a road, there is 'oncoming traffic'... the word is not specifically referencing travelling in the opposite direction to the flow of traffic which you seem to imply. Nevertheless, it appear the motorcyclist turned into a lane with 'oncoming traffic'... or would the term 'incoming traffic' be better ??? or approaching traffic.... Thats the semantics dealt with... ---- The incident itself. Either the motorcyclist pulled out in-front of the bus after making a U-turn. Or, the motorcyclist was slowing to make a U-turn and was hit by a the bus. The article is not completely clear which. -

Project 2025 - What Is It?
“Pornography should be outlawed,” Project 2025 declares, without describing the punishment awaiting offenders. The Heritage Foundation did not respond to an inquiry. “The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.” -

Bus Crash Claims the Lives of Two Bank Employees in Bangkok
Are you thinking the bus was also making the U-turn and the U-turn lane was a 'dual lane' U-turn, the bus hitting the girls on the motorcycle ? Or, would could it be that the lane into which the motorcyclist was entering upon completion of the U-Turn was a 'two lane road' in which the bus was in the right most of of the two lanes and 'rear ended' the motorcyclist who'd 'entered that lane' upon completion of the U-Turn... No tit for tat here - just interested in your thoughts if I have misread the report and my version (based on what I read) is incorrect. -

Pick-up Truck Collides with Ice Cream Vendor's Sidecar, Killing a 70-Year-Old Man. Lampang
Not picking sides here, but are these sidecar things even legal on the road? I mean, I nobody follows the rules here, but can anyone just covert a motorcycle into one of these without any certification and then register them? -

Just another way to keep the masses distracted and division intact. They can tell you what celebrity is sleeping with who. But probably haven't a clue what their local, state, or fed level representatives voter for the last 2-4-6 years. Probably don't even know their rep's name ... Som nam naa -

Pit Bull Attacks & Kills 67-Year-Old Woman Cycling in Pathum Thani
Not the old it's too hot chestnut. Whenever a foreigner defends Thais lack of exercise it means the foreigner is also lacking in the exercise and walking department and are trying to justify their own laziness.
