Joe Biden Ranked 'Worst President' in Modern History, Poll Reveals
I would recommend counseling but your condition is incurable. Like the others of your cult on the forum. -

Macron and Trump Meet in Paris
The MAGA supporters on this platform are only mirroring trump. An indication how low social dialogue in the US will degrade further over the next four years. -

Do you wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle in Thailand?
Had I fallen off - it might have helped. A guy died the other day when he slipped down steps and banged his head.... Before you jump on that with your moronic gas lighting and suggest I am implying we were helemets when at a hotel - thats not my point. My point is, when riding, there is a greater risk of falling off even at slow speeds - thus wearing a helmet is sensible. Though I understand you may not consider you have much to protect. -

EV Owners Frustrated as Samui Ferries Restrict EV Transport Over New Year Period
I posted real and up to date information on the burn rates, heat release from EV fires and latest guidance on how responders deal with EV fires. It has nothing to do with “on this vessel” Maybe try reading the links I posted, which are real facts and not just believing only your opinion is the truth. -

Taxation Registration
I am going to Tax Office somewhere in January, why in January because then I will receive my year statements from my European Banks and thus the Tax Office can immediately Fill in any Tax Form if they deem it necessary and I will pay the Tax Due there and then. AFAIK, you can file your taxes with TRD up to end of March without paying a late fee charge. -

People who support Cashless Society
I wasn't trying to condemn a "flawed" system. I was simply responding to a post someone made about typical delays at the register. I could tell similar stories about people who get in line at the grocery store, and then finally get out their checkbook to write a check for the total. By the time some of those people fish around in their purse for their checkbook, write the check, annotate the check in the check register, and subtract the total from their supposed balance, they've wasted everyone's time. And that's the case if we assume the check wasn't written on a bank in Outer Mongolia, in which case the store manager will quickly be involved in a shouting match with the customer, all while there are 10 people in the line waiting to buy whatever. Or the people with multiple coupons, some of which have probably expired. And then there's an argument about those. So no, I don't have a problem with a cashless banking system. But I also think there's a place for cash and I think there's room for improvement. As for using Apple Pay to pay? I even had a problem with that one day. We finally got it to work. I think that day there was some sort of a worldwide outage in the Apple Pay system. -

Do you wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle in Thailand?
Correct - I didn't fall off, neither did the Boy - helmet didn't help - you still seem to fail at the concept of taking precautions though... something passed down to you through generations I suspect... Rubbish, many foreigners have been driving and riding here for decades - there's a learning curve but its not hard. You just hate all foreigners so want to blame everyone else but the Thai's when a mistake occurs. The motorcyclist that clipped me was turning right, from my right, from a smaller sub-soi into the main soi I was riding on - he didn't look or he just pulled out and timed his 'merge' very badly.... thought I'm you'll still find reason to blame a foreigner... The irony of a dunk driver making this statement cannot be understated. I do agree with you - when driving here, there is a possibility that I am involved in an accident where someone is injured or killed - thats the risk we take when driving anywhere. We do our best to avoid that, nevertheless, it remains a possibility. Thats why I am fully licensed, have dash-cams, don't drink drive and follow the traffic laws - it avoids liability, but also I don't want to hurt anyone, so as you pointed out - its important to also adapt and see that other riders and drivers can do anything at any time.... Still, its not always possible to avoid things. In the car I've been hit twice while stationary - nothing I could about that.... just careless drivers not looking. What did I learn ? there's always more to learn - There was reenforcement that wearing a helmet remains sensible as any idiot can still ride into you at any time regardless of how we anticipate or ride defensively. I have also learned from your post that there are extremely dumb people out there, so extra caution is still as important as ever. Why wouldn't they ? you don't think the police are capable of being fair and seeing what happend ? I've been here long enough to already know that in these situations the Police have been fair. I also have dash-cams on the bike and car (FWD and Rear facing). Had that Thai boy been injured, it would have been because he pulled out of a side road into my bike - 100% his fault, without any doubt, it could easily be proven. Had he been 2 seconds earlier, he would have pulled out into the bike in front of me - I've seen that happen too. I've seen motorcyclists pull out and drive straight into the sides of cars. On an almost daily basis my Wife or I (whoever is driving) will have to brake hard to allow space for a bike to cut in (when they are cutting us off, pulling out in front of us or overtaking us and nipping in through the tineists of gaps with oncoming traffic on a single lane soi).
