  1. I hope the OP will post back with his/her result. Interesting question, but I suspect that many variables will figure into the result. Like location, political clout of the parties, what's in the agreements, etc. Sadly, I'm not forecasting good news. Seems like any case of burglary, where the OP's homeowners insurance would be the normal recourse. Then the insurance company can seek reimbursement (or not)
  2. If she has genuine health issues (and I'm not doubting she does), my heart goes out to Kate. 'Couple of years ago, I had a health issue and I lost half my energy, my ability to climb a ladder (no balance), and most of my sense of humor. If you didn't know what caused it, it would have been easy to think it was a mental condition. But it wasn't. I just felt crabby and craved naps all day. 2-1/2 years later, I'm still not 100%. I've just gotten used to feeling like poop. And I still don't crave public interactions except among friends. No way someone in that condition should be put in front of the public until she gets to feeling better. And people need to cut her some slack.
  3. That's a nice looking car. Post back with any Thai pricing and availability info you may come across.
  4. I'd suspect the ex-works value of that pork may have been less than zero in Brazil. For example, if it was condemned after inspection. Probably easier and cheaper to stick it on one of those freezer ships to almost anywhere in Asia than to dispose of it legally in country. And if they can sell it on... Bonus!
  5. "Green" toilets that never flush turds away, "green" dishwashers that take 2 hours and never get the dishes clean, along with "green" washing machines that that take 90 minutes and still leave your clothes smelling funky are probably worth tens, if not hundreds of thousands of votes. Not for Trump as much as against Biden. They're kitchen table issues. As frustrating for lefties as they are for conservatives. Especially the female voters.
  6. I remember when gerbils were off limits on TVF. But I can't for the life of me remember why. My brain must have leaked over the past 12 or 13 years. Probably God being compassionate, because it seemed pretty stoopid.
  7. Good catch. I guess my pundits (3 of them, all right wing- but different venues) mis-spoke, It's 2-3 months, not 2-3 weeks. Still, I suspect he may make different decisions once the election is done and dusted. Removing Willis wouldn't have been a prudent political move for his re-election, regardless of how correct it would have been.
  8. I understand the judge's election is 2-3 weeks away. In a blue county with a lot of Black voters. It wouldn't surprise me if that figured into his decision, that he could let the charade go on for another few weeks before pissing off the Black and the Blue voters in Fulton county by yanking her. Especially after her race baiting in church. I halfway expect to see him making different decisions after the election. That based on his pretty unflattering proclamations about Ms Willis' behavior. In any case, she needs to be on her best behavior after that election.
  9. Sounds fun to watch. But I'd let them drive a block or 2 before disabling the car remotely. They'd be less likely to walk that far for retribution.
  10. No difference other than a few vowels Huge difference in which side of the meat grinder they'd be on if they went home and got drafted. I don't understand the Russophobes that would prefer the Russkies be kicked out of Thailand, to fight Ukrainians. Seems counterintuitive. Unless the only motivation is hating on Russkies. Which seems to be a thing on here.
  11. Interesting that Trump was really talking about a bloodbath for the US auto industry when addressing tariffs on Chinese imports assembled in Mexico. But the lefty media carrying water for the Dems makes it into something else completely. "Those big monster car manufacturing plants that you're building in Mexico right now and you think you're going to get that, you're going to not hire Americans and you're going to sell the cars to us? No. We're going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line, and you're not going be able to sell those cars. If i get elected. Now, if I don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole -- that's gonna be the least of it. It's going to be a bloodbath for the country. That will be the least of it." https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2024/03/16/trump_if_i_dont_get_elected_its_going_to_be_a_bloodbath.html
  12. Here's an honest, though admittedly very pointed question about the studies. Did they break out the victims to differentiate between long Covid and long Vax? Because my symptoms started the day after my 2nd Pfizer and over a year before I got Covid. So color me cynical if they don't break it down.
  13. Other than Dems, does anyone think it's a good idea to let S. American gang members into the country unvetted? With Haitian gangs to follow? Not hard to forecast blood in the streets when the "newcomer" gangs fight it out with each other, and with the indigenous gangs.
  14. He needs to send you some photos with the lights out. Some of the cooling systems could double as light shows. Gotta admit, I'm not a gamer. Never have been. As a consequence, I cut my computer costs by half, buying last year's CPU. If I paid double for this year's, I'm still behind the 8 ball in 6 months or so. With fingers crossed that my socket will accept next year's CPU.
  15. IMO, he's right. But I'd add these 2: 1) Don't come to Thailand and try to make it just like back home. Not until you understand why things operate the way they do. And you never will. 2) If you hate all things Thai and the Thai people, do yourself a favor and live somewhere else. It'll be doing all of us a favor, but especially your ulcer.
