No surprises. It would likely have upset the carefully crafted plan

It's long been the case that these have been "illegal" and I think their proliferation on the stalls of Sukhumvit is in someways just a bit super tacky, and wholly unnecessary for the most part. This current action is purely a tourist event however, the markets of Ban Moh and Klong Thom are still stacked with these if that's what you are after. There's another aspect to this though. The quality, as available in Thailand is abysmal, most products being inferior replicas of the original. I mean here the original electrically powered version as opposed to the original in its more, er, human state. Build quality, durability and power are three key areas and most locally available products simply do not compare. It seems likely that much of this stock is simply shipped cross border from a junk factory located in China. Hand carrying from a more liberal country whilst it might still be illegal, though I'm not sure if stated for personal use should anyone question it, is a superior alternative. In an IoT world bluetooth and even network connected toys are a reality and provide another level of control, and I've not seen those on Suk.

Moved from the sub soi off 11 to a sub soi off 19. Otherwise much the same.

Sorted, number 3 on one and number 8 on the other 😊 Like a lot of people we probably only use one car on any given day depending on whats happening. Such an idea definitely fits in the FAU category.

So the large industrial drones they have pictured appear able to carry about 1kg of liquid. To make an impact on the problem I would expect to see a plague of these things covering the entire city. Seems that doing something, no matter how ridiculous is preferred to, taking professional consultation and formulating a plan that, a works, b, is practical and c, restores confidence. I guess that's not going to happen so instead they take the elephant hunting with a pea shooter approach.

Oh quite, I was doing the same thing after I sent the original. My son weighed 10kg when he was 10 months old. Maybe they should use drones to fly babies around, keep those pesky prams off the sidewalks!

A drone that can carry 10kg 😂 That's a big sucker! Even 1kg is tough until you get into the pro range

A million baht per franchise is tiny tiny. A million dollars might be more like it, especially today

Sarn't Major 'Shut Up' Williams, Windsor Davies, 88. Great actor, RIP.

Some very telling words there: Behind these walls, behind these doors, it is vice that reigns, here is sin at home. At the same time one feels magically attracted to these places, because here the glamour, the eroticism, the sexuality, the sensual lust is celebrated - supposedly. Great stuff indeed, I rarely venture to Pattaya these days. After a friend who lived there died I've had no real reason to go, and I don't miss it. With two teenage kids and all the imagery that goes with living in a Thai university I really can see no need. Okay so it's not on the beach which I suppose is the one thing it doesn't have. For the rest I'm good where I am.

Yes, but fixable. My friend me him spanner monkey velly goos 😂

I've seen that movie

It's hard to guess if Canada would be a better or worse choice than Australia. My guess is that's a first world type of problem not really relevant to the issue. Canada does have a large immigrant population of multi ethnic backgrounds none of whom seem poised to invade the USA. That said there are likely one or two whack jobs on Canadian soil ready to make good with her family. Irrespective of whether the lass in question really does fear for her safety or if this was just a princess tantrum the simple fact she got out and hopefully stays out, and safe, should be seen as a beacon of hope. I think pretty much every revolution starts with just one voice saying "Enough of this shit!"

Can't think this helps greatly in these cases.

You have to wonder if some people have come to consider cats a more balanced political force than anything else they see right now. Oh, and yeah, Mueller, hmm 😊

Historically America had laws that specifically did just that.

These are documented and seem well reasoned and backed by resources that "appear" legitimate and to a large extent FACT based. They do seem to follow with the graph published earlier, which was from PEW research. These apparent facts were found at illuminateourworld.org which might well be a product of satanists and other assorted woo-hoo's. I doubt ALL their references are though.

One persons abuse is an other's good parenting.

Who really cares. It's not like illegal immigration is such a big issue, or at least it would seem it shouldn't be. Given such data you have to wonder if making such a big noise about it isn't some sort of smokescreen for other really bad shit.

Not sure she can consider Australia safe. They have raggers there too and for sure one or more will view her apostasy as an affront to their pure and virtuous clean living and will retaliate by slaughtering her, Kashoggi style no doubt, in the purest belief they are doing the right thing and will be rewarded in some non-existent afterlife with the invisible sky fairies.

Many thanks for the list. The Orville and HF0 are my two

There's some interesting stuff on the WP page. At Jupiter New Horizons was managing 38kbps, at Pluto the data rate was down to 1kbps. Add another 1.6 Billion km and I guess they need to drop the rate a bit more. Note that b is a small b for bits not Bytes. Images are 12 mega pixels with lossless compression down to 2.5 mega pixels which at Pluto were being sent back 125 Bytes per second. And you thought you had internet speed issues!

Good man, stick with it. A month in you've cracked it. Especially if it was a true dead stop. Give in to some of the other urges, at least for a while. For me it was Jam sarnies and Wrigleys gum. A few weeks of that and I was essentially clean. A bit like recovering alcoholics you'll never be completely free, but free enough. I'm about 13 years in now, still get the odd times when, damn I could just go a smoke, then of course I realise I'm a non so its just not an issue. Life will be interesting the next few months, lots of things that will suddenly smack you in the face.

Aha, a meaningful and worthy topic. I would suggest that probably when faced with unwanted male advances, or even with willing partners who perhaps made somewhat demanding requests (maybe they were Greeks, who knows) ladies were known to reply with such phrases as "I'd rather stuff my snatch with crocodile shit mixed with sour milk". It probably led more than one to being challenged. It is of course equally possible that the reason for its effectiveness as a contraceptive was in no small part to its particular aroma. Could it perhaps have been this which led to a cooling of the ardour among male consorts or perhaps indicated they might try other orifices? Definitely worthy recipient of a Coss though, now how about some more?

I've never quite understood the attraction of this reverse cowgirl, I'll accept I may be in a minority but there seems to me to be so many much more enjoyable ways of coitus. Unless of course her face of joy was in part from not having to be so emotionally connected. YMMV.
