sounds like a big nothingburger. With all of the prostitution happening all over Thailand I wonder why they went after this place.

OK, who's got links? I've see the Chad Warner dick pics. I wonder who other 44 are... https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/jul/05/afl-launches-investigation-after-naked-images-of-past-and-present-players-shared-online-without-consent

I guess there are also provisions in insurance policies that say they won't cover incidents that happen when the victim is intoxicated or has drugs in their system.

France has been segregating people from it's former colonies in ghettos for decades with very little in the way of opportunity for them. And plenty of suppression by the authorities as well. So it's not a surprise that people with little to lose explode into violence against a state and police apparatus that has been holding them down for so long. This has happened several times.

The one across the street from me just keeps raising their prices to an almost unsustainable extent. I hope the one in Thailand is a bit more reasonable.

Apparently 48 cases is a big surge. But I guess the key takeaway is that it's still floating around out there in Thailand https://www.thaipbsworld.com/thailand-sees-surge-in-monkey-pox-cases-in-june/

Talk about serendipity! Congrats. Sounds like a great time.

maybe use a VPN?

Hidden Agenda starts next week.

is there a reason why you aren't putting all of this in one thread instead of making new ones?

I have seen some speculation - I think from Andrew MacGregor Marshall - that it might be smart for MF to allow themselves to get squeezed out this time so they can win an overwhelming majority next election. I think that presumes a new constitution being drawn up to get rid of all those military-aligned Senate seats i the meantime.

they've really gotten big in 5 years. It would be nice to hear what they're all doing now

as with pretty much every country that has a large middle class and a reasonable amount of education And given the state of the world and the general economic precarity of a large portion of the population it seems exceedingly sensible for people to be having fewer children in most places

are there really homophobic straight people visiting those places? I'd think that it would be a live and let live sort of attitude

I have flown DL a few times in the past several years. Their planes are a little more comfortable than this US competition (on short haul domestic routes anyway). Their crews are pleasant. They are one of the few that still provides seatback entertainment rather than requiring you to use your own device connected to wifi. And my flights have been on time. Although they have had some pretty big issues with various outages at ATL which is their main hub. If they offered direct flights on the routes I fly I would much prefer them over AA, but having to connect in ATL adds a lot of time to my trip when I can just fly AA nonstop.

that is quite a meticulous system! I suppose once you get used to it, it's second nature. Is that for a day or do you replenish your pockets every time you go out?

QR gets high marks because their business class "suites" product is quite good. But other airlines are certainly catching up in that department. I think people also like DOH airport as well. Their lounges there are pretty spectacular. Skytrax isn't exactly known for objectivity so there's probably a decent amount of cash changing hands. I like ANA a lot too. Will be even better when they finish replacing their older seats with a better product. Their business class is fine except for the complete lack of storage which I make it a point to complain about every time I fly with them. 🙂

I agree that LGW to New York and LA seems like a recipe for disaster. Too much competition already on those routes. This doesn't really sound serious to me. Since there are no new A380s to be built it will be interesting to see how long these planes keep flying. I'm guessing that spare parts and maintenance will be the biggest issues for most carriers. Given the current pilot shortage issues, large aircraft like this will be important for the industry. And with the 777-X so far behind schedule there's going to be problems for several years to come.

for me it's usually about 24 hours one way. So at least 2 weeks and more like 4 makes it worthwhile

fill out their customer service form and you should at least get some extra miles compensation. Better than nothing

Was Dick really visiting girly bars? This is completely off-topic, but Tim Newton's Sunday YT show with Steve Rosse is entertaining mostly because Steve is a pretty good story teller.

I just came across this place on Twitter. It's in Osaka https://izakspa.com
