Absolutely. I arrived thinking the name “land of smiles” was just tourist marketing but it’s completely true. I enjoyed having a pint of Guinness in the random “Irish” pub in CM too. It was too novel not to.

I loved my time in Chiang Mai, I could totally imagine this happening

I have some friends that are conservative and are constantly complaining about the high tax here in the northeast, but this is the exact stuff I point to when it comes up. You get what you pay for. You couldn’t pay me to move to the south.

I’m sorry that happened to you

I’m gonna follow the lead of my Stardew Valley wife and say amethyst

I hope that isn’t one of the activist’s blood all over the place

They’ve pulled back from any sort of “death market” because they’re terrified of facing regulation.

20 year olds are adults, there is no problem in regards to that. What the hell is this waking coma you’re talking about?

People have different personalities and preferences. You might as well ask why some people like to eat certain things while others hate it.

One trick pony

What’s the maximum time you can set it off for?

Lowest or longest timer?

I hope to see this in my lifetime

I’m a programmer. There is a narrow lane of things I will trust it to assist me with, and none of that without review. I’m not worried about my job in the slightest, barring a significant leap in the tech that I frankly do not see happening any time soon.

All these people building vibe coded products are building houses of cards that are more likely than not security nightmare black boxes.

Nope, no one has achieved root access on the Xbox series consoles. Xbox one only just got rooted last month, and only the original model at that.

The issue with the majority of the Catholic Church wasn’t that they were pedos, it was that they weren’t willing to do anything about those within the church that were pedos. It’s not even limited to pedophilia, even; they turn a blind eye to many things that would cast the church in a bad light. Better to keep it in house and sweep it under the rug. I had an (adult) family member who was sexually harassed by the principal of the school she worked at. They sent everyone to sexual harassment training, including her, rather than deal with it appropriately. He was not fired.

Don’t feel bad, we all have to make tough decisions on what’s best for us and our families.

If americans succesfully blockade Iran, the regime will collapse in 1 month.

Berlin by Christmas energy

Shippers have insurance now and they don’t care about the lives of their crews

Are insurance companies willing to pay out for any ship running a blockade? They seem exceedingly risk averse.

US District Judge Darrin Gayles said Trump came “nowhere close” to showing the WSJ acted with actual malice towards him, which is the threshold for defamation cases in the US.

The standard for “actual malice” in defamation cases is that the plaintiff must prove that a public statement was both false, and that the news organisation or individual who made the statement knew or should have known that it was false or acted in reckless disregard of its falsity.

Murdoch vs Trump? Let them fight.
