Went to a pretty famous (and good value) thai restaurant. https://guide.michelin.com/th/en/bangkok-region/bangkok/restaurant/lay-lao Not my pictures, but this is what we had: Their specialty squid dish [image: ?u=https%3A%2F%2Fdanielfooddiary.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2022%2F11%2Flaylao13.jpg&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=9a4e75785ff1a14b0c36f3de83f6e304c197d3a0e908a71ec107b2dc0e25b80c&ipo=images] Deep fried pork [image: ?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2Foriginals%2F9c%2Fe3%2F54%2F9ce3544435c5902d0dab662be32c7810.jpg&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=1f9b587272f06ba9f48fb6a502552b93ffaacb14b9c99ba2555e43a7de877dc6&ipo=images] Chicken green curry [image: ?u=https%3A%2F%2Fhot-thai-kitchen.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2014%2F10%2FUntitled-design-26.jpg&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=d0312f944f9444654c9184263eb3424aa25af49f125135479305e9502a68bf8f&ipo=images] That food plus 4 non-alcohol drinks (fruit smoothies/Thai ice tea/water) = USD$30 total

@Mik said in Well, it lasted one or two days...: Don't want more to die? Give up the hostages and the Hamas fighters. Easy.

@Jolly said in Turley - Scaremongering "The End of Democracy": All great democracies and republics deteriorate... This I agree with.

If you chaps keep this up, it's going to be Skynet time.

@LuFins-Dad said in Dog runs 4 miles to get help for owner: Or a fvcking chihuahua Might, but it’d take several days.

So traditional!

@LuFins-Dad said in Inflation in Argentina is down to 8.8%....: It’s not rocket science… [image: B8OfFRd83mY9Ksl_MNdJzzD_IS0vw8U8mivxhxSfzrVIfF-sCERXhgxJ5oURL41Upp0BNK-trEr53GW5T3t3r2_eTZDchg5l2HSfFap5wLH-0NGHqe5vfAP4llQea5Je5rfpBmxy389hhZL6Q3REkSNdFoA4VDIbWRhqOACT7bYvRbyFjd73G4RQi_wr-Q] Need to state what is that chart about. No unit on the Y-axis.

The bottom line is this. Cases are “important” based on whom you ask. And they’re “divisive” when that person’s important cases don’t come out the way they wanted them to. Those are stupid distillations of whatever data the authors had already laid out. A case is divisive if the electorate considers it so, which means a case is divisive if it's culturally loaded. The only case in the article where the three liberal judges did not align, is one with no obvious cultural loading, about a state requiring companies to agree to be sued there if they do business there. As for whether a case is considered "important", why does it matter whether anybody considers a case important? Why is that even an idea the piece needs to present?

As to item 3 there is however this: https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/03/business/gazprom-posts-first-loss/index.html

@Doctor-Phibes said in Outlawing SUVs: @George-K said in Outlawing SUVs: You have 3 kids, you might want a 4 bedroom house, but you don't need one. Kids? Unless working, a waste of time and money Farm. You need a truck farm...

Haven't heard cause of death. I suspect they'll post him.

And....Where do you find CABG patients? In the CABG (cabbage) Patch, of course!

It would be very disappointing to get food poisoning on the morning of one's execution. Of course, on some days things just go from bad to worse.

@Jolly said in Meanwhile, in Chicago...: Oh well, look at the bright side...If the earth's North Pole continues the direction of change and the earth's current rotational wobble increases, Chicago will be on the equator. I should add that this is about ¼ the size of the group I saw a couple of weeks ago at the same location. I believe I commented on it.

He probably shouldn't have used the word 'failure', as that isn't really what he meant. Still, the media's coverage of what he said is bollocks. As to his point - everybody agrees with Churchill in hindsight. At the time it was apparently a lot less obvious. I wonder what Tucker Carlson and MTG make of the decisions made by Neville Chamberlain and American isolationists back then. You could get some really cheap groceries in 1930's Germany, after all.

Bill & Dave will again roll in their graves.
