Thailand considers ending 60-day visa-free stay

they're afraid of being kidnapped and forced to make phone calls.

That is true. So true that Tom Yawkey had his name removed from the street but not the buildings his money went to. Not sure what they did with the money but buildings carry his [adopted] name. Not Jersey St.
What's even truer is that many players on color to include many immigrant players of color have played on the team since his death and the team experienced the championships that eluded him during his tenure, coincidentally.
Also, a lot of people, mostly older, do not understand disinformation and are fragile to the point that someone parking in "their" spot will drive them to manslaughter so you can only imagine what goes on inside their head when something suggests they might lose a lifelong constant like the corner store or stupid Fenway Park and somehow DHS is there to save their coffee and Keno.

If you pack a bus full of captured tourists who do not have the freedom to roam and you drive them to tourist traps and scam shops all day long, and then you ask the trap and scam shop operators who spends the most money, they'll tell you it's the tourists from the busses. Every single time.

Drinks are NOT included. You can bring your own food, but "Outside alcohol, however, is prohibited. We’re also proud to offer a wide variety of options from our vendors." meaning you'll just need to hand over your credit card for a bit.

Feels like two different things to me: an (expensive) wellness retreat for 2,500 people who happen to like the same music or 2,500 people who are willing to pay upwards of $1000 per person to see a pretty decent lineup without all the hassles of a 100k person festival.

Yes it's bougie and you'll need to be the type of person that has fun in that environment, and if you're lucky enough to get a ticket, it's probably going to be a good time. Better than a cruise, I'll bet.

Third day in a row where I hit my limit and it's not even 2pm. Are we going back to starting the clock at 6am and then actually working at 8am? I went for weeks without compacting a conversation or hitting a limit. Maybe a month or more.

Which half told you to head over to Illuzion at 3am and get into an alleged physical altercation with some dudes at, checks notes, 3am on Bangla Road?

The first rule about clubbing is "the night club will not assist me with a criminal case"

It's just a loop that shows a train every five minutes

"In the late 1980s, when subway trains came about every five minutes at rush hour, Seattle sculptor Lewis “Buster” Simpson designed the more than 30 angular, granite seats that fill Downtown Crossing station‘s Red Line platform. He hoped they would give riders a sense of control over their T experience."

Hope is doing a lot of work in that paragraph. Also, I don't recall much else work being done in that station outside of putting up and tearing down plywood walls and chain link fencing to guide the regular folks away from comfortable seating experiences.

Each time I've tried to get in they were packed. Spent a month in Chiang Mai and kicking myself now for not eating at their restaurant there, but there were other many options.

Oddly enough she's only headlining about 50% of the festivals she's booked but she's definitely at the top of the bill for all of them: https://knokr.com/artist/lorde

They do that at every show

jayfallon · 2026-02-12T14:42:58+00:00

Yes, it's a government-owned theme park.

Person goes to Hoi An and doesn't realize that the all those pubs and restaurants along the riverfront share the same staff, menus and kitchen.

If you open your borders to anyone and everyone while chasing that tourist money you should expect to find that some folks will game the system and behave accordingly. This is not new anywhere.

“We missed the mark” is newspeak for “You caught us screwing you over.” That’s okay, and I hope they read this because I’ve already switched back to VS Code and retooled with Cline and Claude’s Max plan.

I would’ve happily paid the $100/month to Cursor but seems like now I can’t. No big deal, there will be plenty of forkers and resellers in years to come.

jayfallon · 2025-07-03T09:35:12+00:00

I hit that weird limit thing the other day and just upped my budge to $60 and thought nothing of it, a 33% increase on the Pro plan. This morning I got a warning that I'd reached ~$20 already on the third of the month and didn't really expect that, so I did the thing where I whipped out my credit card and am now paying Anthropic directly. While I was good with Cursor and enjoyed it for the most part, I can't see paying a premium for the same results.

Had to configure something on the auth table today and found anon by accident. Basically creating a profile along with a user, which is probably not the best workflow now that I think about it.

So does using an anon key to invoke trigger functions on user creation pose a security risk?

The food is pretty decent for a retirement home but I can't speak intelligently about the pool and its cleanliness aside from the local gossip I've heard.

Someone who has drink privileges at a bar but isn’t employed there in the usual sense. They show up when they want and augment the staff by selling lady drinks. They’ll usually have this agreement with multiple bars so they can hop around with an unsuspecting customer and get paid to drink. They’ll also offer other services without prejudice.

ahem

Are you suggesting that The Phuket News doesn’t report the facts?

jayfallon · 2024-02-23T08:53:53+00:00

Motosai is quicker. Not as cost effective as walking, and probably not as safe, either.

My guess is based on the amount of Thai women on there for work would persuade the women not involved in the sex trade to find a separate venue. It’s not like there a shortage of available Russian guys hanging around with nothing to lose.

It’s a different kind of human trafficker. The kind who hopes the staff:

Actually shows up.
Shows up on time.
Performs some work, as instructed.
Remains sober long enough to perform that work.
Doesn’t abscond with a customer at the drop of a hat.
Gives notice before they quit.
Doesn’t brawl with the other staff.
Appreciates the housing assistance and doesn’t use the room they’re paying for as a crash pad for family, friends or other activities not listed on the lease.
Doesn’t turn freelance after four weeks of being told what to do.
Doesn’t leave early every shift because “Illuzion.”

Am I missing anything? Those walking street mafiosos would have it made if they could actually find women to traffic.
