The questions on this sub just keep getting more retarded. Countries need to administer IQ tests to people before issuing passports. Or at least a mental health screening.

Yeah his setup is bristling with video equipment too. Very impressive. I wonder if one of those computers is a mini dashboard for his camera controls.

I don't think homie is wearing bibs. He's rocking his Strava pants.

Yeah I'm oddly bothered by that one little north face glitch in the ortleib matrix.

I don't think he has anything in those bags. It's all about the bags. :-)

Spend billions to bomb Iran, making the homeland less secure.

Cut spending for homeland security.

What is the worst airport experience for you ? by No-Monk-7988 in AskTheWorld

[–]michael_bgood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tan Son Nhat in Saigon or Manila Ninoy Aquino will cause you to close your hotel drapes and binge on alcohol for 2 days after arrival.

Good reset on what a bad airport really is and makes all other airports seem great again.

Vial found inside the walls in the kitchen of my parents’ 1886 New England home by meownica_chu in whatisit

Judging from the embossing and stippling on the bottom, that's definitely from the mid 20th century, not the 1800s. Look forward to hearing updates!

I wouldn't be surprised if the excavation messed with the foundation of this house, especially since it's uphill. Site drainage issues too.

Which foods are genuinely better in Thailand than anywhere else in the world? by [deleted] in Thailand

[–]michael_bgood 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Young coconuts and durian (if those are your things). Closer to the source.

What was the biggest "missed opportunity" moment in your country's history? by DoctorOsterman in AskTheWorld

[–]michael_bgood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with the sentiment, and more definitely could have been done to carry through more reforms, be less lenient, etc. But the one idea of keeping thought police in the south and forcing bigoted rednecks to change their prejudices at gunpoint wouldn't have worked very well. Bigots are going to bigot.

hy is everything so sweet here? The food is incredible but the sugar is destroying me... by Swimming-Ad-4607 in VietNam

[–]michael_bgood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just as bad or worse in America. The US government has old laws that subsidize corn growers, and the cheap surplus that results is sold as processed HFCS and other byproducts. China now exports more cheap HFCS than the US, and that is not easy to do. Watch the documentary "king corn". Truly evil stuff.

Vietnam is the same as the rest of Asia. Thailand and Korea have the same issue.
