Six people found dead after ‘poisoning’ in luxury Bangkok hotel

That would go with foaming at the mouth... -
He's married (to a woman). 😪

He got his undergraduate degrees in physics and mathematics at the University of Chicago. How amazing to come from a foreign country, be so scholastically successful, and, apparently, have time to go to the gym as well! https://www.facebook.com/kaan.baykara.7/about_work_and_education

This man surely won the Mega Millions jackpot in the genetic game of life! Take a look at all of the studies he's published! https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=xVYRaDgAAAAJ&hl=en

I was even more amazed when I found out the path of gorgeous Turkish model Kaan Baykara. Talk about being blessed with extreme good looks and brains, this man is earning his Ph.D. is theoretical physics at Harvard University! https://hetg.physics.harvard.edu/people/houri-tarazi

I wonder if his fellow fire fighters ever rib him over his good looks? Talk about being rescued by a knight in shining armor (or a shining hot body)...

I often look up some of the men I use as J/O material, often budding or would-be models, to see what they eventually end up doing. Many take careers which capitalize on their looks, such as personal trainers, realtors, etc. But some go into surprising paths. Austin Scoggin has hundreds of photos of himself online, but ended up taking on a career as a fire fighter--in Austin TX of all places (though he's from Oregon). I wonder if he picked Austin TX because of his name?? https://www.famousbirthdays.com/people/austin-scoggin.html

It doesn't seem that complicated. Some kook tried to kill Trump, gets killed himself. At least one person from the Secret Service should resign. Shouldn't happen again. End of story.

My neighbor said she hires a company to apply orange oil to prevent termites. I haven't noticed anything myself, but when I bought the property 4 years ago, it required termite treatment, and that involved tenting with toxic chemicals (no food, pets, etc.). The company my neighbor uses has only 2.3 stars on Yelp, so I called another company with 4.9 stars, which advertises orange oil. They say they only treat for actual infestations, not for prevention. There does seem to be some sense in a simple preventative care, to avoid more costly and difficult treatment later. But what do I know? Is there any sense in termite prevention? Do any of you do this?

Major Differences Between Thai Legal System and Western Law
unicorn replied to reader's topic in The Beer Bar
Well, I doubt there's anywhere a changeable, highest court is bound by its own previous decisions. In the US, the SCOTUS has reversed many of its previous decisions, including its recent reversal of Roe v. Wade. However, I'd be surprised to learn that there's anywhere in which lower courts don't have to abide by higher court decisions. Otherwise, the litigant could just simply appeal to the higher court and reverse the lower court's ruling. -
Major Differences Between Thai Legal System and Western Law
unicorn replied to reader's topic in The Beer Bar
Thank you for correcting a (highly) factually incorrect posting. Civil juries are almost unique to the US. They are extremely rare in the UK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jury_trial "...In England and Wales (which have the same legal system), everyone accused of an offence which carries more than six months' imprisonment has a right to trial by jury. Minor ("summary") criminal cases are heard without a jury in the Magistrates' Courts. Middle-ranking ("triable either way") offences may be tried by magistrates or the defendant may elect trial by jury in the Crown Court. Serious ("indictable-only") offences, however, must be tried before a jury in the Crown Court. Juries sit in few civil cases, being restricted to false imprisonment, malicious prosecution, and civil fraud (unless ordered otherwise by a judge)...". Jury trials are also extremely rare for civil cases in Ireland: "...In the Republic of Ireland, a common law jurisdiction, jury trials are available for criminal cases before the Circuit Court, Central Criminal Court and defamation cases, consisting of twelve jurors...". I think both of you are incorrect regarding jury trials in Cyprus. There are no jury trials, even for criminal cases, in Cyprus: https://e-justice.europa.eu/18/EN/national_ordinary_courts?CYPRUS&member=1 "...The District Courts hear at first instance all civil cases (except for admiralty cases) and criminal cases for offences punishable by a term of imprisonment of up to 5 years. Each administrative district in Cyprus has a District Court. Case are tried by one judge and there is no jurys are heard ... The Assize Courts hear criminal cases only. As a rule they try the most serious cases involving offences that are punishable by a term of imprisonment of over 5 years. Each Assize Court consists of three judges. Decisions are taken by majority vote. There is no jury...". As you correctly pointed out, defamation is a criminal offense in many places, including many US states. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defamation "...on the state level, 23 states and two territories have criminal defamation laws on the books: Alabama, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Wisconsin, Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands. In addition, Iowa criminalizes defamation through case law without statutorily defining it as a crime...". I don't know about Thai law, but it certainly may be the case that Thailand is unique in allowing truthful statements to be considered defamatory. In all civilized countries, a truthful statement cannot be defamatory. I believe it's absolutely shameful, for sure, if one can be jailed in Thailand for posting something truthful. The OP didn't make reference to any reliable source, so I leave it up in the air as to whether I believe the statement that truthful statements can be considered defamatory in Thailand. I'll wait for a more reliable source (given all of the factually incorrect statements from the Pataya TImes source, that source is obviously unreliable). -
Adult film star Austin Wolf arrested on child pornography charges
unicorn replied to hojacat's topic in The Beer Bar
Whether he was charged or not, unless the video was doctored, he did it. A 10 year-old can never give consent to that. -
I sometimes troll Model Mayhem for wanking material, and this man's self-introduction gave me a chuckle: https://www.modelmayhem.com/youssefkayaz "As you can see, I'm really attractive, charming, humble, modest and very photogenic. It would be a shame for all that to go to waste. That's why I model. A bit more about me? Well I have an undergraduate degree (BA) and am in second year Nursing studies. In addition to modeling and acting, I have many interests, including sports, current events, world peace, etc. However, my greatest goal is to one day rule over the fashion/modeling industry by using my intellect and impressive personalty ..". His humility and modesty really come through in his self-description! 😄 I'm not sure he'll ever "rule over" the industry with his intellect and personalty, though. 😁

Adult film star Austin Wolf arrested on child pornography charges
unicorn replied to hojacat's topic in The Beer Bar
Really, now. There's video of him performing horrific acts on pre-pubescent children. I don't need to wait for a jury to feel outraged, nor do I feel I'm being self-righteous. Unless those videos are fake, he's a monster, and I don't feel I'm being self-righteous in saying so, just because this hasn't gone through the legal process. I hope that at least has the decency to plead guilty, and not force the jury to witness the video evidence. 🤮No one should have to look at that, and if he forces anyone to look at this because of his denial, I hope the law comes down hard on him. -

Interesting theory. I wonder if has any scientific basis. -

Well, he's innocent in the eyes of the law. A person is always either innocent or guilty, regardless of the legal determination. 😉 -

It may not be possible for her to run, but my understanding is that Michelle Obama has the best chance of defeating Trump.
