Re: Apartment fire now, possibly Street 63

That TNB , TV News Brand do a good job of live tv. This guy seems to be doing a good job. Overall it looks like the response is being managed reasonably, but it's got the best of them for the moment. I think all the security grills are keeping the responders at bay, they're trying to put the wet st...

Re: Apartment fire now, possibly Street 63

It's good to see the boys in action, with function BA, water in the hoses, and the pumps working. Looks like at least 5 engines in attendance. Edit: the water has run out, locals are throwing drinking water bottles up to the higher levels, looks like there are injured still in the building. Edit 2: ...

Re: Bicycles/motor bikes on country highways

An Australian mate and I rode motos down to SHV. I was ahead of him on an open highway, some yamma'd fool in a minivan overtook him, and then slammed into me sideways, with intent to kill (presumably).

Re: Best cheap hostels in Cambodia and Vietnam for backpacking in style

Entitlement (noun): any sentence that includes the words "best" and "cheap" with "backpacking" and "hostel".
It's like "good fast food" - as in, you can have good food or fast food, pick one.

Except when Lexus Bong goes cray-cray and intentionally drives in the wrong lane against traffic, because his VIP card gives him that right regardless of how many people he crushes. When the locals pull him out of the Lexus, then you see some lane discipline.

Re: Problem: advice is needed

Just give me some actual advice Sadly there is no solution to the problem, and the real advice has already been given - it's just hard to see through the shitstorm. There's a suggestion that you need to identify if it's your problem to fix, or hers. I'd look more closely into this. I'll spell it ou...
