@firstdogonmoon Actually, most of what is argued in the cartoon is flat out wrong. For example, there are no "Free and Fast Buses". Nor are there any "city stores" ... most of Mamdani's agenda is a work in progress with few if any of his signature policies have gone beyond the planning stage.
@ThaiAirways What a totally F'up operation. I am now flying via Tokyo again. That took all of 30 minutes with the ANA website and no problem with credit cards.
Went to book @ThaiAirways for my June trip from the UK to Australia. What a terrible experience. Booked everything and went to pay on the website. Nope, won't go through. Try different browsers and credit cards ... nothing.
@ThaiAirways Then call them and they rebook everything. They send me a link to pay. Nope that doesn't work -- not different browsers, different wifi or using my phone. They say call the bank. Bank says no transactions are showing up so it is not them.
@ThaiAirways Call back. They say I have to talk to Bangkok. Bangkok says that because the flight is originating in the UK I have to talk to London and pay with a UK credit card. I said, I tried a UK credit card already. They say I have to call London as that is the origin country.

@NASorg I had a student use that excuse years ago. I told him I wasn't buying it and he needed to bring it to class on time. He rocks up with a dog. I said "I meant the assignment not the dog!" He responded, it is the assignment it is in there, just wait a day or so.
