@SirMuttley For your next tenancy also have a threshold above which whatever it is landlord pays. Ie 1500 or 2000 B and above. Good tenants are like gold.
@philipbkk Indeed. Guessing it has to be a side hustle for some of them ie. hired to buy for others. Seems like it can easily be flipped for 2x, and several times more. Eventually, maybe in a few months price comes back down.
@jacktla True, governing bodies aside - in the US - the cloud of getting sued over malpractice (Lawyers, Drs) is a great deterrent. Unfortunately, dont have that in many parts of the world....
@jacktla Totally outside my lane, but sure enough - just checked and something called the Next Gen Bar exam :) is coming. Dont know enough to say anything pro/con...but am guessing the argument is same as why memorize tables when we have calculators. https://t.co/MD7Z7t1sCW

@jacktla Caliper Logo - I was there when the NSX was all the rage (Gen 1). For me, that car seared the brand into my brain. Quick search says a comeback is in the works. AI says Logo now appears in Japan on tribute models 2026...+ is a flex for American performance subculture :)
@hizaga Have a great trip / stay .... and all going well may this be the rudest thing you encounter !! For all the bad PR they get LAX airport immigration was pretty good. One time got an officer who was of Japanese heritage, spoke some Japanese and knew more Thai words than I did.
