McDonald’s Beef Patties in Thailand, Any Good?
McDonald’s Beef Patties in Thailand, Any Good?

Kyoto Kyle · 4 hours ago4 hr

I’m wondering if McDonald’s beef patties in Thailand are actually any good in terms of meat quality. I can’t remember the last time I had one here. Maybe once or twice many years ago. The reason I’m asking is because I just realized there’s a 24 hour McDonald’s within walking distance of where I’m staying now. If the patties actually taste decent, I was thinking that late one night I might buy two double cheeseburgers, or maybe two Quarter Pounders with cheese, take them home, stack all four pa

Why Do People Twerk?
Why Do People Twerk?

Alpha84 · 11 hours ago11 hr

After encountering countless videos of people randomly twerking online, I’ve landed upon a simple query. Why the ferk do people twerk? One might initially conclude that it is a form of core strengthening exercise. But after long hours of careful observation and extensive video analysis, I have compiled a list of what could be the five most likely explanations. An insect crawled up the bung. Emergency attempt to dislodge a wedgie of catastrophic proportions. Trying to shake loose a coin that

Does Thailand Have A Sniffing Obsession?
Does Thailand Have A Sniffing Obsession?

SoCal1990 · Wednesday at 01:34 PM2 days

I have always been slightly baffled by Thailand’s long running love affair with menthol and camphor inhalers. Years ago you used to see people everywhere walking around with those little stick inhalers jammed up their nostrils. Often they would just leave them hanging there unattended like an ornamental piece of nose jewelry. Some of them even had that double barrel design so you could apparently ventilate both sides of your brain at the same time. Back then it was a common sight to see a Thai b

Antisemitism…is all of us
Antisemitism…is all of us

unblocktheplanet · 21 hours ago21 hr

For me, the conversations we’ve been having here on racism and, more particularly, antisemitism have been very instructive. I’ve learned a lot by talking with all of you. Most of us are familiar with the story of the good German, the ordinary person who followed orders, no matter how far against morality or humanity they went. Eichmann’s defence at Nuremburg was, “I was only following orders.” They hanged him anyway. You see, that’s not good enough. We all like to think of ourselves as better

Do colourblind glasses and/or colourblind contact lens work?
Do colourblind glasses and/or colourblind contact lens work?

Bredbury Blue · Sunday at 05:43 AM5 days

Do colourblind glasses and/or colourblind contact lens work? 1 in 12 men are colourblind apparently, so that means quite a few of you reading this are colourblind. I am red/green colourblind. Not really a problem: a minor problem sometimes watching football, buying clothes, seeing birds in trees - minor stuff. I have no problem seeing red and green when driving. I do though have a major problem when it comes to passing the colourblindness test(s) in the Thai driving licence renewal. I have pa

Cardiologist (angiogram/stent)

Letseng · Tuesday at 11:01 AM3 days

Had a heart attack a few months ago. Due to a kidney issue doc decided not to do an angiogram at the time because of contrast medium. Can't live with this heart problem as I can't even swim 20m or walk at normal pace. The cardio I see is not a person who explains or likes to answer questions how to get the problem dealt with. Any recommendations for a specialist in Bangkok.
