No Coup Taking Place, Says Defence Ministry Spokesman

Ah, so it's true then! -
Putin grants Russian citizenship to US whistleblower Edward Snowden
unblocktheplanet replied to Scott's topic in World News
Just as his asylum in Russian, Snowden has been granted citizenship for political gain. He has scrupulously avoided Russian politics during his asylum. If only Julian Assange has been so lucky to get eight months of winter... -

Photo, PLEASE! -
Okay, yeah, yeah. It can be a PITA. But there are often legitimate reasons why a cabby won't go. He has a set time to get the cab back or he gets fined. Traffic is so horrendous, he's losing money on your fare. Lastly, your own safety. When you reach for that phone, your smiling Thai is reaching for that tire iron or machete from under his seat! Use your common sense.

Advice sought re 'self-destructing' eyeglass lenses
unblocktheplanet replied to Toolong's topic in General Topics
Had terrific luck with Essilor Crizal Prevencia. Presumably the blue-blocking is a coating but mine have anti-glare, anti-scratch, too. At least eight years for mine. (often clean them with my shirttail!) -
Homepro is no better. Multiple hassles over returns, including those with long warranties.

Not sure about Index but IKEA's advantage is their generous return policy. One year?

Can’t we the public now cope with a Covid outbreak in Thailand?
unblocktheplanet replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Like Biden. Does he even wear a mask? -
Slippery slope, for sure. Who watches the watchers? And who's going to verify that such claims are not reported as a gridge or for commercial advantage? Copyright protection 50 years after death? Grandkids will be living on the proceeds. Barmy--just keeping up with the Joneses with stripes on their flag.

Can’t we the public now cope with a Covid outbreak in Thailand?
unblocktheplanet replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I'm a mask-wearer. I think wearing a mask is polite, makes others feel safer being around me, & may even protect others should I have contracted Covid & don't know it yet. BUT I went to my large public hospital today for an official Covid ATK 24 hours before dental work. This is reasonable, protects the dentist & their staff. Took my time & 200 baht. I asked the staff there what percentage tested positive. 1%, they said...but that's because only responsible people come in for testing. Are you inclined to agree? Lowest common denominator & all that. The only people I see without masks in public (e.g., BTS) are foreigners. Be polite & safe for everybody--it's not so onerous. -
Thank you for all the advice, greatly appreciated. Please check back here. I’m sure I’ll have more questions! I think once termite colonies are established, they’re pretty much impossible to eradicate. I’m sorry to learn they love mango heartwood. We love our chok-anan mangos! Neighbours made us cut one side of our forked mango. Of course, we failed to notice the termite invasion until the tree was hollowed. Pumped a whole bag of cement into the hole. Slowed them down but… Probably a basal cavity, you’re right. I’m pretty diligent at watching for their tubes but they can be hard to spot. They don’t always start at the base, either. Sometimes they tube the wall & enter a cut higher up. I doubt the garden of our Bangkok attached house will ever be organic certified! Definitely rather pay a professional than buy PPE! I’m sure I don’t need to tell you he wore flip-flops & a surgical mask, no gloves. I’d be grateful for your suggestions as to what schedule we should follow for spraying. IOW, how long does the poison stay effective? He did spray whatever-it-was to chest height on the trees, along the perimeter & their trails. I’ll ask for Chaindrite Stedfast 30. * If you find the mixing ratio, I’ll make sure my flip-flop guy does it right. Hm. We have fruit flies in our compost but, so far, none attacking our mangos. Birds & squirrels are our competition. Even with two productive trees, it would be a major adventure to bag 70 or so fruits on each! I guess you could say we enjoy the fruits but not our labours. Re compost. Now that we’re restricted to a bin—we use a construction taka— we don’t want it to fill up too fast. Not too fussy about the aesthetics. Q: Does the mulch material—in our case, leaf litter & banana leaves—need to be dried first before mixing into the compost? Oh, wait. I may be confused on this point! I think you’re talking about adding the mulch to the soil not the compost bin, yes? We never break soil except when planting. Our Bangkok clay has gotten pretty aerated with organics in 30 years! I like to picture you walking your mango orchard knocking off the termite tubes! It’s a good life, eh. Thanks so much.

Amazon & iHerb have cheaper options. Most people take far too strong a dose. I'd start with 300 mcg. May well be enough for you. The idea is reset the circadian sleep cycle.
