Maybe it's just me but I tend to look where I'm walking, and therefore avoid walking into static objects.

The world birth rate is 2.3  https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.DYN.TFRT.IN?locations=TH-1W

And the entire western world is well under 2.0 https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.DYN.TFRT.IN?locations=TH-1W&view=map

We are on the way to population decline and eventual extinction, but nobody is talking about it except Uncle Elon.

One-Way, but in both directions. 

People don't hate golf. But non-golfers get mightily annoyed with golfers that bang on continuously about their last round or their yardage with the latest Taylormade  driver.

Don't ask me about ardent stamp collectors.

Is clipping errant Indian pedestrians with your side-mirrors an official sport yet?

I had intraocular lens replacement surgery at age 56 in 2015.  Done by Dr. Somchai at BPH in Pattaya.  Cost was 197,000 baht.

But I chose the option of only local anaesthetic. I suspect the option of a general anaesthesia will increase the cost substantially. The local was painless, and I would recommend this to keep the cost down

The results are nothing short of amazing. I would describe it as life altering. No more glasses of any kind, perfect short and long range vision.

A point to note - select the multi-focal option.  This means both lenses are able to adjust focus.  I know people who have selected to have only one lens replaced, or had one lens set for short focus and one set for long focus.  They all seem disgruntled with the results and all still use reading and/or regular eyeglasses.

I tested 20/15 about 3 months after the surgery and can read the smallest print on a medical label at 20-30cm.

The only downside is that you get to see an unblurred ageing image of yourself in every mirror.

No context given at all in the article. A possible interpretation from viewing the video is that two lazy-arses were told in no uncertain terms to assist in the task at hand. 

Standard practice back in the day to cuff the younger lazy employees across the back of the head for laziness and/or stupidity. The world made sense back then though.

I do all those things, plus I close my eyes and my wife tells me what to do, slow down, turn left, move over a lane.....she does that during the day time so why not at night too.

555.  You missed the part about her knowing which parking space is intrinsically the best.

Night time, dark and 90% tint, what could possibly go wromg!

It pays to turn the headlights off and place your Singha T-shirt over the dashboard, thus eliminating interior reflective light and improving external vision through the tint. It also saves fuel and makes your battery last longer, so it's also good for the environment. 

Straight road and plenty of lighting, but wifey says it was very dark.  That'll be the 90% tint on the windscreen. 

I used to ride my bike "sensibly", as I would back home.  That lasted about a week and I was having 30 near death experiences per kilometre.

I converted to riding Thai style, felt much more comfortable, and reduced the near death experiences to a more manageable 5 per kilometre, on a good day.

If everybody on the dancefloor is doing a tango and you only know how to waltz, you've got a problem.

I could never figure out what the 18 items attached to their belt consisted of.
