I wouldn't eat fresh meet from the market - it looks horrible to me when I see the meat in the open with no decent cooling and no cover. But it seems some supermarkets are not better. I remember I saw in one of the big chains when the staff took fresh chicken out of the plastic wrap and they dumped it all on a table where people walked. There was ice under the lowest layer of the chicken. But no protection on the top. That can't be healthy. I also saw in another well-known and expensive supermarket, that the staff took packages with sausages, etc. out of the fridge and put them in the morning on a table for presentation. No cooling. And in the evening, they take the leftover packages from the table, now obviously all warm, and put them in the fridge again. Any visitor on the next day, who would pick anything out of that fridge, wouldn't know if that was cold all the time, or maybe warm for several days and then cooled again. So even if the date on the package looks good, that doesn't mean the product inside is good.

I have no fixed rule because maybe I need 10min from the supermarket to return home and when I put the meet in the fridge it is cold like when I bought it. Sometimes I need a little longer to return home - not so good. First, I look at the date. And then I make the smell and view test when I take it out of the fridge. If I would cook i.e. beef stew, which is cooked for hours, I would maybe accept meat even if I am not so sure. If I eat steak, half raw, then I don't take any risk. Best, I ask my gf, she knows these things a lot better than I do.

I guess long term there is no future for this. How many new young members do we have here who like to participate in a positive way? It seems at least half the post now are from two individuals - I am not sure if I am allowed to call them idiots. Is there a chance to get it back to what is was? I doubt it. Will this forum work in some other way with new members? Maybe. But I doubt that as well.

I looked at the linked article. Interesting.

I hope that as well. It is crazy that these days you never know what is satirical.

I wonder how many people think it is normal and how many are afraid to point out reality. It seems to be there are only few people who thing that is normal, but those few are very loud, especially online. In this form I don't see any radical activists anymore, it seems I put them all on my ignore list.

I have to admit I have difficulties understanding this. I recently bought in Bangkok a condominium unit from a Thai person. Before I bought it, I spoke to the building management, and they explained to me that they look how much of the whole building is owned by Thais and how much by foreigners. In my building there seem to be more Thai owners and for that reason I could buy the unit from a Thai person which is now owned by a foreigner, me. As far as I understand foreigners can continue to buy any unit in the building until they own combined 49% of the building. If this ever happens and if I would sell my unit to a Thai person, then maybe there would be 1% available again for a foreigner. And as far as I understand that could be any unit which is currently owned by a Thai person. Please comment if you think what I describe is correct or wrong.

I have at least 6 of them in 5min walking distance. But I hear from my gf that up country the nearest 7-11 is 20km from her village. I wonder about the density of them in Thailand. What is the worst case for anybody about the distance to the next 7-11?

Did Srettha or his boss ever announce what outcome they expect? Give us some numbers what will be the positive outcome of spending 500,000,000,000 of taxpayer's money. And when will we all see those positive effects. If he presents those numbers, then we will be able to see if he achieved what he promised. If he doesn't present any expected positive effects in numbers, then we can't validate if all that money was spent in a productive way.

Come on, maybe some of these girls will be lonely. But how desperate would they have to be to do that?

Is it a new trend that women athletes don't cover their breast these days? Shouldn't she wear a bra? Or maybe the censors should pixelate this before anybody gets aroused. And will all the other girls follow this braless trend?

Apparently they both applied for jobs at the Alcazar. But don't tell anybody, that is still a secret.

Just in case anybody here like to see the ladies.

I understand. But I guess a few more people will look at this thread. And above is a good source for lots of information about LEDs and LED controllers. The guy also has an interesting YouTube channel.

Sometime, I have hope with that one. He also changes his mind from time to time, radially.

I am sure most people wouldn't feel very good when they go to prison. Higher blood pressure and all that.

LED lights need special dimmers. Ordinary dimmers don't work for them, it's a completely different technology. Here you can learn a lot about LEDs, etc. It is technical. Home of the QuinLED LED Controllers - quinled.info

So when will all those people to helped him with his I-am-so-ill-scam be prosecuted and jailed?

Good that big brother couldn't possibly connect you to this comment. He said that is what he will do. 😉

I prepared already two videos on my phone for such situations. One AC/DC and one Pavarotti. But until now I was too shy to use any of them. I notice this behavior mostly in lifts.

Possibly. If the VPN works - and people are allowed to use a VPN.

Obviously he tried to win one of those Darwin Awards.

It seems it is called Significant Locations

In case I want to travel to China, or other countries, I like to know in advance which applications and internet access will likely work or not. Like maybe WhatsApp does not work at all. Maybe for LINE there is some special setting, maybe OneDrive works without problem, maybe DropBox ... You get the idea. I don't want to rely on information from people who traveled maybe a year ago to one city and in one hotel app x did not work. It would be great to have some website with up to date information about above. Does such a website exist? What do you do before you travel, and you know you want to use your usual apps?

If you have an Android phone, then Google Maps Timeline saves all your moves all the time. And you can look for any moment in time 24/7 in which location you were. The following map is low resolution from me in 2023. Bangkok and Phnom Penh. I cold lookup my location for 23 Feb, 13:15, just an example. I can zoom in to every single house on that map. I could look at any location, i.e. Nana Plaza, and find out when I was there for how long, etc. In theory it is possible for the user to switch this off. But will it switch it off? Or will it just not let the user see the data anymore. All this is saved in the cloud. We can be sure the NSA and other can look at every detail if they want to. I think something like that also exists for Apple, but I am not familiar with that. https://timeline.google.com/ Edit, one evening in Nana
