Thailand's PM Paetongtarn Tackles PM2.5 Pollution Crisis
OneMoreFarang replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I am not even sure if they receive payments. I am sure the big landlords would not appreciate if their business model would be challenged by politicians, and for such "trivial reasons" like the environment. And then I am sure those landlords would find other politicians who understand them better... -
Thank you for your insider knowledge. You should consider starting a YouTube channel to spread your knowledge even more.

I don't think there are any real guarantees. Having said that, it seems to be normal that many people advertise for sale or rent at the same time. In other words, "I need money". Some also have unrealistic expectations about a possible sales price. Or maybe they play the game: If someone is so stupid to buy it for this elevated price, then I am happy to sell. All in all, I think, don't worry.

Thailand's PM Paetongtarn Tackles PM2.5 Pollution Crisis
OneMoreFarang replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Where do you think the votes come from? The influential people tell the not so influential people who to vote for. Thaksin is where he is because he made sure that lots of influential people (like rice millers) support him. -
I think another interesting topic would be: Under which condition would you still drive if you would be sure the police wouldn't fine you. It seems many here wouldn't drive drunk because they don't want to pay or get arrested. How many would drink and drive if they knew that won't happen?

Steak should be cooked with garlic melted into butter.
OneMoreFarang replied to Gobbler's topic in Western Food in Thailand
Really? As far as I know you are correct in theory. I remember seeing a YouTube video with some chefs. They made steaks in different types of pans and then the chefs should judge, just by the taste of it, which steak was made in which pan. They failed! And, as far as I remember, their choice of best steak was made in a stainless-steel pan... -
Thailand's PM Paetongtarn Tackles PM2.5 Pollution Crisis
OneMoreFarang replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I think she, and even her father, don't have the power to stop the air pollution. Obviously, they could issue big fines, but who would they hurt with that? I think they would hurt the influential people who now support them. Would they want to risk that support? I don't think so. -
I don't follow any of them in detail. But it seems to me it is bad for business to alienate half of America. I am sure lots of people won't buy any Tesla (anymore) because of his support for Trump. And fill any Trump supporters buy a Tesla only because he supports Trump? I have my doubts. Bezos lets everybody buy and does not alienate anyone. The smarter option.

Over 50 and Feeling the Frustration
OneMoreFarang replied to 123Stodg's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
There is a big difference between not being so horny anymore, and not being able to perform. I am not as horny as I was when I was younger, and I think overall that is good news. Many years ago, very horny, I needed to find some girl for the night. And more than one time I found one which did the job, but I wouldn't exactly introduce her to my friends. Now, if I see a sexy girl and I get horny, fine, let's do it. And if I don't see any girl like that, then it's also no problem. Let's go to sleep, fine. And I think the performance depends a lot on what's on offer. I am sure with many ugly women I would not be able to perform. No problem, I don't want to f#$# ugly women. Pretty cute girls still make me horny and the performance with the right girl is just fine. -
How long can you stand on 1 leg reflects your age
OneMoreFarang replied to 3NUMBAS's topic in Health and Medicine
I have two legs, and I use two legs. It's like: how long can I perform a handstand? I don't know, I don't need that in my life. -
Thailand's PM Paetongtarn Tackles PM2.5 Pollution Crisis
OneMoreFarang replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Let's look how that will work out. Did she consult with the more experienced politicians around her why nobody did that in the past? I wish her good luck. -
Steak should be cooked with garlic melted into butter.
OneMoreFarang replied to Gobbler's topic in Western Food in Thailand
That's what lots of people think. Try it! I tried sirloin from the same shop two times, I will never buy it again. But ribeye is good. Maybe 10% or max 20% of it is not tender, and the rest is just fine and tastes good. That's good enough for me. And I don't eat 300g - too small. -

OneMoreFarang replied to Gobbler's topic in Western Food in Thailand
No garlic! I hate garlic! I buy Thai ribeye. It's pretty good and about 550B per kg in Foodland. Salt, about 3min on each side in a pan. On the plate, add butter and pepper. Ready to eat. This time with lots of mushrooms. -
Smart Home automations - anybody using?
OneMoreFarang replied to Bandersnatch's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
Doing the accounting or what? Are you really concerned about a couple of WiFi signals? -
I think that is what everybody should do. That whole endorsing business seems to be something very specific American. Why should anybody care who this guy or that company endorses? Should all readers from X vote Harris because X endorsed her? Should they feel bad if they vote for someone else? How about: Get the facts. Think! And then vote for whoever you think is the best candidate.

Speak for yourself. It's a question of how much. And "drunk" is a very relative term.
-
Sure, something can happen even to the best drivers under the best conditions. And many factors make it more likely that something will happen. We all manage our risk and risk factors.

Yes, I agree. There will be some slower response even after only one or a few drinks. I think the question is how much slower and compared to what. I ride motorcycle in Bangkok, and I see all the time people playing with their mobile phones and they try to drive at the same time. Many of these people have a horrible reaction time - because they look at their phone and not the street. If I would drive drunk in Bangkok, concentrating on the street and nothing else. Would my reaction time be worse than all those people who play with their phones? I have my doubt. And since I visited driving school decades ago, I know and accept the principle of safety distance. This helps a lot in all situations which need reaction time. A second more to react because I don't drive right behind someone but leave some space is always a good idea. How many people in Thailand do that?

Completely covering house with PU Foam Metal Sheets?
OneMoreFarang replied to JeffersLos's topic in DIY Forum
I guess you must be careful that there is some air circulation because of the moisture. This is just a guess. -
Where does your experience come from? When I was a little younger in a country far away I had often enough too many drinks to legally drive. In the hindsight I am not proud of that, but that's what it was. My philosophy was always to drive careful in such condition. Not too fast, careful when making turns, things like that. I never had an accident or even any dangerous encounter. At that time, I drove about 20,000km per year, I guess lots of experience helps. And with drinking: We also get used to drinking. Some are drunk after a few drinks; some can handle a lot more. All in all, it would be good if nobody would drive under any influence. And nobody should drive playing with a smart phone and all that. I am pretty sure I with a few drinks drive mostly still better that those smombies with a screen in front of their face.

There was a time when I eat whatever I wanted, as much as I wanted, and I was slim. Then I continued like above, but are not so slim anymore... 😉
