Many years ago, I met many girls fresh from up country. I guess many of them worked in the fields and had lots of "exercise".

Obviously over the years there are more not so slim women in Thailand. But luckily there are still plenty of slender beauties out there. Yesterday I stumbled upon this video from an American gym, with some well-known YouTubers. Looking at those fat ugly women in that gym, I wonder how the women outside of gyms look over there. Maybe Thailand is not so bad after all. from: https://youtu.be/77LWFo_EYUQ?si=3nnCGHlDbC7HHAav

Can you please explain how that happens. If there was a floor i.e. 4m x 4m with tiles 20 years ago. What is the situation now? Not a flow with 4m x 4m anymore? I understand that tenting can happen because of temperature differences. But if those tiles survived the temperature differences for many years, what changed now?

What is under those tiles? Concrete? Or some wood construction? Maybe the problem are not really the tiles but what is below those tiles. And to repair that could be a lot more expensive than just replacing tiles. This is just a guess.

For those here who would never ever do that: Are you really (at least a little) drunk after a few drinks? Personally, I feel any mild symptoms maybe starting after the 5th drink or so. Obviously, if I had 2 or 3 drinks, I remember that I had those drinks. But listening to my body I don't think I feel any alcohol symptoms.

I think most of us know if we had a few drinks, are medium drunk, or are totally drunk. If I had a few drinks, let's say maybe 3 glasses of wine for lunch, I will drive the 2km back home. A long time ago I also drove when I was medium drunk. Like, I knew I was not able to drive on full capacity, but I still could handle low traffic low risks streets. In those cases, I made sure I don't drive fast, and I didn't take any risks. I never drove totally drunk. That is certainly a bad idea.

Yeah, I really miss that one...

In a way, yes. But maybe they were looking for some time to fire him. Now they had a reason. The text above is certainly not what should be send to a 5-star hotel guest from a 5-star hotel manager.

What do you get for that? A seat on a table and free toilet use? Or maybe a welcome drink and a few hors d'oeuvre?

How romantic. Darling, I am coming. Darling, me too, I take it out now.

Do that and remove anybody form the Shinawatra family from politics. That would be a good start.

Single, male, no kids. But I still know that babies appear when people have sex. And they normally don't appear when contraceptives are used, i.e. the pill. What will you do if she doesn't take the pill anymore and does not tell you? Honey, it was an accident. The only way you can prevent having a kid is by not having sex with her. Are you ready for that? It doesn't really matter if you want a kid or not, it's mostly up to her.

I agree, there could be a good reason for not telling. But then, Trump promises a lot of things, and somehow, he refuses to give details. And then he lies a lot, all the time. That combined, should we really believe he can and will do all the things which he promises? Did Mexico pay for that wall already?

Yes, we trust each other. Are there shackles? No legal shackles. But I am sure if one of us would want to walk away that wouldn't be an easy task. We both know that we have a good relationship. Is there a perfect relationship somewhere out there? Maybe. Is it likely? Not so much.

Is she stupid? Or does she know me, after we live together since forever? I think she knows how to live happily together, and she knows how she could make life miserable, i.e. by nagging all the time. Mostly she does her best to live happily together. And I do my best to live happily together. Win/win. She could complain i.e. that I am sometimes lazy. Maybe she does that, but not too much. She knows that sometimes I go out to gogo bars and look at the girls. She doesn't complain. Because until now I always came back home - and I never brought a disease or trouble home. I guess we both know they I could try to start a relationship with a younger girl. And maybe I would be excited about that for a few weeks or months. But would it last? Would it be long term as good as with my current gf? Unlikely! So, I won't try to find something better as long as I/we am happy. Could she tell me: Marry me or I go away? Sure. And then? Probably I would let her walk away. I would miss her. But what would happen if I married her because she insists that I do that? Will she be happy to be married? Or will she then demand this and that or else? I remember a friend who told me before his marriage that he talked with his fiancé, and she told him she won't make any trouble. Later, married, she changed her mind and told him what he is allowed to do and what not. I avoid such trouble.

It seems randomly I just picked that moment when they talked about Putin and Trump said he won't tell any details. Later I read two or three articles about the (highlights of that) interview and in each of them they mentioned above details. Like: Sure, I can do this. How? I won't tell. Obviously, there could be some secret how Trump might be able to convince Putin. But looking at the past, it seems it is a lot more likely that Putin tells Trump what to do and think. I would love to hear how Trump would end the Ukraine war. And I would love to hear what he would do with the situation in Israel. Trump does not want to give any details. And in a way I even understand that. Because whatever he would say, he would alienate some of his voters. So better say nothing and just tell everybody: I will make it better...

Maybe a week or two ago there was a thread in this forum about home automation. It seems a couple of members do those things. Maybe look it up. Sorry, I have no link. Personally, I work with Home Assistant and until now I never used Zigbee.

This guy? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Ryan_(American_politician)

I am since a loooong time together with my gf, but I never married her. Why? Because I don't see the point why I should legally make my life more difficult. Probably I will stay together with my gf until one of us dies - most likely me first. And she will inherit if there is anything left. But somehow, I like it that in theory I could end it in 5min - if I wanted to do that. She also knows that. And I am sure that helps her to appreciate the good life with me. Unfortunately, I see too many guys who had a lot of fun in their life until they married and especially until the kids arrived. Now they work mostly for the kids, and the wife gives them s#$@ if they want to go out with the boys. I guess if you want to take your darling back home and/or if you have kids then marriage makes kind of sense. But apart from that it's like a huge weight at the ankle.

I saw lots of JRE interviews. Some are interesting. I think it's good that often he lets people just talk. Do you want to tell the world about aliens or this and that conspiracy theory? Just do it. So, listening to some people is enough to know that they are full of s#@$. I watched randomly a few one-minute sections from this interview. IMHO it's all just typical Trump. "I would have done it better." "Putin would not have done that if I would be president." Why? No explanation. Trump fans will obviously agree that he would have made everything better. But how many skeptical people will see Trump in a different light after that interview? It's hard (for me) to imagine that people see that interview and then think: Wow, what a guy, let's vote for him.

Thanks YaBaa? Or what are the options and effects (as far as you read or heard)?

Do you really expect "blood in the streets" is the official result shows that Trump won? I am sure some DEMs supporters would complain. But more with words than actions. The other way around is obviously a very different thing. Let's hope for the best.

I have no idea. As far as I know it would be easy to sniff white powder without a construction like that.

It seems you know that there are differences. That's the important part. People have different opinions of what is good or bad, fine. But if people have different opinions about the meaning of words, that makes no sense. There are definitions out there for a reason. And it's easy to look them up - if people want to learn and educate themselves.

Really? Is that what all stupid people do?
