  1. I am pretty sure my doors are inside made from that material. And then a nice veneer on top of that. They look nice, do that job, and don't have problems with moisture.
  2. Yes. But that doesn't change the fact that potholes don't kill. Riding too fast over potholes is dangerous and might kill. Soultion: Be careful and don't do that.
  3. 555 Not long ago the bread versions were promoted for environmental reasons.
  4. Now add pigtails and bunny ears and she is almost perfect. 😉
  5. If your app is supposed to work offline maybe there is an option to download that part extra. Like: normal use online, with some extra also offline use.
  6. Ugly old women use black makeup. And on Halloween they pretend they look scary on purpose. On normal days they use similar makeup and some also look scary - not so much on purpose.
  7. At Covid times I played almost 1000 hours Factorio. It's a fascinating game, and very addictive. Now, yesterday Factorio Space Age was released. I saw on YouTube videos since a couple of days that this will be released soon. A week ago I thought I will watch a couple of videos but I won't play it - because it might be difficult to stop. And then, yesterday, I downloaded it within the first hour when it was released. Until now, I didn't play it. And my plan is to wait until the weekend, so that I get some real work done within the week. Did you ever play Factorio? Are you addicted to it? Will you play Factorio Space Age? Or are you addicted to any other games. In general, I avoid the word addiction except for hard drugs. But I have to admit with this game I understand the concept how someone just doesn't want to stop.
  8. We all have the choice. A long time ago I rode on Bangna Trat road. It was horrible, that's why I never did that again. And if I would do it again, I would ride very carefully. It like the quote from Alfred Wainwright “There's no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing.”
  9. Ok, maybe a picture will explain this to you. If you would ride on the road in the picture below, do you think you would die because of a pothole? Or do you think you would ride slowly? Anybody in Thailand knows that many roads are bad. Potholes and other problems are the rule and not the exception. For that reason, it makes sense to ride not too fast and pay attention. It's not really that difficult.
  10. I made sure I bought one with 200mm exhaust pipe and the output is not even 2m away. So, at least that is as good as it gets for indoor (in a condominium).
  11. It seems some older women think they learned from their past experiences. But they forget the little fact that when they were young, they attracted many men. And when they are older, they should be happy to find one at all.
  12. That's why someone invented these things. My indoor kitchen has a hood. And a door. Problem solved.
  13. Should we care about what tourists think about something they are not used to? Probably they will also complain that the local food is too hot. Since I live in Thailand I didn't travel to many countries, but I was a couple of time in Phnom Phen. Over there, they drive very different than in Thailand. Often people drive and ride slow on intersections and they somehow wiggle between each other in any direction. It seems to work, because the locals are used to it. As an outsider I find it confusing. But I don't expect that the locals will change because any outsider has trouble adapting. My tip for tourists: Don't assume anything is like back home. It's not.
  14. Please ask Lisa is Jennie will also come. Then I have a reason to go there.
  15. No If the rider would have paid attention, then he would have avoided the bad road. Sure, it's bad when the road is bad. And this is why people should ride and drive not too fast and pay attention.
  16. In think jail time should only counted as time when the person is actually in jail. If the person, in this case Thaksin, is in a hospital, that is no jail time. Just stop counting when he goes to hospital and start counting again when he is back in jail. This system would make sure that nobody is in hospital to avoid actual time in jail.
  17. The way she looks, she should be happy for anybody who is interested.
  18. I wonder what all the Thai people who all over Thailand gamble illegally think about this. Big casinos just in a few locations and maybe only for foreigners? And all the small casinos where Thai people gamble will be kept illegal so that the police can collect their tea money? Or what's the idea?
  19. It seems to me a proper kitchen is never cheap. I spent just for my IKEA cabinets more than 100k, plus appliances, etc. But then, normally we buy a kitchen only once.
  20. I don't know what they thought about. And I am pretty sure most decisions are based on many factors. All in all, I think it was good that Thaksin was removed. Did the generals do a good job running the country? No. Would Thailand now be better off if the coups would not have happened? I don't know. Maybe. Maybe not.
  21. Why did the coups happen? Thaksin, and later his clone, were very corrupt. The authorities didn't do their job. As far as I see, under that condition the only way to remove him was with a coup. And exactly that is what happened. Nobody was really surprised that it happened. Thaksin could have been honest, and he could have worked for Thais and Thailand, and he would probably still be PM, for 20 years or so, beloved by everybody. But he was/is too greedy. Thaksin first. The rest is history.
  22. A little salmon, eggs benedict and then some more.
  23. Obviously, that was also a shady character. But what is worse, hiding the ownership of companies and many millions in stocks in the name of nominees or having lots of watches? The courts could have removed Thaksin when he just started, but somehow, they let him get away with his explanation that was an honorable mistake. Thai History would have been very different if the courts would have decided differently.
  24. Looking from Bangkok everything further away than maybe 20km to the north is up country. Villages, rice, buffaloes, and those places where the brown girls come from. Further details are not really interesting. 😉
