Tell that to the women and girls being forced to accept people with penises in their locker rooms. With lefty judges agreeing with the penises. And the recent one, where a kid plays on the boys' teams, but identifies as a girl so he can get into their locker room and watch them get naked. You need to broaden your reading list.

Because their kitchens are too small? That's why I didn't have an oven in Thailand. Not enough counter space, either.

Report Tumbling Tastes: Bangkok's Banthat Thong Hits Hard Times
impulse replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
The place got popular so they jacked up rents and prices but didn't maintain quality. Now, it's not a good value. All of Thailand could take a lesson here.- 9 replies

Are high end smartphones worth the money (to you)?
impulse replied to impulse's topic in Mobile Devices and Apps
Is tukcom in Pattaya? I'm not familiar... I've heard of it, obviously. Just don't recall ever being there. I spend most of my BKK time in Chinatown each month, with at least one or 2 forays to Fortune Town and MBK. There are some repair geniuses in all 3. I'm in awe of how cheap they've fixed me up in the past. -
Accident Sisaket: 3 Young Girls Drown Before 4-Year-Old’s Eyes
impulse replied to Georgealbert's topic in Isaan News
Some parent won't teach their kids to swim because they're afraid their kids would sneak into the water and drown. They'd rather the kids have a healthy fear of the water. Even if they reach the steep, slippery shore (or a ladderless dock) they can only tread water for a limited time. They're just kids. Given that there are 2 different doctrines, is it really fair to contend that it's lack of care? Or is that just Thai bashing? Personally, I'd teach mine to swim, then put the fear of God into them to stay away from the water when there's no adults. But I wouldn't dream of accusing any parent on the other side of "not caring". -

The flipside of that argument is that kids who can swim are more likely to sneak into the water when the adults aren't around. I'm not claiming either side is safer. I don't have those stats. Edit: But I'd add that there are a lot of places where the water is easy to get in, and impossible to get out on a steep, slippery bank. (Or a dock with no ladder.) Kids don't have that kind of judgment yet, even if they can swim. -

You may be right. But I'd bet that some Thai guy sitting in a repair kiosk could root it and load a more current OS version. -

There's 100 repair kiosks just in Bangkok that could have gotten you another 10 years out of it. That's one thing I love about Thailand. -

No, those are the shills hired by the Dems heckling them. -

I'm a luddite. I want a cradle or cable that does all the matching and pairing and synching for me. Just plug in the USB-C (or Firewire) and out comes HDMI and Bluetooth and whatever else I need. I've actually done it with my Samsung Tablet, but it was too fiddly for a luddite like me. -

Not suitable for arthritic elephant thumbs 🥰 Some day, one of the smartphone companies will come out with a cradle that I can plug my smartphone in and use a full size monitor, a keyboard and a mouse when I'm at home. (Or at Starbucks or the airport, or the hotel... or,,,) The processing power is there. And it would sure be convenient. I hate typing on a tiny screen. The first company that comes out with one and does hotel and venue tie-ins would rule the world.
