  1. ‘Winter’ always sounds odd in the tropics. Cool season seems more apt, or maybe the not-so-hot season.
  2. Well that’s ok then. I’m sure these bank executives would have no problem if someone broke into their house, removed and/or destroyed their valuables & sentimentals and defaced the place. Pay up!
  3. Anyone who’s got the stones to go against the grain and champion a psychoactive substance in this traditionally hardline judiciary deserves a crack at the whip imo. Polarising figure no doubt (mind you, the dirty farang thing is bang on in some cases), but I’d sooner have a successful businessman running things than some incompetent general.
  4. Face masks still mandatory on public transport, cinemas in Thailand Get your act together Thailand. All those covid-weary tourists you courted will be mightily <deleted> after they spent thousands of dollars to get here only to be forced to wear a stupid mask when they shop or travel. Grow up a bit.
  5. So does this mean these pharmacies can legally sell their drugs?
  6. Indeed. Forgot mask yesterday and was forced to buy one before entry to a mall. Very sad especially when 50% in there either weren’t wearing or were chin-strapping!
  7. Certainly applies well to Thighland.
  8. ... and the doctors and pharma that will lose out. This lot only ever think of themselves. Stick it to em! Freedom!!!
  9. Guys, think about it; he won’t be sent to the frontline as that would please the Americans no end. He’s more likely to get a commendation.
  10. Here’s the simple answer: very hard. He mostly keeps himself locked away and when he does go out he is surrounded by his innermost circle, who he has enriched and are just as bent as he is. His government is under perpetual surveillance for insurrection; any hint and they are subsequently removed. Appearances are set up and attendees are closely vetted so the ‘right’ people are there. Of course, his palace could be flattened but then you have WWIII.
  11. Don’t listen to em Bob, nothing wrong with a blowout on occasion and the topic is as worthy as any other. But, yeah, have a bit of breakfast. ????
  12. Codswallop. They might do in the limelight because it is expected—a bit sheeple like that. But when out and about, even in groups, IME they don’t. Have many friends who are as dismissive of covid and masks as any foreigner.
  13. "The first rule of Fight Club is you do not talk about Fight Club! The second rule of Fight Club is you do not talk about Fight Club!" ????
  14. Immaterial. Supply and demand. Since the slump in sales during the height of covid and the unavailability of parts today, demand has since soared so they will naturally want to get as much as possible. In short, they don't need to sell for cash since the guy behind you is willing to go finance and pay more.
  15. County's ban it because it would impact traditional revenue streams--alcohol and tobacco duties and the sale of pharmaceuticals. It also keeps politicians looking 'proper' and responsible to their electorate.
  16. Dodgy in Thailand. Best bet is to drive it right outside the company forecourt and proceed with the bashing, as did the woman with the Honda many means ago. Believe she got some restitution?
  17. The lights were green. Truck driver gave a gentle beep. It is all on the ambulance driver.
  18. If you want to divorce fast, forget getting her to sign stuff etc but tell her you’ll give her 50k, or whatever, if she comes to the amphur with you for a no-catch divorce. As you say she wants to get back together in the future when she has money (yeah, right), perhaps also mention you can marry again in the future.
  19. An ellipsis is perfectly legit to be used when you've put your point across and intentionally left the rest of the meaning out... ????
  20. I think it's meant to be tongue in cheek: If they were serious, the above would be bizarre. However, I do think smileys should be more liberally used. A simple benign text message can easily be misread depending on one's mood, for instance. Adding one of these ???? when one puts out an intendedly funny but unclear message can save a whole lot of angst. Boomers will likely get uptight with the suggestion though because, well, they are old. FULL STOP. LOL ????????
  21. Mass production aside, there is likely little input protection (thermistors, power resistors, HRC fuses etc) on that device... not an issue when checking wattage with the clamp, but I would avoid testing anything other than low voltage systems through the leads. Certainly wouldn't go probing three phase power circuitry as there's a high probability it will blow up in your face. Build quality and drop protection will be non-existent and the leads and accuracy will also be naff--these points are what typically contribute to a meter's expense, along with sound input protection. But as long as you're happy and avoid measuring mains voltage, then ????
  22. Everything is an eyesore; it should all be flattened.
  23. Along with his own life, he cares most about the ‘glory’ of empire. I guess if he can’t get that back and loses power and face (which he will eventually through this incompetence), then yes he probably wouldn’t care less if everything was destroyed. Him and his entire inner-circle band of thugs need removing and replacing with a Navalny type.
