I agree but stating many fit healthy people died is missleadong. Many people die by lightning strike each year on sunny days. Nice post and like I stated, I agree.

Health insurance? I would think that would be expensive at your age.

Really enjoy your non-political posts 🙂

There were a group of these fools that enjoyed trashing anyone that had an opinion that the group didn't support. They definately had the numbers and could either drown you out or get your post removed. Weird times. BTW, I don't agree with many of your vaccine believes. The difference between myself and the vaccine tirants is that I have no need for a herd nor a desire to report you to a moderator.

Not me and could never understand the panick. I just sat back and watched many let fear take over their life. I know of not one person that died of Covid nor do my family members. It was basically a severe flu that killed off the weak. Very few healthy people died and want to emphasize VERY FEW. Couldn't we have just focussed on the unhealthy older crowd in stead of pancking? Forcing lockdowns for everybody and needlessly vacinating infants does seem a little excessive. In the end it all passed and the vaccines and lockdowns were just an aggravation. As for the vaccines, doubt the vacines are really killing people with the rare exception but no need for them anymore unless you are extremely unhealthy.

Did you get a shirt or ribbon. You seem the type that would cream over such an item 🙂

Interesing post but you are cherry picking. I aggree the polio vaccine had a dramatic possitive impact. Not so sure about Covid vacines. It was rolled out during a period of chaos and I serriously doubt almost all Covid data on both sides.

There is a mesage in the OP. It is his manner of comunicating and don't understand all the harsh responses. I think Gamma might benefit from mdeditation thoughout the day which could help contoll his thoughts or maybe he enjoys openly expressing every passing thought. I was referneced in one of you AC rambles and saw some other posters were refernced in other parts. Keep posting and I enjoy the reads if I have time. Ofcourse many worldbeaters here on AN won't have the patience 🙂

That was my experience also. Everyting has to be locked up and if left on the streets after dark will probably not be there in the morning. Even the places that store your car or bikes will steal them but still better than leaving in the open. People were nice, like the Thais 25 years ago, that saw us as superior for better or worse. Don't want to be alone though off the beaten path. I found this out the hard way and barely escaped without being robbed.

No need for a filter in my case because of the size. This is one of the reasons I went small. What mattered was creating a place to cool off ( no need to swim 🙂 ) with nice surrounding after exiting my exercise pain cave 🙂 It has a nice view of the big pond infront while sitting or standing. Also no need for a scimmer because I created a negative edge that drains into the pond so no top dust, dirt or leaves. The ground water is fine but I let it run for 5 minutes before directing it to the pool so the water is completely clear. The ground water stays around 29c all year. This year has been the coldest in 20 years the last month (usually hot) in my part of Thailand so the water is about 26c after a day if I don't change the water. I could dump my Ice freezer into it to drop it a few degrees if it gets hot which is another advantage to going small. Already do this for my ice bath. The house is powered by solar so electricity isn't a concern.

Yep- we were friends - LOL. Cycling became more of a who is using drugs and who is not. Hope all is well 🙂

Funny. I bought a pair on my first trip and so did my friend. 1998 was the year and we were fools. Think I know you from my time in CM. Your pic looks like a biking friend 🙂

Do you actually sift through the data? I had loads of data years ago and because of the size never really looked at it much. I decided to only keep about ~2% of the best stuff and now I actually enjoy it on occation. Not often but sometimes 🙂 Nobody will look at it when I die and no real reason to keep things that bury what is important is how I look at it. I bet it I cut the 2% to .5% it would provide more value.

I've lived in Chiang Mai for a total of 6 years but in finally escaped in 2015. That picture in the article would have been one of the good polution days while I was there. You can see buildings from kilometers away. I would have been thrilled and exercising outside. Maybe rode up to Doi Suthep.

I'm American and love clowns 🙂 Don't take it too seriously or you may end up like Jing and think life revolves around "one" American. Keep on hating if that is what works for you and it might be the correct path 🙂 Cheers
