Wrong... its extremely relevant.. you use the word 'could' as in argued what 'could have happened'... 'could' is the wrong word... if left untreated infection and sepsis is something that 'would' have happened.... this is not a hypothetical situation, this the path of deterioration her condition would have taken without further treatment.

That is relevant, because it shows sloppy work and the next one may get the problems. Agreed.... high risk of sepsis... completely relevant to the thread. In fact 'given' the details in the report infection had set in and the onset of sepsis was very likely imminent.

Interesting concept, but you’ve mixed up dependency & necessity.

Lots of complaints about this insurance company here… lots of accusations of calling the company ‘scammers’… I’m inclined to agree. https://www.comparetravelinsurance.com.au/travel-insurance-companies/cover-more

There's a missing option... - I drink when I want, either alone or socially, sometimes a lot, sometimes a little, at other times I go for weeks or months without. The reason I wanted to add that - on 'other threads' which involve a discussion of alcohol there is always a 'puritanical' group who simply cannot accept the middle ground between abstinence and destructive dependency... How dependent am I on booze... Truthfully I'd suggest very... I'm also very dependent on playing football 2-3 times per week, I'm very dependent on at least a couple of really enjoyable meals per week, I'm dependent on a couple of cups of coffee each morning... I'm quite dependent on a lot of things I enjoy..... BUT... IF you're talking 'addiction' and serious risk to heath compared to just 'enjoying something'... then thats different. If I had a choice, give up coffee or booze I'd say I'd give up booze... but that depends on the quality of coffee I can have !!!... oh hang on, that also depends on the quality of booze because there are some awesome single malts out there... and then there are some great wines... and some cracking craft beers... My head hurts... I think I'll have glass of wine and a nice rib-eye then.... ... so... Dependant much ?? quite likeley !!!! - I just can't be bothered to argue with the puritanical fools who fail to see the balanced middle ground with this stuff...

You sure? Perhaps the body recognizes what is about to occur and goes into immediate shut-down mode. I'm not so sure.... its a 90 second free fall from 18,000 feet to chute deployment altitude, which is approximately 5000 ft.... So thats about 90 seconds for 13,000 ft of free fall. .... So roughly 27 seconds of 'ponderane' as it has been described... I very much doubt the 'body goes into 'shut down' mode in anticipation of imminent death, however, some people may pass out due to a fear response (as shown on some video rides etc).

But... it has a degree of 'power' simply due to its market presence and as an 'expert' in the Global Tourism industry authorities would do well to listen to the 'experts'.... Completely agree with this..... Thailand already 'does' tourism well... It just needs to 'polish' what it does to and do a better job or courting, welcoming tourists and not ostracising tourists with dual pricing and making frequent public announcements and create policies with indicate an underlying thought that 'tourists are just a burden'..... The single biggest two show stoppers at the moment are the Costs of flights and costs of hotels in Key tourist areas.... Thailand does do well at Marketing itself as a 'foodie' destination and it most certainly is... not just Thai food, but decently priced excellent food from all over. Agreed.... Thailand has been crying out for improvements in these area's for decades.

That's nothing to do with the positioning of the lights, it was 100% the fault of whoever illegally erected the signs. Agreed... Every election time simply pulling out of a side soi becomes more hazardous than usual as these large signes right at the junctions edge are positioned blocking visibility to on-coming traffic such that we have to edge out....... annoying as heck and I wanted to move a couple of them out of the way *(at the entrance to my moo-baan).... ... But, I recall reading in the news not too long ago that someone was actually 'charged' for damaging public property for defacing one of those signs.... so the optics of a foreigner pulling one down would see a good few 'hang-him-high then deport him' posts from the 'you're just a guest in this country' brigade !!!

You will (should) be fine with any new phone and either / or a Wired (USB) or BlueTooth connection to your Car.... and then play your Spotify to either Apple Car Play or the Andriod version. The charging issue.... that may be a valid concern and it depends on the 'size' of the pad and where the charging coil is 'located' in the care in specific relation (position) to how you place down the phone, all of which are slightly varying 'size'.... Apple use something called MagSafe for this reason - the 'charing coil' magnetically locks in to place with the iPhone so that it is positioned perfectly to charge. Without this 'magnetic lock' (magnetic positioning) the phone may not be positioned correctly and may not charge. As with charging any phone in any car there is always an alternative which is simply to charge through the USB Port (or a 12 volt power outlet with a USB charger / adapter). Ultimately, whatever phone you have will connect via BlueTooth to any modern car (caveat - unless there is some software block I'm unaware of).

Plenty of slack going your way... and fair enough, its the miserable farts of all ages who a couple of us posters are calling out for their inability to control their 'inner Karen' and blurt their halfwitted musings across these pages instead of simply moving on past something they claim doesn't interest them or they don't like... In this example... I think the guy might too much of an attention seeker, but, he's earning an estimated $1.2million (yes, 1.2 Million US dollars) per year.... So I say, good on him - its seems others just can't see that. Mr Beast was mentioned earlier on in this thread and I think the same... But, good on him too. None of it is 'my cup of tea'... but if they're making a 'clean' living, I have more respect form them than I do half of the Politicians and Bankers !!!.... (just to add some perspective !).

Exactly..... this thread is a pure lightening rod for the monging misers who are still dextrously agile enough to flit from one screen to another and remember they now have to act annoyed on this thread while justifying that they can still pleasure a 25 year in another !!!... .... they may consider it brain exercise... Keep the grey matter working, the brain is a muscle and all that !!!

If ever there was a thread which draws out the 'boomers' like an old Thai Auntie to an eat all you want seafood buffet is going to be this one... Guys are jealous that he has more money?... Guys don't like that he's getting attention?... If you don't like his stuff, don't read it... its really not that difficult... I don't pay any attention to the Kardashian stuff and neither do I to this guy... But the hate on here seems somewhat unhinged... All I can say is 'not my cup of tea, but if he's making plenty of money, good on him'..... AND... as for those criticising Policemen for 'moonlighting'.... Well... most doormen in Thailand are also Police officers... I've met plenty of Police officers who are taxi drivers, delivery riders etc... So what's wrong with these guys making extra money when its ok for everyone else (when not otherwise on duty of course) ???

To cheer up us forum members... Perhaps you'd like a photo of a lovely beach and romantic sunset but that would fall out of context... OMF clearly has a full catalogue of such photos !!!!

Maybe, IF meeting traditional female from a lower socio-economic demographic and perhaps those who have no confidence in their ability to evaluate their perspective date, they want 'backup'.... But in this case..... She was just another working girl trying to fleece her mark... So many obvious red-flags throughout the story. It's amazing guys lack the power to draw a line and as soon as that line is even remotely approached they cannot walk away.... - First flag, drink and stay over (IF the Op is, she most certainly isn't looking for a long term relationship). - Cultural show / deposit ???? never even heard of such a thing.
