He couldn't pretend that this woman was stealing his purchases, he hadn't paid for them yet.
This is an unacceptable reaction and I hope he will be found and punished accordingly.
A few days in prison and a strong deposit will do him good.

I think that if you read a bit  more carefully  you will realize  they were outside in the  car park which would  mean he had indeed  paid for them.

That does not excuse his  violence in any way though.

Strange how things have changed.  When I was at school we were hit with rulers, blackboard dusters, canes, PE slippers and parents were told and there was never a complaint.  However it is a very fine line and Thai teachers like to hit kids as young as 6 for no reason.  We deserved our punishment !  I don't think you ever hear of Thai teachers hitting 16 year old kids. There would be revenge.

They do. Have witnessed it !

My original issue is unresolved. I have tried every available  utility to try and crack the problem. My Linux system can detect the drive  but can not  mount it. My Win 8.1 has decided to ignore it completely. I have  removed from  original casing into a generic  housing with no better result. Serial No.s off it  are not any more recognizable than those  on the box. The   drive label warning about  voiding warranty looks like an amateur attempt at copy, is wrinkled and  poorly attached  and contains a miss-print. I am forced to concede that whatever/ however it was produced/ (recycled ?) I perhaps would have had  some better luck leaving it alone in exFAT  format but that is how hindsight usually works. The cost would have bought me half a bottle of Irish whisky but even that ends up down the drain.

Lazada requests my feedback . I shall certainly provide  it ! I doubt it will bother them if it is  not altogether positive . lol

Sorry to hijack this thread but if some kind person could offer advice I would be most great full.

 

So Ive read through the comments but I’m still wondering what's the best thing to do?

 

I have 3 individual home computers each running a different operating system......

 

Computer 1 – running Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon
Computer 2 – running Mac OS X Mojave 10.14.6
Computer 3 – running Windows 10.

 

I have just purchased a brand new Western Digital 2TB external USB drive from Big C that was on special offer .

 

I would like to store photographs and a range of miscellaneous items like zip files / .ods denouements / pdf documents / etc on this new Western Digital 2TB external USB drive.

 

I would like to if possible to access all the stored content on this new Western Digital 2TB external USB drive using 2 of the computers shown below.....

 

Computer 1 – running Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon
Computer 2 – running Mac OS X Mojave 10.14.6

 

I’m still a bit hazy as to which format protocol to use to re format this new USB external drive to allow it to be fully useable on both computer 1 and 2. 

 

I think I can use any of the above 3 computers to re format the new drive .

 

The new drive is still in its box and I have not yet plugged it into any computer.

 

I’m looking for advice as I don’t want to end up messing up the new external drive and in the end making it unusable.????.

 

 

Thanks.

 

You have  a Windows OS so would suggest initially checking the  format on that .

Given that Biden has affirmed he will not "interfere" with actions taken by the DOJ certainly does not rule out some severe raking through the  *hit pile in due course.

Just a thought......

Are you doing a FULL format or a QUICK format?

The Windows 10 default is Quick Format (Don't know about W 8 - never used it)

 

 

Thing is, a Quick format doesn't really format the entire surface - quite a good explanation HERE  

If I was changing the type of format between NTFS to/from ex-FAT or FAT I would always do a full format - in fact when  I buy a new drive I do anyway - my latest acquisition, a 5TB WD Passport was left formatting overnight.

 

For those who mentioned WD drives - I can heartily recommend them - I've had more than a dozen over the years - all still going strong!

 

And...   @sometime   The response to your comment about HD size/capacity is here

EG, See my screenshot above: my drive was sold as 1TB - in reality, as you can see, I get 931GB after formatting. Some would say it's cheating, but that's how it is and has always been.

 

Yes, was attempting  full format. Win 8.0/8.1 is exact same as Win10 for this and other functions.

I don't know, maybe something got lost in translation because I'm not a native English speaker, but wasn't this your post?

 

 

Ok. I understand that  my wording  lead to show to some  confusion. My intention was to say there is no evidence to disprove  Milk Thistle is  ineffective . There is  some evidence that it  is  effective to some degree.

Modern  conventional medical science has a problem with not being able to identify specific  components  of effectiveness and so  tends  to  decry significance.

There's a difference between those that can appreciate there may be valid claims as to its efficacy versus those that simply take it as an excuse to carry on getting bladdered.

lol. True!

That is also what I said in my post, you should try to read it again, that alternatives MAY reduce the risk of potential damage.

 

As for your claim that there is inconclusive evidence that conventional medicines can reduce the risk, where is your irrefutable evidence that natural products are effective?

Did I claim there is "inconclusive" evidence? There is  some evidence  that claims for such as Milk Thistle  do have  efficacy  therefore  there is no cause  to  decry such claims.A simple example: https://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/milk-thistle-benefits-and-side-effects#1

Thw president of these schools said this. How can the teachers be expected to have a healthy attitude, when the director is a half man, without any willingness to take any responsibility?

 

“We don’t need more meetings,” Piboon said. “I’m afraid it will end up like the red shirts today. What’re they cheering about? They’re not showing courtesy. They’re not willing to fix it.”

 

“They just want to win,” he went on. “Please give the school an opportunity to address it. We come in peace and I would like to apologize to the parents.”

 

You have failed both the parents and the students, repeatedly. 

 

Is it that hard to find a decent school here? I would transfer my kid in a nanosecond. They don't deserve the patronage. 

And of  course if it had  not eventuated in the exposure of events there would have been no incentive at all  to "address the problem " !

I guess you missed this crucial line in my post

 

liver damage is irreparable once it has occurred.

Perhaps so in conventional medical opinion. However that does  not  refute  some claims that  herbal/natural products  can at  least reduce risk potential damage  initially that  "conventional "  alternatives  do not or  can not due to  inconclusive  evidence. Is that  a good  reason  to  decry or  refute ?

I have done a lot of research on this in the past, not for alcohol but eventual use of oral steroids, and I have also talked about this with a doctor who is a good friend.

 

What I found is that liver damage is irreparable once it has occurred.

 

There are additives, like milk thistle and others, that can help in preventing damage or make it less likely.

 

Of course there are always the alternative medicine advocates that claim that big pharma is hiding things, but show me proof of many thousands of people that had their liver healed this way.

 

I'm sure someone will be here soon to claim that marijuana is the perfect medicine for liver damage

 

 

So can you show  me a "Big Pharma" type of  alternative  that does better?  There lies the  crux of  such debate.

 It is  a reason to applaud  the application of  anti corruption remedies .

What is eligible to "bash" is the selective  application .

Given that the  majority of  Thai are  victim to  corruption and avoidance of  legal process does not  mean they would not  welcome  even for themselves a genuine shift  to  the elimination of it.

It is not so much as  "heads in sand" as it is repression and  retaliation for not complying to  and even to the extent  of adopting the "norm".

Is Milk Thistle Good for the Liver?

There’s conflicting research on the benefits of milk thistle for liver health. It may have protective effects on the liver, preventing damage. There’s some evidence that milk thistle can treat cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis, which can be caused by alcohol abuse, autoimmune disease, or viruses. But experts say that the evidence isn’t conclusive.

Some studies also show milk thistle may help people whose liver is damaged by industrial toxins, such as toluene and xylene.

 

There is not enough scientific data to say whether or not milk thistle can help liver problems. Get the facts on milk thistle for the liver

 

https://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/milk-thistle-benefits-and-side-effects#1

 

If you are already taking herbal remedies with questionable veracity as a prophylaxis for liver ailments, then you already have a problem (and it's not in your liver).

Is that last line  your own?  There is little  of genuine concern to indicate more than  advisory  caution with respect to  some allergic reactivity that is no more than for anything more extraordinary than Kiwi fruit !

There is reasonable evidence to indicate  it  actually is somewhat  effective as in claims about many  herbal or  natural items.

An extreme  example is  Manuka Honey from New Zealand which defies analytical explanation but which many times has been successful as a last resort  for negating deadly bacterial resistant infections.

Time after time traditional ancient  remedies have  been proven to have  justifiable  merit. Denigrating them is more often than not in the interest  of  such as  "Big Pharma"  who have derived and concentrated  effective  components  while  claiming  the "invention" or "creation" of them !

Maybe the  question behind the  question is ...what made you ask the  question?
