  1. Can you share any more details? Any photos? This "burn" is deep inside the bud? How did it come to be "trapped"? Is this foliar or uptake? Do indoor growers use pesticides? And how does this "stand out"? Please share you expertise. Sorry but "trapped dirt"? Where? In a bud?
  2. Can you tell us more about these "nasties" which you see using your microscope?
  3. There was a recent thread here (and it started with the same fallacy), within the last 30 days, regarding renewal times using the U.S. Embassy's mail-in (or appointment for drop-off) process. The average seemed to be 15 real, working (no U.S. or Thai holidays) days, door-door. The same results seem to be holding for the Facebook experiences I've seen documented in the last few months, three weeks.
  4. Since the OP mentioned Mint, and other Mint users have chimed in, and many of us use UltraMobile... T‑Mobile to Acquire and Turbocharge Mint Mobile and Ultra Mobile, Brands Will Continue Delivering Value on the Un‑carrier’s 5G Network Bellevue, Wash. – March 15, 2023 – T-Mobile US (NASDAQ: TMUS) today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Ka’ena Corporation and its subsidiaries and brands: Mint Mobile, a successful direct-to-consumer (D2C) prepaid wireless brand in the U.S.; Ultra Mobile, a unique wireless service offering international calling options to communities across the country; and wholesaler Plum. With this deal, the brands’ exclusive use of the Un-carrier’s largest, fastest and most reliable 5G network will continue. T-Mobile is acquiring the brands' sales, marketing, digital, and service operations, and plans to use its supplier relationships and distribution scale to help the brands to grow and offer competitive pricing and greater device inventory to more U.S. consumers seeking value offerings. The Un-carrier will also be able to leverage Mint’s industry-leading digital D2C marketing expertise as part of its broader portfolio to reach new customer segments and geographies. The Mint and Ultra brands are complementary to the company’s current prepaid service offerings Metro by T-Mobile, T-Mobile branded prepaid and Connect by T-Mobile. https://www.t-mobile.com/news/business/t-mobile-to-acquire-mint-and-ultra-mobile Who knows what impacts this might have on us as customers. Hopefully none. And this may be why the $13 UltraMobile SIM was unavailable on eBay, and that it might reappear? Nevermind, it looks like the $13 UM SIM is now available on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/str/mintmobilewireless Use a VPN with a U.S. IP address to "see" this $13 UM SIM. I've activated two of these with help of family in the U.S. I even ported my old TMo number into UM, during one activation. I created accounts with UM, then during the realtime activation used the SMS sent to activate the account. It was surprisingly simple. Then I had the SIM mailed to me here. I use WiFi calling, but it can be tricky depending on the handset, so I default to the GSM roaming and pay for the SMS. All that said I use GoogleVoice for 100% of my SMS OTPs without issue, across dozens of accounts, multiple times per day.
  5. I'd go back to the original source, I assume you liked it, and negotiate a volume buy, or work your way upstream?
  6. Oy vey. They're three different colors/finishes. Up to you.
  7. You can eat anything. Personally I throw the resulting biomass in the trash.
  8. The election results will not be "revealed" by 16 May. During the last "election" unofficial results were released + four days, with official results released + six weeks. Thaksin should not be making flight arrangements just yet - yes, I know he'll fly private. I can't see him returning, ever. Upright, or in an urn.
  9. "Most voters" have but one, single vote. And that vote is not cast for a coalition. Some of the coalitions that this academic propose are laughable.
  10. Can you share any photos showing these "leftovers"? Can you describe them? Is this a fertilizer sprayed onto the plant? Or a result of uptake from the soil/medium? I think you face two distinct challenges. One is finding an acceptable 1:1 strain, and the other is finding true organic growers. And there can be huge variations (phenotypes) within a strain name. The obvious solution is to grow your own but that doesn't appear possible in your case. Short of that would be to contract an organic grower to grow clones/seeds you provide. Have you ever located a suitable and acceptable strain, anywhere at anytime? Can you share those strain names? Have you ever located an acceptably organic grown variety of any kind? Where, what, when, price? What volume and price are you will to commit to? Rare, low-yielding strains grown organically are going to be expensive, more so at low volumes. There are organic growers out there, outdoor, greenhouse and even indoor, but they are hard to find. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1lK9SKirwg Well there you go, get the FiL to grow cannabis organically for you. Problem solved.
  11. This is covered in the Constitution. Parties can put forth up to threenames as PM candidates, one of which could be put up for a vote in Parliament. I do not think this is binding though (open question with no precedent). Section 88. In a general election, a political party sending a candidate for election shall notify the Election Commission of not more than three names of persons endorsed by resolution of the political party that would be proposed to the House of Representatives for consideration and approval for appointment as Prime Minister prior to the end of the period for application for candidacy. The Election Commission shall announce the names of such persons to the public, and the provisions of section 87 paragraph two shall apply, mutatis mutandis. A political party may decide not to propose a list of names of persons under paragraph one. AFAIK, the PM does not need to be an elected or party-list MP.
  12. It's probably going to come down to ten or fewer MPs, and/or a coalition slapped together involving a few of the smaller parties. The payoff for them will be IMMENSE. PPRP/UTN/BJT have presumably whipped several scenarios, including both "legal" and "potentially not illegal" actions, to insure that after the dust settles they form the next government. Prayut did tell us he had a "twenty-year" plan, shortly after he assured us that there would NOT be a coup.
  13. Seems like balcony safety and defenestrations could be another area of "cooperation". Interesting that Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt delegated this "Signing". Savvy move.
  14. I'd still like an explanation for these traffic stop actions, and the policies governing them and the police expectations from the public. Why are they stopping cars? Is it just suspicion of DWI? If so, why are passengers subject to scrutiny (remember the police initially said Ms. An had a visa issue)? Are they assumed to be violating the law? What is expected of passengers? What legal obligations are passengers subject to? IMO, the police appear to have very little (none?) civilian oversight or supervision, and the purpose of these stops seems to straight up EXTORTION. We've gone from a few bad apples, to a rotten tree, to an infected orchard. It is unrealistic to expect the public to respect the law when the primary face of the law appear to be little more than Mob Enforcers. It is challenging to determine if corruption among the police is more rampant now, or whether it is a result of more public exposure. I suspect it's a combination of the two. Even Big Joke has been required to bury quite a few MAJOR corruption scandals, either by dismissing them outright (Tu Hao), or by referring them to the NACC, where corruption cases go to die.
  15. This would seem like a strange marketing effort. Incur extra cost to "lace" cannabis with methamphetamine or pesticides, which cannot even be metabolized by smoking. Is it? Can you share a link, all Thai TV stations have web sites, FB pages and YT channels, so it should be easy for you to find. I have not heard this "hot topic". My guess is that your wife is trying to discourage you from smoking cannabis. What kind of cannabis are you buying and smoking? Maybe a photo? How much are you paying per gram. And are you experiencing any negative effects from smoking this cannabis?
  16. What is your budget? How do you consume your cannabis? What quality level cannabis do you consume? Try an inexpensive plastic grinder, see if it works for you. Watch YouTube video reviews, read internet reviews. I prefer 4-stage, ~ 63 mm metal grinder. You can find these for as little as 200 baht. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/cnc-40mm-63mm-4-grinder-herb-i3987361894-s15899913311.html?
  17. from the linked article... The Phuket Express noted the Phuket Provincial Police did not mention if these three were sent to the Phuket Immigration for possible yellow or red cards under a new classification system for misbehaving foreigners being tested in Phuket. So it sounds like this yellow/red card scheme is discretionary?
  18. No. But that's my opinion. AFAIK, things like hookahs and whatever it is they smoke in those, along with eCig rigs and the fluids consumed in those, are illegal, and maybe just to import. DHV are not specifically mentioned in most government documents I've seen, perhaps because they are somewhat unique. Might a policeman hassle you for dry-herb vaping out in public? Sure, so be discreet. I mean you weren't planning on heading out to Walking Street with your bong were you? https://aseannow.com/topic/1264162-weed-vaporizer/
  19. What is the diagnosis on your lungs? Again, without any background or detail it's challenging, but IME a dry-herb vaporizer may be the best solution both to experience the flower's characteristics and to be gentle on the lungs. With a quality DHV nothing is burned - you'll be shocked at the resulting "used" material after a sesh. If you're going to be consuming any extracts (shatter, budder, crumble et al) then a modular bong which can accept a dab rig would be the way to go. https://bong-party.com/ ...has a decent selection of bongs, IME. You can watch YouTube videos to get reviews on DHV and bongs. There have a been a few threads here on DHV.
  20. Chuwit had an epic fail with the Chinese Mafia "incidents" as Big Joke has "decided" not to press forward on the Tu Hao and Yu Xin Qi "cases". Chuwit is losing steam so he needs some sort of big "win".
  21. Since cannabis wasn't specifically mentioned, and you can be sure it would be if it could be, one assumes methamphetamine was the drug of choice. Meth, the drug of choice given its low cost (1 ~ 5 baht per pill) and tangible physical results, is the scourge of Thailand.
  22. CW https://tm47.immigration.go.th/tm47/#/login My range with CW: 24 hours ~ 6 days. Average for CW for me and others here (based on posts I've seen): 3 working days. My most recent experience: 25/03/2023 08:26:57 submitted 30/03/2023 09:52:12 approved FWIW I did NOT receive the perfunctory reminder email for this most recent reporting period. As long as it is still "pending" you've got a good chance - may clear today, but if this is the first time using the online system there can be issues with the addressing scheme and building name.
  23. Who the heck wants to be a teacher, or school administrator these days. Maybe in Iran but certainly not Florida. Science has already been co-opted; soon the religious theocrats will figure out a way to make math a wedge-issue.
  24. Do you know if True or 3BB offers service in your location? Which AIS Fibre package do you have? What is the speed down/up for your service? Are you an AIS mobile telephone post-paid customer? How long have you been an AIS Fibre customer? You can contact AIS and tell them exactly what you want, and what price you're willing to pay for it. Otherwise tell them you are looking at alternatives. I have AIS Fibre ONLY, 1.0 Gbps/500 Mpbs. After having been a customer for a few years, I negotiated this package for 399/month (427.47 with VAT) ~ two years ago. AS with mobile phone service (post-paid), they don't want to lose customers. BTW, you can do the same for post-paid mobile phone service, shaved 300 baht/mo. of my bill for the same service level.
  25. Fox News did settle with the family of Seth Rich, for what some of their hosts (Lou Dobbs, Sean Hannity, the Fox & Friends crew) purported about Mr. Rich, just before the Fox hosts were set to be quesitoned under oath. Fox Settled a Lawsuit Over Its Lies. But It Insisted on One Unusual Condition. Why did the network insist an agreement with the family of a murdered young man remain undisclosed until after the election? Fox’s decision to settle with the Rich family came just before its marquee hosts, Lou Dobbs and Sean Hannity, were set to be questioned under oath in the case, a potentially embarrassing moment. And Fox paid so much that the network didn’t have to apologize for the May 2017 story on FoxNews.com. But there was one curious provision that Fox insisted on: The settlement had to be kept secret for a month — until after the Nov. 3 election. The exhausted plaintiffs agreed. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/17/business/media/fox-news-seth-rich-settlement.html Fox News Settles With Seth Rich's Parents For False Story Claiming Clinton Leaks Numerous U.S. intelligence agencies and Special Counsel Robert Mueller concluded it was hackers with ties to Russian spy agencies - not Rich - who were behind the theft of the DNC emails that were posted by Wikileaks during the 2016 presidential campaign. The email disclosures threw Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's campaign off balance. She never fully regained her footing. Even at the time, Democrats attributed the theft to Russian hackers. Within weeks, however, Fox News hosts and guests were pursuing conspiracy theories centering on Clinton's campaign, Democrats, and Rich as a tortured Bernie Sanders supporter who went rogue - none of which they could prove. Zimmerman's story, which seemed to give heft to those claims, was posted online on May 16, 2017 and then discussed at length on Fox & Friends and shows led by Sean Hannity and Lou Dobbs. https://www.npr.org/2020/11/24/938545344/fox-news-settles-with-seth-richs-parents-for-false-story-claiming-clinton-leaks
