+1. They charge 1,000 baht for assembly. IHAVECPU is pretty popular with Thais. Both of these would be BTO and "remote" purchases.

When there is an issue I use the web or mobile app to Chat with the Seller. They almost always want photos of the box and contents. I use my phone, which with the app makes uploading photos simple. If on the web you'll have to get them to your PC. Out of what must be close to 500 orders I've had issues two times. Both resolved via chat. I buy from as reputable (Lazmall, high ratings, big volumes) a source as possible. Price is not the most important factor for me.

Yes, of course. The boom - imitator (100X) - drive price to unprofitable levels - move on - bust cycle has been here since forever. Were you here for the "coffee-bun" fad, ~ 2006? Any discussion on how few shops/"companies" survive now, with so many unknowns is challenging, especially with laws yet to be finalized. You will need a high concentration in tourist areas, but outside of those, not so many (per M2). Not that much different ratio from other "entertainment" service points. So the shake-out may be significant. Who knows what the final production/distribution channels will look like. Probably two - four primary "brands", like everything here. But who knows? The Hope Springs eternal.

Those prices are wholesale, but retail prices are also falling preciptiously throughout the U.S. And people forget to add on the extra taxes, which at the retail PoS amount to ~ 20%. In some cases the legal product is actually less expensive than the black/grey-market product. In my home state... https://masscannabiscontrol.com/open-data/sales-and-product-distribution/ https://www.boston.com/news/business/2022/12/13/cannabis-prices-recreational-massachusetts-plummet-dispensary-owners-future/?s_campaign=Email:BComToday&SUBID=05bc500d4b&AUDID=24232545 Here, in Thailand, there is no export market, so domestic markets only. And the only variables are tourist numbers/usage, and import volumes. I think it's safe to say that imports will decrease somewhat, although that could remain a niche market for tourists, and domestic wholesale and retail prices will decrease. The domestic market (Thais and other long-stayers) is somewhat fixed unless they/we increase consumption per capita, and production, based on grow-light and seed sales, and photos we've seen of massive outdoor grows, is growing rapidly. Unless harvests (supply) are destroyed, prices will crater. You already see sales promotions of up to 50% for older stocks. This assumes no extract products > 0.2% are allowed. If they are (vapes, edibles, concentrates, etc.) then any flower price drop might be somewhat ameliorated? Can't speak to the brick/dirt-weed but think that market will be wiped out. I'm shocked there is even a market for this now. Hardly worth the gas for the boat to make the trip across the Mekong? So yes, Thailand is "heading there".

Well they would be had Congress not passed the PLCAA in 2005. To prohibit civil liability actions from being brought or continued against manufacturers, distributors, dealers, or importers of firearms or ammunition for damages, injunctive or other relief resulting from the misuse of their products by others. https://www.congress.gov/bill/109th-congress/senate-bill/397/text

Looks like he needs cash....to potentially service Twitter debt...is he nose-diving Twitter into bankruptcy to get a better "deal" on buying back the $13B in debt? Musk cashes out another $3.6 bln in Tesla stock Dec 15 (Reuters) - Tesla (TLSA.O) boss Elon Musk disclosed another $3.6 billion in stock sales on Wednesday, taking his total near $40 billion this year and frustrating investors as the company's shares wallow at two-year lows. A U.S securities filing showed he unloaded 22 million shares in the world's most valuable carmaker over three days from Monday to Wednesday. The sale is the second big chunk of stock he has cashed out since his $44 billion purchase of Twitter in October, despite his repeated assurance in April that he was done selling Tesla shares. https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/elon-musk-sells-22-mln-tesla-shares-worth-36-bln-filing-2022-12-15/

When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. Maya Angelou And to answer your question: The U.S.A. came out "on top" here. Demanding positive changes in the U.S. hardly qualifies as an act of hate. In fact it displays love for something that can always be better, and be improved upon. I mean that's why we have Amendments to our constitution. Please see the Thirteenth and Fifteenth Amendments just to get yourself up to speed.

At one point, when Musk attempted to speak, Chappelle interrupted, saying, “Don’t say nothing. You hear that sound, Elon? That’s the sound of pending civil unrest.” After more jeers, Chappelle ended his show with a reprimand and a prayer. “Booing is not the best thing you can do,” he said. “I wish everybody in this auditorium the joy of feeling free and may your pursuit of happiness set you free. Amen.” https://edition.cnn.com/2022/12/12/business/elon-musk-booed-dave-chappelle/index.html Next up we'll be told that musk and chappelle are being "silenced". And that expressing yourself by booing is "not the best thing you can do". Seriously I can't figure these folks out. But I do love it when they show us who they really are.

Finally. But that means burning season is just around the corner.

This sounds like Plan B for the chaps who can't afford an Elephant Ticket? Plan A: pay for the promotion (often with borrowed funds from other police). Plan B: pay for the answers, and join the massive promotion queue. Plan C : Here's a motorcycle, go direct traffic. Plan D : Work at BKK/DMK.

Various leasing companies in the U.S. and Japan. With seven A350's, used on domestic routes for various reasons, the newest is being used to harvest spare parts for the other six. I think the Japanese leasing company already wrote these down as a loss. The 777s (~ 22) are leased from American companies. That's what's pictured and what they are flying to Thailand. I think they have been assured that Thailand will not allow these to be siezed.

Ex-President trump had two + years to secure Mr. Whelan's release. He was arrested in 2018 during the trump presidency. For some reason trump never mentioned Whlean's name. Trevor Reed, another American Marine arrested in Russia in 2018, also during the trump presidency. His release was made earlier this year during the Biden Presidency, in a one-to-one prisoner swap for convicted drug dealer/pilot Vadim Krasikov. I suspect that Ms. Greiner, as a million dollar (per season) employee of UMMC Yekaterinburg since 2014, traveled to/from/within Russia hundreds of times. Amazing that she was never detained for cannabis vape carts in that time, as she was just days before the Ukraine invasion. Welcome home Brittney, and congrats to Biden, Blinken, et al for getting things done. putin wants Vadim Krasikov, a convicted murderer held in Germany, for Whelan. Can't see that happening.

The police investigating the police. Yeah, that always works. You need an independent commsission of 5 - 7 individuals with no ties to the RTP, to get any real reforms. Otherwise just get a maid, a broom and a really large carpet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knapp_Commission The Knapp Commission Report on Police Corruption identified two particular classes of corrupt police officer, which it called "Grass Eaters" and "Meat Eaters". This classification refers to petty corruption under peer pressure ("eating grass") and aggressive premeditated major corruption ("eating meat").[4] The term "Grass Eaters" is used to describe police officers who "accept gratuities and solicit five, ten, twenty dollar payments from contractors, tow-truck operators, gamblers, and the like but do not pursue corruption payments". "Grass eating" is something that a significant number of officers are guilty of, but which they learned to do from other cops or from imitating the deviants they watch and investigate every day. The commission even concluded that "grass eating" was used by police officers in New York City to prove their loyalty to the brotherhood, and with that came incentives like side jobs. One method of preventing cops from becoming corrupt is to eliminate this step by removing veteran cops who do this; without any veteran cops to learn this from, new officers might decide to never "eat grass". "Meat Eaters" are officers who "spend a good deal of time aggressively looking for situations they can exploit for financial gain". An example of this is shaking down pimps and illicit drug dealers for money, not only for the material profit to the officers, but for the relief from guilt that the officers derive by convincing themselves that their victims deserve such treatment. They justify taking advantage of these kinds of criminals because they are considered the dregs of society.

Yes, I did. Second big issue: Did everybody catch that OS listing at the top? Google supports Windows 11 with passkeys—not Windows 10—which is going to make this a tough sell. Statcounter has Windows 11 at 16 percent of the total Windows install base, with Windows 10 at 70 percent. So if you happen to make a passkey account, you could only log in on newer Windows computers.

Did you use pay.gov? Can you describe that account creation process? Did you use this link? https://www.pay.gov/public/form/start/42156675 So the net-net is that you still need to include a local Thai bank draft for 100 THB when you mail in your renewal? And if you get a passport card do you include a draft for 200 THB, or two separate drafts for 100 THB each?

So they'll get these BEFORE the submarine.

"Urged". Prayut issues many orders every day. Surely he can order the MPs/Senator to Parliament? Get the RTP/RTA/ISOC to round up these wayward legislators. Surely they are violating their oath of office, and several dozen other laws? I think most are simply bored, and choose to sleep at home rather than in Parliament? And they are waiting for the next "act" in this silly sequel of Thai-style Democracy.

RIP Passwords? Passkey support rolls out to Chrome stable https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/12/rip-passwords-passkey-support-rolls-out-to-chrome-stable/ https://developers.google.com/identity/passkeys/supported-environments

Nice deflection. I am not surprised there are illegal imports from Laos. Why ever did you go there? I am very anti-imports, especially from the U.S., mainly because I choose to support Thai growers. I have not purchased any imported cannabis, to the best of my knowledge (~ 99% certainty). OK, so no supplier details. And no photos. Got it. Interesting that you deflect (again) with such ease, and make photos out to be "silly", or "porn" related. How odd. And of course no photos of your 45 - 50 plant grow of Thai Sativa Landrace.

I think that most people mean tincture when they ask about oil. That is it is something taken orally. Can you share any details on this "research programme"? I'm surprised they accepted foreigners - I've made that assumption - into such a programme? Or did you have to sign an NDA?

Can you share any photos of these buds? And what does "dank" mean to you? At 7.5 baht/gram, hand-picked, trimmed and carefully packaged buds grown in Laos and transported here, I'm wondering who is making any money, and are you relying on identured labor for your dankness? Why support growers from outside of Thailand? And the illegal activity of importing cannbis into Thailand? Green Crack, also known as Green Carck on some sellers' page, is - I am 100% confident - simply a name any Schmoe can attach to a cannabis "product". The real Green Crack is a sativa-dominant (65/35) strain and is pretty darn good.

Depends, but for the average portable dry-herb vaporizer ~ 0.05 grams. I get three solid hits (with two smaller ones on either side, you can fluff and re-hit, I don't, some save the remnants, brown not burnt, for further processing, I don't). Yes, you grind first. Portable, discreet, quick-use, no torch/flame required, clean taste, smell, high. I use 190 C. There is a thread here on these. Now widely available here on line.

Somewhat related...in the U.S. it is rumored that the Senate may vote on the SAFE Act during their lame duck session. The SAFE Banking Act, which allows cannabis businesses in states where it is legal to open bank accounts and get loans, has already passed the House six times. https://www.axios.com/2022/12/03/senate-marijuana-legislation-chuck-schumer This would be another step in the directon of Federal legaliztion of cannabis in the U.S.

While it is correct that smoking cannabis within a dispensary or shop was deemed illegal a few weeks ago, with the medical treatment exception, it does appear as though there may be a hack. Tourists puff and pass with buds at Khaosan’s new cannabis complex Plantopia management has found a way to avoid the big fines and jail time threatened for dispensaries which allow smoking on the premises by building a designated smoking lounge equipped with a ventilation system for people to light up. https://coconuts.co/bangkok/features/tourists-puff-and-pass-with-buds-at-khaosans-new-cannabis-complex/ Whether these continue to be allowed remains to be seen. If they do then one could expect this "alternative" - a ventilated space unassociated with a sepcific dispensary, and acceptable tot he "authorities" - to expand to/within other entertainment and tourist areas.

They just love abusing their young people. And they love their hazing rituals. Just a few weeks ago they roasted ~ 1,000 school students in Surin in 39 C heat to try for a Guiness Record.
