There are no 750 strains, that's total marketing BS, effect is just batch-dependent. There are no differentiated phenotypes and red/green/white are initially just different drying methods used in Indonesia (red is dried under the sun, green is dried indoor, white is usually a mix of both or other parts of the leaf like veins). The color of the midvein, which can indeed be red or green, is in no way correlated to alkaloid content.

Effect is dose-dependent: low dose = stimulant, high dose = sedative

It's called greedflation and it's the new thing, everybody's doing it, from huge to small companies. And the numbers are staggering... This so-called inflation episode is actually a gigantic worldwide robbery. "Among the companies that increased their profits most from the pre-pandemic average were: ExxonMobil: profits of £15bn increased to £53bn Shell: £16bn up to £44bn Glencore: £1.9 bn up to £14.8bn Archer-Daniels-Midland: £1.4bn up to £3.16bn Kraft Heinz: £265m up to £1.8bn" https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/dec/07/greedflation-corporate-profiteering-boosted-global-prices-study

Proper backpedaling there, good to see :) Thx for the heads up!

You want to use crypto for this kind of transfer, you'd save a lot of money. Using a stablecoin (like USDC or USDT, where 1 USDC/T is always =1 USD) so no market risk. At today's rates (1 USDC = 34.61 THB = 1.48 AUD on Bitazza+Swyftx) THB->USDC->AUD gives 1 AUD = 23.38 THB while mid-market now is actually 23.47 (xe.com)... Transfer itself costs just a few cents so you don't transfer all at once, for safety you can (and should!) test the route first with a small amount. Don't feed the bank: be the bank and save your money :D Feel free to PM if you want I'm happy to help on those

Aerobatics were in a Decathlon not the 152 lol With what 100HP no chance the 152 would even go anywhere near vertical anyway :D The spins we did in the 152 a bit later in the training but I remember we'd only go for 1/2 spin and recover way short of full because the AC was not certified as aerobatic.

1994 here... I also went through some spin recovery but I remember at the time CFI insisted that it was not part of syllabus. I cant say I was shocked though because introductory flight had consisted of landing the 152 on a muddy dirt trail to attend a huge crayfish jamboree at a farm, then (!) a few loops and rolls (and a couple hammerheads, fun indeed) in a Decathlon. Then we had to wash the mud collected upon landing off the 152, so FBO (nor FAA :D ) wouldn't know of our little escape. Proper good times lol

Uh in what country or age? In the US spin recovery training was dropped decades ago. Modern idea is to avoid getting into a spin in the first place, and it does make a lot of sense. Reality showed that if you're getting inadvertently into a spin, it's most probably at a low altitude which will not allow for recovery anyway. Edit: apparently Canada still does spin recovery though.

You might want to look into the anti-diabetes properties of kratom, and use that too to control sugar level.

Actually Thai beef can be quite good. The problem is it's usually sold too fresh, like killed at 3am and sold at market at 6-8am, that's what doesn't work. You need to either find a butcher who ages the meat for at least a few days, or do it yourself.

You're talking about something you don't know anything about. The requirement does apply in all cases. I personally learned that the hard way, trying to re-enter TH on a non-B with 5.5 months left on passport... I couldn't board my flight in KL and was only able to enter at land border after several hours of negotiation and a *big* fee.

"Passport validity Your passport must have at least 6 months’ validity remaining from your date of entry into Thailand." https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/thailand/entry-requirements ^^

Neither, just verify. Call a couple airlines and they will all confirm they don't even let you board a flight with less than 6 months validity left.

Why do you give so wrong an advice? Thailand's requirements for entry DOES include at least 6 months of validity in your passport. And that rule is strictly enforced. /baffled

No. The 6-month validity is strictly enforced everywhere, including by the airlines. You will simply not be able to board your flight. (1st hand experience)
