That's almost 2,000 THB/kg, exactly how is it a bargain? That's about twice the price of a good quality product in Frogland ^^

Nonsense. The allegation that the reported events of 7th October 2023 were a hoax was cooked up by Le Monde (surprise, surprise) in a totally salacious article. . The fact is that women, children and babies were horribly killed, and hostages were taken and tortured. 

You're a liar. The beheaded babies hoax was debunked by Haaretz.

Please stop lying now will you?

"In December 2023, Haaretz published the results of a comprehensive investigation into the violence of October 7. The conclusion was that while Hamas had committed real "atrocities" that day, some of the extreme acts attributed to the group never happened and were fueling denialism about October 7."

All sources on the wikipedia page linked above.

You call yourself a 'centrist American Jew'. On the 7th of October 2023 Israeli civilians were brutally murdered by palestinians. Girls and women were tortured, raped and killed, and babies were beheaded and burned alive. Hostages were taken, then starved and tortured.

I am a centrist Anglo Christian. If that happened to my people there would be hell to pay. All those who were responsible, directly or indirectly  for the torture and death of my people would suffer a similar fate, in spades.

The lies you are parroting have been debunked by israeli media themselves, shame on you.

During normal times I would agree with you……but with Putin’s aggression and full scale invasion of Ukraine it’s a different game I’d say shoot to kill warning optional.

how about you and your kids grab some rifles and put your feet were your big mouth is.

My understanding is that years ago Turkiye did shoot ome down and surprise surprise the Russian provocations stopped and Russia seems to greatly respect Turkiye to this day.

How do you effectively deal with a bully?

Certainly not strongly worded letters and statements of concern.

you watch - and believe - too much tv. "understanding" is way too strong a word to describe your mere obedience to propaganda. In reality you should be ashamed of yourself but in our upside-down world you can feel good about your virtue signaling and self-rightousness.

Take your slur and shove it up your arse. We all know who is miserable here. Out of your reaction, I would say that you are on such risky permission to stay, and you are now shaking in your boots. Maybe you are on long stay, but lack of funds. Don´t worry, that will be the next they will scrutinize. 

Now I tell you how it affects me, and it´s in a really good way! I get to read about all those who think moving abroad is something everyone can do. Coming here breaking the rules, so it becomes more hard and complicated for all of us that has our papers right and with solid economy who actually can hack it in Thailand or any other foreign country by following the rules as well as meet up to the levels and requirements.

So, yeah I get really happy to read things like this, and thinking about the 10k of fakers and fools who got affected and now faces deportation. Hope the same will happen in other areas too. Maybe it will be clean and nice here too, and we will not have so many total morons as well.

After that, there is no problem with me and fun as well as socializing on any party. Just don´t do it with morons and fakers. I deal with real stand up guys that was their sheeps in order.

Nobody's gonna read your bitter drivel. Get a life.

Why is Putin importing more N Korean troops ?     What does he need them for, because Russia is not being invaded.

The unquestionable fact that his own forces have been depleted, is only because he has chosen to invade an independant, sovreign state. 

You're a good parrot, congrats

A little bit more complicated than that as israel didnt start the war. But with the conspiracies floating around here people are trying to say that they did

Yes they did, at the beginning of 20th century, with some delusional people deciding to go for some messianic colonial project at the expense of the population living on the land they decided to claim. Shame on all supporters.

The home breweries I have seen, does not see very hygienic neither those who making it. 

 

Be aware there is 750 different strains with different strenghts and affect on you. Some is better for pain, other gives you the highes, do your homework before you experiment to much.

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.

Wifey just popped down the road to nearly a shop on the street to get me some 'pre-made' potion....

Quite an interesting visit for her, some very helpful locals in the shop coming out of the woodwork to give her advice.

 

So, I have this green, disgusting looking, bitter tasting mixture.... 

 

I've had a 5 small 50ml glasses over about an hour and the 'woosy head' feeling kicked in...

... its a little bit like being drunk without the taste pleasures of a fine single Malt, rather the opposite in fact.

 

.... The Pain killing side definitely works - and I'm really glad I have paid attention the comments of those on this forum and this thread, I can relax a little more without having to hit the Tramadol up to the permitted limits (which didn't seem to do a lot).

 

BUT....  I also had a 'spinney feeling'...  like a loss of balance, head spinning slightly, which when mild is not discomforting, but it has lead to wooziness  and made me feel a little nauseous...    I just chunderred !!!  - Wife concerned, Mother in Law (who is also staying) somewhat entertained at her 'Western Son in Law going in for the local potion'....     turns out, MiL is a dark horse, much to my Wife's surprise, Both MiL and FiL have been making 'tea' out of the leaves.....  Good on em !!...  

 

Wife is very cautious about me taking this course of medication which is not 'prescribed by a major International hospital'...   

.... but the pain-killing aspect makes this work perusing....    I just have to be careful going to the loo when I'm partially immobilised (injury)... 

 

I just have to work out the 'ideal dose' to hit that pain killing sweet-spot. 

 

Wife was told this stuff is going to keep me awake....  (its good for work etc)... But to be honest, I could take a nap right now !!!... 

 

 

Anyway - thanks all for the info and advice. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

Two months ago I bought frozen dim sims(an aussie favourite) at 800 baht( around$34) for 30, they sold out in just a couple of days, yesterday I got an email from the importer saying they had another shipment coming in shortly and we can pre order to make sure we get what we want so I went in to do so.

Problem is they have upped the price almost 60% in the last 2 months with the same bags now costing 1250 baht(around $54), they have not had a price rise in Australia, in Australia they currently cost $9.50 from their supplier(Coles, a couple of dollars more from other sellers) so even paying $34 last time was high but to raise the current price to just over $54 for them is a real stretch.

 

I realize that for someone to import frozen food from Australia it does require them to raise prices but to raise them so much in just 2 months is very suspect especially knowing that aussie expats will try to get their favourite food and pay a bit more for it to do so.  I have been using this business for around 12 months and liked what they did but after this I will no longer support them, I understand the required profit margins needed to import but to push them up this much in 2 months is way over the top 

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

Yes, but the 152 is not aerobatics rated.  Hammerheads might not be such a good idea.

 

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.

You are absolutely correct.

I learned to fly in 1973.

We also did aerobatics in a Bellanca with a stick for controls.

HammerHead Stalls are simply the Best...

 

 

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
