Oh, right... You're talking about Joe and Kamala. -
Welcome To MAGA Monday - What's cha gonna do?
AgMech Cowboy replied to connda's topic in Political Soapbox
Hum... a little off topic, but I watched the "film" and the fella convinced me to wait until the 21 yr old Balblair is available. 555😂😉 Did you bring it from Scotland or buy it here (and where)? I miss Bowmore 18 & 25. I haven't found them in Thailand for over a year and even then it was more than GBP 81-85. I just could justify the cost. 😢 -

Hi bum, AI, really?? I'm just not to the point of trusting AI until I know that it won't show me images of America’s founding fathers depicted as black folk or Ancient Greek warriors as Asian women and men. And Wikipedia is open source... people can put anything they want (if you've got their codes). Personally, I've no idea of the exact transliterated spelling from อีสาน is to British, American (that includes Canada) or Australian English, but have always seen it as Isaan, except on aseannow forum, who prefer that you spell it Isan. 😆🤣 (How about we all just settle on the Northeast?)

My wife dislikes anything to do with Islam, especially those of Persian, Semitic or Indian (Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesian, etc.) descent. Were they speaking French? I couldn't hear their words clearly enough to say. They may have been born in France, but they are not French (as in the Europeans that helped America in the revolution, fought in the trenches of WW1 or the resistance underground of WW2). Note: personally, I have no basic prejudice to the groups of people I listed above. I've lived in Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Egypt, Tunisia, Pakistan, India & Indonesia. I only dislike one of these countries, but always found something (many things) positive about all of them. None the less, these folks prefer to congregate in their own 'groups'. The police left them alone for a good reason. (These French bring money to spend (have you ever heard that a French man (insert Scotsman in place of French) squeaks when he walks (because he's so tight)? Well, these Frenchmen spend a lot money. And good on them.

Does Trump completely lack decency and compassion?
AgMech Cowboy replied to spidermike007's topic in Political Soapbox
He's only using the philosophy used by Rahm Emanuel who said, "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste." (originally used by Winston Churchill) I'll not deny that they were used in a slightly different context, as in; “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.” In this case like getting rid of a terrible Governor in California. No doubt, President Trump is a little more crass with his statement, but the Governor and the California policies need to change. Trump is trying to hammer in the nail of real corrective action. Trust me, I am very sad for the people who lost their homes and the devastation that has without doubt impacted the wild life, pets and people in the disastrous fires. I hope they get more than $750 to help them out. Luckily, the Trump signs will have burned away and the insurance adjustors and disaster relief agencies won't be able to discriminate. -
American Building Standards and Wildfires
AgMech Cowboy replied to Flyguy330's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
You're poorly informed about sheetrock, which makes me question the rest of your diatribe. Yes, the houses a built with a wood framing. I cannot refute that comment, but I've never been around roof shingles made of wood and most of the really rich homes use a brick exterior or even stucco. From patchmaster.com, "Sheetrock, or drywall, is considered noncombustible and has fire-resistant properties, but it can still burn under extreme conditions. Standard drywall can slow the spread of fire for up to one hour, while fire-rated types like Type X and Type C offer even greater resistance." -
Yep, you are right! It should be the Gulf of Texas!!! 😁

You could've warned me guys !
AgMech Cowboy replied to Bens-Journey's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Wow. No way to warn you. I've never experience a "strip paint off (the) walls" pressure. -
As an option, yall might consider Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP). I've a friend who had the procedure at Bangkok Hospital (in Bangkok). He seems pretty happy with it. I've no idea the cost.

Another Wise problem
AgMech Cowboy replied to Furioso's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
The good news is that my transfer arrived this evening, 7 Jan, at 19:01 (aka 7:01 PM). I paid a bunch of bills and now it's almost all gone. 😢 -

Thanks for the advice. I haven't been in the US since 2018 and I have no plans to go there any time soon... -
Another Wise problem

This is the first time, 3 January, that I have encountered "Plaid". I've been using WISE for almost 3 years now with no problems. On Friday afternoon, after receiving my pension in the US, I proceeded to transfer the funds I needed. Everything was normal until I clicked the continue button. At that point WISE informed me that they were no longer connected to my bank, but that could be rectified with a few quick instructions and agreements. Most of that had to do with agreeing to use "Plaid", which I did. In the end I was told that my transfer could take up to 6 days. The time delay was waiting for WISE to received the payment from my bank (JP Morgan Chase). I have continually checked both WISE, CHASE & Kasikorn (my Thai bank). Chase removed the funds from my account last Friday, which I have to assume was paid to Plaid. It's Tuesday evening now, 7 Jan, at 17:30 and there's still no money. If this is going to be the normal time that it takes to get my transfer through WISE, I'm going to have to find a different way. This isn't going to cut it. Is there any other transfer method that you folks have used that is as easy, quick with good transfer cost and better than market exchange rates. I receive my THB
