  1. They're a favorite for cargo and don't have to meet the same certification requirements as for passenger service.
  2. I'm struggling to understand why the minimum draft age in Ukraine is 25.
  3. Your card numbers are never revealed to the merchant. They only see a google transaction number. Same with Apple Pay.
  4. You're starting to make me miss home. I can't wait to get a double helping of New Orleans red beans and rice with a link or two of grilled andouille.
  5. I'd stay out of the whole mess. My inclination is to side with the rebels, but no doubt they'll just turn out to be another crew of thieves.
  6. Made with a fine Vermont cheddar.
  7. That was my initial thought. I don't think I've ever stayed in the Kingdom for more than 180 days in one year unless perhaps one year we returned early. I never stopped to consider what it would all add up to. Now I will. My concern is with my wife. She's a dual citizen. She enters and exits with her Thai passport but spends with our credit card and makes ATM withdrawals. In the last several years she's been here for more than 180 days per year. I'm sure the same applies to her, but they probably won't be looking at how long she's been here. I wonder if or how they might monitor her "remittance".
  8. Don't use an angle grinder to cut wood. The best you can hope for is a crude cut.
  9. This is timely for me. I need to do the same in a few weeks. I have a one year ME visa. My 90 day stamp expires April 10th. I need a 60 day extension since we have no plans for a border run and I'll be going home in late May anyway. We've done this before, but always seem to go unprepared. Best I can remember is that I need the completed TM 7 form, my passport and E visa hardcopy (with copies), a couple of passport photos and the 1900 Baht fee. Seems like it can be done at any time before it expires. I'd rather do it before the end of the month to avoid any of the potential Songkran crush. Any other tips?
  10. That’s garbage. I’ve been to every airport on the list except Doha. None stand out. Most are unpleasant. Seoul/Incheon and Vienna are better than any of them. BKK is okay, but the air conditioning is inadequate.
  11. He’ll just blame it on MAGA Republicans. I began to think Ukraine could win after routing the Russians near Kyiv. Now I’m convinced that materiel alone without manpower will never bring about a win. Nobody even knows what winning looks like. Nobody is ready to send troops beyond the covert forces that have been there all along.
  12. Go Toyota. 2012 Pajero was so so. 2016 Hilux was flawless. Replaced after 200k km with 2022 Fortuner. Fortuner flawless too. Our Toyota dealer has the best service department I’ve ever experienced. Both vehicles have only required scheduled maintenance. Both Toyotas have 2.8 liter diesels. Pajero was a gasoline V6. Mitsubishi service was substandard.
  13. That’s the stuff. I’ve seen it referred to as 2 4 D also. It should tell you how big an area that can treat. Don’t over do it or it may kill more than you want. These chemicals are all toxic to some degree. Try to avoid breathing in any dust and keep it away from skin.
  14. At home in the US I’ve used broadleaf weed killers in spray and mixed with fertilizers as weed and feed. The active ingredient is 2.4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. It prevents weeds like clover and dandelions from growing without killing the grasses. Spraying roundup (glyphosate) on weeds in and amongst flowers works fine. Don’t spray so much that it runs off and leaves puddles. Wet the leaves or blades of unwanted grasses in mid day sun. It will evaporate leaving a residue that impedes cell growth and they die. Nearby tulips and daffodils are fine after this. Could be different here.
  15. Sun Tzu said it best - all warfare is based on deception
