  1. Hard for me to listen to jr voice. 70 is to old. We need an 64 age limit for first day in office. No 2nd term if over 64. He is a nut case.
  2. I was with you until you confusingly brought Biden into comparison in this Thai mess somehow.
  3. Wife says that mushroom is a very prized type. We forage here in USA. In fact after 45 days no rain we are starting to get some. Mushroom season begins in earnest in late Aug after some big rains. Her brother in law finds them every year. Same SECRET place on moms land.
  4. Messing around with solar is a benefit of living in Thailand. Here in USA metering buyback rates so low, component prices much higher. Solar companies want to profit so much. Fir kicks a couple months ago I went ahead and had a door to door solar salesman cook up a system for me. He did see my monthly power usage but not day night use. A different guy came by a few days later saying it was 45k USD for 9 kw system. This did include a new roof. I haven't got a quote on a new roof but I guess it could be 12-15k$. It was a micro inverter system using USA made panels. The deal was I pay 115$/no and after 20 years the system was mine. I guess he could tell by my questions he didn't have an eager buyer and never did his follow up call. I wasn't real impressed by the software that took Google roof image and put 2 panels behind a chimney. He said the final version wouldn't make that mistake. I see lots of panels put on east and west facing roofs. Just do to the roof layout. Plus the optimum angle here is 33.9. facing South. actually adjusting the angle from 19-50 degrees is max efficient. Don't quote those angles. Here they hardly ever use angle brackets. They just go with roof slope which varies from 4-8/12 roof pitch. I guess due to wind and snow and ease of install and maximum watts. I see lots of installs where neighbors tree shades it much of the day. These solar companies are crooks as far as I'm concerned. Power bill in July was 14,000 baht. Increase of 3 k over June ? The highest ever. It was hot and maybe using air con to much, or Tennant has a grow, or the new hot tub but heater is off for summer. If I do solar I would want to cut out the salesman commissions and high profit somehow.
  5. Yes harvesting all is like taking an apple from the tree it doesn't harm the mycelium. This is how monks and many this think. No way will they stand up for the politicians stealing power.
  6. Stopped at a light behind a Tesla cyber truck today. What a boring set of tail lights come stock. And just fugly looking. I will stick with gas for another decade
  7. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russias-lipetsk-region-comes-under-massive-drone-attack-governor-says-2024-08-09/
  8. Ukraine, powered by Western arms, stuns Russia in cross-border assault https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/08/08/ukraine-kursk-russia-occupied-war/
  9. Temu does have super low prices. I looked after the super bowl ad but never bought anything. Prices so low shipped I thought it can't be real . Some might be crap but it shows you how much profit American companies have been making for their made in China products these last 25 years.
  10. Airfield at Lipetsk, Russia near the incursion has had massive and successful UAV strike. Many fires. Lots of secondary explosions of several sizes. Fires blazing over a wide expanse. Video is posted on several early morning telegram chats. Here is a post for you non telegram folks. https://eadaily.com/en/news/2024/08/09/lipetsk-was-subjected-to-a-massive-drone-attack
  11. One thought is to keep pouring pride and joy up so that he keeps sending his best air defenses there to get deconstructed. Just lost a rare new S500. It would be a big PR lose for pootin. The train line is now in use and it's hard to knock it out for long periods. But supposedly there is a real shortage of locomotive engines due to sanctions. Slava Ukraine.
  12. Telegram is where we get uncensored info on the war. It is a bold move. Several countries including the US have said Ukraine is a sovereign country and it's their right to attack the aggressors in their country. Strikers and I hope to soon see a Javelin tank kill on Russian soil.
  13. Forget about F35's. Ever!!! “We, as a sovereign nation, have our own way of developing our politics and theocracy. . Is what he meant.
  14. Great news. Ukraine controls the gas distribution center and are going for the NPP. Then they can shut off the power to a large part of industry. Russia has to pull troops from somewhere. F16 are at the ready. The Crimea bridge will be falling in August.
  15. Covod is still a thing. Wife and I had it July , it knocked her down for 7 days. Me about 5.
  16. All this wasted time talking about race. So is she 25% black, 50% Indian, 25% Irish? Most of us would be surprised by a ancestry DNA test. All this talk is to distract the trumpeters from the real issues that matter to them. So many still claim their finances were better under trump. Only way is if they sold trump souvenirs.
  17. What will be the consequences for 4 year overstay?
  18. I watched it in full. Trump lost big time to anyone except the ones with the trump contagion. I admit the first question could have been asked after a hello and welcome. And maybe phrased a bit less pointed. It's about time Trump is asked point blank about things and held accountable to his craziness and lies.
  19. Nope I speak the truth. First hand knowledge as shared by at least 3 people.
  20. Yes HSV 1 and or 2 can be on genitals and flare up 1 times or often with different people. I absolutely think it's serious but I've heard several people say it's no big deal and that they don't even tell new sex partners.
  21. Sad to read comments on this black journalist YouTubers and see all the trumpets claiming victory and how trump showed them, sickening really.
  22. Full NABJ video here Trump is the devil? Some of you people need to Stop being the devil's helpers
  23. There is HSV 1&2. 1 had traditional been called cold sores in the mouth area. Most tests don't differentiate 1&2. There is a test available here in the US that tells you 1&2. All the oral sex and now the preferred locations of these aliments isn't so fixed. Some people shrug off having and sharing HSV 1 and even 2. Most people get HSV1 before puberty from non sexual contact. Grandma kisses, sharing drinks with friends, etc. For some women an outbreak can be excruciatingly painful. All STD's and ,HSV were a big concern when I became single a decade ago. I spent some dough getting tested and paying for women to get tested. Lots of clean non promiscuous women in Thailand.
  24. I think the abortion limits have been 2nd trimester and there is no talk of changing that as I am aware! Do you have facts otherwise? It's so sad that all these Christians or evangelicals don't want abortion but they also want to stop head start and preschool and other support for born children. I don't see them giving up money to support the born they so badly want.
