PM me and I'll send it. Run it one time to stop updates, again to activate them. Be ready for a few hours of deciding which ones to download as you will be inundated.

That is the common wisdom. I decline to participate but I keep regular and redundant backups. So far I've avoided trouble. Up to you.

Depends on perspective I guess. I found a small exe on the web that mods the registry to think the next update is in 20 years. Been happy without fear of turning my machine into a brick or consrant nagging for over three years. I'm good to go. Next update I do to win10 is linux!

Best alternative please. Serious request.

When you sit? Heavy people generally do nothing else but sit. Cause and effect with positive feedback loop. Eventually they end up with their belly and their butt down around their ankles.

Oh please. That old chestnut again? Have you no shame or even personal pride? Move on and at least find or create a new conspiracy theory to obsess over. With you in charge the frogs don't stand a chance.

OP While I understand that this doesn't directly answer your question or reply to your dilemma here is what I was able to do in a few seconds. I took a screenshot of the text from your post then went to Google Translate and pulled it up from the camera icon and translated it and then took a screenshot of the translated version. It may not be perfect but it helps a bit. Maybe this will be able to help you in the future.

It's sad that the upside down version of the phrase is now held as legitimate use. I guess all laguages evolve but this seems an affront to simple logic.. So be it, but I will still say 'couldn't care less' because I just feel stupid using the new version.

I was all over VN for three weeks. The Vietnamese friend I traveled with kept telling me to just start walking slowly in a straight line and let them flow around you. Seemed crazy to me but it worked, that is I'm still alive and walking. There's absolutely no way in heaven or hell I would try that here. I'd be a flattened corpse in seconds with my wallet and phone gone.

Agreed on every point. Other than news of visa process changes and the new tax topics nothing much is germane to me. I let 10 or so editions accumulate and then burn thru them in a few minutes in case there is actually some useful content. Of course all the details of Thai people and tourists killing/maiming/cheating each other in various ways is hardly news. More and more AN sounds like a large city's daily police report. Repeat and ongoing perennial topics are a waste of time . The political bile is splattered on virtually every topic eventually. Mostly seems to be terminally bored or intrinsically antagonistic people wasting each other's time. Often now I ask myself why I bother any more. Since this is the only social media I have ever indulged in or ever will, I'm thinking it's time to cut the cord completely and spend that time on more productive pursuits, such as scratching my a$$. When I came here years ago ThaiVISA forum was helpful, informative, and entertaining. This new incarnation we have now, not so much. Lately AN seems to be trying extra hard to justify its own existence. If this post (I accidentally typed 'pist' and now that seems more appropriate) gets me banned then so be it. In any event it's honest feedback from a long-time reader.

If you don't care why did you bother to reply? Sorry. I'm not buying it. Now.......will you bother to reply to me thereby again proving how little you care? Do you understand your conundrum now?

The fact that you replied this way belies your response. It's pretty clear you felt the need to respond so in fact you DO care. Well done.

The only way to deal with Thai nationals is to front run the conversation by knowing all the silly ways things that can go wrong and addressing them first. I've learned the hard way to do this before unleashing workmen or tradesman on any of my home projects.

If "A Web of Accusations and Controversy" is a spider web for Biden it's a mile long and wide drag net for trump. For starters Biden has not twice faced impeachment proceedings and is not a convicted Felon who has spent the last several years in a courtroom defending his actions. There is no limit to republican hypocrisy.

Yes. Sorry. I grew up near the usa border with Mexico that that popped into my brain. Getting old sucks. I will add that they have a wonderful European expat acting as a liason for English speakers. Not sure if he's a doctor but knows their capabilities very well. He told me most procedures there are significantly cheaper than Bangkok Hospital down the road a bit. My inquiries on various procedures to both hospitals proved him correct. I've been in my share of cardiac operating suites in hospitals all over the USA and find San Paulo to be on par with the best at least the OR they used for my procedure.

Please tell me you didn't actually use dinosaurs as a noisy neighbor remedy. Seems overly brutal to me.

People with mental health issues can be triggered by many things. Cannabis doesn't cure mental illness. But hey, if confirmation bias is your thing, go for it. This is also a common psychological deficit.

If the dog killed the monk copious amounts of blood would be present. Biting off body parts after fact would be nearly bloodless. No? NB: Sad that all the dog haters here jumped on this so quickly with conjecture stated as obvious fact.

Or use free FTP. WeTransfer.com offers free with 2gb limit. Sender uploads,receiver alerted my email with download link. 7 days later files are deleted and link dead. Very simple. But DropBox and their ilk work too if you don't mind leaving files in the cloud.

San Pedro private hospital, huahin, two years ago. About $600 USD. Excellent doctors and state of the art facilities.

I ran into this only a month ago, but Bangkok Bank payment had disappeared. I finally called and reported the issue. It reappeared in one or two days. Yesterday I called about not being able to use my Wallet to pay for orders when using my laptop. Yes, I understand wallet refunds only can be used. Supposedly they send a SMS with a code. Never got the message. Agent suggested I try to pay using the phone app. I did while she was still on phone and it worked instantly. Note that the phone number is on my account for delivery notifications but IS NOT the same as the phone number for my main account. Also note that the wallet feature previously on my laptop worked fine, without any SMS nonsense. So, bottom line I place the order on my laptop and then pay it on my phone. Ludicrous solution. Really the lazada phone app is a dumpster fire and the desktop is not much better. On a final note I told her I had was tired of vendors delaying actually giving the order out for delivery. They postpone it for two weeks and then cancel or lazada cancels because they don't deliver in their stated timeline. I ask that they should be penalized or blacklisted for such repeated behavior. She was aware of it and said they had a Seller Team who tracks and does penalize them. Truth? Not sure. I added that as a buyer I can be sanctioned for too many cancellations. Thus happened to me a year ago because ONE vendor got angry at a cancellation I made for delayed delivery. Lazada barred me from paying with bank transfer. I called them and when they checked my record and saw the literary hundreds of orders I had placed over the years they thanked me for my loyalty and INSTANTLY freed my account. So it's a crap shoot with these folks but what can ya do? Shopee? Yeah but they don't fill the whole bucket either. Both have customer-facing problems IMO.

But he won't get it and it wouldn't help. They are all beyond reason and mentally unreachable.

Corrupt AND useless cops. That's what's worse, and Thailand has those in abundance. If you haven't yet encountered them then count yourself lucky.

I'm sure glad it does. I don't want them anywhere near where I live. Same for phuket. I saw Pattaya once in the afternoon, didn't want to see it at night. Drove on.

Everything you said. If the op wants a LTR who stays at home it's up to him to provide her a stipend/allowance. You can't expect something for nothing. She will clean, cook, take care of the house and your other needs. If someone spends the minutes of their alloted span helping you then you MUST help them; it's really that simple in my book. Looking for a long term mate in a place that is known globally for its fast women is a losing proposition.
