  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Please tell me you didn't actually use dinosaurs as a noisy neighbor remedy. Seems overly brutal to me.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. San Pedro private hospital, huahin, two years ago. About $600 USD. Excellent doctors and state of the art facilities.
  9. 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.
  10. But he won't get it and it wouldn't help. They are all beyond reason and mentally unreachable.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. Soooooo classy! He really has a rich sense of humor and of how to bring people together under his new administration. Surprising behavior you wouldn't expect from our First Felon. Not.
  15. The enemy of my enemy stategy huh? Tried and true approach for those incapable of critical thinking. Is this not the 'follow the herd mentality' so soundly criticized by maga types? Asking for a friend.
  16. All truth/credibility flows from Dear Leader I presume? LOL.
  17. Will microamps drive an LED directly as your circuit implies, 0.44mA?
  18. Of course. Note the batteries. Sure it can be done, but the cheapest, most common, and most reliable are the simple neon light and current limit resistor. This type a has been around for many decades. If the voltage is enough to light neon then it's likely to be enough to hurt you. The electronic led versions can sense lower voltages though. What do the LED sense of the cells are dead? No light means no voltage? I wouldn't trust it. Also, I dislike renewing batteries every time I want to use something. I fail to see the advantage. But... To each his own.
  19. The older I become the less I understand. The world has been upside down for several years now.
  20. Agreed. I don't even glance at postings about Thai people killing and being killed by each other. They don't care and I stopped caring years ago. likewise, foreigners killing or being killed. Same old same old. How can it be 'news' when it happens 50 times a day?
  21. Totally agree. I've complained about this to lazada. It's happened to me four times in the last month. They promise to deliver hoping they can stock it in time to ship to you but when they can't either they or lazada cancel. Stores stock as little as possible taking a gamble with my time and lose nothing when they cancel. Lazada should fine them if they do this repeatedly. And yes the same vendor floods the site with many stores using slightly different names while being clearly the same store. I have to wade thru them to find an actual valid competitor. Personally I think it's all down to slower delivery from China. It's becoming more difficult to find vendors who don't ship from China. For many items one has no choice.
  22. Wild? That's laughable. Anybody with eyes and a functional brain see the man fir who he is. The man shoots from the lip and often hits his own foot. He has no plan except to end elections and be king. Utter chaos he calls a brain.
  23. Instead America chose.... Lol, Vote for me and I'll tear down anything anybody else has created.
  24. Partly true 1MF. The tools might but I can't! 😔😒
  25. Very observant. Double throw switches SPDT do however have a single pole contact. They are not interchangeable like SPST switches. Those are labels of the wires connected to the switch. As in Line and Neutral. You know...those voltage things.
