  1. You claim that I am ignoring the actual question when I say supply and demand, and you then you later say it's driven by supply and demand, that's hilarious. There is nothing but supply and demand driving it. People think it will make them rich, and they believe the supply is limited, an this drives demand. Why is that not clear?
  2. Again, for at least the fifth time: 1. I never said it created value. 2. I never said it was not a zero-sum game. 3. I have understood all of this all along. You crack me up
  3. Yes, it's important that the rich but subsidized by the poor. It's not fair to ask the rich to pay their own way.
  4. Then rather than saying: "You will only get 700, 900 or 1100. 3,4, or 5 200mm bricks plus 4 inch slab on top. I am currently building kitchen and going for 1100." You should have said that the cheapest, fastest possible options are 700, 900 or 1100 because 3,4, or 5 200mm bricks plus 4 inch slab on top. I am currently building kitchen and going for 1100." That would still be untrue, be it would be more clear.
  5. Absolutely, only a fool would buy anything but a we-go.
  6. As I understand it, sentences are not points, they (sometimes) make points. I am starting to understand why you are having so much difficulty following along.
  7. Haters are going to hate, let them, they only hurt themselves.
  8. Yeah, I found Mr. DIY underwhelming too. Thai Watsadu has a whole aisle of that stuff. I had a twenty year old door-lock much like that and I thought I would never find one. Carried it down there and found a virtually identical latch for (I think) under THB200
  9. So it seems pretty easy to me. Assuming you're not short, less than Thai height is going to be low for you, You show your gal the Thai height at HomePro and she will likely love it. You buy whatever cabinets you like and have them installed at the Thai height and everyone is happy. It's a little lo for you, but it's what she's used her whole life and she'll love it. If she cooks in a wok, a wok on top of a hob, on top of at 90cm counter is going to be too high.
  10. False. What you have been saying is: "...everything won in crypto, someone else lost." Saying someone else will/may lose is not the same as saying someone lost. Saying for "...everything won in crypto, someone else lost." is a lie. Saying "...everything won in crypto, someone will lose." could well be true. I am not now nor have I ever said it was not a zero-sum game. Reconfiguring an example is not the same as defining something. How does this website create value? I assume we would agree that it is entertaining, yes? At least for me, but for crypto it would be somewhat less entertaining, so at least in that sense it is creating value. I said ballgame, not betting on ballgames. But does a casino create value? The owners would say yes, the people that work there would say yes, the municipality that taxes it would say yes, many of the gamblers would say yes, many of the families of the gamblers would say no, many of the people that live near the casino would say no. Value is subjective. What is the crypto industry formally lying about to get people to buy it?
  11. I am not joking. If your gal is 150 she is short for a Thai woman, average is (per the BOI) ~157, (men are ~169) so even the standard Thai kitchen products (80cm) may be high for her. Does she like the height you have now? I do not know why you think taking her down to look is silly. She will likely just pick the standard Thai height as that is likely what she grew up with.
  12. Providing examples is the same as explaining something, and explaining something is not the same as defining something. Neither you nor Ikn are able to define "creating value", so I'll drop it. No point in beating a dead horse. Why would I be trying to sell crypto that you bought? That makes no sense. If I sold GM before they went bust, where did that money come from? If I partnered with a coworker and bought $1000 in crypto, I later sold my share to my coworker for $350K, and the coworker later sold out to someone else for $875K, to someone that turned around and sold out for $1.1M, then I profited and no one lost from the profit I made. Someone may/will profit from someone else's loss in the future, but that is not what you are saying. If that is what you mean then say that, don't keep telling the same lie over and over.
  13. Dude might want to show a fuller graph of his chart showing sell-offs an recoveries as well, what's your point?
  14. To that end, there are general standards. Put a tape measure in your pocket, take your gal to HomePro or some-such and look around. Pretend to cook and wash dishes. Spend a LOT of time thinking. Plan it, and then think about it for weeks and then re-plan. No need to get in a hurry.
  15. Thanks, I'm going with a long J. I have 4m x 12m to work with, but I have stairs along 4m of one long side and I want the sink on the 4m outside wall.
  16. If your 'fridge is 90cm you don't have a kitchen, you have a breakroom.
  17. One wall of mine is 80cm X 330cm, and the rice-cooker, griddle, toaster & hobs are on it. One wall is 94cm X 400cm, and the sink and worktop are on it. My wife likes the heights The layout is much more important than the heights. Ideally, (IMO) you want to make a triangle with the sink, refrigerator and the the hob/stove. You want counter on both sides of your hob/stove and on both sides of the sink. IMO the sink is the most important area of the kitchen. Big, deep, double (or triple) and a dish-drain. Hot water is a must as well. The easier it is to clean up, the more likely it is you will eat fresh meals daily. I'm planning to "move" the kitchen from one end of the floor to the other and I'm thinking the layout through now. I will absolutely add an island.
  18. Of course it is. I never said it was creating value, all I did was call you out for claiming "everything won in crypto, someone else lost," which again, is clearly a lie. Admit it's a lie and we're pretty much done. I see people making money on something having value, you say it is not. I ask for a definition of creating value, but you are unable to provide one. You claim it's on me to "prove" something you are not even able to define. Again, what value does a ballgame create? Why is it when people that make money in crypto and then build homes with it not creating value?
  19. All surfaces in the home should about 10cm lower than your junk, just in case.
