The opinions of the person you are replying to predate Copernicus. I sometimes wonder whether we are going backwards, when someone who lived nearly 500 years before is obviously smarter than most of us.

My measure of breakfast at any hotel is how well they can cook scrambled eggs. The two best in Thailand were in Mae Hong Son and Udon Thani.

It's always hard to say how many Russians are being killed. The Kremlin will downplay the losses, the Ukrainians will exaggerate them. The Ukrainians are fighting a modern war, combined arms and the accent on mobility. The Russians are still fighting with poorly-motivated conscripts and a top-heavy command structure, World War I and II style. Human wave stuff. The battle of Stalingrad resulted in 1.1 million Russian casualties, over a period of 6 months and 2 weeks. Given Russia's fighting methods do not seem to have changed appreciably, IMO a figure of 16 K is quite credible.

If it's not there, it doesn't apply. The ETA is for VISA-FREE travelers. If you have a retirement visa/extension, you are not visa-free, are you?

IMO he is a frustrated Hollywood script writer, rejected by every producer.

After a while, when I was working, all the high-end hotels got to be the same. Expensive, and not really worth it. I can remember my first trip to America, when I was still wet behind the ears. I landed in Dallas, asked the taxi driver to take me to the Hilton. He responded "Which one?" I said "What do you mean, which one?" He replied "There's four of them in Dallas." With the talk about tuck-ins and housekeeping, maybe the OP is hoping for a freebie with a hotel maid.

There's also the digital trading cards, all of which seem to be selling under face value. I suppose anyone whose taste is in their @rse would like them in their domicile, to show off to other idiots.

When you posted yin and yang - a bit more for link. I thought you meant my second link would not open, which is why I posted the link again in its complete form. When I tried to open your link according to the above post, it would not. Do you often jump to conclusions, and make unwarranted attacks on people?

A man of minimal aspirations.

If I had only rented women, I'd be a multi-millionaire.

Understood. Your single data point on the entire planet proves global warming and climate change are imaginary. #10 for my stupid post competition.

I must have saved it just for you. Stupid posts deserve a bucket of cold water.

I didn't see any house cleaning during his presidency. He was too busy playing golf.

The Larsen Ice shelf's most dramatic collapse happened in 2002. The Brunt Ice shelf breakup is happening now. That's in Antarctica. In the Arctic, Greenland has been shedding 270 billion metric tons per year since 2002. These are not predictions, they are fact. https://science.nasa.gov/resource/video-greenland-ice-mass-loss-2002-2023/

Thank you. #9 in my stupid post competition.

It's immaterial to your generation and mine, because we will be gone. By 2050, the flow of water from the Tibetan Plateau to the Mekong, Ganges and Brahmaputra will be halved. That's assuming the Chinese don't build any more dams in Tibet. They have more than one thousand dams there already. 1 billion people in Asia depend on that water for growing food. It will make current economic migrations look petty in comparison. In human history, how many wars do you think have been fought over water?

Why don't you just come out and say it - you are a white supremacist. Stop tip-toeing around.

So buying an EV and putting solar on your house were purely financial decisions.

Why do you think I chose to live in Chiang Rai? Climate was definitely a factor. I would not live in Bangkok without aircon 24/7. Check out Mt. Bartle Frere in Queensland. It's an extreme example of orographic rainfall, 160 inches a year.

My opinion is based on fact. Central Australia has temperatures exceeding 40 C 100-150 days of the year, Chiang Rai has 2-3 days. Chiang Rai has mild winds. It's very rare to get anything above 20 km/hr. OTOH, Melbourne is on the 40 degree latitude. In winter, we get a forecast for 12 C. It's actually 3 C after windchill. In summer, days of hot northerly winds which are sticky and very uncomfortable. Winds are 50 - 60 km/hr. In storms, they exceed 100 km/hr. While your post may be generally correct as to latitude, it fails to take into account the effect of topography. Chiang Rai is at the foothills of the Himalayas. Mountains and coasts modify weather.

Agree. China, Russia, Japan, Germany and Italy all have declining populations.

IMO the north of Thailand is one of the sweet spots for avoiding the worst effects of global warming and climate change. OTOH, places such as outback Australia, the Philippines and Florida/ California had better look out, because it is only going to get worse.

Post all about it in salacious detail on Asean. It won't help the problem, but you'll feel better because confession is good for the soul. Alternatively, see a doctor. Priapism is a recognised medical condition. Do not think because I am posting serious advice I am taking your post seriously, Bob.

Let me guess - you believe everything you read on Truth Social and Breitbart, You bought DJT shares for a secure retirement. You own $ 499 gold sneakers and a $99 bible.
