I don't read the Guardian. If it's free, I'll add it to my list. You've already established your intelligence level by paying for news.

Are you still employed? If so, in the private or public sector? If unemployed, disabled or retired, what kind of income support do you have? See where I am going with this?

I used to drink socially up until 2 years ago, then quit. Given two misspellings in your post, it would appear you are the one who is sozzled.

Thank you for your kindness.

AFAIK the US government collects tariffs on imported goods. I have not heard of said government returning the tariffs to buyers of those goods.

Not if they are all losing money hand over fist, and up to their eyeballs in debt. But then, how one manages to go bankrupt on three casinos where people line up to give you money - there's a pattern. Trump's handicap is at variance with his golf swing. He looks like he is digging for clams. Built-in shank. IIRC there's a video somewhere on YouTube. Sociopaths are usually teetotal, it's a control thing. Hitler was teetotal too.

The Scots make whisky. The Irish make whiskey. America makes bourbon. Scotch whisky is made from malted barley. Bourbon is made from corn mash.

The picture is fake, like most of Trump's so-called achievements in golf. Trump is teetotal.

I was tested for IQ at ages 12 and 40. The first was for a scholarship, which I got, and employment, which I also got. I don't know what a SAT score is. I assume it means Student Aptitude Test. I won't post my IQ scores, I don't need the haters posting. Suffice to say they are significantly higher than the Australian average. I can tell you I am in the top 0.1% of the Australian population in terms of math and spelling accuracy. But you probably know that already, when I correct you on spelling.

I have always found Mitsubishi to be very reliable. Non-inverter.

Both my tests were not on a website. I used to have a photographic memory, and could read at 900 wpm. I don't have the first anymore, and have slowed down on the second. I don't know if that's an indicator of deteriorating IQ. At my age, I am not worrying about it.

They are good for farms, due to the ground clearance. Anywhere else, they are penis extensions for insecure males.

A different number would also emerge if an IQ test in Thai was administered to foreigners. IME experience the number of Thais who can speak good English far outweighs the number of foreigners who can speak good Thai. The trend is particularly noticeable in doctors and dentists. Who have to be reasonably smart to begin with anyway, due to their professions.

Polio is still endemic in Afghanistan. The country has one of the highest infant mortality rates in the world. Ignorant mullahs are mainly responsible for vaccine resistance. The only notable side effect I seem to have from my multiple vaccinations is a low tolerance of fools.

As are the conspiracy theorists and anti-vaxxers. Just wondering how many more measles deaths in children there will be in America, with RFK at the helm.

You have some kind of slacker detector? You should volunteer to work for DOGE.

Given the number of GF's and wives you have had, perhaps they had reason.

I consider myself smarter than the average Thai in terms of IQ. OTOH, in terms of EQ, they leave me in the dust.

You have an IQ of 80? Well done.

It's a dumb label, used by dumb people in place of facts and logic.

Have you ever been to Australia? We produce world-class wines. Margaret River, Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, Heathcote, Rutherglen, Warby Ranges, Hunter Valley.

Thai wines have several handicaps to contend with. The first AFAIK is they don't have any laboratories which are dedicated solely to wine testing. Australia has two. Second is the winemakers obviously don't know how to fix a stuck ferment. Most Thai wines IME still seem to carry residual unfermented sugars. I don't know if winemaking is a reserved occupation in Thailand. Third is air pollution, smoke taint ruins good wine, and there's not too many places in Thailand where grapes are free of it. It does have me wondering how California wines will fare, after the Hollywood Hills fires.

Most Thais I do business with are honest and hard-working. Did a bar girl stitch you up, that you are posting such a bitter libel?

Translation: " I didn't really mean it, but I'll double down on my stupidity".

I agree most wines are difficult to differentiate. Very rarely, there is one that stands out from the crowd. OTOH, bad wines can be really foul. Two reds stick out in my memory. One was a Heathcote shiraz which retailed at $400 a bottle. It arrived at the wine lab where I worked. Only 5 mL was used in testing, staff were allowed to take the rest of any bottle home. The second was a Booth's Premium Shiraz. It only sold from the cellar door, $15 a bottle. Impossible to leave any after the bottle was opened, it had a hypnotic quality. Booth's was a family business, the patriarch was Cliffy Booth. The secret to making that wine died with him, it was never the same after he passed.
