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.

I have found it easier to ignore idiots. Saves time.

IMO most Brits now realise leaving the EU was a mistake. Nothing wrong with mistakes, as long as one learns from them. Trump obviously doesn't, he lost the trade war in his first Presidency, and is now repeating history.

Why worry? According to you, viruses don't exist.

Joining the EU with Canada actually makes economic sense. They could have a tariff-free zone, while Trump sends the USA into economic purgatory.

The Vios Mk 2 was in production from 2007 to 2013. One can usually download an owner's manual from the internet. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1795236/Toyota-Vios.html The wiring to the seat belt buckle is most likely the seat belt warning. IMO fitting a seat belt without a tensioner defeats the purpose of a seat belt. Airbags present usually have an SRS label. If there is not one on the driver's side, it's unlikely they are anywhere else.

I am damn sure Greenlanders don't want America's screwed-up health and taxation system, and they don't want the inevitable carpetbaggers coming in to pillage their resources. I am also reasonably sure they don't want a 78 yo grifter issuing a flurry of executive orders which tell them how to think.

Not easy for me to trust something I can't see, hear or feel.

You should avoid tea, shrimp and crab. Also grapes, raisins and potatoes. You don't swallow toothpaste, but you probably enjoyed a pad thai goong recently. Fruitcake. Oh sorry, I forgot they have raisins.

IME any time you let the accountants and lawyers in, quality suffers.

I can't recall ever having posted an accusation of that nature on anyone. Perhaps it has not occurred to you your nom-de-plume is a dead giveaway.

What makes you think you are trusted now?

He's working for Putin.
