  1. It would give a health benefit by stretching the calf muscles. Asanother poster has said, the same effect is achievable using a kerb or step.
  2. Limited flights, most Russian aircraft are leased from the West and are now only flying domestic routes within Russia, to avoid being seized. The flights with non-Russian airlines still open are hardly likely to accept Russian rubles in payment.
  3. I am beyond redemption, I love sausages. Cumberland, Bratwurst, chorizo, boerewors, sai ua - bring them on. I defy any bacteria to live in sai ua, it's like expecting an Eskimo to live on the equator. At age 78, I guess my lifelong addiction to sausages has boosted my immune system.
  4. That was with the bone graft included. However, that was about 7 years ago. Inflation. Swiss bone graft, Swiss implant.
  5. As I can only speak Thai, not read it........... My Vios in Chiang Rai still has Phrae registration after 5 or 6 years anyway. Let me guess, the 500,000 km vehicle was a big diesel? 125 cc on gasoline is a tad different in terms of engine longevity. I suspect Papa Al is extracting the urine.
  6. I wear a mask because it is mandated, and also polite to do so. I have had three COVID vaccinations, and have had COVID as well. The logic of wearing a mask after all that does escape me. Unless I have the above information tattooed on my forehead, or I carry a sign, a mask is part and parcel of living here, illogical as it may be. I can't be bothered taking someone to task who chooses not to wear a mask, life is too short. If they get fined as a result, no sympathy from me.
  7. The bacteria are multiplying on the mask. I get that. What I don't get is the only source of bacteria on the inside of the mask comes from ME. Some credible data on the number of bacterial infections caused by masks would be useful.
  8. Please try to keep up, Thais are already running first or second as the world's worst drivers.
  9. I have had three dental implants in Chiang Mai, 55,000 baht each. A good implant takes 3-4 months, anything shorter has a much higher failure rate. Mine are still going strong after about 7 years. The best bone graft material is Swiss, Chinese bone graft material has dubious origins. We get what we pay for.
  10. Mengrai Labs in Chiang Rai highlights results out of range, and also gives the normal range of every parameter. 2100 baht. Your results do not appear to include fasting glucose and HBa1C, or PSA. Presumably you are not concerned about the potential for diabetes and prostate cancer.
  11. An indication of where you are and the price would be helpful. 59,000 km is low mileage? What are you smoking?
  12. I'd suggest contacting Ronald Elliott, the Honorary Consul in Chiang Mai. I am fairly sure he is able to witness documents. His phone number is 09 185 76996, use Google to find his address. I seem to remember he had some directions posted. Oops, sorry. Thought you were in Chiang Mai. You should be able to find a notary public in Pattaya.
  13. A gasoline ICE starts in a few seconds, I think the glow plug on diesels take a bit longer. I ditched Microsoft as an OS after the abortion that was Windows Vista. IIRC, an auto industry executive wrote an opinion piece comparing the performance of Microsoft with that of a car, which highlighted what consumers have been conditioned to accept in computers, and which car buyers would flatly reject. Hang on to that Commodore, it may be worth megabucks some day.
  14. You've reminded me of a joke that was doing the rounds some years ago. Q: What's the difference between a social worker and a rottweiler? A: The rottweiler sometimes gives the child back.
  15. The British have an unparalleled record when it comes to persecuting people that saved their bacon, and rewarding those who were total incompetents. See: Douglas Haig.
  16. Many years ago, I had a conversation with an eminent criminal psychologist. He explained many criminals have been moulded by the abuse they have been subjected to when they were children, by adults who should have been nurturing them. He did say there was a small percentage of criminals for which there was nothing in their upbringing or environment to explain their cruelty, and disregard for all forms of life. He said while it was not a term psychologists favored using, there were individuals who were pure evil. There's one leading Russia as I write this.
  17. In that case, I would say anyone who re-offends AFTER either method has forfeited their right to life.
  18. Never happen, much of the Thai tourist economy depends on randy punters. Not to mention the BiB collecting their weekly kickbacks from the bars and karaokes, if they don't already own them..
  19. I am not sure chemical castration is a permanent solution, there is no data on this thread to say it is. OTOH, there is no room for doubt when the castration is surgical. During my days in college and cadets, it was widely rumored we were all fed potassium bromide to inactivate our urges. If it was, IMO the effects were only short-term.
  20. No. ??????????????????????????????????????
  21. What's the OS? The Linux MX on my laptop and desktop takes 20-30 seconds, can't recall it ever hanging up on me. I forget who coined the term fatware, but most of us know which OS is being referred to. Another Bill Gates quote: "Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning" I'd say Microsoft must be very knowledgeable by now.
  22. Lord Kelvin was born in Ireland, I rest my case. He's not a scientist, but....... "No one will need more than 637Kb of memory for a personal computer." ( Bill Gates )
  23. I am thinking of getting a tattoo. On my forehead. Stating I have been triple vaccinated, and have also done 14 days quarantine in a Thai hospital. I don't need to wear a mask, go away. I hope to find a tattooist that is skilled enough to fit all the text in. Thai and English text.
  24. People have been trying to disprove the laws of thermodynamics ever since they were formulated, let me know when you've invented a perpetual motion machine.
  25. You may be right, it depends on whether the person concerned has a strong mind, and how much they are suffering. Palliative care does not always cut the mustard. I'd like to see voluntary euthanasia legalized in all countries, and I do wish the god-botherers would stick their heads in a latrine.
