Made my evening, thanks.

I have munchies with my Sangsom and Coke Zero too. However, they are the right munchies for weight loss. Bamboo and chili. Avocado with lemon or vinegar. Almonds and macadamias. Believe it or not, cheese.

There is no filter which can remove fluoride, it is a very small ion and one of the most soluble around. Only ion exchange can extract it. Showering/washing dishes will be fine, provided you knock over the coliforms first with sterilization. Coliforms are an indicator of bacterial contamination, used to infer there may be pathogenic bacteria or viruses present.

Reading the report again, I have noticed there is no analysis of trivalent and hexavalent chromium content. Hexavalent chromium is a known human carcinogen. No analysis of boron content either, not significant for humans, but most plants don't like it.

Perth is one of the warmer climates, admittedly. I used to work in Port Hedland, warmer still. The McGovern government had the smarts to reserve some gas production for domestic use, despite the howls of rage from the federal government. Now the premiers of every state on the eastern seaboard wish they had done the same.

I don't consider looking inside someone else's property for the purpose of identification and contacting the owner to be bad thinking. As for the RTP, how do you know they will do their job? They are not renowned for being incorruptible.

The arsenic figure is high, as is the fluoride. One cannot filter fluoride out, it would need an ion exchange column to do so. I would not cook with it or drink it. Showering in it or washing dishes would be risky unless first sterilized. The calcium hardness means one can expect a fair amount of scaling in pipes.

Gold shops usually display three prices: buy and sell for Thai bullion, price for one baht of gold. The third price is the buyback price for jewellery, which is usually 1000-1500 baht under the bullion buyback price.

Why?

I do find the electricity and food costs a bit difficult to believe, unless you have 4 layers of clothing and are eating cup noodles most of the time. A pub meal with any meat is going to be $10-$15 alone, steak and lamb are as dear as poison. All I read about of Australia is skyrocketing costs of everything - electricity, petrol, rents, food. My son's house insurance premium went from $2400 to $3600 this year. What town or region of Australia, if you don't mind me asking?

Not me, already have gold and silver.

Google Translate on my laptop works for me. Free. Thai script I can show to my GF, and voiceover.

Good thinking.

Not far off it, actually. We had to use slide rules for calculations.

I've found HomePro usually has tradies lined up for installation work on almost any home fixture.

It's what one has with the whisky - peanuts, pizza, potato chips. Have it with non-diet Coke, the Coke is packed with sugar. Pepsi is even worse.

Anything that's been distilled, sugar is not distillable.

My guaranteed rate on WISE as I write is 24.21. Don't go into a career in statistical quality control, IMO you'd be terrible at it. Reacting to single data points.

I suggest trying kratom instead. AFAIK legal in Thailand. If the OP is trying to lose weight, spirits are the way to go, as another poster has said. Beer simply has too many carbs for weight loss to be effectual. I drink Sangsom and diet Coke.

East of the Ping is recognizable to anyone who knows Chiang Mai; however, you do have a point. I would suggest anywhere with ground floor massage, clean linen and curtains would be suitable. IMO Thai women aren't going to be propositioning farang women to have extras, chuk wow is for men.

Looks about 3 star to me. All I ask of a room for one night is clean, big bed, and functional aircon and plumbing. My vote for best value hotel goes to one in Mae Hong Son, 550 baht/night. Room was huge, about 60 sqm. Breakfast included, they even knew how to make perfect scrambled eggs. Le Meridien in Chiang Rai is 7000 baht/night. Too rich for my blood.

I don't see any point to inflicting unnecessary pain on myself, I have enough from other sources already. IMO having a visible tattoo is an automatic classifier of what socio-economic group I belong in, and I don't care to be pigeon-holed either. Hidden tattoos, what's the point?

No, definitely unsafe. Any bacterial contamination of the food is in suspended animation while frozen. Once thawed, the bacteria get to work producing toxins which cause gastroenteritis. Protein is particularly susceptible. Is it worth risking serious illness for a few hundred baht?

Not sure if parameters or paramour is meant. certainly one should check both.

IMO there is no doubt renewable energy, particularly solar, is effective and affordable. It's free, whereas fossil fuels have to be mined or extracted, then processed. Nuclear energy is effective; however, it requires enormous safeguards. As far as being necessary, that ship has already sailed. Ask any insurance company, they are ratcheting up their premiums as fast as they dare. The first law of thermodynamics says storms are only going to get bigger, more intense, and more destructive with global warming. Think of hurricanes packing 400 km/hr winds hitting Miami. The technologies are there, the science is there, it only requires funding to implement them. Humanity's biggest obstacle is venal politicians and the fossil fuel industry that sustains them. Trump appointed an oil industry executive as his Secretary for the Environment. Closer to home, the former Liberal government in Australia had 90% of the staffers in the Prime Minister's Department with links to the fossil fuel industries. If anyone believes that's a path to renewables, I have a bridge in Sydney Harbor I'd like to sell them.
