The OP is talking about the owners of the bolt cutters, there is nothing to suggest he is renting. A rottweiler, german shepherd or doberman is usually a good deterrent for burglars.

First I've heard of a Swift having insufficient ground clearance, is she driving in rice fields? Not a good idea to raise the suspension, what happened to this Suzuki at 50 km/hr might be a new experience for your wife.

Ukraine war: Biden says US will not be intimidated by reckless Putin
Lacessit replied to webfact's topic in World News
It's quite clear the intelligence that is being provided to the Ukrainians by the USA has been invaluable in enabling the Ukrainians to strike at command centres, supply depots, and critical supply lines. How else can the record number of deaths of high-level Russian commanders be explained? Putin is doubling down on his gamble with threats and a mobilization, resulting in Russian men of military service age fleeing the country. He does not realize it's like watching a hold'em poker player with a flush betting into someone who already has quads. The USA and Ukraine hold all the top cards of morale and equipment, Putin has a demoralized army of conscripts who don't want to be there. General Winter is coming, IMO it will not be helping Russia this time. -

He's restored the belief among other world leaders America is being led by someone who is competent. With Trump, no other democracy had any trust in what he said.- 84 replies

Abandoned, Derelict, Decaying Locations Around Thailand
Lacessit replied to diznax's topic in Photography and the Arts
Hands over the eyes symbolizes a blocking out of the outside world during intense Sammabart meditation. This is jhana level meditation which can also cross-over into Abhinna. -
I'm not teetotal, I enjoy a glass of red wine or a couple of Sangsom's once or twice a week. Or a cookie with some THC. I'd say I am quite healthy for my age. Having any substance control me would be anathema.

I gave up smoking in 1983. Before Jack Nightingale dies at age 70, he will most likely have a year or two of emphysema or lung cancer. If he's lucky, he'll go out quickly with a heart attack or stroke. I agree one should enjoy oneself as they go along. It's possible to do that if one keeps in shape, even at an advanced age. Having enough money helps as well. I see quite a few foreigners here following the Nightingale philosophy, drinking and smoking themselves to death. IMO it's pitiful their lives are so empty alcohol and nicotine are employed to fill them.

I wasted my life with a couple of women in Australia I should have waved goodbye to after a couple of weeks. I don't consider I wasted my life otherwise, I achieved a lot in sport and my chosen profession. IMO I wasted part of my life out of a sense of duty and responsibility, the only ethic I have now is avoiding hurting anyone.

Electric water heater for shower. Copper or Plastic?
Lacessit replied to srowndedbyh2o's topic in DIY Forum
IMO it would be extremely rare for well water to be so acidic it would corrode copper. Any steel in the circuit would be rusting first. Far more likely for scaling to occur. Plastic is not as durable as copper, you get what you pay for. -
Pension schemes in danger of COLLAPSE !

The GBP has lost nearly two baht in exchange rate in the space of a few days, that's no big deal either? -
Foreign Falangs....... Thailand is almost back to normal!!!
Lacessit replied to Iamfalang's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
A tautology, actually. -
If you don't measure it, you can't control it. That goes for chlorine AND pH. A free available chlorine of 0 .2 - 0.5 ppm is ideal, but fairly useless if the pH is above 8. Copper sulphate has no bactericidal properties, being acidic it will help push pH down. Its real purpose is control of algae. Put too much in, and the hair of all the pool users will turn green.

Being lectured by an American on ignorance and understanding is like being flogged with wet lettuce leaves. It's quite amusing, given 50% of you guys still believe angels exist, and some 74 million of you voted for a charlatan. Certainly haggis is an acquired taste, so is road gravel. I am not sure how the schools I attended are germane to the current discussion. As for dementia, someone who wants a change from Thailand to Scotland is obviously well on the way. Res ipsa loquitor. Now excuse me please, I am due on the first tee.

AFAIK phosphate is no longer an issue due to large reserves under development in Australia. Google Lady Annie. It seems potash is now the fertilizer in fashion, replacing nitrogen-type fertilizers dependent on Russian oil and natural gas. What this has to do with a purported move to Scotland..... oh, never mind.

I think it is true of all people if they enjoy what they doing, they will usually do it well. I never was an academic, in hindsight working in a range of industries prior to going into research gave me a broader perspective than Ph.D's, who usually were experts in narrow fields. I could think outside the square in solving problems. Agree, I would be a dinosaur in a laboratory now.

Analytical chemistry, morphing into process chemistry. Steel, metal coatings, paints, waste treatment, corrosion science. I got into research because one of my more intelligent senior managers figured out I was much better at it, than in supervising people. I am only now attempting to teach my Thai quasi-grand-daughter English, at her request. I have never taught any subject previously, although I have published a number of papers in scientific journals, and been invited to speak at conferences. Oddly enough, mining and kangaroos were linked during my sojourn in the mining industry. Phosphorus is an undesirable contaminant of iron ore, we finally figured out the phosphorus in one otherwise very large orebody was present in surface caves, where kangaroos were excreting phosphorus-rich poop.
