IIRC insanity is defined as doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result. You get what you pay for.

Pedophilia is a crime against defenseless children. What does it matter who calls out such "men"?

I have had multiple breakdowns with Panasonics in the village. OTOH, Mitsubishi's have always been reliable. The Haier in my condo is also reliable, although a bit noisy. I understand inverter-type aircons are quieter.

I always marvel at guys who think it's OK to bang everything in sight, then demand a GF be dedicated to them only. It's a double standard. IMO the OP should just use condoms, and enjoy. She actually sounds like a keeper if she does not ask for much.

I suppose it depends on what the stevia is combined with. It's OK with white coffee, very ordinary with black. Fat is not a concern of mine. Deprive the body of carbohydrates and sugar, it will start burning fat for energy instead.

I am wondering if anyone has tried substituting stevia for sugar. Zero calories, 200 times sweeter than sugar. Stable up to 200 C.

No, because Biden's tariffs were targeted. Trump's are not. Trump applied tariffs to Australia. The USA has a positive trade balance with Australia, which makes the tariffs patently unfair. Is it any wonder Canadians and Australians are saying <deleted> you, America.

It's nice you can predict bond yields that far ahead. Any chance you can post some winning lottery numbers?

I have an air quality monitor. When it gets above 100, I crank up the air purifiers. In Chiang Rai, the period of poor air quality seems to be less because we are getting unseasonal rain.

US Treasury bond rates are soaring. That's because other countries are selling them. Bond rates are an indicator of investor confidence in a country. The Australian 10 year bond rate is 4.4%. The USA is 4.6%. Investors having more confidence in Australia than the USA is not a good sign. It's fairly unprecedented.

The big ticket items - rent, car registration, car insurance, property insurance, car servicing, internet etc. in Australia are all multiples of what they cost in Thailand. It's quite simple - when I am in Australia my income is less than what I have to spend. In Thailand, I am saving money.

When America applies a tariff to Chinese imports, China does not pay said tariff. The customer in the US does. It's a fact that seems to baffle MAGA's.

You are looking at the situation with the wrong lens. Any interaction YOU have with restaurant staff or checkout chicks is one on one. OTOH, restaurant staff and checkout chicks interact with dozens or hundreds of customers day in, day out. Their risk profile is much higher than yours.

Thai politics are none of my business.

Trump lost a trade war with the Chinese in his first term. Why he thinks he can win another, from a weaker position this time around, is outside my sphere of comprehension.

It's nice you can post without the emotive abuse. Well done. Mask-wearing in Asia has evolved in response to air pollution, which has been around a lot longer than COVID. Coronavirus is just icing on the cake. I wear a mask when I consider the situation warrants it. I have not noticed it affects my self-esteem.

Both economies are in trouble. You seem to be discounting the ability of the Chinese to develop their own weapons technologies. Due to their obsession with secrecy, no-one knows whether they are ahead or behind.

Reagan conceived Star Wars to bankrupt the Soviets in a space race. It succeeded, because the command economy of the Soviet Union was sclerotic. If Trump thinks he will do the same with the Chinese, he is in for a big surprise. China's economy is far more dynamic.

Slim, graceful Thai women are the top of my list. Cost of rent one-quarter that of Australia. Traditional Thai massage. Thai caddies. Pad thai goong, pad siew and mussuman curry My scooter It always rains in the afternoon. I can hit off at the crack of dawn, and enjoy my golf in cool conditions. Swimming in the condo pool Internet faster and cheaper than in Australia.

Please explain how a mask does more harm than good.

Saltwater pools still use chlorine, it is generated by electrolysis instead of chemical addition.

Don't forget dragging women into the cave by the hair.

Easy to call someone a spineless coward from behind the anonymity of a keyboard. I would suggest attendance at anger management groups, you seem to have a problem with being contradicted. Get a spell checker, it's another problem you have.

Sane people adapt themselves to the norms of the society they live in. Irrational people think the world should behave as they do.

Moral and moronic are different adjectives. I don't care if you choose not to wear a mask to avoid infection, your choice. However, if you suspect you are infected, and refuse to wear a mask, IMO you are a selfish turd.
