  1. It's been a real battle for me to find tinned coffee that does NOT have sugar in it.
  2. Not even a sensible shape, how do you get it out of the shoulders?
  3. I guess that's what happens when you live rent-free in the heads of some people. In your case, there's no furnishings to speak of.
  4. Quite sure. It's the American habit of contracting every word they think possible, like aluminium. It's a shame they can't do it with sodium, but it sounds a bit rude.
  5. Starting to wonder how many Chamberlain clones there are on this thread......
  6. How long do you have to wait to be seen?
  7. Your only focus seems to be attacking other posters ad hominem when their opinions and facts disagree with your own. Not that I can recall any post of yours which contained any facts.
  8. I am posting facts as I encounter them. If you don't like them, I have others. If you don't like the threads I create, who twists your arm to read them?
  9. The fashionistas discard their apparel after one or two outings. I found a pair of Nike trainers that fitted me, in one of the secondhand shops, a few years ago. I still wear them, very comfortable. Almost brand new, apart from a scuff mark. I paid 1800 baht for them. When I looked them up, the new RRP was 8000 baht.
  10. Then there are people who have nothing better to do than snipe from the peanut gallery.
  11. Noah Carl is a sociologist who was dismissed from his post at Cambridge for promoting racist pseudoscience. I'll bet his sample of Republicans was carefully selected from a population that did not include the poorest MAGA's. He has been castigated for "selective use of data and unsound statistical methods" Yes, I can google stuff which exposes your lies. Once again, an example of your dumbf***ery.
  12. Another mistake by Hitler. If he kept the Luftwaffe going after British airfields, instead of switching to bombing cities in retaliation for a token raid on Berlin, history would have been quite different. " Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few".
  13. There are people in my GF's village living on 2000 - 3000 baht/month. Foodstuffs are bartered. The Thai age pension is 600 baht/month at age 60. Make it to 90, 1000 baht/month. It's the reason Thai families are so loyal to each other.
  14. Normandy saved the Russians from getting wiped out by the Germans. Hitler and his generals used enormous amounts of manpower and material to build defenses against the Allies. Hitler made the mistake of fighting a war on two fronts. Take the defense of the French coast out of the equation, different story entirely.
  15. Doesn't it take a special kind of marketer to be that stupid?
  16. I wear clothing suited to the climate, mostly purchased for me in a second-hand shop by my GF. I don't give a damn about fashion. IMO the people who do are as shallow as a mud puddle.
  17. Expect the FBI to become totally ineffective in protecting Americans from organized criminals, as the same people are now in charge. Trump has not forgotten or forgiven the FBI for having the temerity to raid Mar-a-Largo.
  18. Shopping today at 7/11. Buying yoghurt. A placard on the shelf implores me to buy a 4-pack, to save money. 60 baht. Right next to the 4-pack, there are single tubs of yoghurt, regular price 15 baht. But wait, there's more. The single tubs of yoghurt are on special, 27 baht for two. SMH.
  19. Oh , come on. A person with the concentration span of a goldfish can't handle homework.
  20. You may be right, it depends on location. IME traffic lights in CM and CR are usually respected by drivers. They may cross after a pedestrian has walked through. Bangkok? I can't wait to get out of there.
  21. When I waste my time reading findings posted by the anti-vax crew, I invariably find: (a) They are unqualified to comment on the material. (b) It is published in a pseudo-scientific journal I have never heard of. (c) None of it is peer-reviewed by an independent panel. (d) The data is cherry-picked to suit purpose. I feel I have wasted my time again in explaining this to you.
  22. Have any drinks straight out of a can or bottle. Mixed drinks can be lethal, as Laos backpackers found out recently. SIM cards are available at most airports. Taxi services from airports have fixed prices at their airport offices. Transport between Suvarnabhumi and Don Muang is free, aircon bus. Just show ongoing ticket to other destinations. Only take transport that has three or four wheels. Do not rent a scooter. Always ask the price of any taxi, baht bus or tuk-tuk before getting in. Do not eat street food that is not cooked in front of you. Pedestrian crossings should only be trusted when they have traffic lights. Forget the high heels, Thai pavements can be quite uneven. Comfortable sneakers. Do not flash large amounts of cash. Dress conservatively when visiting temples.
  23. It depends on the type of cancer the OP has. Surgery is most successful with solid tumors which have not metastasized. Immunotherapy has an very good survival record against cancers which do respond to it, but it does not work for everyone or every cancer. As another poster has noted, immunotherapy is expensive. A course of targeted inhibitor medication, which cost me $100 in Australia, would have cost $70,000 in America. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy have the most side effects.
  24. Quote: “Hopefully they don’t get some new slick talker to con them into the same old bull**it". I suppose if it's a 78 yo slick talker, it's OK.
