  1. Your Welcome. System?
  2. Ctr+Alt+Del. Start up Apps TAB . Top of Page has last BIOS time in secs.
  3. This Yaris GR is 261HP. Reviews puts this spec car 0-100km/h at 5.3 seconds. They are available in Bangkok but only downside is the price ie 3.5 M baht.
  4. My new low spec laptop takes 6.1 secs, big difference than my old crappier one with win10. What is your boot time? Task Mgr keeps a record. How many seconds is yours?
  5. Succession has 8.8/10 rating. I might start watching it too, thanks! I hope its not another Dallas ???? Any reviews on it from this audience?
  6. I lived in Issan on a farm and found the Toyota Hilux ideal. Then moved to urban Phuket and though prone to flooding I found the std Corolla Sedan a better option for the better half for parking etc. Then back to a farm but in the wettest southern province and the Corolla with its low clearance was problematic not only for flooding but bad roads. So the moral of the story it that buy a car to best cover all of your most likely location and requirements, if you can find one! The Honda WR-V seems good on paper in a lot of aspects but I find functionality and practicality is more important to me. Pointless having a beautiful ideal car sitting under repair in the garage all day. The Corolla Cross's ground clearance specs seem to change depending on what country you are in, possibly due the availability of different wheel sizes. I could not find a definite height for Thailand.
  7. Yes, past years, it has been opened to full and mixed Thai children. The Thai daughter of my ex Thai partner, lived with us during her formative years where we mainly spoke English. And we regularly watched UK TV including CBeebies , now she is fluent in both English and Thai. A couple of years ago she she was runner up in her province's English competition, to a boy with red hair obviously of mixed parents. But this year, she also won a National English competition but would not be happy with the notoriety, if it was publicised outside of school circles.
  8. Children of mixed families in Thailand with fluency in English and Thai certainly have an advantage in a country where fluency in English is rare.
  9. Windows 11 came on my new Ryzen 5000 Acer Swift X. I am amazed at its functionality, especially the AI. The only issue I have so far past 3 months is that I get the black screen of death with an auto restart about once a week. It only last a few seconds. I think there may be some software compatibility issues which should eventually sort itself out with updates.
  10. I found Toyota in Issan had the best dealer network. Others including Honda not so good. Personally I would look at the slightly larger and more expensive Toyota Corolla Cross than a small hatch as it has a ground clearance comparable with the Honda WR-V. The Yaris even the Yaris Cross, now unavailable, has a limited ground clearance. The Honda WR-V was only launched here last few days so availability might be problematic.
  11. Perhaps defenestration will remedy this conflict between "birds of a feather" Vlad the war criminal and Yev, the ex thief, pimp and convict hotdog vendor.
  12. The SS-Helferin or SS female guards conscripted by the Nazis to assist in the genocide at the Holocaust extermination camps comes to mind.
  13. So its attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)? Sounded so interesting just based on its "wokeness" but the User Reviews mostly 1/10 and 2/10 canned it for me. Different strokes etc. But thanks for your review not solely based on its socio-political values.
  14. Brings back memories of 20 years ago when the ICC eventually caught and convicted Serb and Bosnian war criminals Milošević and Karadžić, who were found guilty of genocide in the Bosnian War. The ICC certainly has teeth but if the Russians never eventually give the ICC jurisdiction in Russia, the culprits will never be brought to justice unless they are apprehended in a signatory country.
  15. His poor kids! Most children want to be proud of their Dad and would want him to be someone that the community aspires to!
  16. I watched 5 minutes of EEAAO. I might have enjoyed All Quiet on the Western Front but I had just watched the original version for a second time. How did it compare to the original if you watched it? I might wait a while before I watch the new one.
  17. Oscars 2023: the full list of winners | Oscars 2023 | The Guardian Has anyone watched any of the winners or other nominations that they could recommend. I was surprised that Everything Everywhere All at Once" won best picture. Personally found it ridiculous. But different strokes etc.
  18. This film originally got under my radar and seemed to have the makings of a good movie, with good actors and ratings. I watched half of it but I found the movie bit too dark and gross to continue. If anybody managed to get to the end perhaps they could tell me if it was worthwhile and if the ending justified the time. Perfect Sense - U.S. Version | IMDb
  19. Anybody watched this yet? Its 9.1/10! Worthwhile Y/N? The Last of Us (TV Series 2023– ) - IMDb
  20. Yet, I divorced mine and had separate bedrooms coz she was a lazy b*tch.
  21. The rate of full pension is by a full asset test then an income test of financial assets. Whatever is the smallest is what you get. Financial assets are deemed. I would suggest if your assets are mainly financial, super, bank etc you may not get full pension with 500k.
  22. "if trump was elected for the second term there would be no war". Yet, last month Trump "told his supporters to start arming themselves for a civil war". "He was also the only president after 2ww, who didn't start a war". Yet in 2020, he led an insurrection and "was asking for a civil war". Donald Trump Was “a President Asking for Civil War” | The New Yorker
  23. Just bought 2022 Swift X SFX14 AMD Ryzen 5000 for AUD 680. Brilliant machine!
  24. This person has offered advice on this forum, titled Australian Aged Pension, in almost 300 posts, Yet he admits that he has no personal experience with the AAP and is now asking the audience who he is offering advice to, basic questions about the AAP! ROFL comes to mind!
  25. "He plans to be a statesman, representing interests of the USA". ROFL! Trump is only self-serving and has only ever represented his own interests! "For example impeachment case against biden will speed up that election and fundamental change of policies by any new president". ROFL! What impeachment?
