"Why do unemployed greasy little Thai men always get the hot girls?" They don't. Young two-week millionaires from Korea do.

I have another related query: can I skip the curing stage if the buds are destined for decarboxylation at high temperature? I mean dry then decarboxylate, instead of dry, cure and only then decarboxylate. The curing stage looks to me like some kind of pre-decarboxylation anyway.

With the expansion of the universe, everything is getting bigger, including women.

What is an "ethnic child"? Do ethnic children grow into ethnic adults? Can you die an ethnic man? Be buried in an ethnic grave?

That's exactly what they do and it's well-known. Paracetamol is frequently added as a deterrent to abuse, for example dextrometorphane + paracetamol, in order to prevent people from tripping on dextrometorphane (a cough suppressant). Knowledgeable users/abusers will first extract the paracetamol through a process called "cold extraction". The war on drugs doesn't give a rat's ass about hundreds of thousand deaths in Mexico, you bet it doesn't either about a few thousand of people dying of liver failure following paracetamol poisoning. Staying clean is more important than staying alive. Note that some tablets, like the delayed release oxycodone, cannot be split nor crushed. If you bang with a hammer on the delayed release oxycodone, the tablets flatten like a chewing gum rather than disintegrate. This is to prevent turning the delayed release tablets into immediate release one that can give you a buzz.

The manufacturer wants to prevent abuse. I bet the acetaminophen/paracetamol is only included as a deterrent to abuse. Acetaminophen is lethal at high doses.

As for me, I don't bang people on the head with my degrees too much. They might wear out.

Kratom was legalized in Thailand as an alternative to methadone. Switching from Tramadol to Kratom might be like jumping out of the frying pan into the fire though.

For once the hotel's response was sensible. I guess here the "condescending" tone was the issue. Condescension though does not harm the planet (or anyone except snowflakes). A new toothbrush every day, on the other hand, is a total waste.

"... resulted in the seizure of 0.88 grams of cocaine." Under zero tolerance, the police can confiscate 999 grams and resell them, while still sending the guy to jail for 1 gram. That's why some countries have zero tolerance in place.

One thing I found that helps is eating less. I found that out when I did my Covid quarantine in Bangkok. I was kept slightly hungry all the time because I could not go out and eat as much as I wanted. One consequence was that I was hardly farting at all.

For a second I thought this topic was about masturbation.

If you look at the movie adaptations of great novels, like Dickens', the good adaptations are the older, black-and-white ones. The more recent ones pale in comparison. They butcher the plot and miss the spirit. The same applies to radio dramatizations. Present-day radio dramatizations feel like they were done by people who didn't bother to read the book, or who were hostile to it.

Not what I was asking but thanks for pointing me to decarboxylators. I didn't know there existed dedicated contraptions to decarboxylate herbs.

If I get it right you must first dry your stuff before decarboxylating. You can't put fresh non-dried buds into the oven at 110°C, otherwise they would kind of stew in their own water. The recommendation is to hang the harvested autoflower bush to dry for weeks on end at room temperature. Why so long? I own a kitchen dehydrator like the ones for drying mushrooms, vegetable and herbs. Couldn't it be just the ticket to dry my buds? For herbs they recommend drying for 4 to 6 hours at 40°C. Would that do the trick for weed?

"Negative income tax". Is that meant to be English? If it is wouldn't it mean you get money back from the tax man?

Especially since snipers, bodyguards, spies, bank robbers etc. are precisely what women ARE NOT in real life. I stopped watching Star Trek when women started to captain spaceships and starfleets.

I take it "regardless of whether they are resident" should be interpreted as "regardless of whether they were resident".

One thing I find reassuring in this whole story: Thailand has made it repeatedly clear one is not a tax resident in TH if one stays less than 180 days in Thailand. Few countries are so black-and-white about tax residency status.

I know what you're talking about. I book window seats too, in order to be able to sleep (at the cost of it being a hassle to go to the john). It is then infuriating to find a stupid gap wherethrough your pillow will slip 2 hours into your night's sleep. Before you book a seat you may want to take a look at seat guru websites. They have seat maps for each particular flight. They may have warnings about "bad seats", without specifying the cause (gaps, seat non reclinable etc.). Of course if the airline switches planes at the last minute it will all have been to no avail. You may find yourself having wasted money on a seat for nothing. Not so long ago I had another mishap with a window seat: cold, coming from the window side. It would've taken a padded jacket and triple pairs of trousers to feel in any way comfortable. If that happens again I'll reconsider booking window seats at all.

Well, maybe I am ADHD too, that's why.

But the Singapore bank can be a pain in the neck. It will want utility bills (not always easy to get in Thailand). It will demand copies of your passport at regular intervals, to be certified at the Singapore embassy in Bangkok.

Well what are you waiting for then? Get a Thai TIN asap! Then feed the Thai TIN to your UK bank. Do you prefer to risk losing your UK bank accounts just for the sake of not wasting 25 minutes at a Thai RD office in order to get a Thai TIN? As has been said before, having a Thai TIN is no game-changer as fare a taxation by Thailand is concerned. You can have a Thai TIN and not stay 180 days in Thailand.

How easy is it to get this kind of kiddie coke prescribed in Thailand?

Tolerance to weed is not that much of a problem since weed is relatively harmless. You can just increase the dosage to keep up with tolerance.
