Illegal migrant labour and sex work challenge Thailand’s tourism
JackGats replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Thailand needs immigration badly, what with Thais increasingly considering any hard work is below them. -
Medical Experts Warn Against LSD ‘Death Stamps’
JackGats replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Scare-mongering. Has someone even ever died of LSD? Having a bad trip that lasts for days is not dying. -
Scientists Are Freaking Out About Ocean Temperatures
JackGats replied to Social Media's topic in World News
There's limited fully ignored data. Your "spoiler alert" shows you conflate aerial and submarine volcanisms, which are two different animals. Aerosols play no part in underwater volcanism and the heat in underwater volcanism is transferred directly to the ocean, which is what the title of the article ("ocean temperatures") is about. Beyond some minor contributions to ocean chemistry, the contribution of seafloor volcanism to the oceans is thermal. Not that climate science would be interested of course, it has better things to do, like chastising "climate deniers". -

Rest assured. The few workers who have suspected such a cause (or other causes besides CO2) have been ignored and defunded. -

Not a word about sea-floor volcanism as a major factor in ocean temperatures! -
British man quits England for Thailand’s tropical tranquility

"Bought a one-way ticket to Thailand"? What other parts in this story are bogus? -
2 Russian women arrested for providing sex services in Phuket

You mean they're outcompeted by beer-bar grannies? -
Government Surveillance of UK Bank Accounts
JackGats replied to Chomper Higgot's topic in UK & Europe Topics and Events
I'd rather the bank spied on my account than closed my "data-protected" account because of uncertainties. I need my account more than I need my transactions to be confidential. -
Reason why cannabis is going to be banned again
JackGats replied to Jayaroi's topic in Thailand Cannabis Forum
Indeed not exactly a legalization. And a joke if what I was told is right (ie CBD, not THC). Sadly too when you get questioned by police for drugs it often matters jack shyt what the law says. Would you test Mexico's, Costa Rica's or Peru's justice system on their "dosis personal" charade? Good luck. Many countries in the EU have long decriminalized "consumption only'. However they have done so in order that police can consume and entrap without themselves breaking the law. If they catch you high you lose your driving license (even if you're not driving) and you escape arrest only if you give them names. Some decriminilization. -
Reason why cannabis is going to be banned again
JackGats replied to Jayaroi's topic in Thailand Cannabis Forum
If only that were true. Some of those countries have backtracked or never really legalized. One example is Belgium, where I think you're allowed to grow cannabis in your garden provided it's the kind hardly containing any THC. I was in Portugal in November and enquired in a place calling itself weed shop. Only CBD legal there. Some legalization indeed! -
That may help against the mosquitos' night shift.

In theory there's usually a sea breeze during the day but the opposite during the night. 4th floor is not high but Pratumnak is high in its own right.
-
I wonder if on floor 16th in Pattaya I could sleep with the windows open and not get mosquitos. The windows are without mosquito nets unfortunately. I haven't had any mosquitos during the day.

Can be done with only a strong tranquilizer, not really being "put to sleep". Less stressful than a gastroscopy where you need to swallow down the tube. I didn't know it was something you subjected yourself to without probable cause.

Banglamung Authorities Apprehend Suspect Selling Kratom Juice
JackGats replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
Replace "kratom" with "cannabis" and you get the type of article that will get published soon after they pass the de-legalisation bill on cannabis. The arresting and jailing will reboot. -
Could the so-called kratom tea be just dried up powdered leaves shaken with some orange juice to make it palatable? That's what it tastes like to me.
-
I fortunately have no acute pain to manage. I take kratom tea once a week when I'm in Thailand just for the hell of it. No more than once a week, at one-week intervals. I don't feel any kratom craving. I'm glad when I realise "hey today is my kratom day", that's all. Of course on other days cannabis may be what keeps my mind off the opiate kratom. So much for cannabis leading to stronger stuff.

No wonder women are on a rampage in the West. If you had "decked" your ex who deserved it, you would have gone to jail even if she started the hitting and was coming at you with a knife, that's what prevailing white knight's double standards like yours have brought about. If anyone or anything, human or animal hit you, you should be entitled to hit back, period.

Striking a man is ok though.

Do you take blood-pressure meds? Because I think there's some incompatibility between theanine and blood-pressure medications.
