  1. I should be allowed to ride on the sidewalk, but no one else!

    Grab app

    This surprised me, according to Google: "Line Man does not charge restaurants a commission on their food orders in Thailand. However, Line Man does charge customers a high fee for deliveries. As of the first half of 2024, Line Man had the largest market share of food delivery transactions in Thailand, with 44 percent." Lineman definitely does not cater to the expat market. Also interesting is that Foodpanda is not profitable although Grab is, I guess because of their ride hailing service.
  3. I just completed this quiz. My Score 20/100 My Time 52 seconds

    Both Foodpanda and Grab screw up bad every once in a while and there is nothing you can do about it as neither offers the option anymore of actually chatting or talking with a real person. So every time you order you have to accept that it is a calculated risk but it usually works great. Delivery from both is cheap enough and convenient enough that it is worth the relatively small risk of an extended delivery time or some other absurd weirdness. In my opinion, that is. I use one or the other every day. They do generally refund my money if an order does not arrive at all or it is the wrong order.
  5. They will probably also throw out any USA strategies for dealing with future pandemics and any funding for implementation when a new pandemic occurs. Why? Because they are ideologues and sycophants in the service of an uneducated, uncaring and uninterested leader.
  6. What a ridiculous scam mattress pricing is. It is impossible to figure out if a sale is really a sale or to correlate price to quality. It's true in the USA too.
  7. It is still working, however they have region blocked it. If I set my VPN (ExpressVPN) to USA or Toronto it works perfectly.
  8. And just like that with everyone's help I figured out what I needed and got a good price. Thanks!
  9. Thanks! I am confused about the cable. Do I need a Type C to Type C to get maximum charging or does it charge the same with USB A to Type C? I think I have a Type C-2 on my laptop. ((1) USB 3.2 Gen 2.0 Type-C® port; 10 Gbps signaling rate (USB Power Delivery, DisplayPort™ 1.4, HP Sleep and Charge)
  10. I recently bought a new HP computer which supports USB C charging. I was annoyed that it did not come with a 65W charger though, only the larger AC charger/cable. Any suggestions for a cheap 65W charger. Looking at Lazada it is impossible to figure out if the cheap ones are real or good. I usually just buy UGGREEN products but their cheapest one is 950 baht or so. I would like to pay 500 or less, but maybe that is not possible?
  11. Me too. I have topped up my elder card three times, at 500 baht per time, since the new rule/new card came into effect. I asked the cashier about it and she said no problem. They have received no instructions about foreigners using or topping up the old elder card, only that the new discounted card is available only to Thais.
  12. I am surprised, because officers working out of the Thonglor police station have a reputation for integrity and proper behavior. They live to protect and serve the citizens of their district and are prime examples of all that is decent and good about the Thai police force. That said, I am sure justice will be appropriately served in this matter and such an aberration will never happen again.
  13. Assuming you are using Chrome. It may have added an extension to your Chrome browser. Go to the three dots in the top right corner, then extensions, then check for any McAfee or any other unknown extensions and delete or disable them.
  14. As above, go to your apps list and uninstall anything that says McAfee.
  15. Under Thai law, the new owner must honor your contract with the previous owner. However, things can get complicated of course. Why not discuss it with your current owner?
  16. The American people have spoken and they elected a man and his minions with absolutely no interest in even attempting to fix the health insurance problem. The problem of course is that the only solution, the solution every other developed country has accepted, involves government power and control and that is simply unacceptable.
  17. Oh, I didn't get that from your post. I thought you had an interest in the truth about her. Never mind... 🙂
  18. Since you have an open mind, if you watch the documentary "I am Greta" you will find that her past and her parents are nothing like you think.

  20. "J-6 hostages"! Good men, brave and true. The best of America. They deserve the Medal of Freedom. (Sarcasm)
  21. As you are in chiang Mai, just go to any branch of Nana Bakery. Problem solved!!!
  22. Maybe part of the problem is the demand for illicit drugs in the USA? Why blame only the supplier? I like Mexico's new leader!
