  1. Nearly everyone will have skeletons in their closets. (i have had to reinforce the latches on mine) Haters are going to hate - and try to bring others down - especially successful people. Your language with respect to 'ableist, sexist and racist' merely reinforces my statement that people, and apparently you too, are looking for every opportunity to be offended.
  2. OMG. a very tenuous link. iirc correctly , the lyrics have been changed. Who can forget The Black Eyed Peas - Let's get Retarded - whoops, sorry - Let's get it Started.. These days people are looking for every opportunity to be offended... I hate Cancel Culture
  3. When you wake up in the morning, feeling as low as shark sh*t - you look outside and see your car in the driveway, but you don't remember coming home.... Does that count??
  4. This appears to be a huge over-reaction by the employer. I doubt this was the 'Managers' first offence. My take is that the Hotel would have been looking for a reason to show this employee the door - and in doing so, also show how much they value their customers. Win , win. but - maybe I am overthinking this - I am sure it is much easier to fire an employee here in LOS than it was in Australia.
  5. nearly all snakes are defensive - ie any threat display is to protect themselves. Snakes will not chase us - we are not their prey if a snake is threatened and cornered - it may attempt to flee in your direction , but this should not be construed as 'chasing' you
  6. sorry - maybe I didn't make things clear. I was suggesting that the car was making a turn from the opposite side of the road, and consequently pulled in front of the rider - not that they were both turning
  7. The world is full of tools. Just another example. You can't fix stupid.
  8. Nothing sticks to teflon.
  9. The car was probably making a U turn from the other side of the road - crossing the path of the rider, who was unable to avoid the car. This also makes for an easier getaway by the driver of the car..
  10. Politics , and politicians are a necessary evil. I understand that voters will have a leaning towards a particular party - and their respective policies. However - I hate how it is ALL about the leader or these parties. I can understand why voters might want to vote for the Republicans , as the Democrats appear to be flailing. I do not understand why, in a country of 330 million people - Trump and Harris are seen as the best candidates. If that is the best you have.... very sad
  11. I just completed this quiz. My Score 40/100 My Time 156 seconds  
  12. "festering". must have been a doozie of an infection...lol
  13. I use a Mac Mini with a Samsung M8 monitor as my desktop computer. It works very well, The Mini does not have many ports, but this is easily remedied by adding an (also small) Satechi Mac Mini hub. The hub has the same footprint as the Mac mini. It gives me multiple Type C and card ports. The only issue I have with my system is I cannot get my Mac mini to operate with the Samsung webcam - but that is not a real problem for me. This system is faster than my M2 Macbook Pro.
  14. 555. They are all edible!! and according to my Thai family (and most other Thai I know) - they are all very dangerous and deadly - lol I am trying to educate them , but it is a battle...
  15. I agree with others - it looks like a (harmless) Rat Snake. It is NOT a Krait!
  16. I understand your concern for the welfare of other living creatures - however I honestly question the logic of perpetuating the canine problem in Thailand. There - I have said it . The elephant is now visible. If the dogs have owners - it is not your responsibility. If they are strays - it is still not your responsibility . When they cause a motorcycle accident, or bite someone - will you put your hand up to be responsible for their actions?
  17. The Captiva is an unreliable unloved model in other markets. (and here as well - hence the low price) As others have said - you need to pump up your budget a bit to get anything reasonable.
  18. +1 for the Soju in our younger days, Corona + Tequila = Coronita - these were guaranteed to induce a massive headache!
  19. Others... Global House , DoHome , Yong House. - most of the plumbing stock in Mr D is not great quality. Unfortunately the builder who built our house sourced most of our basic plumbing fittings from Mr DIY. I was not aware of this at the time. In the last 12 months I have replaced nearly all of them...
  20. Diesel prices do not fluctuate like petrol prices, because the cost of diesel is capped by the Government. It was capped at 32 baht for the last few years, but must have been raised lately, because I have seen prices creep up a bit in my area too...
  21. I just completed this quiz. My Score 62/100 My Time 112 seconds  
  22. looks good. I dream of it being 10.1C (and feeling like 7.8'C) in Kanchanaburi! 555
