i disagree with this statement: "For example, if you're landing with a 10 knot tailwind, your landing distance may increase by 50%. " i disagree, 100 percent. Please show the data. This is ludicrous, at least where commercial jets are being considered. Show the data and the graphs. Then, we will decide.

For one thing, it does not require me to play games in order to dry my clothes. Also, I use ozonated water to clean them. When the stains don't come out, I give the offending parts a bath in muriatic acid. Still, as I say, this Topic is more about washing away the stains from the past administration. And, this is best done at night.

Thank you for your support. My reply was no more than a rhetorical remark confirming what you stated, and not a question. I understood that you understand the dynamics of closeness to power in Asia, and distance from power in Asia. So then.... Ours is not to reason why; ours is but to do and die....as you know.

Somebody's missing the MAIN POINT....which is.... It was ONLY Jeff who could hold several thousand fans riveted, with NO VOCALS.....for two hours....and leave them begging for more. Hendrix could not have done this. Because Hendrix was only a demi-god, compared to the REAL GOD....Jeff Beck. And, live in Tokyo (1999) was not Jeff's best performance. Jeff's best performance was done at Ronnie Scott's..... Hendrix was only HALF of what Jeff was. He never new it, meaning Jeff never new it. Jeff was better. Jeff was the god.

Unfortunately..... The Moon has gone behind the storm clouds now rolling in (here in CM). Looks like rain. It also FEELS like rain. Will my clothes dry in time? Before the rain begins this morning? So many existential questions we must address.... Every day of our lives. How can we even put on a happy face..... Unless we can trust in God.

Well.... I just hope that we can ALL keep in mind that..... All this washing, throughout this night, is really nothing more than.... A metaphor for both life, and..... This most recent election. It still appears to be a long time before the dawn....and all. Anyway, for sure....some things will soon be all washed up. Just ask Trump. He is very busy, these days, doing his washing.... Some say.
-
Maybe.... But, I will tell you quite honestly.... Hanging out one's laundry to dry at this time of night is best done on Loi Krathong....because.... This is the evening when the Moon is the brightest. I am loving it. My clothes will be dry before dawn....hopefully. NOTE4: Be sure to hide your roaches.....

The answer to your question is this: While doing my laundry, no matter how long it takes... I never waste a moment of my life. Instead, I use this time to reflect upon the very many insights that I have gained through my readings of various authors, throughout my life. And, I will tell you: The greatest thinker that I have read in my life is none other than.... NOAM CHOMSKY. Fortunately, he is still alive....though...apparently... Just barely. My heart is with Noam, these days..... Even while washing my clothes. Just Keeping a clean mind! This is what we all should be doing..... (My SAMSUNG washing machine is now signalling me.....so sorry.... I must go now.)

Listen guys! Have you ever wondered why your wives can just stand and watch their washing machines progress from one cycle to the next cycle? Women love to watch their washing machines agitate and spin. Did you ever wonder why they become so fixated on the workings of their machines? Well...I would tell you...but.....then.... What would be the point? Let's just say that I am one who....actually....KNOWS....!

Dear Friends, Being a Super-Clean Farang, I wanted to share with you my thoughts concerning how I, personally, keep myself, and my clothes, super clean. Fortunately, I have the help of a Korean manufacturer.....SAMSUNG. In the past, I recall that I made some observations about Samsung washing machines that I had, frequently in the past, used without being much impressed. However, I think it might have been the fact that, due to those machines being poorly maintained, or just extremely old, I mistakenly provided an inaccurate view of my radically changed view of SAMSUNG Products sold in Thailand, at least, for example, Samsung memory, Samsung refrigerators, and Samsung washing machines.....(BUT, I still do not like the Samsung ACs that I have used in Thailand's guesthouses where I have stayed. My opinion about my new 16Kg washing machine that I purchased a short time ago is that: This Samsung washing machine is a BEAST.....but an extremely quiet beast.....in fact....WHISPER QUIET. The Samsung machine I purchased....I now love....for many reasons. 1. It's quiet. 2. It's stable. 3. It does the job. 4. It keeps this Farang fairly clean, which can't be easy. Some say that Farang are not as clean as Asians, but I DO NOT think so. I think that, if any Farang were to buy a Samsung washing machine, same as I did, then... Even Farang could have laundry JUST as CLEAN as the laundry washed by Koreans in Korea. The reason for this Topic is TWO-FOLD.... a. Some time back, I commented on the poor performance of the coin-operated washing machines I had used at guesthouses and in village-stores, and what-not....BUT.... This was not really a valid test. Therefore, I now want to amend my assessment to provide a more accurate view of what I actually think. b. What I think is that this Samsung washing machine is .....AMAZINGLY GREAT for the money I paid. I am SUPER, DUPER, happy with its performance. It cleans well, even for a Farang. I have ZERO complaints. I think if you check back in past Topics, then you can find the exact model of this machine which I purchased...and.... I am very glad I chose this Samsung model. c. So....IF....I had a GF, and were not as celibate as I am....the FIRST thing I would do would be to buy an extra machine for my GF....i.e... i. One machine for my GF to use.... ii. And, one machine for me to continue to use.... iii. I would never allow my GF, or anyone else, to even handle my Samsung machine.....meaning I do love it this much. =============== I will be happy to reply to any valid and sincere questions concerning my impressions of the Samsung BEAST washing machine I bought. Also...PLEASE....do NOT talk to me about any SIDE-LOADERS or FRONT-LOADERS...because.... I am just too happy with this TOP-LOADER. =========== In conclusion, for those that might mistakenly believe that I did not actually buy this machine.... HERE are two photos of my machine....set on.... SUPER-DUPER CLEAN CYCLE.... And, please believe me.... This Super-Clean cycle works. Also, please note from the images... I have every setting cranked up to the very TOP. Water level, Wash time, number of rinses, and number of spins....the entire schlemiel....(that's Philly talk).... Meaning that.... I do not care about time...because.... It's only 12:42AM, so far, and I still have hours of darkness before the sun returns...when I will hang this load.... To dry. I am a bonehead for not buying this machine....far sooner. If you have a GF...then....get one for her...and...also... One for yourself. This is what I would do.... In a heartbeat. I am please as punch to be using a machine as fine as this one.... Almost gets me quite hard, every time I do. No joke.... Buy this machine....if you can get it for the same price I paid. It's a keeper. Best regards, Thinking of you and your beloved who washes your clothes.... Gamma

Best cheap purchase you have made
GammaGlobulin replied to susanlea's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Sorry, but this reply to your comment was, about 30-minutes ago, interrupted by some company called....as I recall....Ivermectin Community Services, or something, due to an "UPDATE"....not sure why. Anyway, I think we are now back on track. If I can recover my train of thought after this interruption, I was in the process of saying: The name of my water company, the one that provides me with a steady supply of superb water, reliably, rain or shine...is.... GUNGA DIN Water Works. You can google the name, and try it for yourself. Everyone worries about water, these days. Speaking of Gunga Din..... Did you know where this name originated, and what made this water-company's name so famous? It's based on an obscure poem written by my alum, Rudyard Kipling...and..... It goes like this..... I just LOVE the part when this poem goes..... DIN! DIN! DIN! Reminds me of .... RIN! TIN! TIN! Rin-Tin-Tin was, just like Gunga.... Such a loyal old dog. Shrooms are not for the likes of me.... Not necessary. But, water is what we are made of....as you know. This is why I drink only water delivered to me by.... GUNGA DIN Water Works. Google it.... Buy it..... And, happy hydrating...... Regards, Gamma Did they mention some old water bag? Now, my company delivers in PE Jugs. -

Best cheap purchase I have ever made? OZONATED WATER: 20 Liters Baht 25 By the Jug I use a great company with excellent service. Haven't got sick once..... Which, I might add, is far better than my track record with those purple berries I have been eating, found in my front yard. And it's a fair wind, blowin' warm.... Here in Chiang Mai. I am happy with my water company! They carry my water for me. NOTE4: Price inclusive..... Wait: Isn't that some sort of English Idiom....or something? -
Could be... EXCEPT... I noticed that later this afternoon.... Traffic Control reversed the direction of landings. So....one might suppose.... This is not the reason. I think the reason is that Traffic Control just wants aircraft to BUZZ us.... From the opposite direction.... Once in a while. This is all that makes sense to me. NOTE4: By the way, I would say that anyone who intends living in one place, here in Chiang Mai, pay particularly close attention to airport related noise..IF...one hopes to retain one's sanity....as have I. Also, I would say that if I had it to do over again.... I would build a house with an underground bunker. Having an underground bunker, completely impervious to external noise, is so crucial for general well-being. An underground bunker can protect us from roosters, low-flying aircraft, barking dogs, motorsickles, heavy diesel trucks, Motorsickle Gangs on their Loud Harleys, Loi Krathong Fireworks, and just SO MUCH MORE.....! And... It's all about CONTROL. IF one can control the noise, then there is far less stress. For example, IF one has an underground bunker...then... Once can easily stay above ground, most of the time, and not feel stress...because... It is this capacity to CONTROL the noise that provides peace of mind. Just by having a SOUNDPROOF RETREAT, under one's house... Then, stress is relieved. One can, at anytime....just go underground... Turn on one's computer, in peace and quiet, and post Topics on TV. Also, have a bed down there, too...just in case the noise lasts for more than eight hours. Yes, My Friends.... Having an underground Sound Bunker...is a Moral Imperative....to protects against losing one's mind. But REALLY..... I am still designing my DREAM ROOM...underground.... Something like this... Only Quieter.... IMHO... Almost NOBODY should live in Chiang Mai without a room this good, or better.... A room like this can protect Farang from both Noise and Smoke....
