I am thinking of hitting on my 85-year-old next-door neighbor, in fact. I am even thinking about getting out my ladder, and climbing up to her second-floor window at 2AM. I haven't done anything with my ladder since I was 18. Those were the good old days.

Correction: I am up for girls of 85, too! Thai girls of 85 are more experienced. Also, they are quite humorous, and humor is something I very much appreciate. Once a Thai woman reaches the tender age of 85, she becomes much less demanding in bed.

I have always loved onions. However, from now, and ever after, I will cook my onions, unless.... I get them from a reliable source.

I can. But, still, these days... I spend most of my time leering at the over-70 set of women here in Thailand. Some are still pretty spry, and pretty, too.

I, too, have never had any problems with eating vegetables sold at Lotus or Tops. My guess is that it was this particular vendor at a small village stand. Anyway, I guess I will now completely swear off raw stuff, ....for....the.... Rest of my life. a. Absolutely ZERO problem with the canned tuna. b. Absolutely ZERO problem with the Mayo, which is Hellman's. FINE stuff, this Hellman's. ZERO problem with Hellman's, and I swear by it. LOVE IT. c. Very little heat or humidity in my house. I have my ACs running 24/7/365, and keep the temps down to about 22, or below. Humidity is always below about 65%. d. After opening, I religiously refrigerate the Mayo, within minutes of use. Zero problem here. ========== There is actually a very good reason that the Chinese on Taiwan, and in Mainland China, stir fry their veggies, and rarely, if ever, eat raw vegetables. They cannot be sure in what conditions they were grown. Many years ago, I had never seen a Chinese guy eat salads...haha....and I hate raw salads, too. Onions are wonderful with Mayo and pork, or chicken, or beef. But, from now on.... No raw onions for me. ========== I like red onions, the purple kind, but I have not seen the good kind here. Small price to pay, to not eat raw onions, I guess. And, as I mentioned above: I feel little reticence about eating raw garlic cloves, which I also love, and do not worry me, since I am never close enough to women to bother them.

Never venture on balconies above the ground floor, should be our watchword.

Younger people enjoy the bumping. Older riders, might not. If the bumping becomes too bumpy, then stop the riding. Anytime you are on a smaller bike, then you will feel the bumps more. Therefore opt for something larger, and this is the only way, as physics tells us.... I never rode on anything less than a Honda 450CB, in 1970. And, that was far too tiny for me.

No intention to overclock this great CPU. And, no need, either.

No WIFI needed. This is overkill. Expensive, too.

This is not the ASUS site, but here is a nice rundown on the best mainboards for the i5 3600K CPU... This link seems useful....: https://tech4gamers.com/best-motherboard-for-i5-13600k/ Many (a few, anyway) are listed on this page....

Yes. I know. Also, I think that Linus always regretted his off-the-cuff comment on NVIDIA, a while back. And, also.... You told me to look at the ASUS site to find the best motherboard compatibility for my chosen CPU. So, I did search the ASUS Global site...but....still...I am unable to find what you were referring to...so... Do you have the link? If not, I will continue to search. Thank you.

Please stay away from the raw chicken laab, please, if you value your health....is my suggestion. All Thai food is great, in my opinion. It's just the raw chicken that I draw a line at eating.... Thai food is GREAT!

By the way: One exception to the rule that most Chinese do not eat raw vegetables is the eating of raw cloves of garlic, whole, with noodles, or as a compliment to many dishes. It is TRUE that Chinese people enjoy eating raw garlic, and I do, too. I don't know if the garlic, itself, has some antimicrobial action which makes the eating of raw cloves raw OK. However, I can attest to the fact that I have never gotten sick, once, from eating raw garlic cloves. And so, instead of putting raw onions on my sandwiches, from this day hence, now that I have learned my lesson, I will always substitute raw garlic, slicked thinly, as a substitute for the onions. Those onions truly gave me both a tummy upset and a headache, for sure....

I very much doubt it. However, more apropos to this Topic, and as you probably know, I spent most of my life in Taiwan. And, in Taiwan, it is not the habit of people there to eat fresh salads, or fresh vegetables. The reason was obvious, and the reason was that Taiwan growers used to use night soil, as a matter of course. Have you ever seen Chinese eat fresh vegetables? Personally, this is kind of a rare thing on most tables. Therefore, I will change my culinary habits a bit, now. I will never eat raw anything....other than raw chicken larp (laab) in Thailand. And, it is best to, often, take a deworming pill after dining on raw laab, IMHO.... This is what my Thai teacher always told me, anyway.

Thank you for your, hitherto unnoticed, sensitivity, this time. Either way, if it makes both of us happy, I see no reason in your not expressing your thoughts in a more candid way. I can take it with complete equanimity. I am HAPPY to take it, in fact. I have many good friends from the UK. Some from Scotland, too. Note: Anything you might say to me, for sure, cannot be quite as bad as ingesting a questionable onion.

Wow...I really cannot believe this: I was just about to reach out to ASUS for help selecting a mainboard for my Intel i5 3600K CPU selection. BUT....then....they asked me for my birthdate on the service-request form. This is a TOTAL turnoff! Talk about INTRUSIVE, Baby! No Way, Jose! They need some COOLING, and Baby, I ain't Foolin'.... No need to ask my info, including my birthdate, my height, or....the length of my long schlong...for that matter, just to ask about compatibility of my CPU.... Weird..... So very Weird.... Baby!!!!!! I will give ASUS every INCH of my Love.....

Someday, I will post a Topic about this. Not really as humorous as you might imagine.

I like JIB prices and inventory. I dislike JIB sales people. So, basically, it is just about Cost/Benefit for me. I tolerate the JIB sales people while pinching my nose. I will always buy from JIB...under duress, for the above stated reason. Maybe JIB can fix this problem with their sales force?

I must eat bread. And, I must NOT eat cake. When my bread tastes like cake, I do not touch even a bite of it. I prefer rice. However, rice does not a sandwich make.

No. it was not the Mayo, that caused my distress, I am quite certain. But, here is an image you, and I, might enjoy...

My concern was that the onions might have been grown with questionable fertilizer, is all, mostly. Who knows if anyone is using nigh soil, for example, these days!

NICE! Looks GREAT! OK, you may be correct. When my fans were failing, most, I was living by the Pacific Ocean in Taiwan, on the East Coast, with typhoons, and the Northeasterly salty winds blowing in, almost constantly for about 9 months out of the year. My GPUs failed regularly, due to fans quitting, or capacitors blowing....after being blown by the salty air. Maybe you are correct that the GPU fans should last a long time, if properly cared for. This, I DNK. Still, for my needs, IF I can do without extra complexity, then this will definitely be my goal. Nice photo... Thank you for sharing....

Does anyone know if it is OK to enjoy raw onions from local markets on sandwiches? Any gastrointestinal hazards in doing so? The other day, I made a tuna sandwich using Mayo and onions purchased at the local market. And, I now cannot say that I am in fine fiddle. Would you use locally grown onions, purchased at the village market, on your sandwiches? I think I may steer clear of doing this, in the future. Would the Earle of Sandwich agree? Tks for any advice. Or, is it just me, and others have no qualms about using raw onions on their sandwhiches? Thank you. Regards, Gamma

OK. My issue is the ===fans=== on the GPUs which fail me. If I could buy a solid-state GPU (no fans), then I would gladly consider a discrete GPU. Also, I do not like the extra noise from the GPU fans... So, it is not that I would not happily buy a discrete GPU...but that it is the fans mounted on the GPUs which really are lousy, IMHO....

I wish it were so, My Friend! However, actually, I use my computers for the betterment of Mankind, and also to educate the Chinese... And, 4 monitors is my bare minimum for this important task. Thank you, though, for your welcome humor on this Topic....
