Dear Folks, This question has been plaguing me for ages. Which sex, in Thailand, is the smarter sex? Is it the men, with muscles? Or, is it the softer sex, in Thailand, that is the smarter? I know what I know, and I know the correct answer. But, I do not want to color your replies just by prematurely voicing my view. IMHO, outside of grad school, there is clearly just one sex that is, on average, remarkably more intelligent. Maybe this is due to several factors. Maybe it is the men who do not care enough about reading books, or about the importance of education. So, outside of grad schools, and those studying the Natural Sciences at the premier unis in Thailand, which sex is the smarter sex? How do you tell which is smarter? What are your criteria for making judgments? Does one sex, compared to the other, actually make sense when you talk to them, rather than to just grumble or grunt? There are many ways to tell which sex is more intelligent in Thailand. What is yours? Personally, I find it is the women here who are much more intelligent and liberal in their dealings with Farang. Has this been your experience, as well? I know what I know. I have been here a very long time. I do not waste my time talking to those that I perceive as being less than they could be, if only they were not so troglodytic in nature. And so, I do not waste my time talking to about 50-percent of the people I meet, for just this reason. Thank the gods for the women, in Thailand...because.... Without the intelligent women of Thailand, most of us would not have remained here.... Don't you tink? Best regards, Gamma

Good Luck in doing this. A very worthy pursuit, for sure!!!!!! Note: Needless to say, I would opt for Opensuse Leap 15.6 if I were you.... https://en.opensuse.org/Install_openSUSE_on_a_Mac NOTE: Do NOT use MINT, because SUSE Leap 15.6 is just so much better.... REALLY......!

KDE on OpenSUSE 15.6: Greatest thing since Sliced Bread!
GammaGlobulin replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in Linux
Hi Folks, I just wanted to report and UPDATE, as I told you that I would, just how much I had expected to LOVE OpenSUSE 15.6. In all honesty, ridding myself of Windows 10/11 has been the best thing that has happened to me since.... Since, I lost my virginity while listening to NIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN.... Some of you might, at your advanced age, feel that you are just too lazy to switch to OpenSuse 15.6. But, I am here to tell you that it's as simple as Humble Pie, to switch away from MS, and embrace the refreshing freedom of using the VERY BEST of all distros for the Desktop. The learning curve is almost nonexistant. IF you have ever used Linux in the distant past.... NOW, Linux Desktop, especially OpenSUSE, is a really winner. The reason for this update is just to encourage at least two others on this worthy forum. If I can do just this, then the time I have spent writing this comment will be worthwhile to me. Just how much better is OpenSUSE compared to Windows OS, at this time? It's like Night and Day. It's just so good. I will never go back. Never. Also, there are some very interesting ways in which the KDE desktop is better than the Windows Desktop. Too many to explain, here, in any detail. Really, you need to experience this for yourselves. As I say... Once you make the change to Opensuse Leap 15.6, it will be like experiencing, all over again, that long-ago evening when you listened to NIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN, and explored the Mysteries Without Any Clue..... I think it might have been Seger who first noticed this..... Enjoy.... Because, you will NOT be sorry.... MS will soon be dead..... Better to leave now, while the leaving is good.... NOTE: Opensuse Leap 15.6 is truly.... "A GIFT FROM A FLOWER TO A GARDEN" -
I want to add HDD to my Corsair 5000D, but No Cage!
GammaGlobulin replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in IT and Computers
I have always liked UGREEN out of China...for cables...I must say. Also, as you have found, the 4000D case is probably just as good as the 5000D, and just check the reviews if one has any question about this. You know... Great Minds (Geniuses)....think alike....obviously... This Corsair Case (5000D) is one I REALLY love...!!! Note: Particularly... The Tac Switch...the tac power switch on this case.... Is quite LOVELY.... In fact.... The Tact Switch for the power on the 5000D is like....so satisfying... It's almost as good to push it as it was, back in the day, when I was fingering my first GF.... Great So....Satisfying....! Anytime I push it... The comp immediately just ....CUMS ALIVE! -

GammaGlobulin replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in IT and Computers
Three for four decades ago, when PC assembly was "newer" and more interesting, that was the time.... THAT WAS THE TIME.... When I would work on PCs. myself.....and enjoy such diversions. But now that I am older, I get no pleasure from these things, anymore than I would from changing the oil on my Jaguar XK-E... Therefore, far better for me to just take this monster to JIB, and let one guy that I know, and who is very easy to work with, to do these menial tasks....for me. Yes, Sir.... Decades ago, when PCs were new....THAT WAS THE TIME....Sir.....but not now... Time passes... And, what we were interested in before.... No longer is anything but a huge BORE..... NOW! I do not walk as fast as I once did. I do not speak as fast as I once did... That is our lot in life.....Lalena.... Why was I born, anyway? Just to assemble simple PCs???? I know I'm no longer a young man, Folks! I know! I Know! I KNOW! But, what is it that I know.... Actually? I know that the 5000D case did NOT have the 3 sleds it should have had, when shipped to me. These 3 sleds were NOT included. I must buy. I must pay more. In this world of broken conspicuous consumption.... We just must... PAY and PAY..... Like the Sugarplums we truly are..... Maybe.... I just need a shave to make me feel.... Right with the world, Once more.... -

GammaGlobulin replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in IT and Computers
Thanks, Man! What I really need is a WOMAN in my HOUSE to do these simple things for me, in order that I may concentrate on solving the problems of The World. Anyway, I will now search for the brackets, etc., that were initially supplied with the 5000D case. Then, I will find some woman, in the neighborhood, around my house, to insert them in my case, for me. By the Way... Yes...Good Advice, Sir! Tks. NOTE: Chinese women are just better at this sort of thing.....TRUE! -

GammaGlobulin replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in IT and Computers
My purpose is to continue using my existing 4TB HDDs while they still work. So, I either need to buy cages and trays and install in the 5000D, or use a separate enclosure. Some guys would just spend the money to buy 1.2TB of M.2 storage, I guess. But, how much would THAT cost? I am Cheap Charlie, you know. (Also, what did you do to the formatting here? You kno have my typing from the middle of the page, as if I am doing Thesis Titles, or something!) -
How do you survive a visit from the dreaded Thai family?
GammaGlobulin replied to Chris Daley's topic in General Topics
If it's a Bentley I would go. The best/ONLY way to avoid visits from in-laws is to not get married. Or, divorce as soon as possible. Or, live in a faraway country with no nearby airstrip, like South America. Easiest way and cheapest way is to just not get married. -

GammaGlobulin replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in IT and Computers
Well, it has a few... But, I think only two have heatsink... And, heatsink is good because M.2 memory modules are cheaper without heatsink, at least I thought so. -

You know I am lazy. I have not even gotten around to turning of the numlock in BIOS. -

GammaGlobulin replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in IT and Computers
I realize that you get a kick out of belittling my vast computer skills. Anyway, yes, I can use Samba for sharing drives. I am only concerned about the hardware to use, such as which ports might be best. Also, about screwing up the view. Therefore, the suggestion to use Ethernet was interesting to me. -

GammaGlobulin replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in IT and Computers
When you do, please be sure to give proper attribution. Waiting.... Anyway, I enjoy the uncluttered view of my MB. If I add HDDs and cables...then.... View will be all screwed up. -
I want to add HDD to my Corsair 5000D, but No Cage!
GammaGlobulin replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in IT and Computers
I have never had a computer that would not be fitted with a cage to hold HDDs. I still have quite a bit of hardware that I did not install originally, but even if this case was a bad choice, then it is too late now. What I hate are the blue and red lights emanating from the MB. I need to find some switch to turn them off. I would definitely expect that this MB has a number of SATA sockets. And there are: Total supports 4 x M.2 slots and 4 x SATA 6Gb/s ports* I thought if I had the HDDs attached via Ethernet it might be OK since I will be sharing them between 3 computers, and I would prefer to have them more accessible in a separate box. Or, I might be able to use the USB 3.2 Gen 2 connector (supports USB Type-C) thingy. -

No. 6 was an exaggeration for the purpose of instruction only. 4 is sufficient. But, I prefer 5, as usual. -

GammaGlobulin replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in IT and Computers
a. Yes. Too much space inside the GIANT 5000D box. b. I have only 2 fans on the case. c. Then, I have a GREAT CPU cooler which is huge. d. But no cage for HDD, as I have stated in the OP. -

Dear Folks, Maybe you now forget when.... Many years ago, guys running for public office were SERIOUS...? https://youtu.be/punm9mJC2_U Worth a watch, if only to gain some sort of perspective on Harris.... VS.... McNamara. Is Harris serious? Serious about WHAT exactly? You decide. You compare. Just no comparison. It's a matter of culture. Sure it is. Right? But, what are your options? 5555555555 Regards....

At your age: Do you still take life seriously?

So... Nobody has actually yet answered the question: Can we take life seriously, at our age? And, at this time, when... We finally realize that EITHER Trump or Harris.... Will soon be President of the World?
