Thai defence minister demands US offset details for F-16 jets
GammaGlobulin replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
No matter how you spell 'defense', the meaning is the same, 'offense'. -
I wish to thank you for goading me into purchasing an oven today. You will recall that I had thought of buying the Nesco, at about BT3660. This, I read, was some sort of deep discount, but I wonder. Seems to me that this is the usual/regular price. I decided not to buy it because this is available ONLY online, from shops such as PB, and other similar stores. Therefore, I had no option but to go to a shop, so that I could examine the "workmanship" before I committed to buy. So, this afternoon, I did visit a shop. And, I did buy a 70-liter oven, and Electrolux. It looks like this: Again, this is said to be some sort of SALE price, but I wonder. I think this is just he regular price...however.... Over 3 years ago, I bought the Electrolux 56-liter oven. And, I paid about Bt.7500.00..... So, I would say that the 70-Liter oven, the one being offered at this time, seems a bit better than what I bought last time, and it is larger, as well. And, the 56-Liter oven did not seem to have enough wattage. The oven would only reach about 230-degrees C, and not the 250 that the dial promised. As I mentioned elsewhere, I had problems with this oven, in addition to the temperature problem. After 2 weeks, the heating filaments stopped working, and the oven required a return to the local service company for repair. Then, because I was too stupid to take measures in order to avoid spattering during high-heat roasting, the entire oven became covered in grease (inside), and then the grease took on that rancid smell...and so I never seemed to be IN THE MOOD for roasting, after that. Also, I know that some here will say that I, the poster of this comment, am just engaging in BSing, and that I have not REALLY purchased this machine. So, maybe I will attach images of the machine and the shipping carton, just to put any of these rumors to rest...before they get started. Also, I will tell you, I found some Babe on YT, I will call her the Chicken Lady, who has produced 2 nice videos about roasting chicken and how to keep the roasting chicken and resultant grease from spattering all around the inside of the oven...and making it stink for about EVER....with no way to properly clean it and use it again. In fact, I would say that this can cause the oven to smell as if it were a Toxic Waste Dump of rancid chicken. I don't even like to go in my kitchen during the Hot Season, for just his reason. I need to get the 56-liter machine cleaned... And then I need to follow the Chicken Lady's advice. And then I can have a TOTAL of 126 Liters of Baking/Roasting Room in my kitchen. I will really enjoy that, because having an oven makes one's life worth living. So then, please let me post the Chicken Lady's YT secrets first. And then I will try to upload the images that I promised Y'all... This babe is from BOSTON, but I cannot place her accent. All I know is that the way she talks, I mean her pronunciation, is very soothing. I just subscribed to her channel, because I hope that She can give me some pointers... On how to properly cook chicken in my ovens...plural. She seems REALLY INTO chicken, by the way...A And, so am I... BIG TIME. Here is an image of the oven sitting in my kitchen... Also, please do not try to see if I am naked in my kitchen, because I am not. I mean I might be naked at the time I captured this image, but I already checked... And I think that you cannot see anything.... So, don't try to use any special software to enhance the image, for example... I will try to post a review of this oven, after I finish roasting ..... Maybe later.

I have never written a bad review on social media in my life. No benefit to me if I did. I have never written a sterling review on social media in my life. Not benefit to me if I did. If I should ever write a review on social media, then let it be completely ambiguous. -

Looking for garden shops that sell large cement statues in Chiang Mai

What is the approximate price for each? These are not exactly my style, but it would be helpful to know the price, in case any here are interested. -
Thai defence minister demands US offset details for F-16 jets
GammaGlobulin replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Would it not be FAR BETTER to just put all this money towards the building of a few Nuclear Warheads and the missiles required to lob the bombs into the territories of potential adversaries? No need to do so much pilot training. And, no need to waste money on maintenance of planes, either. Far more cost effective solution. Problem solved. -
Dear Folks, This new rainstorm which is presently upon us is something that I have never seen before during my days in Chiang Mai. It's actually quite rare for us to have this type of SOAKING Rain which lasts for days without respite. a. How long do you think this soaking Rain Storm will continue without letup? Mind you, I am not complaining. I find the rain relaxing, just as did WC Fields. But I want to know, also, when it will end. b. What I worry about is that one 2-week rainstorm might become a 3-week rainstorm, and then a month-long rainstorm. Is this possible? YES it is possible. In Taiwan, one single rainstorm can last for 60 days without stopping for an hour, in fact. This happens not only on the mountainous east coast of Taiwan, but also near and in northern cities of, say, Taipei and Keelung. c. What would happen to CM's tourist trade if we began to experience 60-day rainstorms? We know what might happen. Our CM tourists would head for Maui. d. So as I say, I do not care much, one way or the other. If it rains, it rains. I like it when it rains. I like it when it does not rain. But at the moment, it is raining, and it has been raining, solid, for the past 72 hours, at least, it seems. e. What can we expect in future years as our atmosphere continues to heat up, and we know we really had a hot year this year.....? We can know what will happen if we just read the science. Here, for example, is just one story in the popular press, and not really an article fit for any Science Journal, either. Yet, this just shows how worried we have become about long-lasting rains becoming even longer-lasting rains... https://www.nbcnews.com/mach/science/heavy-rains-are-rise-around-world-here-s-why-ncna1016961 Someday, this rain is going to end...(Kilgore)... Meaning this present rain we are experiencing (now in Chiang Mai). Best regards, Gamma Who is Kilgore?: Kilgore was HERE. And Kilgore was there. Kilgore was everywhere ..... sometime around WW2...as we all recall, Kilroy was anywhere he was needed.

I just completed this quiz. My Score 20/100 My Time 71 seconds Something went wrong. Messed up. Score SHOULD be 0/100. Must be something wrong with the quiz. Possibly Mercury was not properly aligned with Venus. I Must check! (Yes. It was Mercury. Should have known.)

The scam that's out to get YOU! The Faarang!
GammaGlobulin replied to JeffersLos's topic in General Topics
No matter what is between the covers, the title is correct. -
a. Ang Lee captured the mood of the time like no other. How he did this, coming from Taiwan, I have no clue, but he did. If you are not old enough to have lived through that era, and while you were still a teen, then you can never know. b. The music is amazing. And I mean the music created for the film, specifically. c. Everyone was living plastic lives at the time. And, it seems, nothing has changed. d. Those were times of great change, too. You would have had to live through the years of the 1950s and 1960s to know this, too. e. Nobody in this film has any idea why or for what they are living. They only move forward through their lives, without thinking or thought, just because they seem unable to choose a different path, or to choose to stop the madness. f. They throw their keys in the bowl, not because they have made a conscious choice to do so, but only because the bowl is there, and because they are asked to do so, even if they wish they could refuse. They are unable to refuse because they are being pushed along through their lives, and they cannot do otherwise. So.... This movie is creepy and beautiful. The music is strikingly beautiful. Eat Drink is also a dynamite film. And, it has many of the same themes. People are at the dinner table, sitting before a spectacular feast. Yet, they are only there out of habit. They do not enjoy being at the feast. They are being carried along through life with almost no ability to change their trajectories. Ang Lee is under appreciated, maybe...

The problem with Lichtman is that he does not realize that 2024 is an extremely atypical stretch of time. In 2024, nothing goes, and nothing is the same. For example, I NEVER thought in a MILLION YEARS that I would have changed my views about who I would rather see win the US race. Now, I have changed. And the chances of my reversals, such as this, were about one in 10-raised-to-the-highest-power (not God). Changing my stance on Trump would have been totally unthinkable. So then, maybe Lichtman knows not as much as he thinks he knows. Let's wait and see, because... This time, I really am past caring. Any warm body is fine with me, just as long as it is not the Salad Woman. Or, if it is, then who really cares, anyway. The US, as a nation, is a Failed Nation, just as Noam predicted, and reported. Therefore, let the chips fall where they may. And, maybe, I will vote, this time, for MaoZeDong, if the commies find some way to resurrect Old Mao. Wait a MINUTE! They ALREADY have! Mao has been reincarnated as President Xi....

Recommendation for Motorcycle boot for needed ankle support
GammaGlobulin replied to Rhys's topic in Motorcycles in Thailand
Why do you use boots, or need ankle support, unless you are racing on a track, and dragging your right boot on the track as you round corners? I would never wear flip-flops when riding, although I would not fear to ride barefoot. I once did a lot of riding around Martha's Vineyard, and Chappaquiddick, on a Honda 450, most of the time barefoot. Without the weight of shoes/boots on my feet, the CB450 would go just a tad over 95 MPH, on the narrow roads on the Vineyard, in 1970. Fortunately for the forum, I am still in one piece, though only bare-ly. This was considered a very nice vehicle for its time. I had a green one, too. Hate Red. Better dead than red. -
Yes. I agree. And the "lot" of people you mention are the very people who are not rational White Men. As I implied, it's only the many groups of irrational people who are fired up about Harris. The VP choice is not important, after the election, for anyone. If those groups of irrational people were, instead, rational, then they would realize, as I said, that the VP-choice is not important.
-
The VP pick has never been important to most rational thinkers. And, no matter her VP pick, she will never be acceptable to older white men. She is going to lose, no matter what she tries. Just remember, you heard it here... First. Come November 6, you will be crying in your beer....maybe. It's the fault of Biden. Harris' tougher stance in the ME somewhat surprising, and far better than that of Old Smokey Joe's, however. I WILL give her that. But, she must get even tougher if she is also to be fair.

This will be very beneficial for lowering the risk of Global Warming. Stop with the heating of houses! Stop adding C02 to our atmosphere. We should not be incentivizing increased use of fossil fuels to heat houses, anyway. -
Concerning the beauty of Florida before the White Man, this is a quiz question to which only someone like Howard Zinn might do justice, and I suggest reading Zinn's book: A People's History of the United States in order to answer it. As you can see, I always remain on-Topic...

OK Now, if not long before, we can see why ANG LEE makes such great films. Much underrated, Ang Lee, I have often thought. Ice Storm, in my view, is even more of a MASTERPIECE than Eat Drink!!!!! So NICE of you to post these telling quotes which say so much about the film. KINGSTON is not far from....MCGILL, I might add.
-
Yes. Being a slave to one's galley is much work. Fortunately, having no friends, I had the time. As with many other places in Florida, a US state, throughout it's History, it has been trashed by the white man. For example, Naples once was quite beautiful, and rather unique in that it was one of the quietest and most upscale villages on the Gulf coast of Florida. The houses, some quite large, were situated on plots of land, and separated from there neighbors. Beginning some time ago, everybody and his mother seems to have been razing and rebuilding larger and larger houses on their same plots of land. This means that many of the houses now have only about a meter or two separating one house from another. Thee architectural style these barbarians choose has no beauty to it. They just want big, and bigger. And they do not care if they all look alike or that they might have been designed by some Alien Artificial Intelligence. Therefore, say I, Naples has gradually become the dump that it is now. The people living there are unable to notice this ghastly change because the change has happened gradually. They are now boiling in this new pot of their own making. I am very happy that I am no longer there to see this tragedy. And, I do not care in the least that they have destroyed the place. I will never return. Let them reap what they hath sewn. The greedy bostards living in Naples deserve each other. Let them gasp their last cool breaths in their own good company. They have destroyed the very thing that once drew them to that small part of the world. In truth, they are no more than victims of immutable Human Nature.

A parent’s guide to choosing the right summer camp in Thailand
GammaGlobulin replied to CharlieH's topic in General Topics
Concerning the Dates of the Class Sessions...which someone mentioned... Clearly, the Summer Camp Season Schedule is designed to be compatible with the timing of the Summer Break at most international schools in Thailand. Also, concerning the cost of a 6-day camp session, this cost in fairly insignificant compared to the tuition at the more expensive international schools in Thailand. Therefore, camp costs are probably a non-issue. -
A parent’s guide to choosing the right summer camp in Thailand
GammaGlobulin replied to CharlieH's topic in General Topics
Well...I read the copy of the info in the body of this OP, and the information about the camp. It CLEARLY states that this is a US Style camp. This is stated at least TWO Times by whoever wrote the iCamp info. So, it's only natural that I comment in response to the article, I think. Correct?
