Could be half and half, but... She is ALL Amazon! From the Greek: Amazōn (This is the Olympics, after all....)

If you find an apartment/condo/house with a built-in oven, then would you not expect that you might need to pay more rent for such a well-equipped kitchen? I would think so. Therefore, instead of looking or a place with a built-in oven, which is also not so easy to find, then I would spend my money to buy a counter-top oven. Also, I would NOT, again, buy a cheap one, like the Electrolux, the largest available, that I purchased. I found that the temps were not so accurate on the one delivered to me. Instead, I would pay more, using the money I had saved on the rent.... Later, if I needed to move, then I could easily take the oven with me to my new house.... For example.... https://edition.cnn.com/cnn-underscored/reviews/breville-joule-smart-oven-review I really like the looks of this one, Breville. This might not be large enough. There are other counter-top ovens that are larger. Just my worthless two cents...but... I love having an oven. Having access to an oven makes life worth living. ----- By the way....this is the larger convection oven I have. It is the same machine, but different brand name. So, this must be made by some OEM in China, or something.....and supplied to both Electrolux and this company... Or, it might be made by Electrolux in Thailand. I have no idea. I thought it would be OK, but I had problems with it from the beginning, and had to send it back for servicing during the first two weeks. If not identical, then almost identical. --------- If I had it to do over, I would not buy Thailand product.....or Thailand sales channel.... I would buy from some other source...if I could...Maybe China, etc....But, the price should be lower than the cost they charged me in Thailand, I think... Import tax is ridiculous...of course.....

He is just implying that, within the next four years, all Christians will be either raptured up to heaven, or ruptured. After the rapture, Christians will not need to vote.

I find that interesting. Because, everywhere else I look in Thailand, the use of Thai Script seems undeniable. I am OK with Romanization of Thai Script... It's just that we would need to choose one form of romanization to be a standard. If this is in fact necessary, then I would definitely use the romanization system used by BECKER in all her Thai language study books. The orange Becker book is good for reference. OR. What about this? We could have English Grammar quizzes. Thai Script is not used in the English language. And, everybody loves grammar quizzes (this is actually true).

Correct. This was actually the trashing of French culture. And, who was that fat woman with the silver globe on her head supposed to be? And, if she was attending the Last Supper, why was she so happy? One would have thought she might have been more worried about receiving her last meal. But, what I really want to know.... Where were all the Thai Ladyboys in France when this show was organized? Surely, Thai Ladyboys are far better than anything available in France, these days....

Groucho talked truth to power, always. Nobody and nothing was too powerful for The Marx Brothers. They were New Yorkers, after all......

This is just an intelligence issue. The Thai girls I know are very insightful, serious, and kind. They do not giggle behind a hand, as do some Japanese girls. I tend to hang with the smart Thai girls. Otherwise, they seem shallow compared to my former Chinese wife, whose brother did his PhD in Computer Engineering at U. of Pennsylvania. If anything, my former wife was a bit too mature for her age, and not shallow enough in bed, although once she got going... She was up for any sort of sexual antics.

He did far better than I. But then, I suffer from Test Phobia. (Most likely, some sort of passa Thai quiz might be nice, say about two Thai language quizzes per week; and in both Thai Script and also Romanized alphabet.)

All traffic signals and signalling should be completely OPTIONAL. I hope that one day soon, I can configure the removal of said green arrow. Next you know it, we will have to use our indicators while posting Topics.

In my view, Olympics Organizers are always too conservative. This is why, in Beijing, Plant was, so mistakenly, not invited. Plant would have been too much for the Commies. Page was invited: But, Plant, sadly, was not. Plant would have been Too Powerful For Karl Marx, and Marxism!: There is just NO ACCOUNTING for TASTE!

Culture is Important! You even stated as much in the body of the OP. How many times must I repeat myself? Culture plus IQ are crucial for understanding aesthetics, and also so much more.

I knew that...!

Sorry, I did not know. What about flaming cheese, or other flambeed dishes. I love flambeed cheese, which is just flaming cheese, and I wish I had some right now. Give me five, please!

Or, even worse... One member might take the quiz, and then write down the questions... And then feed those questions to another member.... And then the second member would have both the questions and the correct answers to the quiz, even before clicking on the link to begin the quiz. The only way to circumvent this eventuality would be to have a much larger pool of possible questions, using some AI Robot, and then select five questions from an infinite number of questions, at random, while ensuring that no two quiz-takers ever be presented with the same quiz questions.

I am sure that the wording you had been searching for is: flaming masochists

I can't stop. My readership will not allow such a thing to happen.

With all these new quizzes, although I like the idea, in principle, I also worry about increasing levels of competition between members. This is why I would favor a collective quiz rather than an individualistic quiz. If we had one of these group quizzes, such are now very popular in most schools, then nobody would feel that they had lost, or were losers. Or, as a good alternative to this, I would like to see more quizzes on TV that had no single correct answers. Maybe we could, instead of multiple-choice questions, use essay questions. Personally, I would prefer any quiz that had long essay questions. I am more used to these. Hopefully, soon, I will see some essay quiz-questions posted in this new Quiz Section of TV.... Hopefully..... (Remember Hendrrix....and his song that ended with HOPEFULLY?)

Will you never stop?

I will never become a card-carrying Farang. Better Red than Dead, I always say...

Shows that specialize in rampant hyperbole, such as TYT, I do not watch. They give me a headache. They cloud the mind through their reliance on EMOTION rather than calm presentation of evidence. It is shows like these that go over well with nitwits in the USA.

I disagree, in that much of the manipulation happened before the presidential candidates were selected. Obama who chose Hillary, and not Biden, in the far distant past, for example. Is this a democratic approach to the selection of office-holders? Maybe read some research such as this...? https://www.brookings.edu/articles/democratic-decline-in-the-united-states-strategic-manipulation-of-elections/ In the US, those in power will do anything to stay in power. This is the same in China. Democracy is a threat to those who hold power in BOTH the US and in China. Everybody knows this... Nobody gets elected to a top office in the US without following a path through either one of two powerful parties. This is NOT democracy. Democracy in the US is crippled and broken. Everybody knows this. At least, there is still such a thing as free speech, but... Do Americans actually USE free speech in order to make positive change? No, they do not. Instead, they talk about non-issues such as religious freedom, abortion, gay rights, etc. These are issues that can be debated AFTER America achieves a more democratic political system. At the moment, America is not free, but just slightly freer than living under XI....

The point is that both Dems and Republicans, and I mean those running for office, would prefer to manipulate the elections in the US, rather than to actually represent the majority of the voters. There are many ways to manipulate US elections. One way is just to ensure that there are limited numbers of candidates, and that all candidates have been vetted by those with party power. This is the same thing that happens in other countries, such as China. There are many such ways, including gerrymandering, and other ways of engineering an edge, at the expensive of "the will of the People"...

Too much information. We do not need, nor do we wish to know, that some US presidents may or may not wear diapers. Personally, I find the subject not fit for polite dinner conversation, and distasteful. If we make the choice to go down this path, to wonder which of our presidents are wearing diapers, then how can this curiosity be satisfied and verified, one way or another? Also, concerning the incontinence issue, we obviously have BOTH parties to blame..... Because, otherwise, who was it that coughed up both Trump, Biden, and now Harris, as our only potential choices for the election of 2024. Where is JFK when we need him???!!! I would much rather discuss JFK's bad back, than to speculate about what might be in Trump's diaper, if he even wears one. There are some Topics that are just too.... Too much. Too much information, for most of us, especially in this strange year of 2024.

Yes. This is what I chose to do. The import tax was out of sight. I will not pay money for nothing. Money for Nothing? Kicks for Free?

Time will tell who will be the next US Prez. Meanwhile, Harris was anointed and appointed to be the Democrats' candidate. However, this was done in both an opaque and non-democratic process. There was no open-convention offered to the vast majority of voters. Instead, Harris was chosen by a very small group which probably does not represent the majority of registered Democrats in the USA. And, what about Biden? Obviously, he has disrupted a fair election every bit as much as Trump. Neither the Dems nor the Republicans want, nor will they tolerate, a truly fair and open election. Therefore, I ask you... Will our next Prez truly be the elected president? As to insults, I always loved Tricky Dick. And, do you recall the campaign button: "Nixon's the One", having a button showing a young pregnant woman.... ? Insults are expected from congressmen. American Politics would not be good politics without the insults and backbiting and dishonesty and lying. Not sure where you are from, though...
