  1. Dear Folks, aa. Why am I so handsome? Was I just born this way? bb. How handsome are you? (On a scale of One to Ten) cc. Handsome men always have it better in life. And, therefore, I hope you are almost as handsome as I. dd. Anyone here who wishes to upload their handsome puss, for all to see....then please feel free.....! Do you even dare to do so on TV? ee. I would upload my puss, if I were not worried that it might be so handsome...that....it might.... Break TV. ff. So, then....just how handsome are you? gg. Do you need a Nose-Job, for example? Best regards, Gamma Note: Thank the gods for TV! Because, if it were not for TV, then I might be Six-feet Under, by now..... Thank the gods for TV. Guys here in Thailand, should be GRATEFUL! I do not care about anyone OUTSIDE Thailand.....! Note2: Wow....! I just hit 9.5K. Can't believe it, really. It's taken me a LOOOONG time to get this far.....believe me! Thanks guys, for all your support!!!!! Note3: In fact....it's making all my windows fog up, with condensation, and EMOTION, as I speak; I am just so very touched by my readership.....you would not believe....! Have a Good One !!!!!
  2. You can be the THIRD, IMHO.... But, I would not wish to lose you from this glorious forum by having you repeat this stunt.... I care THAT much about you, Stoner! You are NOT half-bad....IMHO.
  3. Yes, but, as far as I know, this does not involve just verbs. Chomsky is not speaking of something as superficial at verb tenses, or grammar in the way grammar is commonly perceived. It's deeper than that, as I guess you know. https://www.structural-learning.com/post/chomskys-theory#:~:text=Chomsky's Universal Grammar theory suggests,innate grammatical structures and rules. It's about an evolved internal language learning ability, and not necessarily about spoken language. But, as I stated just now, I am sure that you already know this, from your comment. I am not debating this issue here, and only commenting about one aspect. I am not saying that language evolved first through an "internal" conversation before spoken language became possible, as I think Chomsky proposes. Still, it remains an interesting question concerning how human language ability evolved. Not debating various theories here. And, I am not sure that I would agree with Chomsky's beliefs in this. Anyway, there is probably no way to prove one theory to be more valid than another.... Interesting to think about, though.
  4. When he talks of an underlying grammar, he does not mean the grammatical constructions particular to any given language such as Thai, or Japanese, English or Russian, of course. He is talking about a different underlying grammar that is not learned but common to all human language....
  5. So then. Why do you think I have been celibate for the past many years? Most girls are unable to fully appreciate 18-degree sleeping weather. Why doctors say 18 degrees is the best for sleeping, I really cannot say. However, for sure, for writing on TV, 20 degrees C seems best for me.
  6. The condensation here begins 3 hours before sundown, and lasts until a few hours after sunrise. Note: I try to get my rooms down to about 18 degrees C, or lower, before I go to sleep. I am following my doctor's orders, in this case. Note2: In truth, too few of us take the trouble to lower the ambient temperature in our bedroom, before we go to sleep. And then, for some strange reason, we wonder why we sometimes do not sleep well. Note3: I have many Chinese friends. And, one of my Chinese friends has told me that when he is willing to spend the money to lower his bedroom temperature to 18 or below, then he sleeps wonderfully, just as he once did before he left the mountains in the province of Sichuan. Ever since he mentioned this to me, I have tried to keep my bedroom temp at about 19 degrees C. However, I plan to go even lower in the near future!
  7. Concerning Choice of Ambient Temps in my rooms: We must follow this good advice.... I follow this advice.... To the letter! NOTE: I have found that 20 degrees C most suits my intellectual work. And, I assume it's the same for you.
  8. Right. If I installed windscreen wipers on the windows and glass doors of my house....then..... My neighbors would ask me to leave.
  9. My rooms are COLDER than outside, by MANY degrees.... Hence, the condensation on the outside of the glass in every room, obviously.
  10. Can you see this? Can you believe this? Or not?
  11. No. Not small. I have 3 ACs. Total BTU cooling.... 70,000 BTU at max. I do not care whether or not you have ever heard of anything....actually. I just posted a photo of one of my windows. Hopefully, you can believe your eyes. (Sorry. Seems that the photo I uploaded no longer exists. I will try to post again. Not my fault, though....) Here is the image.. Can you see this?
  12. Hope you do not wear out your Tac Switches, too soon.
  13. No. I would rather hire a Punkah Wallah from India, .... Thank you.
  14. You mean the evaporator unit fan? Well, I am referring to the compressor unit fan. And, I have no time to turn on and turn off either the compressor or the evaporator fans just to reduce noise from a defective fan. I will report more later.....when.....I have more info from the company. Tks.
  15. OUTSIDE....of course! Humidity inside is very low, approx 50 percent. Temperature inside is 22 degrees, or lower. Humidity outside is high. Temperature outside is high...of course...since this IS Thailand, as you know. Note: Photo image attached in the OP was captured this morning from one of my windows. All windows/glass-doors look about the same.
  16. First the escalator. And.... Now this..... I will be drinking bottled water, from here on in. I have a good water supplier. My water supplier provides 20-liter bottles of water at extremely low risk.
  17. Hoe? You mean... Hoe-Hoe-Hoe? I haven't gotten one yet.
  18. So.... When you say, "555", is this sort of like, "666" ? I don't get it. I am a complete atheist.
  19. EXACTLY! OS/2! Well said. I loved OS/2. Then, Gates killed it. Windows is the Chevrolet of the computer world. Lowest common denominator.... Except for.... Still, this Chevy was complete garbage compared to...... ERGO: Windows is REALLY nothing but GARBAGE.... LEAP is better than Windows, any old day! NOTE: a. Aston Martin V8 is expensive b. OpenSUSE is free c. Therefore: Why not drive an Aston Martin for free, rather than drive Windows garbage?
  20. Dear Folks, First, we had the Hot Season. And now, we are entering a different Season. Neither is very good, as you can plainly imagine. For one thing, all this condensation on my windows is beginning to bug me, Big Time. In fact, I can hardly even see out, outside, these days. Must I turn off my ACs? Or, is there any way to keep my windows from getting like this, while keeping myself cool inside, and the humidity outside, at bay? Living in Thailand with such high heat one month, and such rain the next month, and then humidity all the time, which causes the outsides of my windows to fog up like an ice-cold beer glass.... I had never had this happen to me in the past. What can be done, if anything? Not sure how much longer I can stand it, being inside this cool box, but not being able to see out. Sort of like living in Taipei during the winter, which I never, ever, liked. Of course, when the sun comes out, then all this condensation evaporates rather quickly. But, during the night and early mornings, and in the evenings, there is no sun. What about installing windows with those heating elements that Volvo used to advertise? Or, do I need to just put in thermoglass, or something? If I could heat up the glass, then the condensation would not occur. Just thinking out loud. Because, I really cannot believe that most homeowners could tolerate all this condensation, every day, and much of the day, for many months. Does this happen to you, too? Regards, Gamma Note: Quite annoying when one's windows get like this, and stay like this, for 80-percent of the 24-hours of the day, and that's all I can say.
  21. Being Naked, Sir, is always best for me. Glad you agree. I came into this world without garb. And, I was happiest, then. These days, Brooks Brothers is wasted on me, though I once wore it.
  22. I wear a towel most days. I don't like wearing clothes. Either a towel or a sarong are both OK for me. It's only the cargo pants that I would never wear.
  23. Take Xanax, fake or otherwise, at you own risk. I would never do such a thing. Still, it's a real MONEYMAKER for those who produce Xanax, fake or otherwise.
  24. It's never two late. It's never too late. It's never to late. Too true!
