I advise the people I meet to spend less time peering at the mirror. I do NOT score so very high on the narcissism scale that I would think of questions like this... Note: You might also try switching to a NORMAL lens, and I am speaking photographically here.

It has become excellent at pronunciation, these days, including pronunciations in various parts of the world. For American English, the T is NOT pronounced on Google Translate. The reason is frequency of pronunciations. And, some dictionaries show that the T-less pronunciation is much more frequently used by refined speakers in the USA. I have no idea what they do in the UK. And, I presume that the UK is becoming more like Singapore, these days.

If one is in my predicament, then I would suggest buying the SAME model of Samsung that I purchased, and have been satisfied with, for several months. The 16 Kg capacity is fine, but I would not go lower, but only up, up, and away. I think they offer an 18KG model, and I should have chosen that one, because larger capacity is always better for me. But, I was afraid it might turn out to be overkill. So, just buy the one I purchased, but make sure you do not need separate hot hose for water. The machine has no pump to expel water, but I can do without that. Inverter motor driving a beltles tub. Very quiet. So, I just need the basic stuff, with not much more. I like Top loading, because I believe they might require less maintenance. It is only a very basic low cost washing machine that washes clothes, and not much more. Always listen to the Rolling Stones when you want to feel happy, or when in the mood to wash. The band just gets better with age, and the band has produced a TON of music.

May I suggest Gordon's new book, just recently hot on the shelves....

Correct. When I see China, I see RED.

You mean....Little Bush? 小布希?

Lisa Fischer is amazing... In fact... She stole the show...away from Mick....no doubt..... Although, Mick did do a great impression of Ian Anderson.....must admit.... And, looks like Lisa is wearing a NUT-BROWN something or other.... Probably just BROWN-SUGAR...

If you mean that I do not see the world, or anything, as either black or white, then... I agree with you.

She is WONDERFUL. Amazing. Who here ever said otherwise. Probably one of the most underrated performers of all time.

Tina did. And, this is one of her best and most explosive performances of all time....

She had it, for sure.... And, she still had it here, in 1985..... AND here....

Dear Folks, Whatever happened to the Tina we once loved? Did she try to push the envelope so hard that she became a caricature of her good self? Has great music become less music and more show for those who do not really care that much about music? Tina once had Taste. But, now? How did she fall prey to whatever she fell prey to.....? PTSD....maybe? Just wondering.... Regards,.... Note: For just one comparison....here is a MUCH more TASTEFUL Tina..... Oh, wait....she was not so tasteful in this one, either.... Note: BUT, We remember when she was .....GREAT......

1. a very select few who listen to JS Bach, all the time 2. Seldom do I feel the need to wear clothes. Bedclothes I cannot do without. 100-percent cotton, and no exceptions. 3. What is your budget. If you want very low cost, and reliable, then buy the machine I purchased. It's good for the money.... Price Tag Not Maytag

Dear Folks, I wish to provide an update, if you do not mind.... a. As some of you might know, I purchased a Samsung TOP-LOADER which was on sale for an extremely reasonable price. b. I have used this 16-Kg washing machine for several months. c. I am EXTREMELY PLEASED with it. d. I think that you really cannot beat it....FOR THE MONEY. e. The machine I purchased is very quiet, and it does its job quite well. f. Sometimes, I load it with 16 Kgs of all sorts of clothes and sheets, all added at random. g. In the past, using the coin-operated Samsung machines I had used at guest houses, all of which were coin-operated machines, I developed a justifiably bad opinion. h. However, it would be truly unfair of me to not report that I have modified my opinion....now...based upon my good experience with the self-owned Samsung machine which I purchased. i. This Samsung machine is extremely low priced. But, still, it does a good job at what it was engineered to do. j. I would be very willing to recommend this same Samsung to anyone, especially my friends. And, especially cost-conscious friends of mine. k. Here are some of the things that this machine does right.... 1. I can load this machine with 16 Kgs of clothes, and it handles this load quite well. 2. Extremely quiet, which is a big plus. 3. There are plenty of digital settings for all washing situations. 4. This cheap machine is still direct-drive, meaning NO belts to wear out. 5. The top lid of the machine is transparent. And, I like this, because I find it relaxing to watch the clothes churn back and forth. 6. The machine, itself, is aesthetically designed in a more neutral way to fit any home laundry room. The machine I bought is a very nice subtle color of greenish gray, with dark gray panel, and red indicator lighrts. 7. So far, I have NOT experienced even one negative experience with this machine, something very rare for me. 8. Here is the machine that I purchased, which is super cheap....SUPER CHEAP...IMHO.... 9. I cannot say whether or not this type of machine might be right for your wife...but....so far: This machine is right for me. 10. Thank the gods I will never, again, be forced to use a coin-operated machine. This Samsung...if only for me....seems to be one of the best products I have purchased, this past decade. 11. Note: I only report the facts, and nothing but the facts, Folks. And, I try to do this without undue bias..... 12. For me, so far, this machine has been....A Winner. ============================== Also, anytime I get close to this machine, even when I am not especially in the MOOD to do washing...... She calls out to me.....and says....... START ME UP! I love you...... ============ This machine, at least for me, joking aside, has been a very good deal. Just reporting the facts, and nothing but the facts..... START ME UP.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ========== This machine will outlive me...but..... IF I lived to 100, then.... I would buy it AGAIN.....!!!!!!!!! Seriously LOW cost for the value.... Darn Right !!!!! Made a grown man cry..... =============== NOTE: One thing that might have made a difference for me in my washing experience, compared to the Guest-House machines.... When I wash clothes, I turn EVERYTHING UP TO MAXIMUM on this machine.... a. Water level TOPS b. Washing time...TOPS...30 minutes... c. Spin time....MAXIMUM....a long time.... d. Rinse cycles, I like 3 rinse cycles.... So....you cannot make these selections on coin-operated machines. And, I LOVE to use a LOT of water. Detergent? I also use a LOT...... I care less about saving the environment than I do about getting my clothes Spic and Span....

Methane is a very potent greenhouse gas. Lock him up. And, then.... CORK him up, too.

And, like an old soldier....he will just fade away? Never get into a ground war with China. This is why we need more DRONES..... We can take China. But, the American people must UNITE against our common threat. China is even more dangerous to democracy than it ever was. China has used us, and our resources, which they have sucked in, in order to promote COMMUNISM in the style of Xi.... In an entirely new way which just might spell the end of humanity... And soon. Please do not underestimate the dastardliness of the UnClean Commie mind of XiJinPing.... No. Never. Note: By the way..... The Thought of XiJinPing....or XiJinPing Thought was NEVER written by him...because....he had to rely on a ghost writer. Xi is a dunce, as we all know. He must be ridden out on a rail, by the People, and the sooner the better, if they wish to improve their country and their well-being. This fate would be FAR TOO GOOD for the likes of this bounder, XI. He deserves much worse. And, he stole BILLIONS from his own people. The guy's a true menace. Note: I guess I will not be returning to China, any time soon....haha....F XI....BIG TIME....!!!! I listen to music like this in order to help me to survive the knowledge that people like Xi actually exist in this world..... EVIL men do exist. Make no mistake about this....!!!!!

In order to elevate Thailand to the level of Japan, then one would need to allow immigration from Japan to Thailand. The only problem with this might be that Japan's population is severely dwindling, by the year. The Japanese men are unwilling or unable to procreate enough in their own country to keep their population viable. Maybe we should send Thai men to Japan in order to impregnate Japanese women, in order to increase the population of Japan enough so that.... Finally, the newly born Japanese could return to Thailand, in order to ELEVATE things around here. Just a strange thought, in response to a very strange Topic.

I use this mug for my tea, every morning....

Your thinking is COMPLETE Garbage: a. For one thing, please do tell... How many years have you lived in China? b. You seem to know very little about living under an authoritarian state. c. Go to China, and live there....and...... PLEASE....do NOT come back. CommieChina is probably the very best place for you to get the education of which you seem to be in dire need. I just love to hear know-nothings spout off about things that show their true ignorance. If you were a TRUE China Ham, which you are not, obviously, then you would not be singing such a very illogical tune. We have already heard too much of your thinking, since the early 1980s...and.....most of us knew back then what was what. How truly ignorant your arguments seem to me. PATHETIC is the word for these.... And, I very rarely use this word, pathetic, but, in this case, pathetic is finally warranted. Enjoy your ignorance, my friend, until the day you finally wise up, and by which time.... It will be far too late for the world. Such ignorance is only seen by those who have not lived in China for many, many years. Become an Old China Ham, if you wish, just in case you are willing to spend the time. But, DO YOU have the PERSPICACITY to EVEN qualify???? I KNOW that you do NOT.... very sorry for being so blunt, but.... Call a spade a spade, is what my mother always taught me....

According to which "reportage"? I am speaking French now. The Chinese, including ZhouEnLai, have always loved the French, and French diplomacy. But, the French know nothing about handling Great Power, these days. Do you have a link to the reportage that you refer to? If you do, then maybe some of us can evaluate whether it seems analytically sound. Our (the entire world's) biggest error was in inviting China to join the WTO without stringent restrictions. Another error was relying on China to be the worlds single supplier, without diversification. It is time to stop China from using its trade with the world to fund its military so that it can dream about such things as invading Taiwan. China is a PARIAH on the world stage. The USA is all about DEMOCRACY and caring for weaker countries, in order to help the weaker countries to quickly boost their economies and... Thereby become RICH.... This is according to the reportage that I have been familiar with during the past six decades. Do you have a link to the reportage that you mention in this Topic?

Outcomes from COVID can be influenced by the exposure, dosage of virus. As far as I know. But, apparently, I do not know EVERYTHING.

Light from stars can be distorted due to the turbulence of the atmosphere. This is why modern telescopes use lasers to assist in correcting for distortion. I love science. And, you should, too. Science does not lie. Science is just a search for truth about reality, based on the best tools available.

Time, once again, obviously, to take up the White Man's Burden. Will our sacrifice and good will be tested once again?
