Wow...I really cannot believe this: I was just about to reach out to ASUS for help selecting a mainboard for my Intel i5 3600K CPU selection. BUT....then....they asked me for my birthdate on the service-request form. This is a TOTAL turnoff! Talk about INTRUSIVE, Baby! No Way, Jose! They need some COOLING, and Baby, I ain't Foolin'.... No need to ask my info, including my birthdate, my height, or....the length of my long schlong...for that matter, just to ask about compatibility of my CPU.... Weird..... So very Weird.... Baby!!!!!! I will give ASUS every INCH of my Love.....

I like JIB prices and inventory. I dislike JIB sales people. So, basically, it is just about Cost/Benefit for me. I tolerate the JIB sales people while pinching my nose. I will always buy from JIB...under duress, for the above stated reason. Maybe JIB can fix this problem with their sales force?

Raw onions (from local markets) on sandwiches: OK?
GammaGlobulin replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in Western Food in Thailand
I must eat bread. And, I must NOT eat cake. When my bread tastes like cake, I do not touch even a bite of it. I prefer rice. However, rice does not a sandwich make. -

No. it was not the Mayo, that caused my distress, I am quite certain. But, here is an image you, and I, might enjoy... -
Raw onions (from local markets) on sandwiches: OK?
GammaGlobulin replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in Western Food in Thailand
My concern was that the onions might have been grown with questionable fertilizer, is all, mostly. Who knows if anyone is using nigh soil, for example, these days! -
NICE! Looks GREAT! OK, you may be correct. When my fans were failing, most, I was living by the Pacific Ocean in Taiwan, on the East Coast, with typhoons, and the Northeasterly salty winds blowing in, almost constantly for about 9 months out of the year. My GPUs failed regularly, due to fans quitting, or capacitors blowing....after being blown by the salty air. Maybe you are correct that the GPU fans should last a long time, if properly cared for. This, I DNK. Still, for my needs, IF I can do without extra complexity, then this will definitely be my goal. Nice photo... Thank you for sharing....

Does anyone know if it is OK to enjoy raw onions from local markets on sandwiches? Any gastrointestinal hazards in doing so? The other day, I made a tuna sandwich using Mayo and onions purchased at the local market. And, I now cannot say that I am in fine fiddle. Would you use locally grown onions, purchased at the village market, on your sandwiches? I think I may steer clear of doing this, in the future. Would the Earle of Sandwich agree? Tks for any advice. Or, is it just me, and others have no qualms about using raw onions on their sandwhiches? Thank you. Regards, Gamma

OK. My issue is the ===fans=== on the GPUs which fail me. If I could buy a solid-state GPU (no fans), then I would gladly consider a discrete GPU. Also, I do not like the extra noise from the GPU fans... So, it is not that I would not happily buy a discrete GPU...but that it is the fans mounted on the GPUs which really are lousy, IMHO....

Yes. I am beginning to come around to your views. However, I am still using an Intel 2500K CPU, with a stock cooler. And, I must admit, that this CPU is not considered extremely low power compared to the newest i5 Intel offerings... Tks! Still... One might guess that there must be a good reason for Intel to offer integrated graphics on this K-rated CPU. Not sure why, if Intel intended this CPU to be used, in some cases, without a discrete GPU...

In fact, for anyone to entertain the illusion that, if the US allows Israel to remain in its present location, there will be any chance for peace in the region...is just completely ludicrous. I have been watching this situation during the past 60-plus years. Nothing has changed. And, nothing will change until the State of Israel is moved. The only question is: Where do we move it.

IF purchasing the i5-3600K CPU, then...I will choose this CPU Cooler. Hopefully, it will be in stock somewhere in Thailand. This CPU is made in Taiwan, which I prefer. The only alternative would be to not buy this CPU, and choose some CPU from Intel with a stock CPU cooler already provided in the box. The downside to choosing a non-stock CPU cooler for the Intel CPU is that, from past experience, the third-party coolers bomb out after awhile. And, I have never had a stock Intel cooler fail, even after 10 years of use.

While Living in Thailand, how do you "Make Merit"?

Handsome couple, we all must admit. -

If you are sure... I am DOUBLY sure! This is the Chi-Com-Bandit Way! -

Actually, I do recall your comment about this, and I was suitably impressed by your idea of the Santa suit. -

GammaGlobulin replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Making Merit is an integral feature of the culture in Thailand. Happy to hear that you are in step with this custom/tradition. Note: Not a bad Topic for a Saturday/Sunday, a time for reflection. -

GammaGlobulin replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Still, in all seriousness, allowing others to see one's good deeds while in Thailand is a good thing. Not only in Thailand, but also in Japan. In order to become an accepted member of village life in Japan, it is necessary to do good deeds for the village community. There is nothing wrong with this, and a lot right with this, I believe.... -

Really: I actually want one of those Stair Steppers...which...I think....might cost me Bt.50000.00, and not Bt.5000.00. If anyone wants to gift me one, then just say the word. -
Just curious concerning the various ways members here Make Merit while living in Thailand? What is your favorite way to Make Merit? Making Merit is crucial to a happy life in Thailand, not to mention our hopes to live a happy life in the next life? Regards, Gamma Note: I realize that many here do Make Merit, and I want to know the best ways. (Please note: The question marks in the Topic are typos. I will replace my defective keyboard, very soon. But, I will not purchase on Lazada.)

So then... I am not the only one. I have had 5000 Baht on Lazada for over two years...and just too exasperated by the ridiculous rules and hoops to jump through to use it. So, I plan to not buy on this site unless I must. -

They told me. They do what the AI software tells them to do. They have no authority to step outside the directives of the AI. This is obvious, or should be, to anyone. -

I ONLY use Cash Payment on Delivery. When I return a product, I get a credit. And, to get this credit, I must agree to have the credit go the Lazada wallet. This is not a good system. I MUST use the mobile app to get the option to use the credits in the wallet to pay for new orders. This is the way it is. Read this and weep, Sir. -

Not exactly. Policy is still decided by AI, and the humans just report what they are told to do by the AI which runs the platform. No humans are really involved. This is the same AI software that controls social media and social reward system in China, presumably.
