  1. Seriously? (This I cannot say for sure. However, when I purchased the Electrolux 56 Liter oven, two girls that I know did not have a clue what it was used for. They were afraid to turn the heat up to 250 degrees C, with nothing in it, and feared the oven might get too hot. So, yes, it might be true that most people here do not have experience with electric ovens, other than microwave ovens. But, they do know how to cook chicken on the grill, by the side of the road....And in this they are EXPERTS.!!!)
  2. I beg to differ: a. I found the NC-60301 at a deep discount. So, I will buy at this price. The reason I found this oven is DUE TO THE FACT that the OP posted this Topic. This caused me to do a search to find what is available in Thailand, CHEAP. And, I found the item I will buy today, at the store, and not online. So, NOT Garbage Out, on this point. b. I stated that I would get one of those Halogen ovens, the type with the large glass bowl. I used these in Taiwan for many years. The problem is that the heating mechanisms used to "burn out" after a year of heavy use. But, this is OK with me now...because.... I am relatively WEALTHY now, and I can afford to throw my money around on a Bt.1000 oven these days. In past decades, in Taiwan, this same Bt.1000 oven would cost over double. And, at the time, I thought it was not worth that much. So, on this point, I know you will agree that this is NOT ...... GARBAGE Out... c. I like to cook 54 chicken-breast halves ALL AT ONE GO. This saves on heating up the kitchen more than once per month. I have previously explained my logic in prior posted comments and Topics. This also saves Energy and reduces my contribution to Global Warming. So, on this point...NOT....GARBAGE Out.....!!!! No harm done, though. I understand how you might have misunderstood my logic... Many people do. People on TV, some of them, say I am weird. I agree. But... The question is.... Am I not only weird, but garbage, TOO???? No. I am DUST. Specifically....STARDUST. And... So are you. Here is the PROOF of this statement, and NOT...GARBAGE, by any means....: STARDUST! NOT Garbage!
  3. Right. HANGOVER Good Thinking. Hardly... Gone With The Wind Where is Rhett Butler when we need him? All in today's world has become..... GARBAGE! We are in our last days, THE FINAL COUNTDOWN....
  4. I might buy the NC-60301, later today.... https://www.nescooutlet.com/17266626/เตาอบ-70-ลิตร-รุ่น-nc-60301-สินค้าใหม่กล่องชำรุด Shop around on the Internet to find a BETTER PRICE !!! I do not expect much. Seems that all cheap ovens are from OEM supplier in China, and basically GARBAGE compared to what's on offer at Amazon in the USA, at lower prices than... "Thailand prices for GARBAGE Goods". Just go on the AMAZON site, and look at what is on offer !!! However, I guess that an OVEN is considered a LUXURY item, here, and in places like Taiwan 20 years ago. Yes...REAL LUXURY Garbage!!!! Still, I will continue to pay garbage prices for garbage while here, which is to say, maybe,,,the rest of my natural born days. As they say in Academia: Garbage In, Garbage Out.... And, they can scatter my garbage ashes where ever they choose.... This world is coming to an end under the weight of all this garbage... See you in Garbage Heaven.....too! CHOK DI !!!!
  5. What is missing here is the GEEK's view, with analysis: And, along with the GEEK's view, over 5,400 comments are shared here, from around the world, after 285,000 views in less than 16 hours. One of the comments reads: "Why would you let a kid participate in the ceremony, and have a dancer, dancing around with his ball$ in the air? It was gross!" Yes, and I must agree with this comment. But was this travesty about any kind of supper? Or, was this entire fiasco about something else? Maybe....watch the video, and find out what a GEEK Analyst finds under the table. The bearded blue guy with the tossed fruit salad on his head seems weird to me. In fact, the entire crew seems like a bunch of misfits. But I do not think this is the GEEK's view..... Hard to say, really.
  6. It's just more utter nonsense... Similar to the Dining Scene at the French Olympics.
  7. Yes, but.. Do you see that Old Farang in the Cargo Shorts? So, this is a very accurate depiction. Most Farang tourists DO look this slovenly. Apple got this part...RIGHT!
  8. I used these a Looooonnnnnng time ago in Taiwan. Yes, they do work very well. I think I will buy one at PowerBuy. Using this, I will be able to cook two chicken breasts with less mess than the much larger Electrolux 45L counter-top oven. And, much less stink, too. Seems to me that most of this garbage is made by OEMs.... So, one's strategy should be to just buy the cheapest crud that you can find... And then just chuck it when it soon konks out...as inevitably.... I will. I am through buying ANYTHING BUT the cheapest garbage I can find. For example, this TEFAL model looks identical to the Electrolux which I paid about 7000 for, two years ago.. As long as you got enough wattage, then what can go wrong?
  9. All good things come in twelves, it seems. Except for my omelet works of art, which come in fives. I like Greek Mythology. When I was very young, I was forced to read The Iliad. Then, they forced me to read The Odyssey. I read the Iliad first. First they forced me to read it in English. Next, they forced me to read the Ilias in Latin, or some such language. I would have gladly read it in English without any encouragement. A great book... Inside, it looks a little bit like Thai Script. I do not know where my copy lies, these days... Maybe at the bottom of the sea. Tomorrow, I will download a ePUB copy and read it on my Calibre (opensource) ebook reader: Now that France has Trashed Greek Culture... What with some guy's junk hanging out.... I really feel in the mood... For a shot of Homer. When I enjoy great art, I feel great. When I watch slovenly pigs at table, I feel dirty, somehow. What do they say in France....?... "vive la différence"? or "What Happens in Paris, stays in Paris" !!! ==== Note: If you are going to read this stuff. Might I suggest this, by Lattimore.... Always good to begin with a good translation. I will look for a free version, of course, which I will download and read on CALIBRE software, the free and best eBOOK reader on this planet.....bar none.
  10. Bring it On! Having been antiwar my entire life, wars have increased. I am switching to being Pro-War. I am tired of being in the minority, all the time.
  11. This is a Sign of Our Times. First we had the tea party; Then we had the carpetbaggers; Next we had the tea baggers; And now, we have this underwear slip? This is why I rarely leave my home in Thailand. Thailand is NOT like this, at least where I live. I fit in here because all my neighbors are polite, and thoughtful of others. We care about preserving our harmonious way of life. Our "globalized" world is now losing all redeeming qualities, if it ever had any, which I sorely doubt. Thankfully, unless I turn on my computer, the outside-, woebegone-world rarely intrudes upon our village.
  12. Since the age of 11, when I hit puberty, and when I began developing secondary sex characteristics, I have felt a passionate hatred for all things related to the World Games, ie The Olympics. The Olympics always seemed so pointless to me, sort of like masturbation without reproduction. This is why I had no idea, until I read this thread on TV, that there had even BEEN a Paris Olympics, much less an Opening Ceremony. I could not care less, unless said World Games are held in China, just because I am sort of interested in the Politics of China. If the Olympic Wrestlers in Paris slather themselves with Olive Oil, and slide around, all hot and sweaty, on the leather mats, then this is fine with me... Just please do not tell me about it. Anyone who truly cares about Sport, and Sporting Events, would not care a twit about the organized World Olympics. I like to watch rowing. But, I would never watch rowing events at the Olympics. If I had my way, all nations would be banned from the Olympics, except for the ancient Grecians, and their urns filled with oils. So I leave you with this parting thought: So, I bid thee all.... Adieu, I say!
  13. Actually, although I have no personal experience with what you describe, I recall a CMU-prof-friend of mine often complaining about the terrible state of schools in Thailand. He spent much of his life doing what he could, including opening a small school himself. I searched the net for images of south Surin, and it seems a beautiful area. Perhaps the people living in the area, some of them, feel not need to read. I could not live there, but it might be nice for a short visit. The alien world of the illiterate is not the place I want to be.
  14. All that I can tell you is that I would FAR prefer to dine with Quayle, rather than that Tossed Salad Woman! IMHO, she is the one who should be roasted.
  15. Very unfortunately, the Number 5, copied above, is a very poor copy, and too blurry to do justice to this work of art. Here is a better copy. Also, concerning Number 5, nobody seems to know who the owner actually is. Some guy in Mexico says he is not the owner. But, the thing that bugs me most is that it is so difficult to find and view great masterpieces, these days. The Internet is no longer free. And we, as a global culture, no longer have access to our culture. Instead, our culture is now under lock and key, and held hostage by a few super-rich psychopathic rat-bostards! Thith ith Dithpicable! This is not my favorite Pollock, by far; it's just the most expensive Pollock, so far. (Also, it seems that this is actually, itself, just a copy done by Pollock, in order to replace the damaged original. Very weird, when you come to think about it.....)
  16. The Koreans LOVE to wave those tiny flags of Korea, wherever they go. Therefore, how could anyone have confused them for anyone else. I detest flag wavers, though....so....if the announcer got them mixed up with their brothers to the north, then... No harm done.
  17. Just curious. Is the illiteracy rate that high in Thailand?
  18. Can I interest you in a Number 5? Or, what about a Or, I have it.... A Kandinsky !!! Each one of the above is a MASTERPIECE. And, you don't need to have studied art to appreciate their magnificence. I know beauty when I see it. JS Bach, for example. Beauty in both paintings and music is easy to spot. You can keep your.... Felt.
  19. Could be half and half, but... She is ALL Amazon! From the Greek: Amazōn (This is the Olympics, after all....)
  20. 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.....
  21. 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.
  22. 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).
  23. 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....
  24. Groucho talked truth to power, always. Nobody and nothing was too powerful for The Marx Brothers. They were New Yorkers, after all......
