Sorry, but.... It seems that, after many years in CM, my alveoli have been almost completely filled up with smoke. No room for much more, I am afraid. As you can plainly see here. My suggestion is for you and your friends to take my place, and BREATHE, if we are ever to filter out all this glop from the CM air. Let's all work together. Our lungs are, truly, almost as good, or even better, than a HEPA filter....as you know, by now.... Breathe! Breathe!

Trump’s mad, mad, mad, mad world—now with extra madness

“I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do” (Romans 7:15). ========================== In addition: I was not incorrect. As we can see, today, here in CM, the mountains are becoming evermore invisible, starting yesterday, when I posted this Topic. I just report it as I see it, or as I do not see it, meaning the mountains. Did you think I was joking?

Is moving to Cambodia really the end of the line?
GammaGlobulin replied to Elvis Presley's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I think you reckon wrong. Here is the end of the line: Someplace like Ethiopia...AND, being the last man in a line of camels...transporting salt. The true end of the line. Cambodia is NOT the end of the line, as you put it.... Just try living and working in "Lake" Karum.... Or, try swimming there. Cambodia has lakes where one can float. So, what is your beef with Cambodia??? CAMBODIA...END OF THE LINE..... End of the world, is more like it.... -
Dear Folks, At one time or another, most of us, by the time we die, will have visited a proctologist. And the question is: WHY do you think a young-and-budding doc might choose the Proctology Residency versus some other specialty, say…something like …almost anything else? For one thing, proctology potentially causes patients pain. Therefore, proctology might be almost the same as dentistry, in this respect. Also, by its very nature, a doc must look at bums all day, which cannot be that uplifting. The only less-uplifting specialty one might imagine, probably, is Psychiatry. In addition, why is it that proctologists are mostly male? Does a proctologist require physical strength, similar to an orthopedic surgeon, for example? Have you ever visited the office of a Proctologist? And, did you find that the medical procedures he/she performed on you require masculine strength? Of course, there must be an allure, or the typical proctologist would never have become proctologist. On the other hand, have you ever thought of a world without proctologists? Such a world would not be a very nice world, would it….? Finally, one might think that, if one were compelled to visit a proctologist for health reasons, then would it not be best to have one of the opposite sex? Would this not be your preference? I have never visited a proctologist in Thailand, or in Asia. Yet, I suspect that the Asian proctological experience might be better….due to a bit less embarrassment. Personally, I will never, again, visit one if male. However, if female, then I would only do so as the very last resort. Or, it might be better for me to die first. This is a Topic that most people think about, yet do not talk about enough. Best regards, Gamma Note: May colorectal health be with you. And, never fear the proctoscope. The proctoscope is your friend, when required for health reasons. Note2: Last time I visited a proctologist was when I was in my teens. I will never repeat this experience in this life. Some may not find it so traumatising. But I did, perhaps due to my youth, or the fact that my first proctologist was male. I really do not know. OPTIMISTIC NOTE: While still male-DOMINATED.....things are fortunately changing for the better.... If female proctologists are able to DOMINATE this field, in due course, then this will be a good thing. Sock it to me Baby...!!!!

Dear Folks, This evening… The first truly-STRONG whiff of smoke…. Every year, we mark the passing of each year by the first smell of smoke. The first RUSH of smoke in CM is like the aroma of autumn leaves burning… Back home. Such wonderful nostalgia. There is no black cloud without a silver lining. And, if one is honest, the first smell of smoke evokes ambivalent feelings… Some wonderful. Some not so wonderful. But this is life, and this is unavoidable. It's like....The Good Earth.... Life is what you make of it. And we should choose to EMBRACE the smoke, rather than run from it, for… The smoke can never be run from. All we know is that THIS EVENING is our first evening when the smell of smoke is so pronounced that it is undeniable. And so, we now know that another year has passed us by, and that… We will be passing through the next four months… Coughing and Wheezing, more or less. I hope that you have taken sensible measures to remediate/compensate for personal damage due to overly-smoky air. For example: a. Seal up windows. b. Board up windows where practicable. c. Buy air purifiers, and keep them running 24/7. d. Buy respirators and get outdoors and exercise to your heart's content. e. Getting out in the smoky air with an expensive respirator is healthy for both body and mind. Sometimes, when out exercising in the smoke, and when one cannot even see the blasting aircraft overhead, when one is wearing an effective respirator, this provides such a feeling of POWER and CONTROL over whatever is thrown one’s way…so very uplifting and thrilling, too. There is much to be said for maintaining the proper attitude during the Smoking Season… 1. Never complain. Complaining is not helpful. 2. Always maintain a stiff upper lip, and keep lips covered by an N95 mask, at all times. It shall pass, except we just hope it will not pass…too quickly. Instead, we should learn to appreciate all things in life, just to affirm that we are truly alive. This evening really is, IMHO, the start of the Smoking Season…and so… Let it rip! We are prepared. Or, we should be prepared. Are you prepared? Best…cough… Regards, Gamma Note: Still, we are lucky. This cannot be as bad as the Sinking of Atlantis....or the Burning of Atlanta....

I am sure that I would agree with your comment... But, I'm not entirely sure what it means. I do agree that I don't like to depend upon AI for any writing because it's more trouble than it's worth. An, are we so lazy that we cannot just write our comments/Topics ourselves? Makes no sense how one could even BE this lazy. -
Are high end smartphones worth the money (to you)?
GammaGlobulin replied to impulse's topic in Mobile Devices and Apps
Not.."anyone". Only those who do not know how to use computers, or never did use one properly. Just try posting a Topic using a smartphone....IMPOSSIBLE...really! Also, try doing a search for some academic Topic...IMPOSSIBLE with a tiny screen, no matter how fast the phone. Maybe, though, the tiny screen is still adequate for viewing PORN.... On the go. But, I don't know. -

No NEED to unplug. Android 14 has this function....by which it....automatically.... Stops charging at 80% of full battery. I could never remember to unplug or plug...just on my own...at exactly 80%. So many years since I was called upon to do plugging and unplugging...by myself... It seems. -

GammaGlobulin replied to Elvis Presley's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Is it not now true that almost... EVERYTHING around here comes from... Artificial Intelligence models...meaning LLMs? I think the postings of LLM content on TV could be improved if....only...posters here would...use..... DeepSeek, the SUPERIOR Chinese LLM. I will never use an LLM to post content, because.... Why should I? What's in it for ME? -

GammaGlobulin replied to impulse's topic in Mobile Devices and Apps
You are..... CORRECT, once again. I bought one in June. Great phone. 256GB internal storage 12GB RAM 2-slots for SIM or for Micro SD card Android 14 with 5-years of updates to OS... What could be finer? For the money? BUT, BUTT.... The only color I would touch, and did buy, was Awesome Navy Blue. Good for hiding in the dark, at night. -
