Would you say that this VIDEO provides a SKEWED view of the topic it covers? I am not saying that we should keep women down on the farm. Actually, at the time this was released, I was very impressed with this portrayal. Seems to me that women-womanhood in the USA these days can be somewhat described as a square peg in a round hole, in general. Why this is....I have not thought much about the question. I have zero interaction with the American Woman in Asia. Also, perhaps it is the very fact that I have NOT been living in the USA for so many years that helps me to recognize important differences between what things were like 50 years ago, and what they have become, today, or during the past two decades. Perhaps the radical change that I observe and have observed is a result of how women have been portrayed on popular television shows and films, or maybe this is the result of a concerted effort to change women to fit Women's Lib values of the 1960s, 1970s, and maybe it's a result of just too much bra-burning.

No, but I would prefer that she quickly grow up and grow into her job. As I say, maybe she is just suffering temporary Impostor Syndrome. Underneath the veneer, she may be quaking in her boots, and maybe she will calm down.

I recall Subway sandwiches. When was the moment I first ordered one, I do not know. I just knew at the time that they were overpriced for what you got. Still, they were decent sandwiches at Subway, at least in the USA they were. I would not complain about much but their price. How much of income went to the Franchise and how much was retained by the owner of the shop, the one that did all the work, I do not know. Subway sandwiches could never compare with those made by Hymies's Delicatessen, for sure. But, the Subway sandwiches are probably better than the 7-sandwitches....

Dear Folks, Am I wrong or is the New American Suffragette even more insufferable than at any time in American history? Why is this? Why I say….!!!! Also, the new American female news “reporter”: Why do they HOUND us, instead of trying to just be HUMAN, and engage in meaningful social intercourse, for a change? (This is what happens when a perfectly nice Chinese girl from XiaMen moves to the USA at age 2. She turns into a hound, seemingly. In China, she would have grown and become a REAL woman, instead. But, in the USA, after growing up there, she turned into THIS!!!!) Yes, the new American female seems to HOUND instead of REPORT. Especially in recent news conferences with my friend Trump, they don’t even wait for an answer. Instead, they just Talk, Talk, TALK, instead of listen. Don’t they even want an answer to their questions? Seems that they do not. This is why I don’t want no American Woman in my life. Maybe what Trump and others, and even we, need is some sort of GONG we can use when interacting with them?...just to stop them from foaming at the mouth, or something. Strident is not the word for it. What we need is a NEW word to describe the new American Woman. Not sure what it might be… But, this phenomenon is not limited to just female American reporters, as you probably already know. Some new word we can add to our lexicon, is what we need. Thank goodness I moved to Asia over 45 years ago. And now, at least to me, the difference between the American Woman of the 1970s and the 2020s is like Night and Day. Where will this all end? Will these girls begin to just…. Explode on camera when they finally blow a gasket? Blow a gasket? That’s a phrase I will not soon forget. How do you guys who still live part-time in the USA tolerate this? Same in the UK? Bewildered, and, girls, PLEASE…. Keep your voices down, Gamma Note: American Woman, stay away from me, please… Stay away, please.....!!!

Everybody knows that many Thai people hide from the Sun. They wear winter coats with hoods in the hottest times of the year, for example. Also, this may be one reason why many Thai people test low for serum vitamin D levels. Supplementation and testing is recommended. They hide from the Sun!!!

EXACTLY the words that I was looking for, which best describe Shirley, at this time in her young life. ARROGANT AND NERVOUS, to a T.....!!!! This is why I cannot stand her. I believe that Trump chose her because she is less competent, and so that Trump, himself, can do most of the Talking. I am sure of it.

EXACTLY....!!!!! Also, why are these "Bloody farangs" calling each other MATE? Are they both sailors, or something? This is why I rarely leave my compound when there is news of Farangs about. Some Farang are former policemen. Still, just from the Topic description, it is clear that this Farang was raising his voice when not necessary, and probably being impatient with the clerk, .... something which is actually inexcusable, IMHO. Unfortunately, it's not impossible to lose one's equanimity in all this heat. And sometimes we do become unintentionally impatient unless we learn how to COOL IT, and count to about 100, before saying things in a tone that we will later regret. I don't like policemen, because the intervention by such Farang police can quickly escalate, and sometimes to murder, which is often reported here on TV.

We do NOT like to see her or anyone sabotaged, for sure. She is just too young. And, she lacks necessary wisdom and poise due to her tender age. By the end of Trump's term, she will be 31 and will have gained what she lacks at the moment. Maybe she is suffering from the dreaded Impostor Syndrome?

I predict that she will not last. And, I believe that Vance will choose someone quite different. Although, ..... It's possible that she might grow up and grow into her job.

The last time I drank this Dutch offering was quite some time ago, when Taiwan purchased two subs. In exchange for agreeing to sell Taiwan subs, I think Taiwan, out of the kindness of the heart, decided to buy up a ton of Heineken beer. The locals did not like it. And, the price kept dropping Finally, I bought some, too. I would prefer German beer. And, I think I would never pay "extra" for Dutch beer, at least no more than for Singha or Leo. Is Heineken more expensive than Singha? And, what about the Dutch Brew's Bubbles? Are they small enough for me, do you think? We on Formosa salute the Dutch for their Subs, but not so much for their Brew. Although, Heineken seems to be doing much better in Taiwan these days, compared to 44 years ago. The Dutch just LOVE Taiwan.... But, in the past, the Taiwanese disliked their beer. Not so much, now, I think. Maybe they want to sell more weapons to Taiwan. Or, establish another colony on Formosa... IDK, Too early to say, for now.

It is a COMPLETELY different experience to look through the eyepiece of a telescope and see the moons of Jupiter, compared to just seeing images in a book. The reason is that one can finally grasp that the moons are real, and it's almost like being there. The experience is not the same. One is seeing a changing image in Real Time. Just not the same. When I was young and in high school, I once ground an 8-inch blank of glass from Corning, using a 55-gallon drum filled with water, and without any other equipment. The process of checking and re-checking the focal length of a half-finished mirror using a candle is something everyone should do, at least once in their life. One thing I miss about being where I am is that having a telescope here would be pointless. One other thing most people should do once in their life is take a one-year course in astronomy at a decent university with a dynamite professor. And an example: Much of such a course is spent learning the chemistry of the Sun, and stuff like that. As for modern equipment for the hobbyist, the investment can quickly mount up. Also, I think you mentioned the a Dobsonian (Newtonian) telescope..... When one has the time, it's always best to build oneself....maybe....

He came to your room? What was the point of that?

Just in case someone might be curious.... Due to atmospheric turbulence, large telescopes can use adaptive optics in order to compensate. (No, they DO NOT BLAST HOLES IN THE SKY!!!!!, in case you are worried.) I am looking forward to seeing the images from this monster, before the year 2030. Speed it UP, Guys...!!!!! Still, for the ground observer, the individual, having a dark sky, with stars from horizon to horizon, is much more fulfilling. For those who have spent months at sea, and not in the north, while it is true that the stars are brighter, I doubt that one gets the same effect as places like the Gobi. It's important to be HIGH, and to be Cold.

Here is the Ground Chili bottle. Nice quality. Sufficient heat.

At least, for me, it is SUPER important. Couldn't live without it, in fact. Just LOVE those little fishes.

Insanity However, if the US stopped important Thai Tuna....then....hopefully.... Local Tuna prices would plummet. As one who loves Tuna, this might be good news!

I'ts not so easy to make the best and most fragrant chili sauce. Here is just one method, of many. The Chinese know how to cook. (Of course there are English subtitles for this video.) I prefer the chili sauce made with larger chunks of chili peppers floating.....

Consuming Cayenne in China is not an unknown phenomenon. I found a good supplier here in Thailand. In my view, excellent quality is provided by this company, for all spices, including white pepper. About twice the cost of other companies. Not sure where the spices come from. But, very concentrated and not diluted. Also, if one has the time, it is best to buy the chilies and make chili sauce in a wok. Also, chili oil. And, add garlic to the chili sauce as is done by my Chinese friends. This is how it SHOULD look, and just looking at it makes me drool more than usual.... Wish I had some, and also some noodles. How I miss China....!!!!!! Love the food in ChengDu...for example.

Yes. That is the problem. In Thailand, all beer tastes like Thai beer, even the German beer. Maybe one could have some flown in from Ireland and Germany....IDK.

Thanks for mentioning this. I think Krupa could be faster, when he wanted to. But, Ginger Baker could never wear a tie, at least one properly tied with a Full Windsor.

So then.... Do you generate your own electrical power? Or, do you just do without. Personally, I would like to live in a place like that if I had enough solar and sufficient battery storage capacity. Do you wish to post the coordinates of your house?

Nice island, for sure. However, really too much light pollution there, or at least the atmospheric conditions are not optimal for proper star viewing. If you had mentioned Chile, for example, then I could not agree more. The problem is water vapor in the atmosphere as one nears the equator. Cold air is drier, warmer air holds more water vapor. For example: Chile's ELT... Extremely Large Telescope Those lasers are IMPORTANT!!!! This giant is about half-way to completion. I would move to Chile, instead of the Gobi, except for the fact that .... I really don't like heights.

I was merely agreeing with you, as usual.

What is the difference in calories per liter between Chang, Singha, and Leo? I agree, I think.... Maybe Singha is a bit better. But, still not as good as German beer.

Obviously, microwave radiation will not toast a piece of bread. If you put bread in a microwave, you know what happens. It will shrink and become hard as a rock. (Sounds like I might be talking about something else, but I am not. I am talking about what microwaving does to bread. It will not toast bread as might a convection oven, a radiant oven, or a conventional toaster.)
