  1. Yes. I do know why. The word Moon is derived from the word Monday. It is Monday which is the day of the week that is most apt to drive humans crazy. More people Go Postal on Mondays, as well.
  2. I am quite sure that YOU did NOT land on the Moon. Are you using the inclusive or exclusive WE, by the way.... Meaning.... a question of clusivity, in this case. Some people have been to the Moon, obviously. Though I have not. Some people will soon return to the Moon, obviously. But I will not.
  3. Either the US will get Greenland, or.... China and XiJinPing will get Greenland. Your choice.
  4. Yes. That is the point. The Mennen fragrance in this product is more subtle than being anything else. This is why it is preferable...IMHO.
  5. Please go on.... You mean mine.... Right?
  6. This is incredible news. It will not affect me, however. Can you even imagine that an entire nation will begin working from home, and not going outside, due to the air? Worse then Pea Soup, maybe....? ======== And, for those at home? Do they have proper air purifiers set up already? Have they taped their windows and sealed them properly? Do they have ACs for use in such rooms that are sealed? So much to do. So little time..... Let's get on the stick, and get cracking!!!
  7. Yes. Some more than others.
  8. Thanks for your comment. And....unfortunately NO I have not fixed this monitor situation...yet. a. I still will not buy a graphics card. I just will not. b. I have one displayport, one hdmi port, and seemingly one usb-c port in order to connect monitors. c. I can't daisy chain my monitors due to not having at least one monitor with two DP ports. d. So, this is why I thought to buy a new monitor, maybe two. e. But then, I see that the 32 inch monitors at JIB, or many of them, are either out of stock or way too expensive, or both. f. So now, I am trying to think a solution so that I can STILL have all monitors connected to the PC and connected DIRECTLY, and not using any special connectors such as g. Then I thought of adding a Thunderbolt card to the PC. But, I don't have any thunderbolt monitors. h. So, the best option might be get one more monitor with the usb-c connector. then use the DP port on the computer for the second monitor, and then use the HDMI port for the 3rd monitor. But, this is just one plan. I really don't like having all these different connectors. Someone, back in the day, should have planned for this. Personally, I wish everything were DISPLAYPORT connectors and ports, all the way. ========== So now, I am still looking for a decent computer monitor, and not a small one. Thaks!
  9. How unfortunate that pricing on simple components, Sensors, such as these, have increased in price so much. Maybe, as you say, one must now buy in quantity to get a reasonable price. As a comparison, one wonders how accurate the cheap XiaoMi air purifier sensors might be. It's possible to test the machines against each other, but maybe that might tell too much.
  10. Yes. Choose cotton, and, most likely, Mennen and similar articles will be less needed, or not needed at all. Synthetic fibers are not suitable for clothing. (products such as GorTex excepted, maybe, and other outerwear materials) Obviously, once people switched to wearing synthetic fibers, the Mennen-type products went through the roof, at least in the USA, and maybe Canada. Doubt they care in Mexico, however. Also, it's my view that the more you use (deodorant), the more you must use, and the more you stink. Just another reason why I stopped using it (other than to sniff), back around 1982. https://www.buffalo.edu/ubnow/stories/2022/06/casteel-history-of-deodorant.html My impression is that it was the US GI in the trenches, or in the barracks, that might have something to do with the huge increase in deodorant use. https://lonekauri.com/blogs/news/a-whiff-of-history-the-evolution-of-deodorant Maybe we will need to first consult some industry sources in order to get to the bottom of this. We need more objective research. And, we definitely need a GRAPH showing fragrance and deodorant usage from just before the Depression Era, until Present. I just wonder how many hobos were wandering around spritzing perfume under their arms, and maybe other places. Meanwhile: My best word of advice is to WEAR COTTON. Shower Daily (two times better), Don't use Mennen, or any similar deodorant product, other than to sniff, and....MOST IMPORTANTLY: Stay away from others who do not follow these rules. ALSO: The more you use, of any deodorant product, the more you stink. So let this be a word to the wise.
  11. Interesting PM2.5 sensor, though. Is that a kit that you assembled?
  12. Yes, maybe. But, the relative humidity is crazy high. Don't you ever use AC in your car?
  13. Actually, passing air through any "air" filter will trap PM2.5. It's just a question of effectiveness. The particles will bind/stick to the filter, even though not specifically designed as a HEPA filter. As we all know, even human lungs will also filter PM2.5 particles out of the air, even though human lungs are not HEPA filters.
  14. Normally, this is just what is called a.... SYSTEM ON ...notification. Meaning, if it is on and green then all is well, and no need to worry....IF....that is.... You do not begin to worry about the green light on the dash, for no reason. However, in some Honda's, it can also mean: Cleared for Takeoff. Systems Go. Personally, I would not buy a car in Thailand. Too many questions.
  15. Imagine how many millions would be lost to the flavorings industry if we were just to stop consuming foods with artificial flavorings. This boggles my mind, as well. I was once a paying member. Not of the one in India, of course. But, the other one, the well-respected association of Fragrances & Flavorings. I think they published the PINK Book, in fact. Long time passing.....
  16. When I was living in condos, and guesthouses.... The Chinese girls would hang out their underwear on their balconies.... Like flags..... Like Flags on Everest, or something..... So many flags. Your comment takes me back to those good old days. One could not HELP but look . I used to sit on my balcony and just dream.... So many FLAGS.... There were...... Pink ones Blue ones Red ones Black ones. So many panties. Every kind of girl..... Take that pearl Spill the wine.... Really takes me back, in fact.....to this.... Pink ones.....red ones....black ones....yellow ones....
  17. Thank you for this info. Many years ago, I used ViewSonic monitors and liked them much. Years ago, ViewSonic was considered quite high-end, when monitors were CRT type. I will take a closer look at the info you have provided. Tks!
  18. Men...Men Nice one! a. MenMen = Mennen b. MenMen = stinko, stinky, etc. Hope those here get this. Nice one!
  19. Although I have not used Mennen since about 1982, I am thinking of buying one stick. Not to apply to my body. But just to get a whiff of it, once in a while, just to.... Remind me of the Good Old US of A. A matter of nostalgia and not a strategy to attract women. For women, I just use Tinder. So many Quality Women on Tinder, don't you know.
  20. And then they wonder why God brought cancer unto their world?
  21. Of course. The sound was music to one's ears, as I recall.
  22. By the way, Guys.... I have had great luck/success with BENQ monitors (budget ones) during the past decade. They seem quite good quality for the low cost. Also, they seem to last a long time, with good build quality, and no negative issues. My guess is that they are quite suitable for office work, which is what I use them for...meaning.... Mostly spreadsheets, documents, video conferencing, and such... But ZERO gaming, or high-resolution requirements. This model seems to be over six-years old: BenQ EW3270U 4K HDR monitor And, I did find this excellent review produced by the Technology Man: I already have two 27-inch versions of lower resolution: I am truly as pleased as punch with these lesser monitors from BenQ. They are still going strong. No complaints, whatsoever. So, this is why I want to buy what seems to me to be just a slight upgrade to 32-inch and 4K, but still the same old type workhorse that BenQ has proved to be. These are not super-high resolution gaming or engineering monitors, but I do not need that. Just need to be able to read spreadsheets with higher resolution. Video quality is not really that important to me....because.... Video conferencing using Google Meet or similar platforms is always very low resolution. I just need more screen-space, offered by the 32 inch. And, having 4K resolution will be easier on the eyes, I guess. But, I am NOT willing to pay the JIB high cost for this 6-year-old monitor.... JIB is charging Bt.11,900.00, and this is too much for this old thing..... Thanks for any good advice.... Such as where to get this 32-inch old BenQ for a decent price and reliable quality with a warranty...... Tks, again.
