Is this why the power here failed yesterday afternoon?

Best to just stay off the weed, and solve the problem this way. There must be a very small minority of local inhabitants who are overly interested in smoking weed. And, in my view, the tourists can return to their home countries to smoke up a storm, if they choose.

First Rule: Never live in a Condo Building in Thailand

Why not just buy a gel preparation to perform at-home fluoride treatments? Or, just them them done at your dentist's?

Correct. When it comes to Mars, Elon has a one-track mind. There will be Nuclear War. Nuclear war will be completely devastating. However, Elon should FIRST, as soon as possible, begin designing and building a city underground, ON EARTH, just for practice. Such as city, according to Elon, must have a population of about 1 Million, just to ensure self-sustainability. Far easier to practice building a test city on Earth than to wait and try to build the first one on Mars. There mush be many advantages. And, at one-mile down, such a city on Earth would be impervious to threats from Nuclear War. Even a hit from an asteroid, one mile down, would be like water off a duck's back. Probably best to locate the city in solid-granite, or something.... Please do not forget: We will need to build and duplicate factories down there, too.

Quite fascinating. I would be interested to learn more about your project, teaching online, in a place that presents so many serious challenges. This really cannot be easy. And, just getting your passport updated seems to the least of the challenges, though that in itself seems rather challenging, based on this thread.

Dear Folks, For some reason, members here on TV seem to believe that TESLA is planning to manufacture and sell super-cheap, self-contained houses to be put on lots which do not exist. Maybe a good idea for Saudi Arabia with all that land covered with sand, but Arabia is a wasteland anyway, and nobody cares. BUT, would it not be better to convince Musk to use his BORING COMPANY to start building underground? I like the idea of living underground. And, I think that THX-1138 was very much mistaken when he chose to leave the underground tunnels to "escape" to the world above ground. So, this idea that Musk will start to manufacture TESLA boxes is completely false, it seems. And, This video is completely misleading. HOWEVER, what if Musk began a SURGE to design and construct an underground city, and to put his BORING COMPANY to good use? Would you move underground? I would for many reasons. No noise down there, for one. We could have super-fast elevators to take us down at least a mile, and the commute from the surface to that depth would take only about 30 seconds, at 120 MPH. No vibration from trucks, or road noise down there, for sure. No airplanes flying overhead. And, no train horns, or freight cars. And, it would be easy to hollow-out a very large cave for not much money. Plus, there would be no building permits a mile-down. So many advantages. Would you buy? Can we, do you think, petition Musk to consider this? And, no more 911 threats or Nuclear Bomb worries if we lived a mile-down. I think that Musk should first go-down before he goes up to Mars. Do you agree? Best regards, Gamma PLEASE NOTE: THE BORING COMPANY is a cool company with a great premise..... Go Down. Going down, is the way to go.... https://www.boringcompany.com/tunnels CONCERNING TEMPERATURE GRADIENTS, the deeper you go: Obviously, nobody will need to heat their dwellings down there. On the contrary, at a mile down, it might be a bit too hot for some..... Being farther from Heaven, I mean....

So, you need to share the wifi hotspot from FOUR phones to the laptop just to get decent internet on your laptop for video conferencing? Sounds rather complicated.

How does it makes sense for you to teach online in Burma? Is the electric power delivery super stable there, or something? Just curious.

Do they include meals with the hotel when staying at the Britannia? The UK is doomed.... DOOMED, I say.

A giant wheel of STILTON cheese.

Yes. Because, as far as I know, this is NOT a Tesla product. There seems to be at least one other company using the Tesla name. How and why, I am not sure.

Not this time. But, sometimes.

So, do what I do.... Just stay in your house, and keep the AC on full blast, so that the scent will last. Now that you mention it... Here where I am, it is a rare thing to smell expensive perfume.

And from me. I actually pay people for the privilege of posting my glorious topics here. Also, I rarely, if ever, reply to my own topics or comments, because... I am too buy replying to the comments and topics submitted by others. Anyway, the perfume of a Sunday evening was real. And, this time, it was not cheap. Maybe I will have to buy a bottle of it, myself. Then, I can smell it whenever I like.

Not really. But truly..... Once you have been to China..... The rest of the world, you now realize, is just a complete backwater.... There is truly only one civilized place in the world..... CHINA It has always been this way.... And, it will always be this way. China is HUGE, meaning both Chinese culture, and China, itself. No other country can compare. Go and see for yourselves. Call me Marco Polo if you wish....but...I am speaking truth, here.

BUT, I really must warn everyone on this TV Forum.....that..... Unless you are willing to make the sacrifices to head to western China, then.... You just might not be able to find your way home..... The decadent west is not your salvation, by any means....as you now know..... Go to China, my friends. You will find peace..... You will finally find your way home..... Your TRUE Home.....(This is NOT a joke.)....I never joke when I am serious about life or death things...... Take it on Faith.....if you will.... If you are young, And... If your health is good.... Go to China, my friends..... You will thank me, one day....... India cannot compare to China.... India is a Fng JOKE, compared to China.... No hippie in their right mind, back in the day, would have gone to India if they were not too dumb to learn Chinese..... Hippies were just too dumb....basically...and not used to hard work.... Learning Mandarin is not easy, and takes work.... So, the dumb hippies when to Goa instead of Beijing and WuHan and ChongQing.... The hippies, the American hippies, were idiots who were not even willing to learn a simple language such as Chinese..... Unlike me, of course.... After you learn Chinese, then the world opens up to you.... This is true. Everything under heaven can be seen in China....

You will be happy to enjoy the different ethnic regions in China, for sure. You will gain a lot by doing so. Try the mountainous regions in SiChuan, for example. If you go to these places, then you can STILL find, even in this modern world of ours, some better places.

If I were you, and this is a topic dear to my heart..... IF I were you, and if I were now heading back to china.... I would first go to YunNan province. YunNan is beautiful. Also, SiChuan province. I would not waste my time in GuangDong or Beijing, or any places in East China, such as Shanghai. I am not joking. You will be able to still find the real China if you ....GO WEST My Son....GO WEST..... As, Horace once said.... GO WEST if you go to China....for sure.... There are still some great things to behold in China, if you just go west....

OK, and let us be clear, here.... The girl in David Bowie's China Girl video was NOT Chinese, as you can obviously see. She was... My wife was Chinese, and I knew the difference..... It was so obvious in the music video...but.... Bowie seemed not to care. A REAL China Girl is just so much better....at least than what Bowie shows in his music video. FOR SURE..... In my view, you have just three ways to go if you want beauty: a. pure Chinese b. pure Thai c. BEST of all, however, is Thai-Chinese..... Yes, folks...Thai-Chinese women are the best on Planet Earth, and I can tell you, for sure. =========== But, if you want a regal GF or Wife, then you will need to choose a true Han Chinese...because.... There is just no other option. I could explain this in more detail here, but you probably don't have the time.... ======= Some women are more equal than others...by a long shot....for sure..... Intellectually and physically..... ============ It is obvious that all Asian looked alike to Bowie, back in the day. But, actually all Asians do not look alike... And, this is why the China Girl vid is so weird..... Should have been named.....Vietnam Girl, and not China Girl.....me thinks....

At this point, I would like to mention that, due to my significant experience, over 50 years in China, I know a LOT about China Girls. And so, if anyone might wish, I will be willing to provide consultation to TV Members, for free, concerning what Chinese Girls mostly think about. Also, I will be willing to provide, on a first come first basis, free counseling for Farang-Chinese couples. Just PM me, and....if your case is particularly interesting to me, then I will provide advice concerning almost any Farang-Chinese questions, such as... a. How do you know, or how can you predict, when your Chinese wife might be smoldering, just asking for a fight with you. b. How do you know when your Chinese wife is feeling playful, and ready for Pillow Talk. c. What is the best way to get your Chinese wife in the mood for love. I have spent, almost, my entire life pleasing Chinese women. I know what they are thinking. d. Now that I am old, and after my time with Chinese women, they have completely tired me out. Yes, Folks.... Chinese women are tigers. Chinese women, when they fall in love with a man, can drain him of almost ALL of his most precious bodily fluids..... THIS IS TRUE: And, Chinese women know this...because.... After sex, ten times in the daytime, then they finally say to you.... We need to get you tanked up, again... And so, we need to go buy some oysters. This is NOT a joke: This is just basic Chinese Medicine. After sex, then they always think they need to replenish your precious bodily fluids with either Chinese medicine or seafood. I know a lot of accurate information after spending more time in China than you have even been alive.... Just SO MUCH Baggage, I have, from my 50 years in China, you would not believe... And, I would NOT now trade my time in China, for the world.... Please Note: WHY, oh WHY....did I end up in China? It all began at McGill, when I decided to trade in my western GF for a Chinese upgrade.....and.... This was the very best decision I ever made. Uni-graduated Chinese girls are just so much smarter, and so much better in bed. If you do not believe me, then just try.....

Before you head off to China for a bit of exploring, then I would suggest you first watch this important film: You can watch it here: I would advise finding a good copy of this film, since the cinematography is quite amazing... So, find a good copy of the film, somewhere, before watching it for the first time... For MAXIMUM enjoyment. Everybody has great respect for the work of ZHANG YIMOU, as you know...

China will always be a cool place to explore.

Also, I can tell you. Hong Kong of the 1960s and 1970s is now lost forever. What a pity, and more is the tragedy that we now realize that Hong Kong of that day is now lost and irrecoverable. This loss is almost unbearable.... No doubt, millions of people feel just as do I. It's gone for good. Before the loss, no-one knew. Now, they know.

Chanse Corbi, 24 So now, we have put a name to this horse. But, where is Godiva?
