Bad Biden polls stoke third-party angst for Democrats
It will be more like the end of democracy, much longer than four years I'm afraid.

Will a Thai Will confilct with International Will?
I'm doing that just now. I have a US-based will for my assets back in the home country and am making an additional will in Thailand for my 800k to go to my son. The will I am purchasing is 5k baht, and if you don't have the required sponsor in Thailand, they charge an additional 10k baht for their attorney to facilitate the will when the time comes.

Where to buy Mac compatible gaming mouse and keyboard in Pattaya?
It depends on the games. If they aren't resource hogs then a 2nd hand Windows 10 laptop can connect to a monitor via HDMI and will make you very happy. I had an older Dell laptop, Win 10, 16 GB RAM, and successfully played GTA 4 on it. I do take issue with your blanket statement "Mac is far better." I've been using both for years and there are things a Mac will do that Windows can't touch but, as you're experiencing, Windows is far superior in the gaming arena.

I'm not being sarcastic or snarky, honestly - why not get a relatively inexpensive Windows machine solely for gaming? SO many better choices in games available and plenty of gaming peripherals are yours for the asking.

The difficulty of avoiding sugar in Thailand.
For what it's worth, you are pre-diabetic the moment you're born. It's just your pancreas wearing out, happens to everyone if they live long enough. Found I had full blown diabetes about 5 years ago. In order to keep glucose at desired levels, I have to prepare all my own meals. If I eat at a restaurant, it throws things out of balance, some places are worse than others. As in everything throughout life, it all comes down to choices. A few falls from grace won't do permanent damage but it is something you have to watch.

Ayutthaya 90 day reporting
Well, move to Chonburi or Chanthaburi. ????

Ayutthaya 90 day reporting
I don't believe so. I've bounced between Chonburi and Chanthaburi, and I KNOW Chanthaburi couldn't care less about us foreigners. It's been streamlined for me since the new system came up.

Who lives in a studio ?
I have a small kitchen and use one of those gas camping stoves. Works like a charm.

Who lives in a studio ?
Different strokes. I was living in a 148 sq mtr on the water in Na Jomtien. Initially I was thrilled, but keeping it clean was more bother than my lazy butt wanted to do. I moved to Chanthaburi for work and have two 36 sq mtr rooms in the same building across the hall from each other. I live in one and store my "stuff" in the other, and it suits me just fine.

Ayutthaya 90 day reporting
If any way possible, do the online method. I got my notice email this morning that it was time to report again, so I went to the website and put in all my info, went to work, and when I got home, my approval was sitting in my email inbox. Smooth as silk.

More Lazada PC / website annoyance - Or is it just me?

Would you cover for your grandson?
No, I have a kid and the best lesson he ever learned was when I kicked him out of the house. He was living in his car for months and that stuck with him. If he did something like KILLING someone, even unintentionally, he would have to pay that price. Life is tough. It's even tougher if you can't look yourself in the mirror.
-
Would you cover for your grandson?
Absolutely NOT under any circumstances. If the twits put themselves in compromising situations, they can dig themselves out. If they learn that they will get bailed out, then in their minds there are no consequences for their actions and they continue being twits. Red bull comes to mind . . .

Gun owners: It's time for us to stand up against the Second Amendment death culture
This ridiculous bunk has been brought up and made obviously BEYOND ridiculous time and time again. By your logic, we should all be allowed equal weaponry as has the gubmint, but last I checked, Walmart don't carry no nukes.

More Lazada PC / website annoyance - Or is it just me?
Latest Chrome no longer remembers my Lazada login info either. My gut feeling is they want us to use the cell app so they no longer have to manage servers for us pc users. That's what SCB did, and I find that to be a nuisance. I DON'T like the SCB app and miss the convenience of the pc interface.

Lazada Wallet - reality check. Can foreigners use it?
At first it didn't work for me. Then about 1 year ago I got a refund for a purchase that I paid for but the vendor was unable to provide. The refund went into my wallet, and I was able to use that for further purchases. I believe they're slowly getting with the program.
