I can help with the NFL streaming. NFLBite.com Completely free.

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.

Of course not. Some people are floating arguments looking for a place to spout.

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.

I've personally known only two guys who tried to get work permits. There was a mountain of paperwork, multiple trips to Bangkok because there were always MORE documents required than the instructions originally stated, and in the end neither of them got a permit granted. I have a feeling a street vendor has neither the time nor the resources to do this. As I just posted above, they need a common sense worker's visa/work permit program.

It's the same damned problem in the US. They need a common sense worker's visa/work permit program. There's obviously a NEED for these folks.

Learn from the Ladyboys who play volleyball every day at the other end of the beach. They leave it cleaner than when they arrive.

Well, move to Chonburi or Chanthaburi. ????

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.

The online system.

I have a small kitchen and use one of those gas camping stoves. Works like a charm.

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.

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.

<rhetorical question> C'mon, besides the obvious, what world class entertainment does Pattaya provide? </rhetorical question>

What the HELL?!? Just now (Thursday 7 Sep, Thai time 0730) all my account and password info showed up again using Chrome. T.I.T.S.

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.

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 . . .

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.

Good for you.

This is testosterone gone bad.

Does anyone REALLY think they care???

If you have to ASK the public to trust you, you've lost the game already.

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.
