  1. I have, toward foreigners and basically avoid them. And I don't even have to deal with the ignorant, arrogant ones, since not in customer services. Just think how the locals feel, that do
  2. Hot ... Damn Hot ... 😎 Been using full 8kWh of ESS overnight (14 hrs), during past 2+ months. Cooler weather and it's as little as 5kWh overnight.
  3. Really. Standard in Pennsylvania, USA is 15mph / 25kph. And strictly enforced.
  4. Reads like the boat was dead in the water, and everyone decided to peek at something on the same side of the boat, capsizing it ... after being warned not to. Oh well ... R I P
  5. Old & unhealthy people die every day from respiratory disease, usually as one of the last illness to kill them, especially males in TH. Nothing new, get over it, and accept it. Single digits in a week, that's not even news worthy. They're old, past their expiration date ... that's nature. Covid, flu, pneumonia ... old age, Death & taxes get us all in the end. TH 'all' deaths from/with covid ... 494 per million people. Not even 0.05% Get a Life, move on.
  6. Phetchaburi ... hmm, restaurants with some ambiance, good luck with that. Can't say I've spent a lot of time in the area, especially looking for anything more than a quick munch & moving on. Sorry can't help you
  7. https://www.facebook.com/reel/453380803940969
  8. That's a favorite, used back as far as 2015, pick a cause, 'blood diamond' ... etc etc etc (source)
  9. Along with all the fake, false info, memes, vids out there. Fine example: the FAKE The REALITY ... "December 8, 2018 Many people have reacted to the photo of a young boy bing used as a laborer on a construction site which they claim depicts how poverty in the country drives child labour"
  10. Not sure I'd say it's any worse than previous years. It has seemed to shifted a bit, I think arriving later and staying till later in the year. This year and last, as prior, seemed to rain at end of April and definitely by now, first week of May. Always HOT ... DAMN HOT, till the rains arrive 😎 No prob, AC house to AC car, to AC shopping, restaurant or coffee shop. 35-40-45C, and we wouldn't change much for either temp. Still get out and walk the dog, in the shade and just after sunset. Last year the rains didn't show up down here / PKK till after the 20th of May. As I remember talking to and telling my brother not to come this time of years. He & wife finish & fly out of Nam tomorrow, and were going to be in Bangkok tomorrow. For 3 days, then Chiang Mai 😲😲😲 So it would be crap pollution, or, if rains show up as forecast on the 9th, maybe rained out Talk about rolling the dice with no chance of winning. Cancelled that, thankfully, and rescheduled for Nov this year. Should be real nice, and pollution hopefully hasn't started yet
  11. I have, and actually one of, if not my favorite restaurant in Udon Thani, and TH. Unfortunately closed up long ago. Had an excellent 'free' free-flow wine night, which had 'low key' quality band/singers, and nothing intrusive, and actually very welcome as background music, or watching them. Excellent food to top it off 👍👍 That said, not a fan of any music when dining, unless very low volume, and hopefully, instrumental, soft jazz preferred.
  12. Doubtful if the fault of the EV. Think that one falls under 'User Error'. Kudos to safety feature, as all walked away. Maybe if an ICEV and the petrol tank spit & ignited, they wouldn't have been so lucky, since upside down.
  13. The part where you treat them like equals. Asking such a query and I suspect it may be a challenge for you / OP.
  14. Breyers used to be a premium product back in the day. But, sold out to the conglomerates, who really screwed it up. From Wiki ... "History: Breyer ice cream truck, c. 1915 In 1866, William A. Breyer began to produce and sell iced cream in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 👍 first from his home, and later via horse and wagon on the streets. Breyer's son Henry incorporated the business in 1908. The formerly independent Breyer Ice Cream Company was sold to the National Dairy Products Corporation/Sealtest in 1926.[3] National Dairy then changed its name to Kraftco in 1968, and Kraft by 1975. Kraft sold its ice cream brands to Unilever in 1993, while retaining the rights to the name for yogurt products. Ice cream[edit] Prior to 2006,[5] Breyers was known for producing ice cream with a small number of all-natural ingredients. In recent years,[when?] as part of cost-cutting measures since their move from Green Bay, Wisconsin, to Unilever's U.S. headquarters in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey,[6] Unilever has reformulated many of its flavors with nontraditional, additive ingredients, significantly changing the taste and texture of their desserts as a result." 😲
  15. Labor seems a bit high, not sure about the roof panels. Not understanding the difficulty of getting panes on the roof. We used BlueScope rolled steel, and they are extremely light. Use the thickest insulated ones, along with rolls of ceiling insulation (R+37/38) and the ceiling (dry wall/gypsum board) is cool as cucumber, on the hottest days.
  16. Holy crap ... guess mine will be even more, since I have a 'BIG BIKE'
  17. Agree, and will use LAZ as first choice. If using LAZMALL vendor, will refund item when picked up, before it even makes it back to the warehouse. Just got an instant refund notice to 'LAZ Wallet' last week, on 2 parcels/3 items returned, before the driver made it out of the soi
  18. COD for us, avoids any issues ... ... not received (never happened though) ... damaged on arrive (happened once, but not obvious, refunded) ... no wait for refund, though TBH, easy enough ... not a problem being here, as no schedule and tracking lets you know the day it will arrive ... one 'flash & kerry' driver knows us so well, that if not here, leaves parcel (s), and rings/msg the wife, to transfer funds, if she missed the initial call.
  19. You have to ask .. ... fresh air ... blue, clear or overcast skies, anything better than polluted haze ... everything green again, instead of dusty & crunchy ... lakes & ponds have water ... maybe some good boomers & a lightshow
  20. I never care what people think, and certainly not trying to impress strangers. Ugly ... subjective. Way too cool and looks like something from 'Lost is Space'. Me & Sniffy the Wonder Dog, cruising surfside ... oh yea. Windows down, blasting "Who Let the Dogs Out" or "Fly Like and Eagle" ... smoking a doobie ROCK ON
  21. Too silly priced in TH.
  22. Gelato is good, if same chain that was here / TH. Tasty stuff
  23. Stated already, newer BEV don't need cobalt, and like ours, are using LFP chemistry. Your phone, laptop and other battery operated electronics are probably still using though. Hypocrisy - the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform.
