I don't trust anyone to tell me what they think, or what happend. I will rely on personal experience & observations. My observations ... ... I know healthy people who were vax'd, and needed hospitalization ... I don't know anyone that wasn't vax'd and needed hospitalization. ... I know people vax'd and not vax'd, that stated they were infected, symptomatic of not, and recovered just fine. So apparently, being vax'd had no advantage, and quite the contrary, as I know of 2 that died from the vaccine. Your observations may differ.

They would be the same folks that originally said, vaccines prevent getting & spreading covid, and that mask will protect everyone. Not a whole lot of trust there. So the vax'd and death rate by age, or other illness at the time has no significance. Along with all the unvax'd who didn't die or need hospitalization, or even knew they were infected, faired better because of not being vax'd. No way to know who survived because the were vax'd or not, or who died because they were vax'd or not. There is a bit of prove some died due to being vax'd, but a conversation for a different thread. For this topic, there is no real way to prove or disprove.

Taxis use to have a placard with rates to different provinces. If having and getting them to show you may be a challenge. Remember them being much less than what I read people paid.

I don't believe there is any truth to that, or any way to prove or disprove. I personally believe the opposite.

Yep, just a pile of Lamb, spiced up nicely. And only ฿145, in a very comfy setting.

You're a kinder soul than myself

Don't hold your breath on that one. As I prefer to treat everyone as equals.

Agree, as pretty low on the list of things I want or think about. Never smoked tobacco, so of the two, a doobie would win. Again, can think of so many other things I'd enjoy before firing up that monthly doobie, if that. When using chemical stimulants, that means I've gone beyond a level boredom that even I need to escape from. Drugs ... a last resort for self entertainment.

No prob 👍

Not my quote ... try again. I would never use a label that silly

Massaman comes in a variety of forms. I've had more than few versions. A few excellent ones stand out. The rest are usually good enough, but wouldn't make a special trip for most. Had an excellent Lamb Massaman this week. Would definitely pop in, when in the area again.

Butter If weak will power moment; butter & fruit preserves Or, if having, Cream cheese & fruit preserves

Only Buddha knows. Just another made up label, as irrelevant as all the rest. The party of hate has their own dictionary of silly labels to use, when facts fail miserably.

We obviously live in different worlds. Yours mistakenly theoretical, mine reality. Have a nice day

"Neo-Imperialist"

That's one opinion. Mine differs. Hiring unqualified people isn't good for anyone. Quite the opposite. Allowing admission to uni, of unqualified people isn't helping anyone. Quite the opposite. And how did that lending money, home mortgages, to unqualified applicants work out ? FAIL ... FAIL ... and really bad FAIL Open your eyes & brain to facts, instead of BS.

DEI & AA, was a failed attempt to appease the minority special interest groups to win votes. Thankfully it failed miserably. People aren't that stupid any more. DEI ... IMHO, was both racist and sexist. Quotas never work, for anyone, IMHO Labels don't equate to quality.

Not any more, as I tire of the BS, trolls and ignorance. Even got 2 warnings about my posts on AN staff threads this past week, so I guess I won't be posting on them in the future. Trolls ruin the topics that interest me, so it's a quick read now. I'll just have to bore you with any new foods I prepared, or an O&A spot that most will never visit

Kids ... there are NO trans people at all. Nobody is transitioning from one sex to another. At present, it is biologically impossible. Pointed out for those that have had no education at all, or may be mentally unstable.

That ... depends on what country you are in.

Shocker ... didn't think anyone still believed the BS anymore, but then, people still getting those 'safe & effective' boosters and wearing masks You can't fix stupid

My sensor agrees +/-, with the 'local' numbers. Not sure where IQair sources there numbers, but usually don't agree. Not too far off though, most days. I'm getting pretty good guessing the AQI, by how clear I can see the headlands at the bay from the house, and not off by that much 10-15. We're usually a bit better than town / surfside, unless someone is burning nearby, rare, unless it's us, burning trash Need to make smokeless burn barrel, though we only burn a wee bit about once a month.

Unless you lived in Japan, you probably never had Kobe beef. Had wagyu, and don't care for it. I'll take a good USA prime any day, over most others. Much more about who's cooking it. So you're saying high end Michelin Thai food, isn't as good as high end western food or cost the same News flash ... price doesn't always equal quality. I've eaten in high end restaurants, along with not so high end, and put out quality food just as good.
