If all you have is money / bank notes, and you need to survive, then you will simply die with your currency. Or, unless you, yourself are marketable ... a whole new crop of free-lancers As much as a gold mine I am in that aspect, I won't need to exercise that route, as we are fairly self sufficient, or will be shortly. No need for anything or anybody. All prepped up over the past 2 years, and just need to fine tune the operation, with some more planting, some chickens ... and buy a damn fishing rod 🙄

Wish I had that common sense in the beginning, as crashed my first drone on first day, ignored that little tidbit of advice; practice in open area. Does it have GPS ? Though actually better to learn operating if it doesn't. Crashing mine on day one, cracked the GPS module, so I had to learn to operate with any electronic assistance. Just find a open area, and practice at very low altitude, take off, point A to B, the sort of play baseball with it (square flight path), go to point C then D then back to A. Repeat till it's second nature. Flying back is the killer, as everything/controls are reversed. Never use 'headless' mode, as will never learn anything using that. Practice practice practice on entry level, till it's 2nd nature.

That's going to be 'land office' dependent. Udon Thani PLO, wouldn't transfer land until I signed off my usufructs. Muang PKK is the same. Wouldn't even allow the owner to modify the house, without my permission, which I thought was kind of cool. Owner is my wife Another way to protect one's house investment, that is in the law, and if you are given the right to sublease. They will not transfer anything, if it affects a 3rd party, or so I read. Good for those that do the 30 year lease thing, and can't be cancelled as will affect a 3rd party. A wife, ex wife, can cancel a lease, 1 year after divorce. I had success with POA, selling first house. But true what you state, Thai owner could simply sell on the cheap to family or friend, and simply wait to you die, and possibly, rush that possibility. After I threw the wife out, I was looking over my shoulder the first month, for any full faced MB riders coming up from behind ...

Things like below, along with recent covid/vaccine BS, that many, myself included simply don't trust folks like FDA or CDC anymore. Hoping not to go off topic, with vaccine debate, as more than enough threads already. "High-profile cases involving prominent scientists, such as the former Stanford University president and leaders at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, have gained national attention, making science sleuths impossible for the research community to ignore." They seem to keep pushing info and advice that is contradictory to new data. Or worst, just totally false, think current drama. Back to treatment of cancer for instance ... Watched and excellent YT vid last night, coincidently, reinforcing what I already knew, but explaining the finer details of that knowledge. How the 'advisory' folks are still recommending cancer treatments & diet, on old data, and simply ignoring new data. Hopefully out of ignorance, but suspect it to be more profit driven, sadly, and just IMHO of course. There's a push to get the new data accepted in the medical community, but obviously not in the best interest of Big Pharma, so a very uphill fight. They are still pushing the very profitable treatment of most cancer based on the 'somatic mutation theory', when the data clearing points to 'mitochondrial metabolic theory'. Again, for profits ... just IMHO of course. This really is a must watch IMHO

Let me correct that for you ... ... " People forget, all science should be looked at by others before it is proven."

Yes, sort of (needs registration), no and no. If having camera, need to register with 2 authorities; local PoPo (all) & CAAT (w/camera) To the OP, that's good news all around. Especially minimum specs & repair centers.

Wifey does that, quite the minute amount though. Me, straight black. Don't think the butter would add much benefit to myself, as drink a darker, less caffeinated roast. Plus I really don't need the extra caloric load, that early in the morning, as won't be burning it off till near noon. I take in more than enough fat already.

Guess it depends where you live. USA has VICP (Vaccine Court), yea, it's own court just for vaccine lawsuits/claims for injury and or death. All no fault decisions, so nothing makes the news. Been inexistence for35+ years, and paid out billions. $.75 is added to every vaccine sale, so the vaccine self funds to settle claims. So they fund the awards and, no direct cost to big pharma. Or responsibility, blame on the manufacturer of the poison that hurt or killed people. That's why the covid vaccine / gene therapy was classified as a vaccine, and probably while the changed the definition of 'vaccine'. IMHO $5 billion on 10,443 claims ... that's some pretty big payouts. In Louisiana, USA, there's 12,000+ pending cases, but they are also suing the process of how CICP are handling such cases. Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) Typical USA court system, all type in litigation. I think it's a separate court and not VICP, since being named. "Vaccine makers Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson, which have been indemnified by the government" Google is your friend, as the article is behind a paywall and difficult (time consuming) to read, and I can't be bothered.

Same advice ... don't use wood. You'll probably never has to replace them again. Our house has NO WOOD in any part of the construction. Simply not needed. You'll also eliminate the 'seasonal swelling' when wood windows/doors are exposed to moisture, direct or simply RH.

Anyone familiar with this, as seen while peeking at FB Marketplace ... Seem to have a TH distributor BYD cells ???

Now ??? Last shows in TH, was in August 2022 @ Hua Hin & in August 2022, @ Phuket Tour Dates (not TH)

Google the first three; pence, barr, mattis, and all three have books for sale ... ... think it's called marketing Surely they got nice advances, and probably not for talking nice about Trump ... IMHO No need to waste any more time, trying to figure out the others' motives.

And it's not even November yet Rains won't start till about May ... ... Nov-Dec-Jan-Feb-Mar-Apr ... 1-2-3-4-5-6 months And up North ... ... PM2.5 today @ CM, actually not bad, and relative to how crappy it usually is, just 2X WHO's healthy index

Certainly contradicts current charts, showing the baht has been strong in the past 6 months, or USD weak (your choice). Just a slight dip since Oct 1st. Thai Baht to United States Dollar Along with if history repeats itself, the USD will get weaker with another Trump administration. Last administration he stared with USD / THB at shy of 35 / $1, and left office, with the USD / THB @ 30 / $1. Think someone needs a new source of info for their op-ed

I'm amazed people were dumb enough to get the shots 3 years ago, let alone continuing to get them now, after all that is known. At least back then, they could almost plead ignorance. You really can't fix stupid IMHO of course

To the topic ... when ? Don't wait for that to happen. ... be self sufficiency & independent. Take care, control of your own affairs, and you won't need the rest of the world for anything. Rely on others, and you will fail

Yes, and probably correct, along with the govt is also a big holder of it's own debt. Borrowing from themselves ... think Social Security, and how they drained that fund to near insolvency. Still in the print more money mode. Debt is on paper, and as long as nobody calls you on it, then you're not bankrupt. JFK wanted to do away with Central Banking & Fed ... shh ... we all know how that turned. ME ... ain't paying and haven't paid taxes most of the past 24 years. Think I got all mine back, or will before I crap out. Like bein a blight on society

Choose a different material ... think termites.

I had/have numerous yahoo mail accounts, as days past, they didn't require a ph#. Seems now there's always a problem signing in, and the code thing doesn't work, as sent to another yahoo account, which needs to be signed in. I won't give my ph# to any account, that I don't need, as like to be incognito on the web. Only 1 mail accounts (hotmail) has my real name & ph#. All the rest have BS info. Even AN, I think is a yahoo account, and if ever asked to verify that, I'd be gone, or have to start a new username, I think. Though doubt I'd bother, especially if Ph# required.

Didn't leave many options in the poll. In the past yes. Actually now, rare that I sip at all, let alone out of the house, or even more than one. So technically, still drink & drive, When I was a weekend or monthly warrior, here in Thailand, I'd simply get a hotel, when living in Udon Thani, as most of my sipping days were there. Local forum even had monthly meet ups, and a pub crawl/drive at times, and I'd hire a private tuk tuk driver to 'limo' my butt to each bar When single, then later the GF/wife would simply drive, if we didn't get a hotel. Hotel was the usual route, until later, when the meeting weren't 'alcohol fueled'. After a few, just give the GF/wife the keys. Days past in USA, can't say I was as responsible, and thankfully never had an oops or hurt anyone. One reason I liked happy hours in Philly, as took the train to/from, living walking distance to the train in suburbia. Couldn't get any more convenient than that.

Did another 'equalization', today, 6 weeks after the 'quoted' one above. As should be done (BYD info) when <10%, instead of 18%, and last time, it was interrupted. So took the MG ZS down to 6%, and nothing changed. Took 43.5kW to get back to 100%, and strangely, the same 6kW discrepancy, from what the car got, and what the grid provided. So no need for the MG ZS to be taken down below 10%, (not a fan of) as same results as below 20%.

From the link I posted, that you didn't read. Senseless to have a discussion, when you echo MSM BS vs science ... Have a Nice Day "Whether most scientists outside climatology believe that global warming is happening is less relevant than whether the climatologists do. A letter signed by over 50 leading members of the American Meteorological Society warned about the policies promoted by environmental pressure groups. “The policy initiatives derive from highly uncertain scientific theories. They are based on the unsupported assumption that catastrophic global warming follows from the burning of fossil fuel and requires immediate action. We do not agree.”2 Those who have signed the letter represent the overwhelming majority of climate change scientists in the United States, of whom there are about 60." ____________________________________________________________________ "For the CO2 narrative to be true REQUIRES: 1. Man’s (4%) CO2 to controls the rest of (96%) CO2. 2. CO2 to be the main controller of temperature and climate. BOTH CLAIMS FAIL AGAINST SCIENCE, and are not made any less false by any number of new or old ‘celebs’ generating large carbon footprints by attending “Save-The-Planet” stunts where they tell us all to not fly, not eat meat, not drive cars, not breath etc. Nor do the industrial scale official temperature data set “adjustments”, alarmist forecasts which never come true, or the hysterical propaganda claims of “record” heat at questionably selected urban heat islands, make falsity valid. The first contention, the idea that Man’s CO2 controls the rest of natural CO2 – plant growth and decay, termite CO2/Methane production (which is significantly more in net supposed “greenhouse” effect than Man’s – and 2 thus it is questionable as to why we have not declared war on termites), volcanoes etc etc. – is an absurd conspiracy theory of nature. There is no evidence for this madness. Do termites increase CO2 production when you ride in a bus around your town, simply because your CO2 is human produced? The second assertion, that CO2 controls climate is negated by observations. In the long run CO2 levels are an EFFECT NOT A CAUSE of changes in Climate / temperatures. Sea temperatures rule CO2 as the oceans hold 50 times more CO2 than the atmosphere. If the sea warms, CO2 is released (like warming a glass of fizzy drink) and if it cools it absorbs CO2 from the air. This happens on a daily/weekly/monthly/yearly basis and on average CO2 in the whole atmosphere stays around for a few years before going back into the upper levels of the ocean or into the soil; CO2 levels in these relatively small changes LAG behind temperature changes. On longer time scales extra CO2 emitted from the sea surface in warm periods gets swallowed up into the cold deep ocean by currents off e.g. Greenland and emerges 500-800 years later in the air over the Pacific etc. after a long deep sea trek - see below. So, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, over the long run, is an effect, and not a cause, of temperatures and lags behind the climate by about 500-800years"

Monica Beer Bar @ Clinton Plaza ... ... never mind, that went the same way of hillary's political career 😎

Finally, done with the ground beef; burger, sloppy joe, almost done with the meatloaf. Guess I'll call that a tomato/onion omelet & salmon

Anyone running out of electrons with their BEV would have to be one of the dumbest drivers. Took ours down to the low side of 6%, (purposely) and still had an estimated 20kms of range left. Got the usual 30% charge remaining warning, and good for at least 100 kms more. Then got 4 more audio warnings as the additional ~5% wound down, along with idiot icon on display.
