That's after taking the statin ... Here's mine after taking Rosuvastatin (10mg), which I'm weening myself off of now. Even though didn't start till 68 yrs old, really don't want to be an any med for long term. Before statin ... so they do work:

Things will only get better & less expensive in the future; https://electricdrives.tv/the-top-three-battery-chemistries-coming-soon-to-evs-and-none-of-them-are-solid-state/ My own unscientific calculation of battery degradation is <4% over the 8 yr warranty period, if continue with 20k kms a year driving, which I suspect we won't rack up that many as the years go by, so probably less.

Eat more healthy cholesterol, so your liver doesn't make the crap stuff. May want to ignore some of the healthy eating advice they push. Low fat, lean meat, as what you don't eat, you liver will make, and sucks at it, putting out LDL. Eggs are a great source, and I eat a couple everyday, scrambled and cooked in olive oil & butter. Keep on with the exercising and add intermittent fasting, which will help greatly with weight loss, and control. Only thing that has worked for me.

You know they do, and yep, our ZS ICE version was the best car I owned in TH at that price point. We bit more than Vios & Mazda 2, but so much better. Would recommend to OP but he's looking for something more higher end, and don't think SUV is on his list. Actually the OP is kind of hard to take serious. As if he never bought a car before and hasn't a clue. As a few pointed out, including myself, with his auto skill set ... buy new.

Actually I do, and would never own another ICEV.

Plan on spending time there on the way back up. Over night Sun & Mon, be in Betong on Tues, and leave the area before Friday or Fri morning. @oliviazeno as suggested, rent for a year or so, before buying in anywhere. Not a city person ourselves, and love the western part of ST province, toward Khao Sok and down to Phang Nga town (Muang district). Actually would prefer that, than anywhere in ST.

Yea, that's the planned crossover from the coast to inland and down to Betong.

Heading that way tomorrow, though we don't spend much time in ST (Muang district), and more a pit stop. Yes, we'll be heading down the coast, over by Sichon and below, most of the way till Songkhla. Hwy #41 is a bit boring, especially if any air pollution, as the scenery of any hills in the distance will be a blur. Hope to be down at Betong, Yala, couple days before the weekend, as no desire to be there when the Malay weekender hit town. Not that we'd be near the nightlife area, just prefer not to be caught up in any congestion, if any. A first for us, down that far south, and checks off the last few provinces we haven't stay at yet. Already been to the most N of TH, most E & W and in between. Now the most Southern. Never made it past Phattalung or Satun before, as usually the bottom end of our Southern loops, I don't think, and definitely never slept there if we did. Will actually hit the other areas on the way back up, and a slower ride, spending some time at Hat Yai, Songkhla area & countryside, and where ever else. Need to do a bit more reading about Pattani & Narathiwat.

What's so hard to understand. I could top up the EV at Lotus's on my weekly Swensen's visit. Really don't need to charge at home. If living in Krung Thep, who doesn't hit a mall once a week. You all do go food shopping once a week. There's more than enough CS conveniently located in most areas. When we're O&A, charging isn't an inconvenience at all. Always one where we're stopping, or near where we're eating or shopping, and guarantees a parking spot ... that's a plus in itself. Oh Ye' of Closed Minds Y'all crack my up. Even when O&A, if people are out as much as we are, there is no inconvenience owning an EV. Seriously ... after 3+ hrs on the road, just the same as when owning an ICEV, we're stopping at a PTT Park; for a 'P', for a dog walk, at least 'P'ing", then browse the vendors and get a munch. That's a given and takes about 30 mins, at least. Oh look at that ... there's a CS here, how convenient, so why not top up the car, while we're doing all the above ... ... same as owning an ICEV, just don't have to Q up and wait for them to top it up, just plug in .... .... and .... cost a lot less Y'all over thinking sh!t ... stop making life hard ...

I don't do tiktok, but for the USA (land of the free) ... and speech #1, well, nuff said. Going after tiktok, and after Elon for allowing free speech on 'X', pretty much show how free things are. I know from personal experience, being audited by IRS, when criticizing the WH, (Obama & Bush 2). It's no joke, which is a sad joke within itself. Part of the reason I'm here

Yea ... the ones in the mini fry pan, too easy. One on the plate sliced is TGM (Spicy Herb).

Agree 100% You are born male or female. You can tell yourself what ever you want, dress and behave however you want. BUT .. a transwomen will never get pregnant, and a transman will never get a woman pregnant. You have XX or XY chromosomes, that is what you are, and that will never change. You can add implants or chop off whatever pleases you, but you will always be a birth male or female. These facts will never change. Follow my wife or daughter into the ladies room, and I'll be standing right next to you the whole time ... that's a fact also. I might even hang out there till you leave. Transmen aren't trying to compete against men, and I haven't read any reports about transmen requesting to be placed in men's prison ... go figure.

Scrapple (German/Amish brekkie meat) is formed the same way, after mixed, just placed in a loaf tin, same as meatloaf, and portions sliced off that when cooled.

Buy new. Don't know how you are with new tech, but if for knocking around town, and not too many long drives (125+ kms from home) in the year, then you may want to peek at a few EVs (BEV/full battery (not hybrids), as about 2000 less moving parts. Same price as ICEV (petrol cars), starting around 500k and <!M for a few makes/models; Neta V, BYDs, & MGs. Charging at home a plus, though not a complete necessity, since many malls and even Lotus's now have charging cable. No more hassle than topping up at petrol station, once past the slight learning curve. Operating & maintenance cost considerably lower than petrol vehicle. Just noticed your 'price' / 50k USD ... buy new, options abound.

I don't bother with sausage casings, just make patties. Casings is way too much hassle, buying, cleaning, before & then after using. Too much clean up for me.

Just part of the basic spices most should have. Only off one might be sage, as not really a Thai thing, but easy to find (Makro), or silly expensive little jars of. Needed when making Scrapple.

Come on ... too easy. Should have all the spices in your cabinet anyway. Only thing I do different is add Cayenne pepper, instead of red pepper flakes (too generic). Villa Markets used to carry Jimmy Dean sausages, but if TGM's are bit pricy, then forget JD's @ VM. May even find at the better Tops or Gourmet Markets, in the farang ghettos.

Copy cat recipe

I'm was partial to the TGM spicy sausages, and didn't find them expensive at all. Quite the bargain, if not knowing how to make or too lazy to make your own. Now I do make my own. Think Jimmy Dean sausages with a bit of extra Cayenne pepper. TGM brekkie, damn tasty: Homemade, even tastier & less than half price:

That's my chuckle emoji .... nice, JC going from playing JC to Angel of Death. JC is one of the most underrated actors out their, love his work 👍

Just an observation. I've learned to ignore the daily, weekly, monthly reminders. My post seems to trigger a couple of y'all constantly ... ... do you prefer to be the kettle or the pot Same as J.K. can't seem to say anything without people reading much more into it. I can relate, as my fan club seems to have the same mindset. Same 3-5-10 posters almost quarantined to comment on my posts. I don't clear my notifications, so easy to see the same names over & over, depending what topic I post one, which is getting more infrequent of late, since such a repeatedly boring echo box. Like watching MSM being independently verified by the sheeple.

Just mention 'Nazis' is all that is needed ... the reminder is implanted. Why it's in MSM daily, weekly, monthly, and at a guess, 10-20 movies a year, direct or indirectly. IMHO And yet, the news-blip includes: ... "Critics accused Rowling of engaging in Holocaust denial, highlighting the well-documented history of Nazi oppression against marginalized communities, including Jewish people, homosexuals, and transgender individuals."

More quality tourist. Not surprised some poster actually think it's OK to sexually assault women, and doubting their account of events.
