Apparently store wide, and just picked up a couple 'Tasty' myself @trevoromgh THANKS Check your BB date, and if planning of freezing and shedding later, then shred before you freeze, as cheddar tends to crumble apart afterwards, when trying to shred. Makro Cheddar blocks are 360/kg locally / PKK, so a nice buy.

Help, i fancy my local pharmacist (F) !

I can roll with either or, but relationships, except present, never lasted very long. No major regrets, as all fun, and mutually separated, luckily. -
Yea, 5 whole cm, and is the measured from under the door, or under the exhaust, which in my world, is usually one of the lowest part of the vehicle. Either way, you're an idiot any driving any ICEV, or any vehicle in water touching the bottom of the car, as I found out, and had to replace the wheel bearings on one, for my ignorance.

Don't knock it till you tried it ... consenting adults ... don't have to smell alcohol on his stinkin' smelly breath/body ... don't have to listen to what 'he/she' prefers ... don't have to listen all to anything ... don't have to smell the cig when they are done ... no regrets, embarrassment when he/she brags to friends he she banged you. ... don't have to pick up his/her clothes, snuggle or make a sandwich for them afterwards A lot of pluses with that relationship, and always happy to see you, never complaining, usually.

Timing is everything ... supply & demand vs options = premium pricing. Considering they are working 'overtime' away from family, if having, or doing something they'd actually be enjoying, stop crying, pay, or get a hotel till rates are more to your liking. You have the freedom of choice, you just fail to exercise it. ENJOY your holiday 😎

I probably read into that, something different than you intended, and yes, that was my chuckle emoji Congrats on 31 years, I'm knockin' on 19 yrs, when all the rest didn't make 3 or 4 yrs, if a month. -
Yep ... ICEV, unless having a snorkel is limited to the depth of the exhaust. BEVs are not. Not that I would drive my BEV or any car through water that would touch the bottom of the car. But I certainly wouldn't worry about not making it through a silly large area of water on the road, vs not even attempting in an ICEV. I think our battery pack is rated for about 30 mins of submersion, and nope, won't be testing that out any time soon.

My usual brekkie, first meal, is a couple eggs, maybe with a side or protein, or it turns into an omelet. Like to start the day with heavy protein & fat meal, after my overnight intermittent fast of 15 ish hours. Brekkie is usually 1100-1200, then munch again at around 1400, if bored, then again, dinner at 1600-1700. That's actually dictated by the solar system, and dog taking me for my evening walk before sunset, so I can see the snakes without carrying a flashlight ... Maybe a lite snack at 2000 hrs. Only post photos of anything else when it's a bit different. I'd bore you with repetitive snaps of eggs+ or omelets.

American Exceptionalism: Reality or Just a Myth?
KhunLA replied to SoCal1990's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Every country has it pros & cons, almost all provide opportunities, you just have to seize them. More than a few countries, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to be born there. Ignorant nationalism certainly isn't limited to the USA. You simply have to live with your choices. I always state USA is a land of opportunity, since I was always able to work (30+ jobs 🙄) and easily provide from myself, on a limited 'formal' education, and being a LPOS. Last job was decent (13 yrs) and last the 10 yrs of that, probably why I lasted so long, I worked 2 long days a week. 2 on and 5 off to use for my own interest, play or invest my time. Retired at 45, so hard to say the opportunity isn't there for everyone, if I can do it. I actually thought it was quite easy. Have the same opinion of TH, though I'm certainly glad I wasn't born here. Wife's family are all self sufficient, most retired early, educated or not. Same as USA, I see many struggle, dealt a bad hand, or LPOS, and many applied themselves and are doing just fine. A country is just a location, and you can fall for the propaganda or not. I listen to non Yanks go on about how good their country is, and yet, they live here/TH, physically, or on the internet. Can't be that F'g good, and most, I doubt if I'd want to live in, as had my choice to live anywhere I wanted. And I chose Thailand ... nuff said and ... WTF was I thinkin' -
I'll miss him, as he gave my income about 35+% boost while there, via COLA & exchange rate over 4 yrs. Probably regret Harris not continuing the destruction of the American Dream and future boost to my income. Small price to pay for family & friends still having to live with the damage he caused, and hopefully President Trump can right the wrongs ... again.

As stated a few times, depends how much driving one does daily, if using granny charger. If charging overnight, 10 ish hours, that about half one's battery capacity, for us, MG ZS, so at least 150 kms a day. If plan things properly or simply patient, the 30-45 mins at CS and you're topped up again. Location dependent on how convenient that is, and can do while shopping, munching, or just having a coffee & Danish. We live kind of rural, but there 3 or 4 CS nearby, within 5 kms.

There is also a chemistry to using dutched & natural chocolate when baking. Not a problem if following a written recipe by a professional. If doing your own from scratch, and baking, you need to use the proper combination of baking powder or soda with the different cacao powders. Dutched, use powder for better results. Natural, use soda for better results. Something us ex-bakers know. Also some chocolates won't state if dutched or natural, but if stated 'unsweetened', it's a good bet it is natural. A heads up for those, like myself, who make their own chocolate, using Coconut oil, cacao powder & sweetener, it's heavy caloric load. Think I calculated 2 pieces of my chocolate, and small, is about 400 calories. So I can munch on them, or have a complete healthy, filling meal Just ran out of coconut oil, so with that little tidbit, I think my chocolate making days are over

I think all 3 versions of 100% cacao powder have about the same % of coco butter, 10-12% Other brands (more expensive), may give you about 20ish %. Brown, Dark & Super Dark Chocolate ...

So we're to believe, cars, Tesla, will kill you, and not the operators of them. Almost as silly as guns kill people. People kill people. No product has ever killed a person, that wasn't first started, operated, or used by a person first. A person has always been responsible for any product or machine causing death or injury. All vehicles are safe, if operated legally. People are and always will be the problem. Anyone want to bet, what industry makes sure that statistic is headline news I'm just happy, diesel truck fumes have never hurt anyone

Yep, Musk is on the left's & MSM's sh!t list, ever since buying Twitter. And now aligning with Trump, it will only get worse.

Yes, opportunities knocks big time there. If I stayed, I could easily be a USD multi millionaire. RE was my game, so imagine 25 more years of RE investing with the way housing prices have risen. Matter of fact, don't even have to be there, live there, to invest in RE, if knowing what you're doing. I'm just too lazy to bother ...

Probably easier to do in your home country. Very easy if a Yank. TH just started a few years back, but I didn't get much further than knowing it was possible now. Since having trusted partner, and kid now adult age, no need to set one up for them. They both have access to each others assets via wills, and responsible enough to not need a trust. Give this a read ... https://www.bakermckenzie.com/-/media/files/insight/publications/2018/08/al_thailand_privatetrustactapproved_aug18.pdf?la=en#:~:text=A trust can be set,onshore assets including real estate.

Think I'll take the long scenic route, Hwy #4, from now on, when visiting the kid. When on Rama 2, passing the construction, it's like glancing up, then in front, then up, then in front, and you wonder how many are doing the same, and if I have to suddenly stop, what chain reaction will that cause Yea ... hwy #4 is sounding a better idea, and sometimes, takes just as long.

Don't you love it, when ignorant people post. NOBODY, NOBODY, is denied healthcare in the USA, whether you can pay or not ... PERIOD Some illegal immigrants even get it for free, no bills pending, afterwards
-
Agree and our USA Soc Sec should be more than enough to live here (for marriage visa), and not taxable, here, or in the USA. Mine's enough for retirement visa requirements. The anti Yank forum never fails to shine in all it's glory. How the hell does a positive thread turn into Yank bashing Hatred or Envy ... just a few more to add the 'that list' 😎

6705 in 2020, (highest ever) and the equals 0.0002% of population. Guessing the only reason to do that, is to avoid taxes. Since other countries don't have that problem, then yes, USA might have more renouncing. Money is a good motivation, as I can live anywhere. But if I was still earning, yea, I'd consider it. UK not that far behind, since USA has about 5X the population. Since not a tax burden to live elsewhere, then they must really hate living in the UK for what it has become, not for financial gain. "2021: 868 people renounced their UK citizenship, a 30% increase from 2020" Let's count how many want to enter the USA vs other countries ... nuff said And for you Brits ... our Soc Sec doesn't get frozen when living in TH or other countries. And for me, that's a 56% increase since retired, about $1,000+ USD more than when I started. Some of you might want to give a 'Sieg Heil' or fly a 'Nazi flag' and see what happens

You can buy rye flour at many of the vendors, and I have, and used, though a bit pricy. Nice change and hard to beat a good rye bread for sandwiches, or just toasted w/butter. Most other flours & grains are available online, some pricy, and some a bit difficult to work with.

Thai transwomen fight over foreign client on Phuket’s Bangla Road
KhunLA replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
They are not ladies, and they are not boys. They're dudes, men in women's clothes and nothing else. Might have breast implants, but IMHO, doubt if any have gone all in, and had reassignment surgery (lopped off their penis), and even if so, probably need to take hormones, and still can't give birth. Not exactly a woman, as still have XY chromosomes. XY & XX is the only factor in determining ones sex. Looks and mental perception is simply a personal choice, not a fact. You can shape a beef burger long instead of round, and put it in a hot dog bun, but it's still a beef burger 😎
