One Indian to another ... "Ramaswamy recalled that Kamala Harris leaned onto her Indian American identity when she ran for office in California and added that she wears a different identity when it is politically convenient on a national stage." ""She leaned into it when she ran for office in California, big Asian American and Indian American population. So, she wore that when it was convenient. She's wearing a different identity now when it's politically convenient on a national stage," he added."

Only if forced by law. Or if I can't get away with it. Ex: USA, I never had car insurance. Never had health ins., except 1 regrettable year here/TH. Never had in USA. Wil never have home owners insurance here/TH If not for the nutters wanting to commit suicide here, I wouldn't have car ins. Saying that, I did have an oops, my fault, and damn expensive repair, which pretty much cost as much as all the car insurance I've paid here. So that was a wash, and guess that counts as a savings plan Insurance companies make their profits from 'doom & gloom' what if scenarios, that most simply never happen.

Why is it important to get colorectal cancer screening?
KhunLA replied to CharlieH's topic in Health and Medicine
Assuming the title is a rhetorical statement ... Get it done as early as you please, especially if your insurance will cover 100% of cost. Don't assume that minor trace of blood is from your hemorrhoids I had full coverage in USA, so early 40s had it done, knowing I was going to retire early. Saying colon cancer runs in the family, and you noticed blood in you BM will get the procedure done for you. Had it done here/TH also, about 5 yrs ago, (65 yrs old ?) and 2 polyps removed. Memory serves, about ฿12k, and same for endoscopy done at same time, just for the hell of it. Latter did find a Hiatal hernia, which I passed on simple repair. Explained those 'GERD' symptoms, and simply adjusting diet and sleeping position 'cured' them. Just for the hell of it, if you are not in TH yet, I compared average price of, at Philadelphia area, PA, USA. $1400 mark or ฿50k -

Men dominating 'Women's Sports @ Paris Olympics'
KhunLA replied to KhunLA's topic in Political Soapbox
Just saw a blip of some dude boxing a chick. After 45 seconds, she said screw this. RTnews, so I can't post it. Imagine working your whole life to go to the Olympics, and you have to box some dude ... WTF She even pulled her arm away, at the end, when they raised his as winner. Good for her. MSM will probably bury it for as long as they can. From X, I think that's allowed: -

We have PEA's digital meter on the pole. With intermediate on/off switch between the house and one in the breaker box. Turning off either will stop the 10kWh charge. As stated, only started after the 2nd ESS add. Inverter set at 'NO Export' and inverter does not show any export, so it's not coming for us. I just like seeing the 99/100% top up vs 96/97/98% ... And those 10kWh only jack the PEA bill up to ฿38 vs ฿26, I think, since we're still connected w/conx fee, whether using or not.

Over that 2 year period, we used 854 PEA units/kWh. Most when returning from O&A, as I like to return with about 20% battery on the EV. We'll use solar, to charge back up, but if weather bad, or need to go somewhere the next day, then we'll use the grid. The EV wall charger is the only thing on the grid. Don't know why, but we use about 10 kWh a month, no matter what, even if never charging the EV. Installer & Deye can't figure out why, we use about 1 kWh ever 3 days. Also the ESSs top up to 100% more consistently if the grid is on. If I turn the grid 'off', then ESS tops up to 96-98%. This only after the 2nd battery pack was added. That's a head scratcher, but I don't care. Didn't look at last 3 month's bill, but here usage over the 2 years.

Why are there so many farang lefties in Thailand
KhunLA replied to susanlea's topic in Political Soapbox
Very possible, since much of what is posted by the right leaning, gets reported / deleted. One of the reasons I don't bother, along with repetitive trolling be the lefties. Seem to want to argue till you cave in to their thinking, or just leave the conversation. If I don't join, I no longer need to worry about either. -

KhunLA replied to susanlea's topic in Political Soapbox
Considering many of the discussion topics, it may have something to do with TH's tolerance to homo & bisexuals, not that there is anything wrong with either. Live & Let Live in my world ... enjoy getting one's freak on- 375 replies

"Regrets" versus "best thing I ever did".
KhunLA replied to swissie's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
1. very satisfactory 2. far exceeded my expectations 3. Regret ... legally getting married first 3 times (although, no financial loss) ... probably alcohol & drug use, and not retire at 25, instead of 45 Best things ... save 3 youngins from drowning on Phuket ... got adopted by my now adult village orphan (daughter) ... met wife #4 -
As if not asked enough times already but I'll play & repeat myself ... ... for USA ... Trump ... for Me ... Harris ... for the world ... Trump, as doubtful he'll continue the proxy wars, or start a new one

I've never seen Trump urinate or defecate, but I'm pretty he does both

A few days shy of 2 years of Solar for us 👍 ... first 3 months of 2022, we were very conservative ... the THB figure would be the high end of PEA cost for same amount of electric produced ... didn't break down & add each month, so rounding down; 12k + 41k + 22k = ฿75k We are O&A a wee bit every year. For instance, 2023, we were away from the house 46 days. This year 2024, already away from house for 34 days.

Is this Apple Video insulting to Thailand ?
KhunLA replied to CharlieH's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Don't know how anyone can be offended by that ... I guess they, crying snowflakes don't watch their own local programming on TV, Not that's embarrassing -
