  1. Live a completely opposite lifestyle of his and ma's and I'll be much better off. They were chain smoking, alcoholics & bigots and damn embarrassing at times. Aside from the bigot part, they walked it like they talked it, and had a big heart, so big respect there. No hypocrisy.
  2. Battery specs, rating and dimension will help tell you if 'authentic'. Plus Samsung with have a very readable, scannable, bar code with product & serial #. Lishen battery ... that's a good thing, as Samsung does use lishen batteries.
  3. HEY ... why mess with the gals' (or guys') money stream. Working hard and not hurting anyone. Developing their on line business for selling good feelings worldwide The ding dong farang (if farang) feels good about saving the world, or one part of it, then all is good.
  4. Wouldn't call it a hoax, as the virus does appear to be a real thing. Definitely call it a fear mongering, money making scam, knock the middle class down a rung or 2, that did more harm to healthy people than good ... IMHO ... emphasis on healthy, that chose the vaccine. The old & sickly were on borrowed time anyway. One infection away from death, whether the seasonal flu or some other minor bug.
  5. https://www.google.co.th/maps/place/Pandan+Leaves+Home+Cafe/@12.0083631,99.8712321,656m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m8!3m7!1s0x30fc2d2e0612826b:0x723a34e214216f2!8m2!3d12.0083631!4d99.873807!9m1!1b1!16s%2Fg%2F11hflm613x?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDUxNS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D
  6. No need to spend more than 250 baht for a good burger. Even that's a bit much, as a local vendor puts out a very nice Wagyu burger w/fries for 179 baht. Had a Double Whopper yesterday for dinner, and damn it was good. ฿1 per gr of perfectly charred beef (฿249), freshly prepared (assembled) nice & hot. At PTT Park, on hwy 4, just south of hwy 35 intersection. So much better than the Bk @ Bluport Mall / Hua Hin. Yea, should have adjusted the lettuce before snapping, but I was hungry, no time to waste ... 😎
  7. Big oil has been using H cars as a distracting from BEV, for almost 30 yrs. Ever since GM proved you could mass produce an EV (EV 1) and market it, without even trying to, and had a waiting list for customers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_EV1
  8. That's one way to get an innocent snake killed
  9. Agree. have a few Koels around the house, along with lots of other birds. Love listening to them. Had an Open-billed perch in a coconut tree, just outside our wall the other day.
  10. That's a long piece of string ... as depends on the sandwich. Quality ingredients don't really need dressing. Does enhance the flavor of some, though. I think most vendors use way too much, since going cheap on ingredients. Why we rarely order sandwiches out.
  11. Along with all the blonde haired Thais ...
  12. The WLTP's 320 kms rated range for the MG ZS EV is a fallacy. First leg from PKK to BKK yesterday, and the dog didn't even make 142 kms / 2 hr, before barking & whining .... 'LET ME OUT, I got to P, drop a land mind' 320 kms .... don't believe it 320 kms my A$$ ... well, the dogs A$$ Fine, little bitch ... plug in, walk dog ... what the hell, a nice Chicken Massaman sounds good. 46.3 kWh (usable battery) ÷ 13.2kWh per 100 kms = 350 kms Massaman done, now time for Hazelnut coffee, as temp down now, and about to drink. 94% already, and I think I finished coffee @ 97%. We always exceed the WLTP's 320 range at highway speeds, 90 kph, when possible. With CC set @ 90 kph, and AC set @ 22-24C. Usually get 360 kms per full charge around town, at speeds closer to the WLTP testing average speed of 47 kph. Mixed speeds around town, 30-60-90 kph. Since I rarely eat anything that early in the morning, within the hour, needed to stop again 🙄 at any PTT, for an emergency stop. Oh look, a charger here, plug in again, why not. 75% back to 90% before I returned to the car. Actually worked out good, as didn't need charge again, till dinner time, and halfway back home to PKK.
  13. Office dependent, as I didn't need any of that.
  14. Nah ... just not in closet any more. More probably experimenting since the stigma is less.
  15. May want to reread my post, as I didn't make any assumptions or conclusions. Not enough info to do so.
  16. I enlisted in '76', and was still in HS till '73'.
  17. I posted 19 hours ago, and at the time, that was the only info available, 'ship hit bridge', not other info, 'power failure' & etc. Any vids I noticed, simply showed the accident with no real info. Unavailable information, is not ignorance. Same as the lack of info in the OP. What ever makes you feel better. Have a nice day.
  18. "Many Cambodian internet users took to social media urging news outlets and online pages to delete the story, concerned it might deter foreign visitors already nervous about travel safety."
  19. A what if scenario, that isn't going to happen in out life time ... but to answer... no, no, no, pension is irrelevant, as don't need. If BBL not accessible, answered below already ... aside from food, people need clothes.
  20. @DUS no experience with BCH, package looks good though and nice price 👍 I would add ApoB (Apolipoprotein B) blood test, and should be <600 baht. If theirs is a silly price, N Health does them for <600. Or any one of the many blood labs will offer at Bangkok.
  21. @Lorry And nobody called the police ? I would have called, and said someone got shot in the condo, come quick. Had the 2 scammers arrested. At worse, I'd get arrested for calling in a false incident, maybe 1000 baht fine, and well worth it. For the juristic person to even fall for something that stupid is mind boggling, unless he was in on it
  22. That, would be the least of our problems, have more than enough. Especially since, we have no bills, except phone & internet, and car insurance, which we really don't need. USA ... Not much there in IRAs, but I don't need any funds at USA, or Soc Sec. Matter of fact, my SS could end tomorrow, and I'd have no problem staying in TH, till I crapped out. What little time that's going to be Wife already has her retirement fund, and me, a very nice oops fund. We have solar & BEVs. And living on a bartering system wouldn't be a problem if currency was useless. Especially after 1 growing season. As I said, 2 lots we have are empty now. None of this was planned, it just sort of happened. Wife's hobby is gardening & growing food. Along with seamstress, and can make anything. Got a storage room full of material. She makes almost all our clothes now. Me, I just hate monopolies, (PEA & big oil), hence the solar & BEVs. Without those 2 bills, I'm amazed how lttle we need to spend to live on. I actually banked all of my Soc Sec last year, and we lived on the pittance of my pension. Almost 2 yrs in a row, I didn't need Soc Sec, and I use the deposit method for retirement extensions, so not exactly pocket change. All went into her retirement account, along with buying those 2 lots, we ain't using. I am 70 yrs old, and 35 yrs of working & investing, so have a wee bit to show for it. I had no kids, and a DINK when married in USA. Haven't carried a bank note, or interest payment in over 40 years.
