You don't seem to understand the economics of it & everything. Without profit, product exposure, with sponsoring, they wouldn't exist.

Not necessarily concerned about just cancer, but it's the PM2.5 &10 that are deposited on your lung tissue, lower & upper. Possibly causing a bunch of problems, when expose long term: heart disease asthma low birth weight COPD A strong immune system can't fight everything. Or anything, without the proper tools, like sufficient oxygen.

Sponsor funded / $$$ for product exposure. When people stop watching, they'll stop sponsoring, and it will come to a grinding halt. On a small scale of what happens when sponsors pull out or downsize contribution, the Hua Hin Jazz Festival used to be excellent, Heineken sponsored (largest), and then came the 'no alcohol advertising'. Now the HHJf is 25% of what it used to be (4 stages vs 1 now) & sucks in comparison.

Notice today you got a few 3 & 400s showing 😲 That's mind boggling, beside totally F'd up

Really ... who would put on a sporting even, state, national or international, if it wasn't profitable. No sponsors / money, without exposure to their product. Local competitions that only interest the participants (family and friends of), don't exactly count.

Every night almost, while walking the dog, I'm thinking ... "hmm, might rain tonight" ... but nothing. Waiting impatiently for some of that rain Come on already

It's all about the money, and can't see a 'trans' sport organization being profitable. If the trans keep competing in Woman's Sport, that will soon become unprofitable, as fans want to see woman competing against women. Along with with younger woman, will soon develop a 'why bother' attitude, as knowing they simple can't compete against men. Losing competitors to attrition. After a few more years, then they can simply rename the non existent "Woman's Sports" to "Trans Sport", until it goes belly up.

I never really appreciated how clean the air is in USA, especially since they use to talk about the USA's pollution on the news Talk about fear mongering with no substance. Moving to TH can be very hazardous to your health ... or ... beneficial Choose your location wisely, and can actually keep around 100+/- a couple months during smog season, although PM2.5 is usually too high, but ... vs .... pure HELL

Don't use wheat flour.

I rarely use either, and usually only if making a sauce or marinade with them, which is really rare. For spicy, I use powdered Cayenne pepper. For salt flavor, well, just salt. I eliminated all 'added' sugar, and don't even put it in my bread. Knowing I get plenty with my pastries or ice cream. I prefer a little honey as a sweetener anyway.

Interesting that some of the 'new car' manufactures are outselling manufacturers that have been around for decades.

I can't go all keto, but was surprised when peeking at what is Keto-ish foods, and most I like and are available. List of for me, as I omitted the one's I don't eat, or not really available in TH, or where I live. I still need my pastry & bread, so all Keto just wouldn't work for me.

Simple solutions, keep the 2 'sex' competition, birth male/female, OR, everyone compete against everyone, if really want to be fair. Best person wins.

Same every year. They need to move the 'Water Festival', to June or July, some month in rainy season that doesn't have a major holiday. Start celebrating Songkran, the traditional way, before it turned into an embarrassing drunken water festival.

More fear mongering. Gays have been tolerated/accepted in TH way more and longer than most countries. Getting married is just another step of realization, and a way for the ignorant folks to finally take the blinders off. Live & let live Like GOD, gays always have been here, and always will be. Just accept it.

Eat less, burn more, while taking in the proper nutrients. Not exactly rocket science

Hour south of HH, and why we make sure our storage tanks (8) are always topped up before the yearly 'drought time' / water shortage warnings ... JIC Everyone should have at least 1 tank. Along with a very basic solar back up, if only 3kwh system w/small battery. Or an EV you can plug your frig and a fan into. Simple, inexpensive preps for living in 3rd world country.

Dune 2 available. Although I gave up after an hour, as less interesting to me than the first one, which I did manage to finish. I even smoked a doobie, but it didn't help.

Reading comprehension: I can not confirm nor deny, if eggs served on burgers in Calif, as never went to burger shop in CA. Never offered at vendors I visited, in Philly or east coast. And Philly is a sandwich, steaks & Hoagies. When at CA, I dined on seafood & Mexican.

Sniffer dogs are always/usually at the checked baggage belt, when being loaded out of sight of passengers. We use to have a flight from Amsterdam, and almost every flight, they'd find ganga in at least 1 bad.

the 30% would be on fund transferred into the country as income, with income tax due. As far as the purchase, it would be the same as the locals pay. Will put a crimp on large purchases, if money not already in country, and taxable if brought in. I transferred in ฿6M one time. Glad it was way before they started paying attention, and now enforcing the tax code. Imagine paying 35% on that, although I wouldn't have bothered if I thought that was going to happen. Will put a stop to many large purchases, though with the few expats here, don't think it will even be noticed in grand scheme of things. Anyone thinking of, need to transfer over now, before having a long term visa, and meeting the 180 day staying window.

Nah, though can't say I'd do it again, as didn't know at the time, if true, security X-ray, if paying attention, can actually identify money. Though did make sure all notes lined up, so the strip was all aligned, not sure if good or bad Idea Did have paperwork/signed contract, justifying the amount. I've carried large sums, in manila envelops, bottom, with folded paperwork on top. Multiple stacks in briefcase, and would appear to be nothing but paperwork. Only a couple times. All irrelevant, but since you asked, as I know how authorities in USA like confiscating people's money ... unjustly.

If you're prone to loosing things, I guess not. I've travelled with more than that before. To each their own.

THANKS for clarifying as I wasn't sure, and violated that one a few times

Correct, as stated below, no eggs offered 24 or even 18 yrs ago, from any vendor I visited, or even fashionable. Last time there ... 2006 ... for a long weekend. Had to pop in to personally pick up a check. Hopefully never again need to return ... unless picking up a nice check, as that was worth sitting at airports & on planes for 60+hrs.
