When it comes to abortion rights, you should be scared
KhunLA replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I don't remember a national election when abortion / right to life, or laws to regulate, was not an issue. And it will be forever, same as it was before & after Roe vs Wade. it's what politicians do, argue and talk about issues that have been resolved with laws (state & local), that they have no control over, with 'what if' scenarios, instead of actually fixing problems on a national/federal level, that need fixing. Simple distraction from their failed administrations. -
Did he ? ... NO Was that the charge, or 'abuse of power', as there is a difference. And he was originally sentence to 8 years. That sentence commuted, which is available to and criminal sentence, if lucky enough to have done. Embezzlement & fraud is a different crime, and carries a different sentence. And I believe a minimum of 2 yrs for each incident, so if committing fraud, 25 times, then a 50 yr sentence would be correct, whether served concurrent or not would be a major issue.

Was your father a louse?: Hold the Chicken!
KhunLA replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I celebrated when my father passed ... nuff said. The more I raised kids, the more of an A$$, I realized he was, and unfit to be a parent. -
Obama & LB Johnson ... that's takes any credibility away. Johnson was so embarrassed (as he should have been) with himself, he refused to run again ... nuff said. Bush 2 & Nixon should be on the bottom of the list

I mix up the Dairy Rich milk every few days, and less effort than a cup of coffee, or same as instant. Water in jug, add milk powder & stir. Put in frig. Keir is easy enough, bought the grain on LAZ, and simply add milk, wait 24 hours. Push through a fine strainer into a bowl, put grains back in the jar (Mason type). Takes all of 15 ish minutes, but does have to be done everyday. Started off with 20gr of grains, and now have 30+ (two weeks later), and probably why it's as thick yogurt now, after a day in the frig. Actually preferred vs thick milk. Natto, now that's a bit more involved, since no pressure cooker, and wife does that. Soak soy beans 12-18 hrs, then cook the beans for about 4 hrs in slow cooker, till squishable soft. Then ferment in the Natto cooker, for simplicity, with added Natto or Natto spores, for 18 hours. Basically, kept at a low temp, same as making yogurt but that only takes 8-10 hrs. Only bought the 'cheap A$$' Natto cooker, so no need to pay attention to temp & time of or fermentation of the beans. And doesn't tie up the oven, as where most people stick it while fermenting. Natto cooker can be used to make yogurt, Natto or Sake, with presets for 8/18/36 hrs, respectfully. Natto is what you really want, for K2 and clearing your blood vessels. Along with good gut bacteria/probiotics. Need to take care if already on any heart or BP, thinner or anti clotting meds, as it does the same thing ... naturally. Screw Big Pharma, pushing their side effecting poisons ... DISCLAIMER: I am NOT a DOC, so consult your doc before mixing Natto (nattokinase) or any supplements with your meds

Ready-to-Drink Fresh Milk Prices Approved to Increase
KhunLA replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Yes, and simple enough. 6 L per bag for us, 165gr of DR / 835gr of water vs their recommended 140gr / 860gr ratio. Last a few days, as I usually only use for cereal. I drink kefir as a beverage & use as a yogurt. Strange, I still buy Magnolia fresh milk, to make Kefir, as does a better job than my preferred DutchMill. Milk powder milk doesn't seem to work good with my Kefir grains. That's a daily prep, explained at this link. -
I make a batch of Kefir every day. Actually starting to make more than I can drink/eat in a day. Use Magnolia 100% fresh milk, to make Kefir, as does a better job than my preferred (taste wise) DutchMill. Milk powder milk doesn't seem to work good with my Kefir grains. Make every 24 hrs for 2-3 cups yield of Kefir, using about 700ml of fresh milk. Kefir is really thick, yogurt thick, after 6+ hrs in frig. Next day, and I can't even poor it out of the glass. Kefir packs more nutrition than yogurt, especially the very desirable K group (K1-2-3-4-5), K2 to keep them blood vessels clear of calcium build up. Natto providing even more K2, along with good gut bacteria, same as Kefir.

Hydrogen has been around for at least 20 yrs, so any wonder why it hasn't been developed. Personally I think all the 'talking' about hydrogen cell is a ploy, to delay people from buying BEVs, as long as possible. As they haven't, and I don't think they have any real plans to use hydrogen for personal vehicles, as seems a really stupid idea. But by delay ignorant people from buying BEVs, they make more profits over the next 5-10 years. Especially if they buy yet, another petrol burner. As once someone does buy a BEV, now or next couple years, they'll be asking themselves ... "damn, why didn't I buy one sooner". I consider it one of my best purchases, even with selling the only 2 yr old ICEV, as nothing really loss on the higher depreciation of short owned car. If anything, nothing but gains, thanks to TH & solar. Even if having to pay 5 baht at house to charge, it's a thrifty buy.

Ready-to-Drink Fresh Milk Prices Approved to Increase
KhunLA replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Yea, that was a shocker, as I was there just last week pricing Dairy Rich, to work out best buy. And it was 265. Thought I'd check Makro online before posting the above, and yikes, glad I did. A 12% increase in 1 week. Still see it online for 228-ish, but they add about 40 baht shipping, although as stated, some if ordering 2, it's still the same shipping charge. When I keyed in 3 or 4, shipping increased, but not doubled. And ... delivered to the house. Wife found LAZ or Shoppe vendor, 2600 (corrected price) for box of, and called them direct. Same price, but no shipping charge, so worked at best, and we'll use 12 pcs with no problem. Expires next year anyway. Happy Shopping -
Appears to have one close to mass production, maybe, in the coming future with impressive specs:

Why would you pay extra, assuming something that last 100 yrs instead of 25,when after 25 yrs, its not longer usable. You're at the doc, he gives you a choice of pacemaker, at 75 yrs old. You can have pacemaker A, proved to last 25+ years, or pacemaker B, known to last 50+ year, but one cast 2x as much. Which do you chose ? OR ... if all things being equal, you pull into your carport, pug in your BEV, takes all of 15-20 seconds, and unplug when topped up or simply ready to leave, another 15-20 seconds. That vs making a stop at hydro station, Q'ing, waiting for staff then paying, still takes 5-10 minutes, same as petrol. Whether station is along your daily or weekly routes, (not for us, as a special trip needed, due to U-turns), it would still be less desirable to have hydrogen. Only advantage when O&A, which most don't do regularly. Total time in a year, BEV still less time spent topping up. NOT seeing much of an advantage, and simply another fuel using too much energy to produce, transport, store and delivery to end customer.

Ready-to-Drink Fresh Milk Prices Approved to Increase

Makro carries the Diary Rich milk powder, and makes 7 L if following directions (860gr w/160gr DR). I haven't found it cheaper online, with shipping added in, unless buying a box of 12. Which the wife found. Some vendors charge same shipping for 2 bags, so works out cheaper than Makro. Last time at our local Makro (฿265). Just saw it on Makro website, for ฿300, and a silly price. Good for test run, see if you like it. I think it tastes great, compared to store bought fresh. -
That would be impractical, unless it was universally removeable, and able to put in another vehicle, universally, and not just the same make car. BEV batteries will probably outlast the rest of the car (aside from motors), for most people's driving habits. But can be repurposed to solar systems. Not many people put 500k-1M kms on a car, or want to keep one that long, whether it lasts or not. On the low end, that's 25 years for my wife, and she's 47. So unless she gets bored of it, that's probably her last car. No way she'll be racking up 20k kms a year after I crap out. Lucky if she'll put 10k kms on a year.

Not only does it taste better, but only ~฿32 per liter when buying a box (฿2700) of 12 one kg bags of Dairy Rich (full cream milk powder), and , delivered to your house. ~฿38 per liter if mix the ratio like I do. Get 6 L from 1 kg bag vs 7 L recommended ratio powder/water. -
Hasn't progressed very far in the past 20 years. In the movie 'Who Killed the Electric Car", it was being pushed as alternative to BEVs, With countrywide (USA) promo tour,& car demo performing. Arnold test driving (2004) H Hummer. Screenshot from that movie, 2006, and yep... Toyota was pushing Hydro, even back then. Almost 20 yrs of progress since and ... Hard to believe ignorant people believe anything the fossil fuel conglomerates are pushing is to benefit anything except their profits.

Reads like some countries universal healthcare is literally killing people (letting people die) from delayed treatment ... IMHO 5 months to over a year for treatment, what could go wrong. Great system

@nikmar At this stage, not too much to be concerned about. At 16 and depending on weight class, they really can't do much damage. Make sure they use proper head gear for training & bouts. He'll either love it and excel at it, or realize it's not for him. Only if he continues, he'll need to educate himself with the risks of repetitive concussion. May want to download the movie 'Concussion', have him give that a watch. Not familiar with Muay Thai weight classes, but Yank boxing, and no major damage for youngins till 160 lbs, and then it's classed Super Heavyweights, and they pack a punch, as do Heavyweights, but 160 being the limit, unlike SHs.

Air quality in most of the country to improve for a week
KhunLA replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
You must have missed the memo ... indigenous folks are now allowed to move, and millions do. Even them older folks, as wife has 8 siblings, and only 3 remained in same province, and most of their offspring are now in the larger metros. Our daughter left Udon Thani ASAP, and doesn't even live with us, and chose Krung Thep to live at. We actually don't know many people that remained in the Amphur they were raised or went to school at. Actually a problem for the farming villages, and many don't return back, for planting & harvesting season as the did years past. -

Yep, either that or adapting EV battery packs to solar systems.

They must be funded by the fossil fuel folks, wanting you to use more. 15.6 to 20C is damn chilly. I let the dog out for midnight 'P', and it's chilly out there. Yet they recommend people to stay out of water at those temps (60 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit 15.6 to 20 degrees Celsius), as it may cause hypothermia. If you need blankets on to feel comfy, then the temp is too low. And yes, I understand emersion in water is different than ambient air temp, but <20C is chilly.
