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.

They've been around for decades, just most people are smart enough to avoid them.

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.

Food for thought, and listing is actually true, googled, although the house is only 22.8k sq ft

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.

Have you seeked counseling and couldn't find ? Seems to more than a few:

Whoa, even I would be cold, and wife would have to sleep with a parka on. We keep around 26/27.

You can repeat it as much as you want, it's never going to make it true. So you didn't read the links I posted ... big surprise.

Humans are corrupt ... read THIS ... and THIS

Science doesn't tell us anything. Humans do, and humans are corrupt IMHO Remember, follow the science: ... safe & effective ... if vaccinated, can't get covid ... if vaccinated, can't spread covid .... masks work ... coldest winter ever ... hottest temps ever ... oh wait, we only have records for few couple hundred year, and the planet has been here how long ? ... the ice caps will melt ... give them guys a noble, the science was so good ... science says eggs are bad for you .... science says oops, eggs are good for you ... AZT will protect you from HIV ... margarine is better for you than butter ... oops again, enjoy your butter ... a little bit of alcohol is good for you ... oh wait, any alcohol is bad for you ... let's not even mention tobacco products, as how F'g stupid can anyone to believe that BS ... 1973, the world is running out of oil, and apparently everything else ... Lee Harvey Oswald was the only shooter ... there's just not enough bandwidth, as the list is endless Science doesn't lie ........... but humans do, and that's who is telling you ... IMHO

Agree, and I did most of that stuff before I got here/TH. Still took me a few years to 'mature' after I got here The kid slowed me down quite a bit, but that is a whole other adventure, and one of the longest & best. Not allowed to kill yourself, when you're suppose to be a responsible person, and a whole other person depends on you.

1 cycle is 1 full battery charge to zero. So if you run your battery down to 50%, two times and top it up, two times, that 1 cycle. So 1 full discharge and charge back up. We get about 360 kms every full charge (46.3 kWh), hence the #s in red, and 900k kms ball park #. That's not a dead battery, just one that no longer holds full capacity. They estimate 80%, but I think that's a bit positive thinking, though hope I'm wrong. I did calculate <5% at the 160k kms mark, so 80% @ 500 kms would be real nice. We average about 300 kms at highway speeds, which is usually an average 80 kph over a 3 hr period, if lucky. Driving 90-110 kph, when possible. So after about 3+ hrs, and 250 kms, we usually top back up to 90-95%, as the last 5% goes in a bit slow. 900k kms is a negative #, and if she gets 500k kms, that should last her forever, as she would rack up the kms that much after I'm gone. Lucky if she'll put on 10k kms a year.

Not a 'dream' but sleeping in every Thai province, which I manage to do at most of them. Use to dream about hitting the PowerBall, but stopped playing, Living the Dream now, so just another O&A will do, and about as adventurous as I'm going to get. All the adventure and or thrill seeking stuff was done days past. Aside from a location or 2, which I'm too lazy to bother with, I think I checked off most of that 'bucket list'.

When I first got here, I might spend 5 nights at one spot, and explore the areas nearby. Now, rare I spend a 3rd night anywhere. More so, because I've been to most places, and just pop in the area to seen anything new. Actually enjoy the journey more than the destination most times. Though after a couple legs, it's nice to kick back for a couple days on the balcony and enjoy the landscape, and why a view is always a priority. Also don't like being away from the house more than 14 days, and most O&As are around the 10 day mark. Kind of mid country, and don't go N that much, unless to see the daughter. 10days is a nice loop around the south, unless we hop over to Phuket, which I can see happening in the future. Not until the next pandemic

A conservative 2500 cycles, as some estimate as much as 10k cycle. The wife will be very happy with 500k kms TransAm knows that, as I've replied to him with the same info so many times. Why I simply chuckle at him and don't bother replying. Simply ignore anyone who thinks 2500 cycles isn't a very real probability.

Spotted Owlet - Athene brama

Car, as I have no desire to be on any scooter, any size, for more than an hour. O&A in comfort is more important, though scooter wouldn't work well with a dog anyway, aside from all the other crap we take with us. My dream ... no pollution; land, air or sea HEY ... I can dream can't I

TAT has a tough job trying to convince Muslims or any folks to come to TH, beside the poorest of the poor of the international travelers. IMHO From my reading, seems much better offerings just about everywhere, except for those thinking about traveling on the cheap. Just seems other destination are more modern (if wanting), but definitely cleaner. The amount of trash and unmaintained building here/TH is quite surprising. A simply coat of paint would do wonders.

We await the next silly reason not to buy new or EVs. Actually, I can only think of 2 reason not to buy either: ... you simply don't want one, for whatever reason, simply happy with what you have now. ... you can't afford one, although Neta V starting @ 499k baht, or decent ICEVs starting @ ~600k baht, really shouldn't be a financial burden on most people/families. Even if financing, as interest rates are usually less than inflation rates for new cars. Keep it till it dies, if wanting to get your money's worth. Not many new cars won't last 20+ years if you take care of them. I've owned cars 10-15-20+ years old, as in the budget at the time, but still ran fine till I killed them. I had a 1950 Buick in 1975, making that car, 4+ yrs old than myself at the time

"Risk for chronic fatigue soars among those who had COVID-19, study says" Are they the same patients that got vaccinated ... Which ... chicken or egg came first ... comes to mind. Just us unvaccinated people who haven't had covid

Aside from childhood bullying or disagreements, as adults what environment do y'all live in, or situations you put yourself in, where fighting is even a topic. Self defense from a criminal or a nut case are the only real ones I can think of, and chance of either is extremely rare.

Agree, depends on a few factors. For us, only owning an ICEV for 2 year, and probably the period of the most depreciation, it wouldn't make sense to sell and buy a new car. BUT ... getting a govt incentive, on new EV, along with having solar, then the incentive and never buying petrol again offsets any present or future depreciation of the ICEV, and saves money everyday after on operating cost. Selling and buying new made complete sense and saved, will save quite a bit of money. Even with no solar, it would be the right thing to do. And .. you get to drive a much better performing car.
