Interesting & informative vid. I drink dark roasted/filtered coffee, so apparently (unplanned) a healthy choice:
-
One reason we went with MG (SAIC), as excellent track record building auto, along with with being 'state owned'.

Hard to criticize any vendor for feeding someone, who says they're hungry and or don't have money. The backpacker on the other hand, deserves nothing but criticism. Why'd you even come here, and go the F home. Hopefully Imm will catch the news-blip and point her in the right direction. They'll give here free room & board

Quite like this YT'er, both informative, and full of practical ideas for simple cooking. If bored and or experimental, wanting to change things up a bit, but still like what you eat, this may give you some ideas. Or just some healthier options, giving what you enjoy eating now a tweak:

Do ==You== Miss the Zombie Life of Your Youth?
KhunLA replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
10 yrs old (1964) and yea, remember the Zombies. My father's ex-boss (mafia - when he played bookie), were the rich folks in the neighbor with all the new toys & monthly pool parties for adult & kids. With everything & anything new. Along with my father working at record company, I think at Glen Mills. Plus my brother was 7 years old, and into Bandstand & Jerry Blavat/Geator with the Heater, and him & buddy were regulars. So I got exposed to all the very early stuff. -
What is the deal with all the skin lasers shops around Bangkok
KhunLA replied to DonniePeverley's topic in Bangkok
Don't know about the beauty aspect; skin, moles, whitening, tats. Daughter had hair removal done, and loved it. No more shaving, legs mainly, as she has a bit more testosterone than most I guess. Considering the state and expense of razors here, more than paid for itself. -
Apparently, no much at all. I agree & think the dual line, is just making up for the increased number of trains, passenger and or freight. Why no real amount of time is actually saved. Don't know where they get 3-3.5 hr estimate, when the schedules are mostly 4 hrs +/-. Only advantage of taking the train, is it's cheaper than driving. Definitely not faster. Used the train line a few times, but not a fan, and can't see myself ever using again.

I think easier would be, maybe going to ebird site, and 'explore photos', putting in you location, to filter what has been photographed there, as they are the one you most likely will see. If see something familiar, hover mouse over and will tell what it is, or open, and give you all the details, what, where & when photo taken. I would think easier the flipping through pages of a book. Since over 1000 bird species here, and only about 5-600 photographed. Some difference in species are so slight, you wouldn't notice. Advantage of book might be, sectioned by beak/bill - diet/seed, insect, bit more carnivore. If you take a photo of said bird, then Glens will usually tell you what it is, or give you a couple options. Cross reference to see if it hangs out in your area. Won't take long before you'll remember the 50 of so species, that you'll probably notice the most. I'm surprised how quick I learned & remember so many. Even the wife can spot & ID them, and she just listens to me yakking about them, while driving around.

Apparently not, as it didn't do much. Matter of fact, I might have killed my grains. Trying another batch w/DutchMill, but not looking good. Off topic... Yes, married and wife from Nong Bua Lamphu, with couple sisters living at Udon Thani. She worked at BKK as graphic designer at clothing company, so living away from family wasn't new. Returned to UT and worked at sis's restaurant at night market, and how we met. 8 siblings, half at NBLP, couple other elsewhere, 1 in USA. She's not the biggest fan of UT either, but did enjoy time with the 2 sisters. When daughter done school, I was leaving UT, with or without her, so up to her if she was coming. We bought the land 3 years prior to contracting to build on it, 2 years ago. Only did so after they opened a Makro here, as the Lotus's here isn't much better than a 7-11. I even joke with her, after I crap out, she can sell up, and move back to where the family is, and I get a .... HELL NO, what are nuts. She's not the usual needy Thai who wants/needs family & friends around her. We only have 1 family of friends here at PKK, one of her hometown friends married to someone stationed at RTAF Wing 5 here. Which is advantageous at times. I even had a yellow book from their house, on base, stating I lived there. How nobody didn't notice it was on the base at the Amphur office is amazing.

I think you need to get O&A more often, as they are fencing in the rail line, and building elevated U-turns all the way down the line, at least the southern line, as that's we live and see it being done. Even a few nice underpasses added already. Though not for anything taller than a pick up or SUV. Guessing, most or all have been completed between BKK & HH, or will be before anything operates in that 120-160 kph range. Most other crossings are near done, between HH and Chumphon. Elevated U-turns, and fencing. many crossings still open, but would only take couple days to fence in. This is just for the dual line. Not sure if those rails will even support a high speed train. Not that they are coming anytime soon. Emphasis of the article is, the confusion of people thinking the dual line is a high speed line. Still fairly obvious, the confusion, considering the replies after reading the article ... or not.

Florida Bill Threatens to Out and Endanger Transgender People
KhunLA replied to Social Media's topic in World News
How is it going to out anyone ? Only person going to see one's DL is the person YOU show it to. Usually a police officer. Who, if you are involved in an accident, and unresponsive, letting the hospital/ambulance know your 'sex' may help in saving your life. Crying about nothing ... AGAIN -
If the one in vid I posted above, then just as labeled ... Asian Koel

It would explain a lot to a lot of people ... ... although ignorance is BLISS, or so I read/hear. With that, we probably shouldn't discuss the subject in the future, if you don't understand the basics of the economics/profits of keeping ICEVs on the road as long as possible. And who that benefits, and it certainly isn't the end customer buying the ICEVs.

Did you ever watch "Who killed the electric car?" It's eye opening. Should be mandatory viewing for anyone debating who controls, in part or whole, the auto industry.

Very nice ... shh ... don't tell anyone Pleasant change from 16/17 yr at Udon Thani. Never really warmed up to KK, though use to pop in when USA Embassy was visiting KK, years past for notary service/income affidavit. Was always a nice treat to stay at Sofitel, now Raja something. Lakeside area was OK, but the rest didn't do much for me. You do still have an very nice restaurant, out by the airport. Greenleaf Hydrofarm & Restaurant ðð

FB Marketplace would be my 1st place to peek.

I understand that distinction, but probably supply some of the parts, and get their franchise fee, so yes, profits all around.

Didn't cook anything today ... but ... ... on a Kefir kick, and first batch turned out very good, and surprisingly, I like the flavor. Fermented milk doesn't have the best ring to it, but it's quite nice. Got the grains (20gr @ āļŋ616) from LAZ, let it ferment for 30 hrs @ room temp, 22-27C, and wrap with towel when AC on and overnight. Can be made with milk powder, and testing that with 2nd batch. Needs to be about 12gr Carbs/Lactose content, which it is (14gr ?). Actually more than DutchMill which I used for 1st batch.

I'm way below KK, down at Amphur Muang, Prachuap Khiri Khan. You could always try making it. Like Mozzarella, it seems easy enough.

Taylor Swift Caught in Crosshairs of Bizarre MAGA Conspiracy Theory
KhunLA replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I'm neither right nor left or support any candidate. I don't vote, as find it a total waste of time. But I can think for myself. Live life for me, the way I want, and what works for me. Might be within their laws ... or not. I don't care. I live with my decisions. To quote some famous person ... "If voting influenced anything, they wouldn't allow people to vote" ... or along those lines. -
All of them at the dealerships, and supplying the part. Come on, you're killing me here. I expect these kind of replies from 'transam'

Yes I know, but amazingly, I've never had a car die from the inside out, rings and or piston wear, that the abrasive 'residue' would effect. Oil did its job just fine as dirty as it was. Now they want you to replace squeaky clean for no other reason than to sell it. And if not doing yourself, charge you for the privilege. It really is silly, especially to an old hand at maintaining my cars in the past, before coming to TH. I basically did everything and almost anything one could think of, including whole engine swap outs. Almost easier than replacing that starter or alternator where the last bolt just won't line up and go in
