Why are there so many farang lefties in Thailand
Very possible, since much of what is posted by the right leaning, gets reported / deleted. One of the reasons I don't bother, along with repetitive trolling be the lefties. Seem to want to argue till you cave in to their thinking, or just leave the conversation. If I don't join, I no longer need to worry about either.

We have 2 frigs, sm & med. Small is for beverages, and protein mostly. This is what's in the freezer. Still have some salmon filets, 1 pc of pork belly, some frozen fruit/veggie. And a bag of tater tots. A bunch of yeast & curry mix. Some cheeses Med frig is fruits/veggies & leftovers mostly. Also fairly empty now.

Budget (again) & Keto-ish diet
Since 1st of month, and just back from short O&A, frig sort of empty, thought I'd keep track for a month or more. For them naysayer doubting we live on ฿15k a month. Today's shopping, about 12kg of protein. For me also, as going as Keto/Carnivore as I can, as a tester. Cut way back on carbs, and try to stick to proteins & fibrous veggies, and some fruit. A cheat now & then. Eggs, whole milk, some cheeses (mozz & parm), dark chocolate fit into that. Today's Makro haul, mostly protein, and sadly, that's what ฿4240 buys. Hit the fresh market for them veggies. Out of the cart/trolley, not pictured; milk If details matter ...

Considering many of the discussion topics, it may have something to do with TH's tolerance to homo & bisexuals, not that there is anything wrong with either. Live & Let Live in my world ... enjoy getting one's freak on

I've never seen Trump laugh except..
Yep ... a 'to the thread title' answer for me, as assumed it was just another Trump hit piece from OP. Rarely read anything he/she/it posts, the OP or L.

"Regrets" versus "best thing I ever did".
1. very satisfactory 2. far exceeded my expectations 3. Regret ... legally getting married first 3 times (although, no financial loss) ... probably alcohol & drug use, and not retire at 25, instead of 45 Best things ... save 3 youngins from drowning on Phuket ... got adopted by my now adult village orphan (daughter) ... met wife #4

Solar - 8kW Hybrid Inverter w/10kWh (upgraded to 20kWh in Sept. 2022) ESS/battery (not DIY)
A few days shy of 2 years of Solar for us 👍 ... first 3 months of 2022, we were very conservative ... the THB figure would be the high end of PEA cost for same amount of electric produced ... didn't break down & add each month, so rounding down; 12k + 41k + 22k = ฿75k We are O&A a wee bit every year. For instance, 2023, we were away from the house 46 days. This year 2024, already away from house for 34 days.

I just completed this quiz. My Score 60/100 My Time 70 seconds- Is this Apple Video insulting to Thailand ?
Don't know how anyone can be offended by that ... I guess they, crying snowflakes don't watch their own local programming on TV, Not that's embarrassing- Fire at Electric Motorcycle Charging Station in JJ Mall, Chatuchak
👍- Where do you place yourself politically?
Still haven't a clue what a libertarian is, though definitely anti-authoritarian. That I'm a bit right isn't too surprising. EDIT, OK, Libertarian works for me. Wow, got my own label. 'Right leaning Lib'- Electric Vehicles in Thailand
Blame the EV for being overweight I guess he blames his frig when home. And that damn freezer forcing him to eat ice cream all the time. Damn appliances ... After 3+ hours on the road, I'm hungry, and eat sensibly. Live (or die) with your choices.- Electric Vehicles in Thailand
My journeys in our EV vs ICE don't take much longer, if at all, when O&A. I'm going to stop, P, walk the dog, and grab a munch/coffee. I can do that all while the EV is charging back up. Most times the EV is done charging, before I'm done munching or finishing my coffee. Them be the 'facts'. I need that break every 3-4 hrs, no matter what. YMMV- Electric Vehicles in Thailand
Your ignorance shines 😎- Where do you place yourself politically?
Haven't got a clue what left, right, dem, rep or liberal means any more. I'm all for less govt involvement in personal home life, business, regulation, redundant taxes. Totally against foreign aid ... any foreign aid, as long as home country citizens are suffering and theirs a national debt. How does a govt borrow money to give it away. No household can, would or get away with that. I don't believe in sending military overseas, especially as a corporate security force, without being compensated, and on a voluntary basis only. Don't know what label gets puts on me. I believe socialism & a democratic republic can co-exist. If the govt didn't ruin everything it touched (think USA Soc Sec), then they should be in control of the basics. Make them affordable for all, since 'non profit'. Education, healthcare, utilities/energy, (oil & electric). But greed & corruption seems to be all that matters, no matter how many lives it destroys or even kills. So I don't think I fit into any label, left, right or in between. Actually prefer not to be any part of it. I don't believe there even is a far left or right, or left or right. There's the controllers, and there's the allowed perception of left & right for idiots to distract themselves and argue about, while getting royal screwed doing so. You got the <1%, (horrid humans) laughing all the way to the bank. Another <1%, GODsends, knocking there heads against the wall, try to make a better world, for the other 98 ish %, that are total ignorant idiots, so self absorbed with there stupidity, they haven't a clue. Not a fan of humans. Almost embarrassed to be one. Can I identify as an Eagle. Wow ... that was fun I feel better ... did someone say soapbox. I never ...- How is this possible?
Beef is pretty darn healthy and nutrition packed. Leaner cuts probably a bit better. Excess fat and you get 'free' tallow, and better than most cooking oils. I like getting a picanha every now any then. Don't mind all that fat as renders down to a lot of tallow. Hard to find a thick meatier one at Makro, but always buy them when I see 'em. Pretty much the only beef I buy now for steaks or roasts or roast beef for sandwiches. Not sure about a 100% diet of, and can't imagine anyone actually does it. But if going 'all anything', that would be one of the best choices.- Risk
Whoa ... there's a flashback. Use to play that a lot. The game really does represent world politics & domination of. That game brought out the worst in my one brother- Cheap Charlie?
On that, CA ... just saw a YT short, chickie noting LA petrol, $7-$8 gal. I thought nah, BS ... nope. That's just silly, especially for a country with so much oil. Along with record windfall profits. I know CA is probably one of the most expensive (added taxes) but that really is a silly price. Let's say $7.50 = ฿270 = ฿72 per liter Also saw where they charge $.40-$.60 for kWh to charge at fast charger for EV. Again, use $.50 = ฿18 and 2X+ what they charge here / TH. ฿5.5-฿6.5-฿7.5-฿8.5/kWh Add the solar & BEV are silly priced in the USA. On topic ... CC really don't have much to cry about here. Even ฿60 more for that buffet, as stated early, I could make a hell of a chicken salad sandwich, that would be ฿100-150 at an foreigner managed bar/restaurant. And if grilled red/green peppers (not cheap) and fake crab salad is on the buffet, then not too bad at all.- What's the difference between a coffee plunger and drip coffee - and which is best ?
I was too much of a CC at the time, many years past, for Electrolux, and explains a lot. Now a big fan of Electrolux 👍- What's the difference between a coffee plunger and drip coffee - and which is best ?
We use to take our grinder with us Not just grind and put in little baggies. 1 week old coffee won't kill us. Had to get de-snobbed, and lower my nose a bit - Politics, PC, un-PC, any subject, Satire via MEME or Vid (shorts)
