Here’s Why the Science Is Clear That Masks Work
KhunLA replied to onthedarkside's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
That's your comeback .. thank you for confirming what I stated. all things being equal, of course one would assume more is breathed in directly from the nose & mouth but it certainly did NOT state, it won't come in through the eyes. quite the opposite. " whereas infectious particles that enter through our eyes have to take a more roundabout route" Take the expressway or the scenic route, you still end up at the same destination. -
Here’s Why the Science Is Clear That Masks Work
KhunLA replied to onthedarkside's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
Does anyone need a credible source for that. Basic human biology. Do I need a source to confirm the sun comes up in the east & sets in the west. Eyes, tears, tear duct nasal cavity ... did you not pay attention in class. Here's a visual: -
Here’s Why the Science Is Clear That Masks Work
KhunLA replied to onthedarkside's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
Since your eyes drain down into you nostril cavity, any covid infected droplets in your eyes, then simply bypass the mask, and are breathed in. Again, making mask without eye protection...useless. -

New climate study raises alarm for Asian Megacities
KhunLA replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Yes, I know. I wish people would stop trying to explain common sense things to me. It's the weather and the el nino & la nina are part of the ever change weather. Comes in waves, some long, some not so long. Just as there was a steady rise in NOAA data, and now leveling off. What's next ???? NOBDOY KNOW But the doom & gloom crowd always stop and quote the negative, forget to add, since 2014....2015 temps have leveled. And the extreme negative forecast is: ... 3.4mm ... that is so scary, don't build surfside if you plan on living more than 100 years more ... 1.5C next 100 yrs... maybe ... I don't even need to buy sunscreen for that one -
???????????? OK, not really funny, as some are there from unexpected circumstance beyond their control. But with some of the rents my brother has quoted back at that foreign land I used to live, USA, it is mind boggling how some can afford to rent. Use to be 25% of income for rent, now it seems 50-75% is needed, with the rest toward utilities & petrol to get to your rut. Don't want to be on that hamster wheel. If returning to states, think I'd go upscale on the RV instead of buying a house & paying RE Taxes, and simply live in National Parks or park close by, since free for us ol' folks. Not sure what charges would be for plugging in. All solar'd up, even a nice van conversion would work. Use free showers.

How hard is it to re-sell cars in Thailand?
KhunLA replied to Startmeup's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
I found the tent folks offer the insured value, maybe. Then compare that to what they are asking on FB Marketplace for your area, and you have a ballpark of H/L price. -
If haven't already, could ring up or msg Boy Blues Bar and ask. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063491892947

Will gold shops buy non-Thai 18k gold
KhunLA replied to Sandboxer's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
That's what it was worth to the person buying/selling. All that matters. Every gold shop posts the daily buy/sell rate. -
New climate study raises alarm for Asian Megacities
KhunLA replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I'd call that old dated news, as from 2015 onward, temps have leveled off, on average. actually dipped, though not enough worth mentioning. Leveling off, on average is though. NOAA data, and we'll see what the future holds. Stay tuned, if you really care, and plan on living another 1 or 200 yrs. That 1.5 ish C seems to be on hold for now. -
Now heavy rain across middle Thailand and into Myanmar
KhunLA replied to steven100's topic in General Topics
Thank you ... even heavy for about 1 minute, so solar panel cleaned again, for 2nd time this month ???? Looks like an annoying, but welcomed on/off drizzle the rest of the day. I'll take it, as much better than the damn water bill we just got. ฿1228 ... that better be one productive garden. -
What you will do if it will happens to you??
KhunLA replied to Cuadrado's topic in Rent or Buy a Condo
Lesson learned. As BM2 stated ... good advice. -
Rule on running engine while refueling
KhunLA replied to itsari's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Since we rarely got out of the car when refueling, didn't realize there were that many inconsiderate people in the world ... silly me. They put the placard on your car, asking you to turn off ... nuff said I worked at gas station as a teen, bad enough you have to huff the petrol fumes, let alone the exhaust from cars. Really does make me wonder how some folks see themselves, when they interact with people every day. Are they really that consciously inconsiderate or just haven't a clue just how inconsiderate they are. -
Will gold shops buy non-Thai 18k gold
KhunLA replied to Sandboxer's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Also have sold Thai gold back to shops, at a nice profit I might add. I think first purchase (2000) was 3k or 6k/baht, now it's 30+k. Last time bought/sold, think it was 10k & 12k. -
Will gold shops buy non-Thai 18k gold
KhunLA replied to Sandboxer's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
If buying, you wouldn't get much. Who would buy a used 18k ring here. Few Thais, just ignorant farangs. Only HiSo Thais bother with gemstones, and they wouldn't buy 2nd hand. You rarely see Thais with 18k ring or with stone settings. More into gold bands/rings, necklaces & bracelets. Obvious by any wall & display cases in the shops, as small part dedicated to rings w/settings. A lot of the customers, gold buying mindset is, IF I ever need to, I can always sell it for what I pay at least. Not with 18k, losing investment. -

Will gold shops buy non-Thai 18k gold
KhunLA replied to Sandboxer's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
to the title ... doubtful, as almost impossible to sell. -
That's 1 runoff into the gulf solved, maybe. How about all the rest of them ? If swimming at HH beach, or most of gulf beaches fronting any development, prepare for an ear infection. IMHO I no longer bother, or if so, the head stays out of the water. And that Ban Krut or Thung Wua Laen. Anywhere near HH ... hell no, even locally at Ao Manao/PKK, lesson learned.

Even if the masks work, (they don't IMHO), unless wearing complete eye protection, they are useless. Again ... IMHO -
