  1. Maybe they don't price gouge, per se, and don't raise their retail prices till old stock is gone, and increase prices when newer, higher price stock is received. Unlike some vendors, as any whiff of increase prices in the news, and next day retail price of old stock matches the new rumored price. Once order is placed, that price IS the price. Unless they want to lose customers.
  2. Guessin' in this neighborhood:
  3. We do, as wife cooked up 2 large pot of them the other day. 'Geez, got enuff honey'. She actually got the hankering for baked beans, not me. Too much work for me, without a pressure cooker, although, I'll help her eat 'em. May have to steal some, make some chili, as not a fan of kidney beans. Usually my chili is bean-less.
  4. Not a big bean eating market where I am. Just back from Makro, 2 brands, Brooks, and SW, no Heinz. Few farangs here, though seen a lot of late.
  5. RU, getting slaughtered by UA, who is touring the west, begging for armaments, from countries that admit, they can't or won't supply. That's funny. Do you hear yourself ? Don't see UA on this list: https://www.jagranjosh.com/general-knowledge/list-of-top-10-armies-of-the-world-1645711072-1 RU & Putin are shaking in their boots: Paraphrased from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_level_of_military_equipment
  6. That 1 of 15k+ vehicle deaths a year is news at all ... now we need to know the sexual preference of victims.
  7. Good movies fiction to reality: Fahrenheit 461 Equilibrium ... it's only a matter of time, feelings will be illegal ????
  8. So in other word, they have no idea what it weighed when or if it hit the ground.
  9. Who writes or believes these op-eds ???? Russian certainly doesn't need military help from China. Putin doesn't have to do anything to 'destabilize' EU, as it's a mess all by itself. "America says" ... trustworthy source ... nuff said
  10. So same same ... nothing new or different ???? Free advert as a news-blip ????
  11. Impressive ... a UK naval ship that's actually sea worthy ????
  12. Seriously, wet season. AQI should always be <50 Burn season has been krap for the 20+ yrs I've been here. Only difference, it's months longer now...not better. If I was forced to live in Krung Thep or north of, I'd leave the country or be on holiday half the year down south, where AQI is usually <100.
  13. Great actor ... politics, not so much. Agree with some of his past thoughts, but not this time. USA should have never been involved with UA over 10-15 yrs ago while orchestrating yet another failed regime change...IMHO
  14. All things equal/justice, any asset or contract in marriage/business, when adjudicated can by compensated for, one way or the other, if deemed so. One just has to decide if worth the hassle or expense to bother with the courts ... or simply avoid, and rent, buy a condo, if you have doubts already. Obviously so,, since asking, so why do here, what you probably wouldn't do in you home country. Because this one loves you, states the guy on #4 marriage ... ???? If still going forward, make sure your usufruct is for use & modify. If a whiff of pending divorce, you could always bulldoze the house, as you right, to modify ????
  15. A contested divorce has to be adjudicated, as with all contested contract. With appeal process, so no guarantee of outcome for either party. You could always do the 3rd party lease to trusted friend, but again, that would be scrutinized in court. Again, if you have to ask these questions, since not sure of a lasting relationship with partner .... rent, or consider any investment, a gift for putting up with you. Hopefully longer than your 1 yr visa lasts or worse, tourist visa ???? If a long distance relationship ... oh well, som naa na, if you're that stupid. Met a few farangs, 'Oh yea, have Thai wife' ... 'see her 4 weeks a year' ???? "Oh him, that's my cousin, he stays here when you're not ... to help around the house" ????????????
  16. Yea, you would think. A lot of USA brands are made here/SEA (Malaysia/Indonesia/Singapore/ASEAN countries) but sell at silly import prices, as if taxed & shipped from far far away to get here. Simple price gouging ... what a scam. Most really not worth buying at their silly prices. Local brand just as good sometimes, and possibly coming out of the same factory. Nobody seriously believes ARO (Makro brand) has various food or dry good factories for their 'brand' product. They simply contract out, same as familiar name brand product. Use to work at a 'flux' factory, and we put the same stuff in 10 different jars with 10 different brand names on them. License and or distributed by is not 'made by'. HQ'd in USA/UK is not 'made in USA/UK.
  17. So it wasn't a 'nullify' fee, just a 'hold your hand' fee from someone helping you do simply paperwork/jump the Q.
  18. It's the updated price from their site, which you order from, so assume up to date. You'll know before you 'hit submit & order'.
  19. Disms them, as 'too good t be true' applies. I ordered one, ridiculously cheap, and took a while to get a refund. I guess most don't, or don't bother. Those 'sponsored' ads seem to be outright scams. $1-2-3000 USD items for 1/10th, or more of the real price. Google the image of the product and see the real price.
  20. Heinz has factories in China ... read them labels ???? "In 1999 Heinz (Qingdao) Food Company Ltd was founded to produce infant jar foods, as well as to produce and sell more than 20 categories of Heinz western sauces which are frequently used in western restaurants. Besides Heinz ketchup, Heinz western sauces include famous Heinz baked bean, Heinz white vinegar and Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce."
  21. Insulting dogs is not cool ... ... so nothing has changed, still an overpriced tourist trap. Those that survived on the overflow from the few higher end places catering to the Hiso s have closed up, since no overflow for a few years & now. There was a decent kebab vendor, and always a long Q, but that's about it. Good for fireworks NYE.
  22. Goes both ways. Do you really want to be obligated to pay 30 years, if the relationship ends badly. The tax part of it is minimal.
