Apparently you don't, if you think they are the same.

I wouldn't care if they threw all the foreigners out, inclusive, as motivate me to play nomadic back in USA. Something I really want to do, but too lazy to do. Saw a good part of the USA, easy working for airlines, but envy my brother a bit, as he visited every national park in all 48 lower states. Something I'd love to do in a RV. Only issue, renting one for couple years, would cost the same as buying one, and that would depreciate a bit more than I willing to give up. Although a 50% return wouldn't be the end of the world. Then sell up here or not ? Too much to voluntarily deal with. But if hand force (never going to happen), that would be my course of action. After couple of that, then think about returning to SEA, which probably wouldn't happen. 20+ years is enough. This one is way too cool, or something similar.

Yep ... that works for me also ????

Pool boy/toy boy ... without the pool ... ... someone has to do it ????

Most powerful guns (kick wise) I had were; 357 mag 8mm Mauser Toss up which would do more damage, the 8mm or .223 (Mini 14). Wouldn't want get hit by either.

A damn tasty cheeseburger, washed down with a Snowy (beer), 490ml which I didn't finish. On the veranda, listening to the waterfall, watching the wife mow the lawn, with hedge clippers ... ????

Last 4 are the ones that matter, as self employed.

If you read the link, apparently not, it was a comparison of EV (cars) vs e-scooters & e-bikes. So extremely accurate opinion. <snip>

I was referring to the other 'flying club', where that one last thrill, ends with a bang/thud, on the pavement below, while on holiday. Then all the AN dicks can theorize your LB partner through you off after the house & car were bought and paid for.

SS will ask you where you want your SS DD (direct deposit), simply give them your Thai BkkBank info. Very simple process, and no need to go through NY branch of BkkBank. I did it in TH, and as suggested, once account set up here, pass info bank gives you to SS department @ Manilla Embassy. Very easy to do. DD received first week of the month, usually on the 3rd or 4th of month, our time/TH. Thai & USA holidays don't interfere with DD. I would set up a Soc Sec online account while in the USA. May come in handy. As hard to do from TH. Your 1099 for tax purposed will be sent to address on file. Unless additional income, taxes shouldn't be an issue, especially since not a US citizen. Unless you still got something, generating income, going on in USA.

How do they get 2.79k subscribers. Are their really that many idiots bored with their life. I didn't make past 1 minute. Another OMG .... everything is great YT'er. Probably find all the hidden gems ????

Flying Club ????

My partners have always been much younger than myself. 5-18 yrs in USA, 20 yrs +/- here/TH. Never dated anyone over 30 in the USA, not really by design, just the way it was. My daughter (Thai) likes the idea that her BF is younger than her. Chip off the ol' block.

Don't worry about the USD unless it dips below 30, which is rare, and simply enjoy it, when it breaks 35. Y'all stress too much. It's 33 +/- for too long to even worry. A good place to be.

Yea, people in Isan eat it, surprise surprise.

As long as I can remember. Does anyone need to tell you petrol exhaust, benzene or diesel isn't healthy. Your nose know, and body reacts to it, more so with diesel. Diesel & home heating oil is about the same, and can actually be used to hold you over, if heating oil isn't available, or a Q to be delivered (one of those crap jobs I had). That coats the flue of a chimney with cancer causing creosote. So yea, I've know that since I was a chimney sweep, back in the late 70s.

I didn't say it wasn't part of 'isan cruisine', but I wouldn't call it 'Isan food'. Grilled chicken didn't originate in Isan, or served up in any way special. The fact that it's sold in Isan, doesn't designate it as a type of chicken in TH or anywhere else. I buy grilled chicken here/PKK, and nobody calls it Isan chicken. It's simply 'grilled chicken', same everywhere in TH. Not like 'Hat Yai Chicken' ... deep fried & heavy on the garlic.

No, and you proved my point, Isan chicken is just that, grilled chicken, and IMHO, lacking any distinct 'Isan flavor' It's simply grilled chicken, delicious, as any grilled chicken is, as one of the hardest things to screw up. But doesn't taste any different than any other grilled chicken I've eaten worldwide, and if not, one of the blandest. As you point out, other areas have different spices they use, and all better than just a basic grilled chicken.

Brining, and marinating chicken, and even the sugar water some add, isn't top secret. It's done basically the same, worldwide. You really need to get out more.

I've found grilled chicken everywhere in TH, and the rest of the world I've visited. Silly to say it's 'Isaan food'. Even green papaya salad is a stretch to call it 'isaan food', except for the over use of chilis & maybe pla ra. Guess you've never been to the Caribbean, and I've had papaya salad on numerous islands, and Yucatan peninsula.

I'm leaning toward 'user error' ... ... detached battery ? From the link: ... "Firefighters confirmed sparks spread from a detached lithium-ion battery from a luxury car to four nearby cars parked at the airport about 8:30pm." ... "It is unclear why the battery was removed from the car prior to the fire." And this tidbit ???? ... "Superintendent Adam Dewberry from Fire and Rescue NSW said that while battery fires were not uncommon, electric vehicles were not a concern for authorities.

He does have, as he sells as needed. Could take 3 months, develop a trading strategy, mock trading, then if good, start playing with real money. UK markets/time zone, gives him time during normal hours to do something else while learning, if needed.

Diesel truly is a disgusting & unhealthy (for everyone) fuel: source

Yes, that's been proven/direct link for a long time.... IMHO Diesel really should be only used for commercial vehicles, if at all.
