  1. 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 ... ????
  2. Jack of all trades: steel lathe operation lithographic printing industrial cleaner Chemist (flux mixing/production) All aspects of airlines, except pilot/attendant Hotel check in/night auditer Gas station (2) manager truck driver car dealer/rental negative film developer drug dealer, before legal (ganga) loan shark lawn sprinkler installer tree surgeon hydraulic lift installation Concrete contractor (pads/sidewalks) painter (house) Window tinter (liquid) Plumber assistant refrigerator/over builder (assembly line) baker (2 bakeries) UPS delivery (seasonal) Shelf stocker/warehouse person fork lift driver steel foundry worker linen supply restaurant florist supply restaurant newspaper delivery (foot/car) busboy dish washer short order cook RE agent Chimney Sweep Firearms sales Slum Lord Stock investor Not joking when I state I've had 30+ jobs ???? probably missing a few. Last 4 are the ones that matter, as self employed.
  3. If you read the link, apparently not, it was a comparison of EV (cars) vs e-scooters & e-bikes. So extremely accurate opinion. <snip>
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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 ????
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. KhunLA replied to save the frogs's topic in Thai Food
    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.
  12. KhunLA replied to save the frogs's topic in Thai Food
    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.
  13. KhunLA replied to save the frogs's topic in Thai Food
    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.
  14. KhunLA replied to save the frogs's topic in Thai Food
    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.
  15. 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.
  16. Thanks for your contribution: https://aseannow.com/topic/1305756-the-scooter-that-thinks-its-an-electric-superbike/#comment-18343919
  17. 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.
  18. Diesel truly is a disgusting & unhealthy (for everyone) fuel: source
  19. Yes, that's been proven/direct link for a long time.... IMHO Diesel really should be only used for commercial vehicles, if at all.
  20. KhunLA replied to save the frogs's topic in Thai Food
    Laab ... NO, But Gai Yaang (grilled chicken, not issan food, as served worldwide), and Som Tam I enjoy, if too not spicy (Som Tam Thai), and I travel w/cayenne pepper for my som tam & spicy fruit salad som tam.
  21. Another informative, on topic, and why some sugars should definitely be avoided, or at best, in moderation. And that white sugar with equal parts fructose/glucose, may be a healthier choice, again in moderation, and in amounts you'll burn off, or it will turn to fat, and you will have a whole new problem. @6:10 of vid, gets past all the science & history, breaks down the important part, IMHO. Though never hurts to watch the whole vid, especially if having kids with asthma.
  22. Are we ? As most of that is submitted by health professional. And I believe investigated, as best as possible, I think. I believe I've post some numbers in the past, although using; IMHO, suspected or possible always helps not getting things deleted. Staggering numbers of suspected life changing side effects. Although more disturbing numbers (aside from deaths & life changing disabilities possibly caused by vaccines) were from the CDC itself, early on, when they came out and adjusted their numbers of death due to covid vs with covid. Scratching like 94% (?) of the deaths off the died from covid, and now simply 'suspected' of dying with covid. As most early deaths, were not even tested or verified to have covid. Simply have flu symptoms was enough to be listed as having covid. That info is on the CDC site, deep in it, and I've posted it a few times. The control of information on all aspects of this virus, before-during-after should disturb everyone with a thinking brain ... IMHO.
  23. Big surprise ... none of those reports are making it into the MSM ????
  24. It's at a discount right now, part of the EV incentives, @ 20% of road tax. I think ours would fall in ฿260 line source
