  1. Ayam are pretty gross, and can't believe people actually eat them. We I bought them, it was Brooks after discovering. Although I'd pour the tomato sauce, and doctor up the rest, add veggies & meat. Straight from the can, I can't do it, and wouldn't give it to my dog without tweaking. Since silly priced now, (3@220 ????) we just get dried beans from Makro.
  2. NO, we rarely used a living room. New house doesn't even have one, and the sofa sits in hall way in front of the sliding glass doors to the veranda, which is the perch for the dog, awaiting the squirrels & tree shrews to run by on the wall, to bark at. Never sit on the floor, not with my back Yes, but no massive wall unit. Just sits on the speakers, for that theater big screen look. They make all kinds of ingenious space saving furniture, Very cool & practical.
  3. Heinz Baked Beans recipe – copycat
  4. Was thinking how skint do you have to be, to ask friends to bring baked beans over. Especially with the limited amount of luggage they are allotted. If bringing anything, bring something expensive here, that cheap there. If from UK or EU ... maybe an 'Instant Pot' ... see below why. Buy dried and make your own. Canned beans, straight out of the tin, taste like crap anyway, and I can believe people actually eat them that way. Don't want to soak them overnight or cook for a while in slaw cook afterward, buy a pressure cooker, or better, an 'Instant Pot', Duo 7 in 1 cooker, and eliminate the need for the other 5, as it doesn't do (1) rice very well.
  5. Is that a British company with great beans since 1892 ???? Nah ... started by a Frenchie ... OMG
  6. That's one of those questions, if you have to ask, you wouldn't understand the answer. I loved my firearms also. This shows Yanks aren't alone with their love for firearms. And guessing, they're just the legal one ???? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimated_number_of_civilian_guns_per_capita_by_country
  7. I guess you conveniently missed the rolling eyes & chuckle.
  8. I just ask ... "What are you burning now ?" Almost always when steaming or boiling water. Finally got her to use a timer when boiling eggs. Aside from that, she a genius in the kitchen.
  9. Got a scare the other day. Came out of the bedroom and smelled something burnt. Of course first thing on my mind ???? and ran to the carport, EVs still in tact ???? Someone, not me, steaming sweet potatoes, ran out of water in the pot. Honey, maybe use the timer next time.
  10. I use our outside sitting areas. Front porch, morning coffee with the dog, as it faces West. Anytime in afternoon, on back veranda, as it faces East. At least a couple times a week, weather permitting. So I'd need a balcony facing North. Which would be preferred anyway, as less sun exposure on studio.
  11. Guilty as charge .... Too Much of everything that makes me happy ...
  12. I would need 45-50m², no less. Basically 1 bdrom/bath & eat in kitchen. Don't need living room/sitting area or anything else. Balcony is also a must.
  13. The implication you are poor and need charity. Actually considered rude in some places, or so I read. When I first got here, I've gotten some strange reactions when I tried to tip, so leave it up to the wife. If I happen to be by myself, rare, at rest/venue, then I'll just watch the locals pay their bill and follow their lead, which most times, no tip, or just coins left on table, if server takes the payment. If pay at register, then never a tip left, or coins in top box, if one available. Probably different in tourist venues, which we rarely frequent, and a tip may actually be expected. Or worse, 10% already added to your bill. Whether service was good or nonexistent.
  14. Except for the look, hard to get excited about that scooter at all, especially at the price point. Except for probably a larger motor, no advantage over the 2000w & 3000w motor DECO scooters available from 40-80k baht. Obviously for a single person, as no seat room for your partner .... boring.
  15. I handle/control the money, but she pays for everything. This way, I don't tip, as I would, and usually over tip, so not to offend anyone, either way, she pays all the time. Only time I pay, is at chain stores or vendor, if I'm by myself, and those vendors don't get tips from anyone. Leave restaurant tipping up to her, and rare that she does, or very little, depending on venue & service. I need baht in the bag/pocket, so withdraw a stack from the pillow every month or 3. She always has baht in hers, and simply takes out of my bag what she needs, 5k at a time and just lets me know she did, so I know to make a withdrawal from the pillow again, when that stack is getting low.
  16. Don't those describe everything in life. ... I crave sh!t ... tolerate the risk/stupidity of it ... I want more of what I crave ... and yep, sometimes it causes problems in my life. SUD ... Smile Use Disorder ... therapy recommendation, Join AN's SUD Anonymous group therapy to help you lose the smile and be grumpy. Hi, my name is LA And I smile too much I tried being grumpy, but it's so hard One day at a time ... thanks for listening.
  17. Pretty cool ... I like it. But @ UK price of ฿330k Extra battery @ ฿30k NO THANKS But to call it a super bike ???? 100 kph & 60 km range. Range is kind of low, as battery spec'd about the same as mine, and pretty sure I can squeeze 90 kms out of ours, if needed. Not that I'd want to go that far, that slow. Which gave a chuckle while watching, when he said 'comfy for longer rides'. Not stated, but guessing motor is 5000w, vs my 3000w, and explains take off speed, and lower range.
  18. Simply mind boggling ... ???? "3 to 7 years Binet's original scale of mental measurement had included two gradations of deficiency: the “idiot,” who had a mental age of 2 or younger, and the “imbecile,” who had a mental age of 3 to 7 years." Source
  19. Just in case you are not trolling???? lets try it this way. I'm a baker, and I make 1 apple pie every day. I need 5 apples for one pie. I go to the market, and pay for 5 apples, as that all the money I have for apples. The vendor gives me 8 apples, because I'm handsome. I make my apple pie with the 5 apples I paid for. I make apple juice with the other 3. Did the apple juice cost me anything ? I install solar to provide 30kWh a day The house uses 30 kWh a day, every day. I only get 30kWh a day on overcast rainy days. I used 30kWh a day, every day. So the system has to provide a minimum of 30kWh a day. The system cost this many $$$ to produce 30kWh a day on overcast, rainy days. That's what the system must cost. The sun comes out today, I get 50kWh today. I use 30kWh for the house, and put the 20kWh in the EV. Did the 20kWh cost me anything extra ? edit: I just showed this to my 7 yr old niece, and she correctly answered NO to both questions.
  20. Now we're back to the porous borders. Truly is only 1 solution, stop making them. Simply ban production worldwide, UN, world peace and all that, and actually would be the easiest to do. Any UN member that doesn't stop production, is banned/sanctions from trading with any nation. But that wouldn't be profitable, worldwide, and we all know what is more important. Lives or profits, rhetorical obviously. Humans are a horrific species, one of the few, that kill their own. for sport or profit.
  21. I was thinking the same thing ... Your simple logic and example explains why you are having difficulty understanding. Maybe call a friend for guidance.
  22. This discussion is as useless as all the other 'gun' threads. PEACE OUT
