  1. Death sentence ... nobody deserves to live among us if intentionally killing someone. Jail or death doesn't seem to be a deterrent, but will at least eliminate it being repeated by the same person.
  2. Don't think I missed it, but feel free to peek yourself: blue round round blue
  3. JP exports scallops, mackerel & tuna, and most of that goes to CH, S. Korea & USA
  4. 90% of Salmon comes from Norway. Another silly news-blip. CH is 100% correct, Japan being totally irresponsible. Think how the news would read if CH was dumping nuke waste into the sea. I don't think I eat any products from Japan. Certainly wouldn't be fish. Japan imports salmon, doesn't export it. source Another plot line for the next Godzilla movie.
  5. I guess it/LP was useful for the most ignorant person, which we all were at one time. Though it didn't take long to realize, half the info was wrong or dated. Did keep a copy in the car, as the maps of smaller towns actually came in handy. Aside from that, quite useless. After 2000, info was starting to be readily available on internet, making it even more useless.
  6. You really didn't go there, did you ... ... you did ???? Completely irrelevant, as I'm a fricken genius compared to some of the Ph'd holders that I know, IQ and actually using it, seems to be more important. More than a few idiots out there with paperwork stating the opposite ???? And ... I'm only a high school grad, and probably put more work hours in than school hours, on the last year ????
  7. "InstantPot" are still silly priced in TH
  8. Unless a small plane, they wouldn't be weighing passengers for that specific flight. Those numbers are already built into the W&B equation, or computer programming, with built in safety margins. Late 1970s/1980, I did the #s on paper with slide rule ???? Last time I did the W&B, 2001, the computer did the thinking/calculation for you.
  9. You all can argue with the 'science' & 'youtube' all you want. I know what goes in my body, and how it comes out. What makes me tired or sluggish, or energized. I monitor my #s, BP, blood work, even my oxygen levels/95% or above. Eat what you want, but I'll keep eating my fruits, veggies, fiber, eggs, meat, breads, along with everything else in moderation. Sugars included. Pancakes for dinner, w/plenty of (fake) maple syrup & butter. Only thing I've eased up on, is cheese, as it doesn't want to play nice sometimes,
  10. Or, the less mail & cargo they'll be able to carry. Added fuel to accommodate the extra weight per passenger, again, lessening the available cargo/mail weight, all means higher fares, less free luggage allowance.
  11. Exactly, and that would be the point of weighing passengers, to establish a new standard. Unless a very small aircraft. I worked for the airlines, and did the weight & balance of the aircrafts, so pilots knows where to set the elevator/rear wing horizonal stabilizer.
  12. I suspect 165 lbs / 75 kg will be revised. Raised 10lbs/5kgs as a new standard. Airlines certainly won't like that, and fares will rise also.
  13. At least more right vs wrong ones ????
  14. USA ... kill them
  15. If nothing works in Patts, I think I would pay BkkBike a visit in Krung Thep. Spare parts shouldn't be an issue, unless you have an oops. May want to pick up spare innertube or 3, when buying the bike, as can think of the only spare part you'll need.
  16. Agree 100% We struggle just finding a place for her to do her business, as usually won't on concrete. Big consideration when choosing a hotel, need some green or be near/walking distance. Don't think I'd have a dog if living at Krung Thep, just ain't right, and not of fan of little pocketbook dogs.
  17. I walk with our dog, so they may not be interested with or deterred by treats. Usually local or rural, so not much of a problem, as I do get to pick my spots. Only in Krung Thep do I need to be a bit more careful & resourceful. Though surprisingly, have encountered so few dogs there, and most behind gates/walls. When and if, myself & dog are strolling & looking for those elusive green spots.
  18. I also carry a blade, so nothing will end badly for me or my dog. Common sense, know your surroundings & prepare for the worst. I have one walking stick that is actually a sheath, for the sword inside. A bit of overkill though. Using common sense works fine.
  19. Hot water sauna in cooler method for me. Similar to this, though mine much thicker than here end result:
  20. I hope that's an appetizer ... ???? Posted elsewhere, had an excellent chicken massaman yesterday. Thinking pancakes or crepes & fruit today. Looking to be a very early dinner now though.
  21. Assuming Thai wife, then that is correct, unless living in USA, for 3 or 5 years, forget which is applicable to you, married or green card holder. Then no, she will not be eligible. Children, yours, are eligible for SS, now and in the event of your death, till age 18, I think, unless containing in Uni, then possibly 20 or 22 yrs old. Current & accurate info on SS site, best to check there, as I may be a bit dated.
  22. Always carry a walking stick if suspect dogs may be a problem. If a pack & aggressive, hit the alpha, and the rest will whimper away with him. Usually just pointing a stick at them is enough, as they know. Only time I've had to use one, It broke in half, on the lead dogs head charging toward me & dog while walking ... they (3) scurried off. That hurt, as it wasn't a thin walking stick.
  23. Very thick skinned, obviously needed on AN. Not just quantity pig out, their NY Style was damn tasty, and 18", I think, same as SoHo, also excellent but ฿650 last time ordered, and also a bargain. ฿399 @ Pizza Co ????
  24. Lovely indeed, and found a very nice Chicken Massaman, surfside yesterday. Something I haven't perfected cooking at home. Nice breeze coming off the bay.
  25. Depends if your lifestyle is on a P4P basis or simply a smile & conversation. If relying on P4P for sex, then it's cost of living, income disparity, being the reason, not the availability of young attractive bed partners that 'want' to be with you. Simply 'paid' to be with you. Myself, don't find things that much different here or the USA. Though I stopped being single at 50 years old, and looking 40, or so I was told, so may be different now if single. At 68, don't think I'd be attracting them 20 & low 30 yr olds back in USA ???? Non smoker, non heavy drinker, non sun worshipper, decent shape, so always looked younger for my age. Always an age gap, sometimes large in my relationships, here/TH & there/USA. Friend use to joke, that I never dated anyone 30 or over in USA.
