  1. Everybody knows this. Nobody thinks eating pastries for breakfast is good for you. But a lot of people don't care
  2. Go to Soi Bukhao at the north end before you get to Central. There must be a half dozen within a few minutes's walk. If you're in Jomtien, go to Rhompo Market. There's probably a dozen all lined up in back of the food court by the bar area.
  3. Yeah, right. And everybody must learn that your purpose in life isn't to become as rich as possible but foster the well being of your fellow human beings. Ha ha ha! Goof one!
  4. That's why there are nutritionists and dieticians. Most doctors know the basics of nutritional anyway and they don't have time to be analyzing their patients eating habits.
  5. This dope doesn't have the right to dictate what medical schools should teach. Did you see him drinking methyl blue and popping nicotine pouches while he was before Congress. I'll bet he's also roided up and certainly takes testosterone supplements. Not to mention the fact that he's mentally ill.
  6. The same thing has happened in Bangkok. The Big C at Rachaprasong underwent a major rennovation and now primarily stocks goods aimed at Chinese tourists: junk food, cosmetics, souvenirs, Thai snacks. The supermarket has been reduced by about 50 percent and a majority of the customers seem to be Chinese.
  7. It wasn't that bad. It was just boring and uninspired, a retread of a retread. Come to think of it, I wouldn't recommend it.
  8. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned halogen ovens, which are actual mini-ovens. They cook with an infrared light bulb. They're more versatile than air fryers and less expensive. I like to bake -- or I used to anyway before I cut out sugar -- and they're great for that, cookies, cakes, pies, anything, You can cook a whole chicken and the vegetables at the same time on a second tier. Also pizza, as the temperature goes up to 250 C. There is somewhat of a learning curve at they cook a little bit differently from coventional ovens but they're not that hard to master. And no PFAS, as there's no non-stick coating. Avoid the cheapest models but you can pick up a very servicable halogen oven for around 1,000 baht.
  9. So all foreigners are suspected fraudsters?
  10. And yet life expectancy if falling, not rising
  11. What's interesting is that before eliminating funding for mRNA vaccines, Kennedy didn't bother examining any science at all. He just had his staff throw together a bibliography that demonstrated the exact opposite of what he was claiming. This article was written by an actual infectious disease physician and not a substack crank, so of course the anti-vaxxers on this forum, who know nothing about science, won't even bother to read it, I'm sure. https://www.statnews.com/2025/08/13/rfk-jr-mrna-vaccine-research-science-papers-justification-misreading/
  12. 1337x, Pirate Bay, Ext Torrents, YTS torrents, EZTV... There are many. Music and video downloads are generally safe but there's always a chance of malware, particularly if a file is zipped and certainly if it's zipped and requires a password. All files downloaded should be scanned by a good anti-virus app before opening.
  13. Even with a local account, onedrive will automatically backup everything to the cloud unless you turn off the synch function. Even then, you'll keep getting reminders to back up your files. I finally had to uninstall Onedrive, which was nothing but an annoyance as is the Edge browser. Windows 11 is a actually better than Windows 10 once you turn off all the data mining features. Better, though, doesn't mean it's good. Phone software is much nore advanced which shows you what a failure Windows has been.
  14. You know, substack was financed by Marc Andreessen through his venture capital fund. The purpose in starting it was to undermine not only the mainstream media but also trust in scientific expertise, which in turn will enable tech billionaires like himself to more easily promote the libertarian values they favor. Their vision is for a society ruled by rich tech elite. Peter Thiel has been financing Rumble. Eric Weinstein is a Thiel factotum who appears on every available podcast attacking the scientific order and predicing the end of days. He is supported by Sabine Hossenfelder and his brother Brett with his Dark Horse podcast. So far they have been successful in turning people like Matt Taibbi, Glen Greenwald, Michael Shellenberger, who have now become rapid right-wing zealots. By promoting nonsense such as that written above, you are, intentionally or not, aiding and abetting the Dark Side.
  15. Well, they're not creating many of those kinds of jobs. Most retail outlets are small with few staff.
  16. Yeah, right, low wage jobs with no benefits
  17. I had two Osstem, 55,000 each, zirconia crowns, no trouble so far, fingers crossed. Most upscale clinics in Bangkok will recomend Straumann, though Osstem is more affordable and thus has a large market share in Asia. My dentist told me implant technology is off patent so the brand doesn't matter that much. I don't know how true that is.
  18. But it's a drama for a different generation. I guess this is the sort of thing that Generation Z and maybe the Millenials like. So I just take that into consideration. It's like all the hullabaloo over Taylor Swift. I can't for the life of me understand it but I assume that's because I'm too old.
  19. After Ballard, I started watching Nikita, which came out in 2010, I guess, which also starred Maggie Q. It's okay, a little repetitive, a lot unrealistic, but just straight action, no social and cultural commentary.
  20. I went back and watched Queen's Gamit again. I think maybe I liked it even better the second time.
  21. So you can make 800 calls to the US for free?
  22. To sum up, nobody has found a real Skype substitute yet
  23. She is wrong and the only reason she's doing it is to deflect attention away from Trump and the Epstein files. She's one of the worst of the Trump sycophants (and I don't evem like Obama)
  24. You remember when they had the shoplifting scam? arresting people under false pretenses and the police would extort money
  25. I was told by AIS you could update your passport information on the app.
