save the frogs

riding a motorbike drunk .

One hotel I checked into once ... there was a baseball bat behind the reception. After reading all these stories on Aseannow, I don't blame them. I will donate a few Louisville Slugger bats to the Thailand hotel industry!

Maybe if people didn't have access to these vices, they would act out in violent ways. Although some people do with alcohol anyway. And if you're retired and drinking all day, well you don't need to be at work so it's not the same as a working age person drinking all day.

there's folks in the alcohol thread who have 2-4 drinks a day and refer to it as "moderation". the term "addictive" is subjective.

watch out for gluten, man!

she seems demonically possessed. it's like watching the exorcist. or the guitarist of AC/DC on stage. lol.

Coup in Russia - Russian Collapse Coming, Soviet Union 2.0

transfer to what? another species? if people drink all day, it's no one else's business. just don't participate if you're not interested.

Is this the end of the war? 8:25 -- Putin is more likely to leave Ukraine ..

Youtube AI just popped this into my feed. I watched about 1 minute of this. This was very painful to watch. The Only Existing Video of Seth Speaking Through Jane Roberts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgAH_GfLyis

the entire world's food supply will be controlled by one massive corporation? what if the CEO of that corporation turns out to be Dr Sinister?

I found a charity online that takes in used PCs to donate to schools. They use the following software to wipe the disks. KillDisk http://www.killdisk.com/killdisk-home.htm Dban https://dban.org edit: but they use an additional software to wipe the disks even further ... this is messed up complicated sh*t.

just watched a youtube vlogger in bangkok. he says he gets phone calls from friends asking for money at 2 AM. lots of folks in thailand partying like it's 1999 and blowing all their money on alcohol.

Tangkaravakoon transformed the media and publishing company into a manufacturer of electrical wires That's the problem right there!

this thread is making me think of virtual reality. perfectly timed with the release of Apple's Vision Pro. i think in the future it may actually be possible to relive past memories via virtual reality headsets. so what that means is ... you, sir, are ahead of your time.

just watched an interview with Tim Newton, founder of TheThaiger. he says he doesn't drink any alcohol ever.

I did another search. I'm guessing this web site is an official Microsoft web site, but not sure. https://www.windowscentral.com/what-do-selling-your-old-pc After you complete the steps, the hard drive will be wiped out beyond recovery, removing your files, accounts, settings, and apps, and then Windows 10 will apply a fresh installation. The process could take a few hours, but it's worth it, as it'll be almost impossible for most people to recover your data.

that's one reason i stopped playing. i'm a private person and when you're on the courts the circle of friends (mostly false friends) grows too quickly. too many people you can't trust want to get close to you. not to mention the copious amounts of alcohol at these social gatherings.

maybe your most eclectic post ever. you referenced just about everything you've ever come across in your life and mysteriously weaved seemingly unrelated concepts together into one cohesive web of eloquence and wit.

Cheese is a health food. But there are crappy processed cheeses that are not healthy. To mock cheese is ridiculous. Apart from Kraft processed crap.

Seth Rogan smokes weed all day, every single day.

It's probably best to change all your passwords after donating a PC just in case.

not sure what you mean. 3 in 10 sounds about right to me ... doesn't seem like they're being sensationalist.

This is from the CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/marijuana/health-effects/addiction.html#:~:text=Another study estimated that people,10% likelihood of becoming addicted.&text=The risk of developing marijuana,who use marijuana more frequently. One study estimated that approximately 3 in 10 people who use marijuana have marijuana use disorder.1 Another study estimated that people who use cannabis have about a 10% likelihood of becoming addicted.2 The risk of developing marijuana use disorder is greater in people who start using marijuana during youth or adolescence and who use marijuana more frequently.3 The following are signs of marijuana use disorder 4: Using more marijuana than intended Trying but failing to quit using marijuana Spending a lot of time using marijuana Craving marijuana Using marijuana even though it causes problems at home, school, or work Continuing to use marijuana despite social or relationship problems. Giving up important activities with friends and family in favor of using marijuana. Using marijuana in high-risk situations, such as while driving a car. Continuing to use marijuana despite physical or psychological problems. Needing to use more marijuana to get the same high. Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when stopping marijuana use. People who have marijuana use disorder may also be at a higher risk of other negative consequences, such as problems with attention, memory, and learning. Some people who have marijuana use disorder may need to use more and more marijuana or greater concentrations of marijuana over time to experience a “high.” The greater the amount of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in marijuana (in other words, the concentration or strength), the stronger the effects the marijuana may have on the brain.5,6 The amount of THC in marijuana has increased over the past few decades.6 In a study of cannabis research samples over time, the average delta-9 THC (the main form of THC in the cannabis plant) concentration almost doubled, from 9% in 2008 to 17% in 2017.7 Products from dispensaries often offer much higher concentrations than seen in this study. In a study of products available in online dispensaries in 3 states with legal non-medical adult marijuana use, the average THC concentration was 22%, with a range of 0% to 45%.8 In addition, some methods of using marijuana (for example, dabbing and vaping concentrates) may deliver very high levels of THC to the user.6,9 Researchers do not yet know the full extent of the consequences when the body and brain are exposed to high concentrations of THC or how recent increases in concentrations affect the risk of someone developing marijuana use disorder.6
