Furioso

I always loved laptops, and for a few years I worked on them. I noticed that after 2010 almost every laptop was designed to fail, usually within 6-12 months. My last laptop was great, but the MB blew in less than a month. Since I had moved to a new country I couldn't get any warranty support. Still, I went on a mission to get it fixed. Two shops opened it up, and said "no can do". I tried to buy a used or new MB, almost impossible to find, and way too expensive to ship to Thailand. Even though I had some weird love for laptops I realize it's a rigged game. Sure, you can buy a laptop and get years of use out of it but I think the laptop makers win most of the time.

It might be your account. Might want to try logging in with a different PC or Smartphone. If it still happens then email the administrator.

Have you tried more than one browser?

the old mortal kombat cheat code.

I buy coconut oil, usually at Big C, but it's stocked at many local stores, even most pharmacies. I buy the clear "100% Extra Virgin Coconut Oil" for around 300 baht per 500ml bottle. The brownish colored coconut oil is much cheaper, processed, and mostly used for cooking.

I use Surfshark, 30 USD a year for a 2 year subscription. I do use it a lot, mostly for banking, online shopping, and streaming sports. It's worked so good I will probably keep on renewing every 2 years. I also have an IPTV subscription. It doesn't work very well(lot's of channels don't work or freeze up). I'm not going to renew it when it expires in Oct. My neighbor has a much better version that I'll probably sign up for.

I wonder where they killed him? Obviously they set up an ambush, he walked in, somebody in another room or behind a door snuck up on him. Bashed him on the head with a heavy weapon. Man that's dirty. Then cut him up with a chainsaw? These people are the lowest of the low.

Chokchai Garden, not too far from where the Mercedes was found(CC Condo).

Smash or pass?

What we know so far: 1. Mack met a foreign broker at a dark side restaurant around noon on Tuesday, July 4th. Supposedly about a enormous real estate deal, 700 million baht. 2. Mack left shortly thereafter in his Mercedes, last known location(via CCTV)on Chaiyaphruek road towards Sukhumvit & Jomtien Beach. 3. Family reported Mack missing on July 5, offering 3 million baht reward if found alive(interesting). 4. Mack's Mercedes found at a dark side condo complex on Sunday, 9 July. Witness says it was parked by two young Thai females on Wednesday, 5 July. The females left the vehicle/area rather quickly. 5. The Mercedes was wiped clean, presumably to get rid of fingerprints/DNA etc. 6. Supposedly Mack's cell last pinged in Sa Kaeo, near Cambodian border. 7. Two male foreigners and one Thai lady brought in for questioning over a mysterious/connected 2 million baht transaction. They did not talk, immediately lawyered up.

The location of his mobile phone signal was last traced to Sa Kaeo province in Isaan.

Beware the dark side.

Yep.

My friend and I were pricing out all the components of an Intel i5 PC the other day: i5 CPU - 5000 baht Mainboard LGA 1200 - 3000 baht Case - 2000 baht Power Supply - 2000 baht DDR 4 16GB RAM - 2000 baht Standoffs - 200 baht Power cable - 100 CPU Fan - 500 Baht TOTAL - 14,800 Baht

No problem, it's like getting a brand new car when you upgrade the sound. GL!

might be a good idea to engage with the person first "you seem to be struggling are you ok?" If they signal they're not ok then "I'm going to try to help you ok?" Around here it's an older crowd, and a lot are unhealthy people that are probably dealing with problems like this daily. They seem like they're on the verge of death but they can somehow manage.

Yes, Reagan and Thatcher's actions probably accelerated this capitalism on steroids quite a bit. Over the last 50 years, Wage Theft is one of the biggest crimes in the western world. I don't think the average citizen noticed what was being done to them until maybe 15 years ago. Some people took to the streets but it never caught on. Just think about how many people have sold their soul for a buck/euro/pound. Pathetic.

The western world is still great, so many fantastic things done right for almost 100 years. But over time, all corporations in all western countries have become more and more evil, and have way too much money and power. In today's western world, it seems that about 10% have it real good, while the other 90% fight for table scraps. Both the people and the politicians are slaves to the corporations. And now it's time for the people, not the politicians, to rise up and crush their masters, before it's too late.

That dissected body displayed in the movie Quantum of Solace was that of a murdered Chinese dissident. Think about that!

I have bookmarked dozens of YT channels. Here's just a few of them that I enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/c/serpentza/videos https://www.youtube.com/c/laowhy86/videos These two guys befriended each other in China, when it was fun lol. Now they're out of China but give regular updates on the inner workings of the worlds most populated country. https://www.youtube.com/@ExploreWithUs/videos https://www.youtube.com/@CoffeehouseCrime/videos Long form true crime drama, not for the faint of heart. EWU usually dives deep into interrogation videos. Coffeehouse reports on strange or unsolved crime cases with a lot of empathy for the victims, without being overly dramatic.

YouTube will pause a video if you haven't interacted with it, usually around 45 minutes. I use 4K downloader to download YouTube videos to my harddrive, then play from there using either PotPlayer or VLC media player.

I didn't buy a fancy wireless keyboard(Logi K350) but I've learned to go over a certain price point otherwise the keyboard either won't work well or will crap out within a year. I wish I could remember the name of the store, but near or on the top floor of Central Festival(under the bowling alley) there's a really nifty store that has one row of wired and wireless keyboards/mice that are very reasonably priced. If mine ever conks out on me that's the first place I'm going for at least an "emergency" replacement.

I prefer NJSOUND above everybody else. Also, I've had a lot of car stereos. I know you just want improvement over your current stock speakers. However, I always recommend at least a small amp/subwoofer to go along with new speakers. Otherwise you'll hear very little difference. From what I remember the ZS doesn't come with the same touchscreen as the HS. Or does it even come with a touchscreen? Maybe just a regular head unit?

To the OP it's not ok to lie. If you're honest and they're not or if you're a liar and they're honest it's a bad relationship. My woman lied to me, and wouldn't stop. One day she came home from work and I was gone. Both of us knew why.

To whomever said "you marry the culture" I'll say from my experience this is mostly correct. I lived in several countries around this big ole' globe, here's what I've seen. Well, most guys who married Korean girls ah, it was mostly pretty pathetic..I went over to a few houses the Korean woman was usually on the verge of hysterics anytime the husband walked out the door, even to go to work. Basically the man was a weak slave to his Korean wife..and she kept all the money, always looking for free stuff or sales. The guys I knew who married Panamanians their wives usually got fat and very unattractive pretty quick. Sad, pathetic, no way in hell I would go through that. One guy told me once he and his wife moved to the U.S. she did very little but eat donuts. I couldn't have my wife to that, not for more than one day. Call me crazy. In Japan, it was during their lost generation a few guys I knew married Japanese women, usually from dysfunctional families. One VERY INFAMOUS story was this Japanese family married off their mentally ill daughter to a guy I knew who worked down the hall from me. She was a sweet woman, just not well at all. The HUGE story everybody knew was where she tried to put eyedrops in their dogs eyes, except it was Krazy glue. Other guys that married Japanese girls was the typical case where she didn't like Japanese guys so she married a Gaijin and was totally dependent on him. Basically stay at home mom. Let me see, Guam? Yeah, nobody I knew bothered. Oahu? Very rare unless they were going to stay on the island forever. Turkey? I knew an older guy who married a hot younger Turkish girl, she did it to move up in status QUICK, then screwed the guys around him that were more her age. Big trouble. A few other countries I won't name..the guys I knew married very plain looking women that they didn't match up well with anyway. I've got lot's of crazy stories I can tell..the guy who's wife would slash him with a knife as she was an ex bar girl who drank to excess..he showed me the scars, he stuck with her way longer than I would have, which would have been <5 seconds. But yes, I can definitely see how you can marry a foreign woman, have a child, and then one parent pushes the child to excess, while the other parent goes along with it until they realize they're in a big mess that's hard to either fix or escape without severe family disruption.
