Bitcoin solves nothing.

Bitcoin is Bitcoin and gold is gold. Very different animals

Gold is not easy to sell. Better to at least buy it here. That also puts to rest the import issue.

Use Singapore instead

It's all made from powder. Can't you taste it???!

No shortage in Bangkok ????

She is 149 cm. She does have exercise routines she does every morning and evening. As do I.

 

Best way to lose weight is cut out sugar, processed foods, and carbs in general. I went from 93 kg to 78 kg on a low-carb diet.

I was as high as 81.5 but not for some time. I just broke 75.5.

I try to eat everything in moderation. My wife is very healthy eater aside from all the fried stuff here. Certainly, no want for special diets.

Another great plus for Thailand REAL FOOD that is not poisoned

I bought a foam bed a few months back directly from Dunlopilo. It was king, firm. Bed has been fine but when other person moves it reverbs thru bed. Other than  that it's ok. I think 5 even 8 or more wty. I don't recall the name it was 8-9k and heavily promoted. I'll toss it in four years and buy a nice one but it's fine now.

If my GF gets to 43 kg, she thinks she is too fat.

She's shorter than 148cm?

When we met she was 40kg... Fifteen years ago. It's all in her thighs and a bit of a tiny rice belly. Yes, she's trying to lose now - both of us.

Say goodbye to weed.

555 just read a day or two ago tourist numbers will not meet reasonable expectations let alone 2019 comeback dream world.

First liar doesn't stand a chance

No car. Only an absolute idiot would own a car in Bangkok.

Prices are still reasonable. I spend less than one third my monthly income on condo, utilities, spending + a bit to wife.

Bank 45k per month. No cash burn.

Good looking wife 15y my junior and 43kg.

National marine parks

Outside of immigration, get things done fast (and cheap)

Hot chicks everywhere.

This cannot be real. Please tell me it's satire.

Burger King has a few if these which amount to publicity stunts

Chocolate burger was one

Immigration hassles in general. No non immigrant visas. PR is ridiculous

Not being able to own land, home.

People cannot seem to manage themselves on BTS, MRT. The young are especially ignorant.

Bangkok foothpaths and everything about them.

Service charge and tax in restaurant bill.

Prices are starting to become an issue.

Lack of beach resort June to October. In BKK, no local green spaces.

Weather is usually awful. 3 mos of good weather.

99% foreigners under 50 in general. All the 25-55yo chancers at work specifically.

Women are starting to get fat.

I've moved a few stops northward and recently returned to Big C. 70% of shops and all banks closed...even Swensen and Chester's. Any idea what's going on? Mall in desperate need of insect exterminator and good scrubbing. It appears to me many like other malls in central BKK are tossing in the towel. Dark days.

Any idea what's being built next door? That land finally started to be built on after at least 10 years. The easy guess are condos but I'm thinking that it might be a new mall. Then tear down Big C for additional condos, mall.

Thanks

I was just curious.

The privacy concerns are real. Understood

Here's my last thought. Do you have any odd, small program(s)? Atypical, not MSFT, Adobe, browser like that? Even best programs can have memory leaks. Whatever it is something is running unseen to you. Probably more an issue than simply spiking at 100%. Good luck

Absolutely. This is serious stuff. Let them know the extent to which they have crossed the line. When their kids come home crying, and their wives complain of being badly treated, it just might hit home. Time to defect. 

 

Nobody gets a pass. You defy the will of the people at your own peril! 

This is when the upper crud reaps the historic cultural benefits of ingrained deference, politeness and reverence for faux status trumps. It's literally against the Thai nature both internal and public

Yes. I thought about that. What if not a single Thai showed up for work for a week after the election results? Imagine the impact that might have had? I realize the people who can least afford to lose their jobs, represent a majority. But, it does take guts to change the future of your nation. 

Workers can't risk jobs. Economy sour for ten years. It's not easy landing FT , proper employment.

Besides, I presume many business owners in BKK voted MFP

I'm absolutely dumbfounded it's taken this long. Should have started May 2014

The SSD is a recent upgrade to the old HDD and it was formatted and installed with Windows 10.  It runs much faster than the old HDD and there are very few apps installed on this SDD.

Check that the correct and latest drivers installed for the SSD.

Still could be malware, very possibly

Run sfc

Try to lean out drive. Old, big files. Remove temp files, old windows updates. Remove windows media player, delete system backups (reset backup to a few gb), user account unused, into advanced settings and use fastest not prettiest - then tweak a few switches back. SSD needs 20% free.

If you know nothing about services you shouldn't be dikkin round with it

I would reformat and reinstall. Unless the issue is hardware this will 100% fix the problem and you've probably never done it before so the machine will run much better.

There exists boatloads of malware that can run in the background. Certainly not limited to root kits but they are some of the nastier variety. All of which will go undetected by even paid versions of antivirus software. Reformat, reinstall

I don't like Edge but it's fast, especially the latest iteration. Try Chrome or Brave see if you have same issue

Someone said it was old netbook and/or running the celery processor.

Try tiny11

The media entity would be my wife's. From what I understand only select countries can be paid. Thailand wasn't on the list.

I'm not an optician, nor do I play one on AseanNow.

 

My understanding:- 

 

Non = Plain, untreated glass

Hard = Hardened Glass

HMC = Hardened and coated glass https://www.mikeoptical.com/newsdetail/the-difference-of-uchc-and-hmc.html

Blue-cut = Adds a blue light filter, could be good for reading.

MR-7, MR-8 = Is the lens material https://www.koalaeye.com/blogs/our-stories/what-is-an-mr-lens

 

 

Thanks so much for this. I did a bit of a search and was lost.

Is Thailand or are Thais restricted from monetizing social media by FB, YouTube, TikTok, etc? Not product sales, but actually money paid from stated corporations for views.

What are banking, deposit and tax issues in Thailand?

We can skip any only fans discussion, thanks

Could anyone help me understand the terms as the relate to lenses for glasses?

Non

Hard

HCL

Blue Cut

MR 7, 8

Any ciphering of the numbers, etc in first column appreciated
