Update! Update!.....after a 5 sec search on the WWW , this article about just a few of the studies that have been done concerning this o' so important matter. One such study of the American country revealed that... "In the USA, an increase in helmet use from 18% to 50% of cyclists over a decade was accompanied by a 10% increase in head injuries." My experience over 50 years of touring, cruiser, sport, standard, cafe, adventure, motocross, scooters, mopeds, paragliding, and hang gliding and the many crashes and injuries experienced through these activities leave me with a few realities on using a helmet; there are more appropriate types than others for certain activities. How it is worn is crucial. Kevlar isn't that big a deal- a full face cracked in half hitting on the front guard part of it though probably saved my life left me with a neck injury for years.. Most crashes left my neck wrenched, soar, or injured due to the helmet - it tends to grab onto things and get stuck or dragged due to it's weight, design, size. Crashing when drunk at 65mph without a helmet not a scratch. Overall, I'll wear them on a longer, faster riding. Locally under 40mph I don't. Doesn't matter where I am. Though the link doesn't talk about using a helmet in a car, it does say more helmet use on motorcycles led to more dying. So next time, Kwilco, don't be a saphead booby and listen to Brn2Trvl. https://www.cyclehelmets.org/1052.html

I saw a TV program once I think it was about seven or eight years ago don’t ask me the details. I don’t remember, but they concluded wearing a helmet on a motorcycle was not as safe as no helmet wearing a helmet in a car was safer than not wearing a helmet in a car. In either case, the test dummies were not drunk.

Retirement extension
Brn2Trvl replied to Badrabbit's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I was just at Mapta Phut Immigration yesterday and the woman at the window told me just bring in your bank statements for the last three months and don’t worry too much about it. It being that I didn’t have 800 K in the account. So if they’re flexible with that, I think they’ll be flexible with the 65K. -

Whenever you go to exchange money for services, bring your female companion you will get the Thai price or better. At least that’s what’s always work for me.

Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. -
Drones can be flown at night. They’re very quiet when hundreds of feet above, and can be flown up to 7 miles away with video because all drones use stationary satellites for navigation. Why is it hard to believe that board copycat people are flying drones at night?

How the Woke Turned a Suspected Killer Into a Cultural Icon

Applle already assures the retailer that it’s a working functioning product as it’s in the contract when they buy it. The retailer is making it so they will not be responsible if you take it back to the store in a non-working condition and will have to go through Applle, but since they are Apple retailer, they’re the ones that will have to take it in from you anyway, so I really don’t understand their purpose in doing this.

Could do with some support and advice here ?
Brn2Trvl replied to The Cobra's topic in Marriage and Divorce
Well, it’s an observation from your statements. It seems for the six months that everything was going along smoothly when she was on medication and then stopped taking it. She was simply going through withdrawals and the associated symptoms.. But this to me seems such an obvious reason that you and she would have thought of having her go back onto that medication. Is there some reason you hadn’t? Other than that, the reason that people get defensive is because they have done something they have transgressed. Of course the solution for that is to come clean about whatever one has been withholding. Communication is the key. You’re thinking seems to be analytical about the situation. I’d say, push on through to the other side. -
