  1. People travel. Not everyone has reliable internet. I'll thank you if you pay for my annual subscription ... By the way, what do you pay?
  2. It could easily be the proceeds of selling a house he or his parents bought back in the eighties, in either Sydney or Melbourne. Sale prices now can easily be fifty times the original purchase price. Someone who bought shares like CBA in the nineties would also do very nicely selling now.
  3. This usually means they were fake. If you want to know for sure, check the brand name and how much you paid compared to somewhere like JIB or Amazon. If it was less than half the price of well-known retailers, you likely have your answer. While you could try using them, I'd bin them as they will never be reliable.
  4. For something available in Greater Bangkok supermarkets, Cubic is the brand I buy. About five varieties, but I mainly buy the 19 Grains loaf. When I first saw them years ago in Aeon, there were lots on display, but they can't have been very popular, as it was always 50% off with a few days until the use-by date. Nowadays, my local MaxValu only stocks a few varieties and stock levels are low.
  5. If you read the next sentence... a very well-known surname in Thailand, but you can always Google the surname if you really don't know why.
  6. Here's where you go to change things.
  7. Two hundred sounds like a lot to me. Most kids that age would struggle to do half that number these days. because most spend too much time on their screens. Here's how many, according to a recent article in the New York Post, you should be able to do at different stages of your life. 20s: 50 nonstop bodyweight squats, or 10 squats holding 40% to 50% of your body weight 30s and 40s: 50 nonstop bodyweight squats, or 10 squats holding 50% to 60% of your body weight 50s: 40 nonstop bodyweight squats, or 10 squats with 40% to 50% of your body weight 60s: 30 nonstop bodyweight squats, or 10 squats holding 30% of your body weight 70s and up: 20 nonstop bodyweight squats, or 10 squats with 20% of your body weight https://nypost.com/2025/04/30/health/how-many-squats-you-should-be-able-to-do-at-every-age/#:~:text=That said%2C Collins says a,60% of your body weight
  8. I remember watching his video about this six months ago. What happened when they found the car at a Bangkok car dealer will not really surprise anyone. It's a good video if you have the time. The third photo above is from another video about how cars get stolen and how they disappear. Worth a look.
  9. I've been prescribed it twice (0.5mg) as a sleeping pill in Thailand, including at a well-known private hospital in Bangkok a few months ago. My doctor in Australia had a similar reaction to yours when I told him.
  10. Malaysia went down this path during Covid. I've walked out of a few restaurants there when ordering by phone was the only option. I will give the Kenny Rogers in KL a good review. I didn't have internet on my phone, so the waitress used her own phone to order for me. I like Nando's too, but in KL they lost me as a customer when phone ordering became the only option. Trying to find your way around some menus and trying to make changes like no ice with your drink is just too hard. While McDonald's has big order screens, they will still let you order at the counter so you can avoid the screen prompts wanting you to upsize or buy extra items.
  11. Will there be anyone left at Fox News once the replacement members are installed?
  12. Compared to Australia, specialist shops seem harder to locate, e.g., A/C, radiator, exhaust, or electrics. Most where I live are either general mechanics or tyre shops, with a battery display outside. All my auto-electrician did was to swap the factory standard bulbs for some better Philips halogen bulbs he knew would improve lighting coverage without blinding oncoming traffic. There must be some Toyota/ Toyota Vios forums on the web where others have upgraded their lights. Years ago I had a Suzuki Baleno rental. As soon as you went outside of town, the high beams were pathetic. Being only a small car, it may have been designed for city use. When you change bulbs, they should check the alignment for you.
  13. When I needed to upgrade the headlights on a fifteen-year-old car last year, my auto electrician said to avoid any DIY LED kits, as I would blind oncoming motorists because the car was never designed for LED lights. He installed some higher wattage halogen bulbs, which were a great improvement. The downside, he said, was they had a shorter life, but it was an old car that doesn't get driven after dark much, so not an issue.
  14. Totally left field. So unexpected. They seemed so happy together. A "nasty, so nasty" comment from Trump about Musk is due soon.
