  1. If you don't need the piston, there is kit on the shopping sites with 3 rings that can fix to it to make it stationary. For max height you use all 3 rings, med 2rings, tall people or short desks 1 ring. It's a solution. I guess the PVC probably cheaper. I laugh at my office mate who stole my chair and went to a lot of trouble to do so, getting a cheap chair, now with fixed height. If I ever find it, I'll steal it back though.
  2. Regularly shared between many countries. Not sure about India and Thailand, but many others for sure.
  3. I just think it is hilarious that so many left wing socialist/communist think they are escaping their repressive right wing governments to "free" Thailand because they saw someone walking down a tourist corridor smoking weed and ladyboys are tolerated. How little they know about Thai politics or society. How fast do they figure it out and move their leftist woke BS back to their home countries?
  4. Blame it on AI. Let me introduce my robot Optimus to your Robot Bydimus.
  5. Every country has it's own discounts in their own ways. Special menus for tourists in Greece and France. Special gems and jewelry in the Caribbean. Almost every duty free shop in the world now. Florida resident discounts to the theme parks, Kama'aina discount for local Hawaiians. Tourist fee in Venice, probably soon plenty of tourist fees in Kyoto and other Japan hotspots. Locals know where to get free parking, free entry to museums, and other specials.
  6. It's not a real trip to Bangkok if you didn't get scammed at least once. Come back, try again.
  7. Just one of the many lies of his administration. Presidents have checkups every year at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. This has to be diagnosed well before this month. You don't wake up one day with Stage 4 that has spread to bones. Of course the truth would have hurt his chances for reelection before the coup. Of course we don't wish cancer on anyone, but if you're a man, you probably will die of 1 of 3 things....heart disease, colon or prostate cancer. Bone cancer painful. Terrible way to go.
  8. That special white espresso from land of Laos.
  9. I thought it was ecologically friendly to recycle and repurpose?
  10. That's a manji armband not a swastika.
  11. Not that harmless if you'll do stupid things for it, like try to import 14kgs to Georgia and risk life in prison or maybe worse in the Philippines.
  12. #1....probably free service if you donate your body to science. Every medical school in Thailand needs body donations. Normally they'll use the body for a year for student interaction or for research and give you the ashes back for free in a year or two. If you don't want them back or you want them to dispose of them, they probably will. Check their websites for willed body program....Mahidol or Chula or a dozen other medical schools. If you want good karma give it to the worst or lowest ranked school, instead of these two as they probably have the most difficult times getting donations. You might also check at Wat Hua Lamphong and the Por Tek Tung Foundation. They might do low cost cremations.
  13. I don't think he'll ever fly in this plane. It will take 3 years probably to convert it to AF1 standards with all the inflight fueling, electronics gear and all that is required, plus pilot and crew training. It would probably be done about the end of his term. To fly privately it's probably $200,000/flight hour. He won't pay that. His old 757 I think sat in New York in disrepair for about 3 years, because he didn't want to pay to fix it. From what I remember it needed a new engine and some high$ maintenance. This gift is like a white elephant. He has a lot of money, but probably not 747 prince/king kind of money. Also at 80 years old, he probably doesn't have a lot of flying time left. Trump flying in a private 747 would be NFL player type stupidity. How fast can you go broke? Now the idea of painting it in USA colors and parking it at a presidential library is interesting. That would probably create some interest in visiting. Regan has an old plane at his museum in Loma Linda and an old Beast limo.
