He's gone @JonnyF. Move on...

What happened to free speech @Cameroni? Is it not true that Mr Kirk stated " I think it's worth it. I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights."? I guess that is the true meaning of being 'hoisted by your own petard'. So you agree with people getting sacked for speaking their mind? Incidentally, appearently there have been forty seven school shootings in the USA this year. Charlie Kirk was number forty six.

Yeah... @Trippy I wonder about my juristic office in that regard. Water bill climbed 50% after they 'renewed the pipes'.

@StayinThailand2much Is 4,000 baht monthly inexpensive for health insurance?

60 baht water bill? Either I'm being ripped off or Simon isn't showering enough 😊 A dirty 'farang'? 😊 Maybe he uses the shower at the gym and pool. I've seen a few foreigners save money that way...

@Cameroni To me he appeared to be a hate filled gaslighter. The ONLY exposure that I had to this person, was the video that you posted of him gaslighting a young black male. There was no intelligent debate, just talking over him and injecting racist tropes. Nasty.

Your theory is flawed @TedG Lacks balance. Seems only a mind trick in order for you to keep believing that he is your Messiah.

@wombat GMO Cookies or Apple Tart?

@BritManToo if this is the case, the whole thread should disappear, as it's clearly not fit for purpose. At least a balanced discussion of the poll results might have lent the thread some legitimacy. Without that, what was the point of a poll in the first instance? It just seemed to be a way in for the OP to rant about his pet hates. Removing the poll result discussion brings it back to that.

Indeed, live and let live. Accept that people will live their lives differently from you. Pure arrogance to accuse everyone on the forum of smoking in public and it's all their fault that recriminalisation was being considered. The whole premise is complete nonsense. But the OP is stuck, in his mind. Cannot get his head around the fact that it was being used as a political bargaining chip.

Unhappy people... 😊

Seems @KannikaP and @Hummin are in a bad mood. @fredwiggy is just being himself 😊

Oh dear @fredwiggy have a word with yourself. You seem to be having a temper tantrum. Go stand in the corner with @Hummin "...proven me wrong or a lot more educated..." 😊 Stop it @fredwiggy Do you even have a Bachelors to your name? I guess you don't.

Seems @KannikaP and @Hummin are not having a good Sunday 😊

You are @Hummin It's what I wrote and I have presented the evidence.

Simple sanity test for you @Hummin... Have you ever seen me write about smoking? Have you ever seen me write about smoking in public? Since the answer to both of those questions is no, then do you imagine that a sane, balanced person would suggest that my future is based on how I behave with weed in public? You are ranting at someone who has nothing to do with your problem, but you are treating me as if I do. is that your normal behaviour? You are having an episode.

@fredwiggy stop it with the thumbs down. Grow up...eh?

@Hummin Stop it... you don't know anything of what you are saying. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3009708/ Coffee is a stimulant. Shall we attack the people who intake it in public? The whole thread is about YOUR annoyance. Look at your post. It is you who is ranting. Someone asking if you are okay, is not "overwhelming against you". It's you who is misreading the room. I asked you what is the point of the poll. You have so far been unable to give a coherent reply. Because the whole thing is just about YOUR annoyance. You don't know millions of Thais and most certainly "millions of Thais" are not subjected to a few foreigners smoking. It's your wild and almost uncontrolled behaviour that is what is most remarkable of this thread. The fact that you cannot see it, makes me feel pity for you. If you cannot accept that you have a problem, then you cannot fix it. Instead you try to blame anonymous people for YOUR problem. You used to come over as a more thoughtful, spiritual person. But that obviously is not you. Perhaps you were just a wannabee. If anyone smokes around me, I just politely request that they stop or move away. Problem solved. What are you talking about "my future"?? Are you completely retarded? Have you ever seen me write about smoking or even smoking in public? Can you not see that you are coming over like those right wing idiots who assume everyone is a Democrat? What happened to you? Have you cracked your skull on something? There is no issue with public smoking. That was a PT bargaining chip. Are you really that obtuse? No need to start a thread on a forum in order to start a fight out of frustration with your existence. You are being hysterical. Man up!

@Hummin You have told us multiple times about the background for your poll.... So if it nothing else, then what is the point of the poll? I am telling you, you are behaving strangely. Not making sense and ranting and accusing people of which you have no knowledge at all. Yet you want to assert that you are the normal one. That's not how it looks from here. You know that I do not lie nor try to mislead. If I tell you your behaviour is off the wall....it's off the wall.

@Hummin They ONLY person who seems to be annoyed/angry/ranting...is you. I'm actually astounded. You've totally gone off the rails , but choose to insist that it is everyone else who has done so. Even people who might agree with you are pulling back as you are acting so weirdly. Have you turned into @fredwiggy? Seriously perturbing. You are literally ranting and in denial. It's you, no one else. Where in your poll do you reference "public annoyance"?

@Kinnock @isaanistical If one of these models; - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 5G - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G - Samsung Galaxy S20+ (S20 Plus) - Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra - Samsung Galaxy S21 FE - Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra - Samsung Galaxy S22 - Samsung Galaxy S22+ (S22 Plus) - Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and you bought it in Thailand, you can get a free screen replacement or can accept an alternative offer of a discount coupon or 20% of the list price back. https://www.thaimobilecenter.com/content/samsung-free-repair-for-screen-lines.asp

@sandyf I'm not missing the point. The OP hasn't expressed budget considerations. How is sourcing an original quality screen more difficult than sourcing an inferior one? You aren't fairly sure about anything, that's just more nonsense from you. Perhaps you didn't note that I actually provided a link to both a lower quality and an original quality screen. Not only that, but an actual review of the performance of one of the cheaper screens What is it that you have provided in this thread, other than being argumentative for no good reason? Do you think it better that no one understands the caveats? Where you somehow offended by my insistence of not using Tukcom? I wouldn't, simply as I have taken three phones to them over time and they broke them all. Added to the likelihood of them using cheaper components, it's a no from me. The OP can obtain an cheaper screen, but either way, it's better that they understand the caveats. Your arguing is a pointless waste of energy.

What do Tony Woodsome and John Barron have in common? 😊

@sandyf There are significant differences in the quality of the screens. For example, the phone in question may have at least three different options. Cheapest a TFT LCD that has poorer colour reproduction and only operates at 60Hz. The original has a 120Hz refresh rate. Simple illustration may be scrolling through your picture album. The higher refresh rate will make scrolling much more fluid. You would absolutely notice a difference in performance. Next OLED. Again, a lower refresh rate from the original, at 90Hz. Here's an example of someone unknowingly fitting a cheaper screen: https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS21/comments/1cci990/screen_replaced_with_new_oem_screen/ I know about this, as I have an iPhone that needed a screen replacement. A bit of research showed me that there were different qualities and the shops around Tukcom were telling me that their screens weren't quite up to standard. 80% of the colour reproduction of the original was her statement. That was only because I did some research and knew what to ask. I sourced myself an OEM standard screen at half the price they were quoting and took it to a specialist(not around Tukcom) to fit(500 baht). He immediately told me that my screen was an original. The other have washed out colours and some functions won't work. Of course if the OP is happy with a lower quality screen... you should ask them, not me. But your guess of a clone being under 1000 baht is very obvious nonsense. You literally just made that up. 😊 A clone will be closer to 5,000 baht. For 1,000 baht, expect to be disappointed.

@piston broke I would state exactly the opposite. In fact I went there and bought meat and other items that were cheaper and better than at Makro. Your man just makes things up to suit his mood a fair bit of the time. I've bought chicken from Makro that wasn't good the next day and chicken from Go that was cheap and good. So you can get bad meat from either shop on a 'bad' day. Buyer beware.
