I watch as each item is scanned and my brain is like a computer. I know, most times, what the total bill should roughly be. I do know exactly what change (if any) I should get back and verify it, always! I have corrected cashiers numerous times. Both for my benefit and theirs. Just last week I corrected a cashier as she scanned one item and then hit the x4 key on the register thinking I bought 4 when in reality I bought 2 of 2 different items. Yes, they looked identical but one was actually a little bigger than the other so different pricing.

Crop theft dispute escalates to shooting in quiet Phuket town
dingdongrb replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
"........Songkran Rawangpai was admitted with a gunshot wound on the back of his right arm." "Frustrated by the situation, Sitthiporn fired his firearm without aiming directly at the man.” An auto aiming air gun? I was expecting the crop to be cannabis. -
Water outage: Phuket homes brace for supply disruption
dingdongrb replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
We've experienced a few days in the last couple of weeks where water service was disrupted. We've always been given fair notice and it was always identified as being off from 9am until 5pm. If they said 'until the completion' that would definitiely worry me as I know how slowly Thais can work at times. -
Escaped Taiwanese drug lord ran trafficking ops from Cambodia prison

Really, the need to blur out handcuffs in a picture? -
That's half of it and the other half relies on the plumbing connected to the toilet outlet. I used to rent a house in CM years ago that one bathroom's toilet would barely suck down a single piece of 2-ply TP. After the landlord made useless attempts at trying to clear the drain it was later found (after digging up the back of the house) that the drainage pipe had a sharp 90 degree elbow less than a foot from the toilet outlet which restricted the water flow substantially. Not only that elbow piece but whoever built the house connected a 2 inch pipe out of the toilet.

I'm guessing that any driver killed by making a food delivery fits in one of these categories: - Wearing no helmet - Not following road rules (speeding, weaving in/out of traffic, not signaling, etc.) - Looking at his/her phone NOTE: I always tip delivery drivers.

I have always been a pretty generous tipper. I find that by doing so I am treated differently during future visits. (Perhaps fans positioned towards me or larger portions of pork in my soup....etc.) I also find it rewarding to reward others for doing a good serviced task. (karma) My most memorable moment about tipping was 20 years or so ago when I lived in Southern China. I bought a pack of cigarettes which I believe was 7 or 8 rmb at the time. I gave the clerk a 10 rmb note, gestured her to keep the change and proceeded to leave the store. She came running out of the store down the street waving the change at me. I kind of moved her arm back away from me informing her I didn't want the 2 or 3 rmb change. She insisted I take it and actually tossed it at my feet and ran off back to the store. The next day at work I asked one of my Chinese colleagues about what had occurred. He said that the Chinese are not accustomed to tipping and the clerk didn't want to be blamed for 'stealing' the money, thus refusing the tip.

Exactly! No different than any Immigration Office. NOTE: Depends on Office, Officer........ and the phase of the moon.

So how does a person build a house builder? Is that like building a robot that can hammer a nail or put down tile?

recycling old computer boards and drives
dingdongrb replied to bkkexplorer's topic in IT and Computers
If you live in Banwangtan in Chiang Mai then they have a few bins next to the main gate to put electronics and hazardous waste in. I have used them a few times adding an old printer and oven as well as some excess painting materials. Just after unloading that table-top oven (top burner was broken) I looked in my rearview mirror as I was driving away only to see the security guard taking it out of the bin and placing it in the guard's shanty. Looks like he wanted new project. -

Bruce's in Severance Colorado has the best Rocky Mountain Oysters......but I am sure you've already had some from there and claim theirs is the worst and you've had better somewhere else in the world. I just luv it when I find someone that's continuously trying to knock down the 'top dog'.

How much does a Retirement Home cost in Thailand?
dingdongrb replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
No need to try, I know how to correctly set the date/time stamp on my phone or turn it off so I don't look like a complete idiot.... -
Then you must think filet mignon is a slice of Thai buffalo.

A brat, or bratwurst, is a type of German sausage that's made from pork and veal and seasoned with a robust spice blend. Hot dogs are usually made from beef, pork, or a combination. They're smaller than bratwurst and the seasonings are simpler.

Hotdogs....YUCK!!! Give me a Bucher bratwurst prepared on a charcoal grille, and of course placed on a hoagie bun while smothered with onions, sauerkraut, and spicy Dijon mustard.
