Did exactly that last night for the first time, Best peanut butter I ever had. I had to refrigerate it overnight to get the right consistency. You are right products destined for Thailand are made different than the identical US brand . A few months ago I saw Bunts Pizza sauce for sale at Macro. and being to lazy to make my own sauce I bought a can. After making the Pizza it tasted sweet, and I was baffled. I only put a smali pinch of sugar in my yeast proof to wake up the yeast, Did I put too much? I was confused. and then I tasted the Hunts Pizza Sauce. It was loaded with sugar!!

"“Despite the focus on EV fires in the news,” the researchers concluded, “they are not inherently more dangerous than gas or hybrid vehicles, although electric fires tend to be more difficult than gas fires to extinguish " https://www.kbb.com/car-news/study-electric-vehicles-involved-in-fewest-car-fires/

I came visa exempt last October In Khon Kaen and did exactly what you propose , Not a problem, noone even batted an eye. But I was out of Thailand for only four months and before departing I has a one year extension to stay. Also everyone at the IO know both me and the wife because we have been there hundreds of times. I don't think you would have a problem. But why don't you have the wife call them ? Here in KKC they always unswere an are always helpful with information, I am sure it is probably the same in Nan. Have a good trip , I am sure you are excited to be getting back, Where in the US are you?

Woke up this morning and as I do every morning scanned the headlines in Googles news, and I was greeted by this wonderful news . I am sure you will see it soon. It was reported by all the major papers, but I chose the Guardian because it is not behind a paywall and is accessible to most. "Gulf Stream could collapse as early as 2025, study suggests " https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jul/25/gulf-stream-could-collapse-as-early-as-2025-study-suggests "The Gulf Stream system could collapse as soon as 2025, a new study suggests. The shutting down of the vital ocean currents, called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (Amoc) by scientists, would bring catastrophic climate impacts. Amoc was already known to be at its weakest in 1,600 years owing to global heating and researchers spotted warning signs of a tipping point in 2021. The new analysis estimates a timescale for the collapse of between 2025 and 2095, with a central estimate of 2050, if global carbon emissions are not reduced. Evidence from past collapses indicate changes of temperature of 10C in a few decades, although these occurred during ice ages."

The problem is not that it is hot in the summer, the problem is that it is Record Hot. If every summer is record hot, it means that it is getting hotter. You are confusing weather , with Climate. The weather in Memphis was warmer back then. But the Earth's climate was not, Otherwise the overall temperature would not be reaching RECORD temperatures, The word record indicates higher than normal .

The politics of personal destruction. What a shame that we have gotten to this point. ????

I make my own also but the macro buns with sesame seeds was not bad, if you toast the inside in a frying pan with a bit of butter. You roles look great.

Here in Khon Kaen it rains heavy with winds every night.for the past few days

You would need a good flashlight.

I don't think so, but it could be delayed in the mail. My Uncle is the postmaster general for the Nigerian post system, If You send me $240 , in small unmarked bills I can help expedite its delivery.

I agree with you. You want good bread here in Thailand. Make it yourself . And as you said it would take you longer to go buy it than to make it. Before I retired , all these thing were to me magic that cake from factories. They say "necessity is the mother of invention" . When I retired and moved to Thailand I could not find good bread, so I thought I try my hand in making it. I was imaged how easy it was , Yeast, water , flour , and a pinch of salt. I like caraway seeds. Throw everything in the mixxer for a few minutes, let rise while you are doing something else. fold a couple of times. let rise again and bake. Eat what you want that day, refrigerate the rest. Mayonnaise why does anyone even buy the stuff? a couple of eggs , oil , a bit of lemon or vinegar. stick blender if you have one (on lazada for 500 baht) and you have the best tasting fresh mayo. Pickles? equal parts of Vinegar and water, salt, a few cloves of garlic, and if you like spice a bit of pepper flakes, In a jar, for 9 days. I have two jars always going, Once one is empty I start another one , Always have one ready to eat. As you said YouTube is your friend. Back in the US a neighbor was throwing out a nice side by side refrigerator, I asked what was wrong with it, He said it was always icing inside he had enough of it , he is getting a new one, I asked if I could have it to play around. Went on YouTube and typed the name and model with the word icing inside. The vid told me what was wrong (a sensor) showed me where to find it , (behind the light in the back) and they even had a link to sell me the part. $15 dollars later I had a nice refrigerator for my Garage that I had for years. Same with the lawnmower, all it needed was a $19 carburetor an 15 min of elbow grease

I have 24 and all are close associates or family. Actually FB is very corrosive in that it portraits an unrealistic picture of ones life that can make others feel inadequate. I read an article about it a while back. I remember of one example where the person took a picture of a beautiful sunset with natural scenery . Who would not be envious of that, What the picture did not show was that on the other side there was fish cannery . If I remember correctly. My wife always takes pictures of the great food she eats, and places she goes and makes her friends jealous, but she never takes pictures of all the food she burns LOL.

Its a problem. I have altered my name , and B-day on facebook , My friends only know me by the picture, Not sure if it helps, or if they care who I am. Funny thing is that my friends keep sending birthday wishes on the wrong day. I always thank them and ask them if I realy wook forty LOL. Always If you get a request for vital info, always not respond or hung up and , contact the friend or call the institution yourself.

I am soo disappointed, I was hoping for at least silver. ????

I though so

Ok why don't you explained it to me.

And he still does. Obviously you have no idea what Mearsheimer claims, Have you even listen to one of his lectures? So another arguable opinion paper on Mearsheimer but no contradicting evidence Please take one thing he said and contradict it. Mearsheimer offered quotes why he thought Puttin was not lying , please point out the section where evidence is presented that he was. He does not even attempt to "get " Ukraine in any way. Of course any people would fight against an invasion of their country. He only attempts to explained how we got there. Do you disagree how we got there/ and if so why? I am getting tired of this, I actually have a life. I hope you appreciate the effort I put in trying to engage you all in a rational conversation. I see that this is not possible and I am wasting my breath. Have a good day.

I am sure you don't

O...K , Its your world, we just in it. Sorry to bother you.

I and most experts disagree , but I am will to hear what brought you to that conclusion. No friend of mine , never even met the man. And neither did I, please point our where I did. .And so did I, again please point out where I did, and please refrain from putting words in my mouth. A pretentious avatar does not give you the right. I don't see how his wikipedia page is relevant,But to your point. I do even better I listen to the man. As I said , take one thing that he said, disagree with , and offer contradicting evidence not just opinion , One thing , only one thing. I am not holding my breath.

But not as much as dead

So you think record temperatures were always happening? Do you kn ow what the word "Record" means? You do understand the difference between weather and climate . Right?

Again there are those , and the preponderance of evidence that would disagree with you. But you are entitled to your opinion. Of course it is also possible that all this rising water will run of the edge of the world and the problem will solve itself. ????

There are those who disagree with you.

Isn't it a bit early to be drinking?????
