Their bites are not only bad because of the bacteria in the saliva. They also have primitive venom glands, but the worst part is their teeth. They're long, pointy and razor-sharp. If you get bit by one on the hand, you'll most likely need reconstructive surgery to reattach nerves and tendons.

They're fascinating animals, though.

From my research it could be tinnitus if it's generated randomly, but mine is only happen when moving my mouth, so linked to movement... 

 

I did think if it was related to my motorbike riding, but I doubt it...! 

Tinnitus is a ringing tone, not a crackling one. I've had tinnitus for 30 years now. I used to have that crackling sound as well many years ago for a while. It resolved on its own. I had a suspicion it might have been earwax, but I've never gotten it checked out. My first guess would be earwax, but since you've got that taken care of, maybe it's something behind the eardrum that sticks to the inside? Have you had a sinus infection or a running nose recently?

Maybe it's got something to do with your lower jaw. If the joint has an issue that doesn't cause problems, it might result in a crackling sound. Although, the crackling sound I had sounded more like the smacking sound when someone eats noisily.

I didn't say that there weren't.  I actually said the exact opposite.  Please read replies properly before replying.  You're wasting everyone's time with your silliness.

Well, it's not my fault that your posts come across a certain way. So don't be surprised if people respond accordingly! And if anyone wastes anyone's times with their silly posts then that's you!

Indeed. She was in the water the whole time to stay cool. Water amplifies the effect of UV (as does snow) through reflection. That said, UV and UV reflection is not temperature dependent.

Happened to one of my sisters as well when she came to visit me in Thailand. I warned her multiple times about baking in the sun, especially since she came in February, which is winter time in Germany. She wouldn't listen and paid the price big time because on the secone evening the skin on her belly started to peel in sheets. My response was, I hate to tell you, but I told you so and I don't want to her any moaning about it either! Some people just have to learn the hard way!

This is why you cannot understand it.  You have a fundamentally incorrect belief about the topic.

Riiiiiiight! 😂😂😂 Keep your head in the sand then!

Does Thailand let biological males that identify as females compete in women's sports?

I don’t know, but I would assume not, and rightfully so. What I meant by why can’t it be like in Thailand, is acceptance. In Thailand you can be whatever you want and no one bats an eyelid. Only in the west they get all bent out of shape over transsexuals and sexual orientation!

So, person A believes that the label "woman" should refer only to biological females, while person B believes the label should also apply to males who identify as women, yet the former is "extremely ignorant" and the later is (presumably) enlightened and progressive?

 

Can you explain this bizarre stance at all?

It’s pretty obvious! There are transgender people in this world who identify as the opposite sex of their biological sex.That’s a fact! And if you don’t want to believe that or think it’s abnormal or whatever then you’re the problem. Live and let die, mate! 

Condos can be owned outright. As far as I know, if you lease land and you build on it and they won’t renew the lease they will have to reimburse you for the house you built on it.

If you have 40 million Baht to invest for three years, you can invest it either  into a government fond, real estate or other activities approved by the BOI. This will give you the right to buy one rai of land, on which you can build a house or buy one rai that already has a building on it. There’s conditions attached to it, though. You can’t turn the property into a business, like a rental or accommodation business and you have to live in it yourself. If you have the cash, then this will be by far your best option.

Obviously the guy had experience handling these snakes with the content in his phone.

 

How do they actually know he was planning to gain media attention or this was for online content?

 

The snake was placed back in its cloth bag, not left to roam the room.

 

The snake handler would know that a snake bite from this creature would be fatal without speedy medical care and assistance.

 

How do they know this was a social media stunt and not a controlled suicide?

 

Not saying it was, but it is a possibility.

The article doesn’t state that the bag was closed. Cobras like dark, tight spaces, it would technically be possible for the snake to have gone into the bag by itself. What I don’t understand is why he didn’t go to a hospital after he got bit. So suicide would be one option or maybe he was allergic to the venom and went into anaphylactic shock before he could get to the hospital.

actually the southern insurgency since 1948 is the Asian version of ongoing Israel/ Palestine conflict.

Oh, I’m sorry. I had no idea that there could be only one equivalent to that conflict in Thailand.

Very true. A big win for BIOLOGICAL women, the ONLY kind of women.

Basically, well-meaning but simpleminded people believed that they were doing the right thing.  It became trendy to do things to prevent "trans women" from feeling bad.  It was tolerated for quite a while, then gradually, people realised how much harm it was doing to women and children, and things slowly started to creep back to sanity.

Nope. This isn’t an insanity thing. I’m all for trans rights. Their lives are already difficult enough as it is without the discrimination thing. I’ll never understand why it can’t be like in Thailand everywhere in the world?! And it’s not doing any harm to women or children either, but male to female transitioners obviously can’t compete against biological women because of their unfair advantage.

I don't like her much and think she is too young for her position but the "uncle" thing is just a beat up. It is just polite on Thai culture to call an older person 'Loong' or 'Na' both meaning uncle. It would have been rude of her to call him something else. 

I know… but she’ll has to go over this either way.

You mean, "It's all over the Iranian news!"  I asked for a credible source.

Yeah, well. Keep your head in the sand then! No skin off my nose, but they did give the information to the Israelis. There’s no two ways about it, whether you can get your head around it or not!

Well, I guess she won’t be doing that anymore! Some lessons, although so obvious, need to be learned the hard way!

Why do so many people think that ultra violet light has anything to do with heat? Worst sunburn I ever had was while spring skiing.

Because it is the UV light and snow reflects sunlight much more so than soil does! You can even get sunburned while sitting in the shade, if the surrounding buildings reflect the sunlight. Happened to me on a north facing hotel balcony in Pattaya once. 

This is the Asian version of the Israel/Palestine conflict. It just keeps going on and on and on and on and on and on!!!

You really have no idea what you say as long as it shows your hate for Trump. 

#1. Why would you be shown anything about ramped up productions or armament. 

#2. Why would the US een ramp up production yet, the OP clearly states the reason may be because the stockpile is diminishing due to excessive sales to Ukraine. So no ramp up in production would not even have begun yet.

Please stop twisting OPs just to show your anti-Trump rhetoric. 

Oh please, the reason why they stepped on Iran was to force them into a ceasefire because Israel was about to run out of missiles for their useless iron dome as well and the US can’t supply them endlessly either, plus they will need a reserve for their own defense. So they will either have to ramp up production or stop supporting other countries. 
 

By the way, all the hate Trump receives is WELL deserved!!! Such a shame that guy missed the bullseye a few months back! Would have done the world a favor!

Perhaps you could provide a link to a credible  source which indicates Rossi gave Israel  information useful to its bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities.

It’s all over the news! Do your own homework!

   The Mossad didn't need Grossi to tell them the names of Iran's nuclear scientists.  They just had to read newspapers and magazines. The men who were assassinated held very visible positions.  Most were academics attached to various universities or institutes.  Some edited scientific journals.  Iran made no attempt to conceal the identities of nuclear scientists and technicians.

There’s absolutely zero doubt that the guy gave Israel all the information they needed to attack their nuclear facilities and now they cry for Iran to continue to let them in so they can get more information out of them! The regime in Iran definitely needs to go, but they’re right when it comes to all the nuclear <deleted>. I wouldn’t let them in either anymore after that! 

Hmmm. I can’t put my finger on it, but something tells me she’s either gonna have an attitude change or she’s gonna die alone!
