  1. Sorry, but if you vote for a delusional, criminal, tax evading gasbag then the last thing you'll get from me is respect!
  2. If you ever almost drown, have gotten water in your lungs, but get pulled out in time and make it, go to the hospital immediately, regardless of whether you're feeling fine, because there is a thing called secondary drowning that can happen days later. The insides of your lungs are covered with a film that keeps your lungs from sticking together. If water gets in your lungs, that film can get washed off and cause your lungs to stick together and in that case you'll suffocate.
  3. While there are certainly crimes that warrant a death penalty, it simply doesn't work as a deterrent because murders are committed under two circumstances only. It's either planned and therefore they plan it accordingly so they won't get caught and therefore they don't care about the consequences or it's a heat of the moment thing where someone just loses it, and in that state of mind they're not capable of thinking about the consequences. The reason why it took 30 years in this case before they went through with the execution is that you have the option to appeal your sentence and it usually takes decades before all the appeals and options they have are finally exhausted.
  4. Overall I'd say it is different, but there's greedy individuals amongst every nation on the planet.
  5. Some heads will deservedly roll over this! How difficult is it to repair fire doors? And it's not like residents hadn't been complaining about it for quite some time! Plus they were issued an enforcement order by the fire brigade in 2023! The greed of some people is just ridiculous! What I also don't get is how they approved additional floors to be added despite the fact that a survey of the external walls came to the conclusion that the building didn't meet building regulations at the time of its construction!
  6. I've lived there for a year and had no idea it even existed. It's a shame, but I get it. With all the new malls that offer so much more than just movies, it's more or less inevitable. There was another mall in another town that I've frequented quite a bit. It was totally out of date, but people went there. Then within a year from each other first a Tesco and then a BIG C opened in the area and within another year Abloom Mall went out of bloom so to speak. It took me quite a while to get used to the fact that the Abloom logo wasn't lighting up my view at night anymore.
  7. Ok then! Don't need the CV, but thanks for offering! 🙂
  8. So disappointed right now! I thought this was gonna be an article about the Oasis reunion. 🤪
  9. Were you there and have examined the site? If not, then you can't possibly know what the situation is like.
  10. Like you can expertly diagnose the situation and what needs to be done from the comfort of your armchair....
  11. Yeah, thanks, but no thanks! 🤪
  12. Oops! My bad!
  13. You're right, I didn't. Was in a hurry. My bad!
  14. Oops, my bad! 🤪
  15. There's nothing you can do, apart from lying down and riding it out. What usually helps is just letting it happen without fighting against it and if you manage before you lay down putting on some music that you really like.
  16. Ants follow pheromone trails laid by scouts who found food. Get the gel stuff the other guy mentioned before to kill the queen mop the floor and sterilize it by using a disinfectant. That will get rid of the pheromone trails. I'd also use a disinfectant on every entry point, like your doorstep for example. This will probably only help, if the ants came in from outside and are not nesting in the house somewhere. I had ants once that came in from under the main door because I had some fruit in a bowl. I mopped and disinfected the floor and the hallway and then killed of all the ants inside and they never came back. If all of that doesn't help, I'd consider getting an anteater as a pet. 🤪
  17. I'd say it's not looking good for the second and third guy. If all the oxygen they have is the one in the cabin of their vehicles then they'll run out before they can get to them. Let's hope for the best, though!
  18. How many more times does this have to happen until they realize that you should not clear mountainsides of vegetation???? Whoever ordered the cut down should be held responsible!!!
  19. Well, he knows he's got jacksh#t and took the L!
  20. Yeah, zig zag is what I meant. I didn’t see the photo with the fallen over tree, but that’s always something that can happen when you plant trees because their roots need time to grow in. You can put two poles in the ground and use some rope to tie the tree to the poles so it can’t fall over. You have to make sure periodically that the rope isn’t cutting into the tree, though and after one to two years you can remove the poles. I’ve never planted them myself, but friends of mine have some. I’d rather go for the pencil trees than bamboo because bamboo isn’t really non-see-through unless you plant a little forest and it also grows like hell, so you’ll need to manage it constantly. If privacy is your top priority I’d go for gabions. It’s those stone/pebble filled metal mesh cages used to build garden walls. They’re definitely not see-through and you can plant them with evergreen plants that will cover the entire wall over time. That’s probably your best, but also most expensive option and I’m not sure whether they’re available in Thailand, but any metal shop could make them for you. They would need to be Zink coated afterwords or Zink powder coated and then powered coated with a regular paint to prevent them from rusting away. Alternatively you could just put a couple of stainless steel poles in the ground and connect them with stainless steel wires and then plant that heavily with evergreen climbing plants.
  21. I'd take dealing with a king cobra over a spitting cobra any time of the day. Spitters are nasty and while inhaling the venom they spray can't harm you, it can lead to an allergy over time, but this usually only applies to people who keep them as pets.
  22. So, in Macau 10% of the population visit casinos and if you apply the same metrics in Thailand you get to 37 million??? Since when does Thailand have a population of 370 million?
  23. If you want no gaps then you'll need to plant two rows. The second row will be planted in between, but in front of the trees of the first row. Just like the white and black tiles on a chessboard.
