Swiss man who allegedly assaulted Thai doctor faces additional charges
pacovl46 replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
It just gets getting better and better. Future Thesaurus editions will have a picture of that guy next to the expression "Karma is a biatch!" 😂😂😂 -
I would just get them powder coated. First with zink and then any color you want. This will protect them more or less forever. Especially once they're on the roof and covered by the roof because I have a suspicion, if you don't treat them at all that they will eventually rust due to the humidity in Thailand. Alternatively just paint them yourself with a zink paint and then regular paint suitable for metal.

Swiss Expat Charged with Bodily and Mind Harm in Phuket Kicking Incident
pacovl46 replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
So where are your hi-so connections now, Mr. Loudmouth?! How I love guys like that! First they run their big, fat <deleted> mouth, "you know who I am? Do you know who I know?", and then when the <deleted> hits the fan they apologize "profusely" to try to save their asses! I hope he gets deported because he needs to be taught a lesson! -
Tuk tuks and taxis: Bangkok’s solution to overcharging crisis

The fair price I want to pay is what the meter says at the end of the ride!!! -
How many people warn against melatonin and how many do not? I was recently in a pharmacy in Germany. In front of me was an old woman who asked for melatonin. When he asked her which one she wants because it comes in different concentrations and he didnt have the exact one she wanted in stock, they got into a bit of a discussion in which she mentioned that she has sleeping troubles and since she's been taking the one she asked for she can sleep. I would do some more research in melatonin in terms of recommended dosage and give it a try. Having said that, it's a myth that one should sleep for 8 hours straight without waking up. Mist people wake up at least once and that's perfectly normal. I wake up at least once, too to "drain the sea monster!" What I also find is, if I'm online all day my brain has no time to think about stuff and as soon as I go to bed all these thoughts about God and the world go through my head, which makes it difficult to fall asleep. If I go offline an hour before I go to bed and read a book I don't have that problem for some reason. I also think that 25 degrees is probably too hot for a westerner to sleep comfortably, since the ideal temperature apparently is 18 degrees Celsius. Maybe try lowering the temperature to around 21. If you live in a noisy area, like next to a road or where there's a pack of street dogs living nearby, I'd give ear plugs a try because if they start barking it'll will disturb your sleep as well. I started using earplugs 2 years ago and never looked back. I sleep better now. Then it's also possible that you might have sleep apnea because if you sleep on your back your tongue will relax and cover your airway and then you're literally asphixiating until you wake up and take a big breath. This can also lead to heart problems over time/exacerbate an existing one.

Yeah, that's true. -
Tuk tuks and taxis: Bangkok’s solution to overcharging crisis
pacovl46 replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
There's a pretty simple solution to the overpricing: as soon as they ask me how much I want to pay I walk away and go to the next guy until I find one who either wants to use the meter or give me a fair price in fhe case of motorbike taxis and tuk tuks.- 90 replies

Deport the <deleted>!

Of course there need to be tougher restrictions in the US when it comes to gun ownership and especially on how to keep them. No doubt about it! That's not my issue, though. All I'm saying is that prohibition never works, which is what the opposition always says. They think by prohibiting guns the gun crimes will stop, which is deluded wishful thinking! Especially in the US with their wild west attitude where they've had the constitional right to bear arms for 200 plus years and everyone and their dog has one. Getting rid of all those guns is literally impossible and a prohibition would also not stop gun crimes. A lot of the gun crimes in the US are crime related. Gangs dealing drugs fighting over turfs. They need to fix their internal issues. Free health care, free education all the way through university and legalizing drugs. They should produce all drugs themselves, sell it cheaply through pharmacies to anyone who wants them over the age of 21 and tax it. Offer better quality and a cheaper price than the gangs and they won't have any turf to fight over literally over night because no one would buy their overpriced and cut up <deleted> anymore.

Well, I guess he got what he wanted - becoming a martyr. If they try to kill you by poisoning you and you decide to still go back ro Russia then you have to have a death wish. He could've lead his fight against Putin from literally anywhere in the world. Germany would've granted him asylum in a heartbeat. Also, he knew he would get arrested for "violating his parole" by leaving Russia to get treated for the poisoning in Germany because the responsible bureau issued a statement to that regard after he announced his plans to return to Russia.

Right! Like prohibiting alcohol in the US totally got rif of alcohol! If you ban guns all that does is strengthen the already existing black market over there, but it won't stop gun crimes! It most likely wouldn't even put a dent in it. They need to strengthen the laws and make changes to how guns are being kept in the US because most guns used in crimes were stolen from vehicles and broken into homes because they leave their guns laying around in their houses and cars, which makes for easy access.

Don’t waste your breath! They’ll never learn, just like conspiracy theorists. No matter how much hard evidence you present to them they won’t go for it because they’re the gurus, the enlightened ones, the one who know and the rest of the world are just stupid sheep.

I seriously hope it will backfire on them! -
Small centipede bite...Good God was that painful!
pacovl46 replied to lordgrinz's topic in Health and Medicine
Just get mosquito screens and screen doors for your place and they can't get in. Poison is always tricky, especially when you have other pets and a child. -

That's way over the top in my opinion! A simple statement to clarify the situation would've been more than. Unless the post in question contained insults. -
Altercation Turns Violent: Englishman and wife injured in Knife Duel
pacovl46 replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
It depends. Normally as soon as the threat is eliminated you're not allowed to use deadly force anymore, as far as I know. Since he took the knife from her, the knife wasn't a threat to him anymore, if he then cut her intentionally, he can be held responsible. If it's true what the article says and she continued to physically attack him while he had the knife and she got accidentally cut during the struggle then he can't be held responsible. At this point it's he-said, she-said, though, and now it depends on whom the judge will believe. Since she's already admitted that she attacked him with the knife, it's not looking good for her. -
British man dies in failed parachute jump from Pattaya condo
pacovl46 replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
A regular parachute used for skydiving wouldn't be suitable for such a low jump, that's why they use special base-jumping chutes that are smaller and open a lot quicker. From that height you'd have to pull the chute immediately, though. Any delay for whatever reason will most likely be fatal.
