  1. Drug decriminalization – alongside a serious investment in treatment and harm reduction services – has been proven to significantly improve public safety and health.

    Of course, I am dubious of Thailand's ability to undertake the critical element of drug decriminalization – namely, a serious investment in treatment and harm reduction services.

    I'll just leave these here...

    Decriminalization also kills the 'business" for the mafia's

  2. Mine is all over the place, had stays in Hospital 3 times over past 4 years with dangerously low blood pressure, [+ blurred and dizzy]... now must record morning and evening blood sugar + blood pressure and heart, so since my last spell in Hospital + new medication for low blood pressure.. No idea what it means, just think if I understood the Dr below 90 is 'Low' over 130 is 'High'

    aged 66, Diabetic + low blood pressure tablets for 20 years

    Morning are OK most days 118- 128 over 79 - 84, below are evening reading over past 12 days

    B.P + H

    120/77 + 87

    108/73 + 88

    96/62 + 84

    102/65 + 80

    115/78 + 80

    117/76 + 81

    123/81 +82

    79/52 + 80

    108/73 + 76

    94/61 + 84

    114/74 + 78

    80/54 + 77

    Thanks for the detailed reply which shows I should not worry too much but nevertheless monitor my blood pressure.

    How do you record your blood sugar : analysis made last week recorder 106 mg/Dl which is pre-diabetes but I want to monitor this now also.

  3. fvw53 re your sound problems, have you tried updating your sound and audio drivers ?

    Yes I did using Iobit Driver Booster

    Windows 10 built-in memory manager differs quite a lot from previous built-in memory managers of other Windows operating systems.

    Therefore update not only your driver but also your application to the latest available version.

    Yes your recommendation worked well and problems have gone ...I hope this is the final word from my side

    Thanks to TVF members !

  4. I am 72 and the last 6 years I had mild hypertension about 140 to 160 systolic and 60 to 70 diastolic (my diastolic numbers were never higher than 70)

    Now the last week I have surprising low blood pressure : morning about 95 to 100 over 55 to 60

    I do not feel dizzy except that morning I need more time to get in full action...

    I thought that with such hypotension I should be in an intensive care unit ...So I went for check up (electro cardio gram and blood analysis) showing all is OK for my age but the doctor does not reply my questions about what is going on with my blood pressure

    Question to TVF members : do some of you experience the same low blood pressure over a long period without any worry?

  5. Since my upgrade from Win 7 to Win 10 I have the problem that the sound of all video (online Youtube or off line VLC) has a stuttering sound.

    Many users face this stutter but I still not get a solution and it is too late to revert to Win 7

    Could I change the sound card (Realtek) and get a better one ?

  6. A two second Google in the news backroom would have shown a zillion photos of the guy...rolleyes.gif

    As for the "funny" comment, if it were YOUR dead famous father would it still be funny..?

    He was just a brain damaged boxer few had heard of in Thailand, not a world leader or great scientist. At least Ali had a sense of humor, when he could still laugh.

    Boxing is the human equivalent of cock fighting : damaging each other for money

    What is all the fuss about this guy who violently damaged the brains of others before becoming brain damaged himself ?

  7. Throw his Father and Mother in jail and see what family loyalty will do then.

    When he comes to face the music then release them.

    Targeting relatively-innocent parties such as Mum & Dad is despicable in most civilized countries, so leave them out of it.

    Besides, from the perp's lack of morals, I don't think that he would give a toss about his parents anyway,

    May-be he too suffers - like the Ethan Couch - from "affluenza"

  8. I'll bet the heads of the two in the cockpit were doing a bit an extreme side shuffle

    What are those cars doing on the runway waddy waddy deeb deeb....bleep bleep

    Lol.

    The term, "Pay peanuts, get monkies" rings true.

    On 31 October 2000 Singapore Airlines 006 crashed in Taiwan after taking a wrong (closed) runway : the circumstances may have been different but I guess the passengers on SG006 did not "pay peanuts". Pilot error remains a serious cause of accidents regardless the fares paid by the passengers.

  9. I thought 50 degrees was the absolute limit for human beings, the body cant get rid of the internal heat

    The highest temperature ever recorded in Pakistan is 53.5°C which was recorded in Mohenjo-daro, Sindh on 26 May 2010. It was not only the hottest temperature ever recorded in Pakistan but also the hottest reliably measured temperature ever recorded on the continent of Asia.

    I tried to put my hand in water of 55 C : I could not keep it more than a few seconds

  10. I cannot find anything on the internet about the root of the conflict.

    According to my Thai wife she heard something on a Thai TV channel that the conflict was about 'status' and that the two murdered profs had a degree from a US university while the murderer was angry that his degree from a Philippine University was considered as inferior.

    Any confirmation of this?

    I can only say there is a lot of snobbism in Thailand on the value of a university degree : I have Thai friends of the older generation with Philippine degrees who are brilliant company managers and I know there are Thais of a younger generation with a US degree who can hardly speak English.

    My university degree comes from one of Europe's oldest universities but when I got it I was reminded that I had not "arrived" and that in fact it was only a start and performance in professional life would make the difference. In Thailand this performance has of course other standards in the private sector (based on results) and in the government sector (based on connections).

  11. So are the missiles actually "defensive" anti-missile and/or anti-aircraft missiles, or are they "offensive nuclear deterrent" ICBM type ground strike missiles? In the latter case Putin is justified, in the former he is not. The latter seems unlikely. Perhaps Putin just wants a defenseless Poland (and Crimea and Ukraine) etc etc etc!!!!!

    Yes indeed those defense systems can only catch incoming missiles...and they cannot send anything out.

    According to Cocorico2558 ...if your neighbour has a very aggressive dog you cannot put up a fence because he will consider it as intimidating...

  12. After a previous divorce in Europe I got married in Thailand in 1988 and at that time I was 44 and my Thai wife 26 and we are still a happy couple

    To be more precise we are both satisfied and from time to time happy : indeed nobody can be permanently happy or unhappy because of the force of "getting used" or "routine"

    After our marriage we started a process of several years ....first with mutual respect...followed quickly by mutual trust..and soon by mutual friendship...and finally sweet Love

    Friendship and not sex or money are the basis of a long lasting marriage : how many people come home after a working day and are bored to be again at home because initially they were focused in their marriage only on sex and/or money?

    Love with capital L means one partner is focused on the well being of the other partner and vice versa.

    Love with small "l" is focused on what is the benefit for me

    In a long lasting relationship there is a balance between "love" and "Love" which is different for every relationship.

    After rebooting with the guidelines of above link I entered once more with the old unwanted Administrator account

    Now I am going to try to solution proposed by KhunBENQ and I will keep the kind TVF members updated

    Allelujah ...the video proposed by KhunBenq provided the right solution

    My mistake was that I had to disable from the unwanted Administrator account and not from my own Local Account (which had administrator status)
