  1. Lately I've been reading them on my TV. Fbreader loaded onto my android TV box. Much easier than holding a tablet. One button on the remote to turn the page. Can sync what you're reading too so pick up a tablet or phone and it knows where you stopped reading on the TV.
  2. I too recently changed from bbk bank to k-bank. First wise xfer from a USA bank took less than a minute. Under 100k baht.
  3. I thought the next Bond was a woman.
  4. Here's an unexpected surprise. Theaters in a couple of weeks and Netflix on March 12. https://www.imdb.com/video/vi3984246041/?playlistId=tt3155298&ref_=tt_ov_vi Luther, the movie.
  5. The branch I have been doing counter withdrawals at for years is the one that is now refusing. Same tellers and manager. As I stated, they actually ran my card through the same machine that has always worked in the past and it was rejected. Now they may have punched some buttons that caused it to fail, but I'm not familiar enough to determine that.
  6. I'd definitely get into these elephant pants.
  7. Good explanation. Let me add a bit. I used to use Bangkok Bank counter withdrawals exclusively to get cash. They recently stopped, saying their machines would no longer accept debit withdrawals, and they attempted to do one and it failed. I searched other banks and only Krungsri(sp?), the yellow one, would do the counter withdrawal, but limited to 15k per day. The old line used by the banks was that your card needed to be embossed or they couldn't accept it. Now it's cannot do with debit card. All silly games to make you use the ATM and pay the exorbitant associated fees. I've opened an account at K-Bank, the green one, with much less hassle than opening the bkk bank ones. I'll be using wise for foreign money and moving the money currently in bkk bank there also.
  8. You need to go to a different eye clinic. Who knows what snake oil is in the bottle they gave you. Maybe something that they concocted themselves.
  9. Marketing BS. The food stalls and the fixed wall stores have been open during the week for a long time. The portable shops will not be open during the week.
  10. Was the shooter from the United States?
  11. Lucky for you that you don't live next door to me...
  12. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/988054 Drinking one or two cocktails a day may protect against dementia, while having three or more could increase risk, new research suggests. Investigators assessed dementia risk using changes in alcohol consumption over a 2-year period in nearly four million people in Korea. After about 7 years, dementia was 21% less likely in mild drinkers and 17% less likely in moderate drinkers. Heavy drinking was linked to an 8% increased risk.
  13. Come on, it wasn't all bad. <sarcasm> Those tax cuts for the rich were the best thing for all Americans. </sarcasm>
  14. No pot in Thailand is worth 300 baht a gram when buying a kilo at a time. He's obviously trying to weasel out of his debt. I suspect the quality would be poor. If you did accept it, do you have a license to sell it?
  15. Here's my take on this, having just done an extension a few weeks ago in Jomtien. Go first thing in the morning, as soon as the doors open. They will call for people doing retirement extensions to come out of the queue so the 3 or 4 people waiting to serve them inside can get to work. Later in the day, the 3 or 4 are busy and you will need to stand in line. Makes sense if you think about it.
  16. Just curious, but do they look at assets other than real estate to decide if they will pay?
  17. Is fox news really accredited? Hard to believe.
  18. As I stated the tox3 box i got from AliExpress has the same specs but runs much better. 20 degrees c cooler too. 2 week delivery.
  19. Don't worry “comrade“. If you were Russian I wouldn't have given it to you anyway.
  20. Hk1 rbox x4. S905x4 4gb ram 64gb rom. Gigabit ethernet. Bidders?
  21. Haha. I'd throw it out before I did that. Offer 1000 and I'd consider it.
  22. Here's a similar model to the one I purchased that comes with a power adapter. I ordered one without as I have many adapters already and didn't need another. https://shopee.co.th/ORICO-4-7-Port-USB-3.0-HUB-with-12V-Power-Adapter-USB-Splitter-OTG-Adapter-For-Notebook-Desktop-Laptop-PC-Computer-H7928-i.329102920.6291548646?sp_atk=98799664-77e1-4282-bded-9bb32f0eb965&xptdk=98799664-77e1-4282-bded-9bb32f0eb965
  23. I bought a 64gb 4gb ram hk1 box. It was a POS. Overheated, occasionally dropping video, etc. It's now in a drawer. I replaced it with another box with similar specs, a TOX3. About 2500 baht in Thailand or 1500 on AliExpress. Rooted, no heat problems, no video dropping... And as for not getting android updates. I don't want them. Google keeps adding stuff to make them more secure, which can prevent me from doing something I want to do.
  24. Each USB port can handle one 2.5 inch hard drive. For more than that you need a powered USB hub. I recently picked one up on shopee and have 4 of those drives mounted and functional on it. Poor quality USB port in your tv would explain your scenario.
  25. So what you are essentially saying is that people who have a history riding big bikes are some of the friendliest you have met. I do agree. I might exclude harley riders though.
