  1. The way I understand it, the original dosage on the drug when it was first introduced was 0.3 mg, or 300 micrograms. The larger dosages are for marketing purposes only. I take 1/4 of a 5mg tablet daily. Taking 5 or 10mg has a result that is no different than taking 0.5mg. Melatonin is not your typical sleeping aid which knocks you out. It just gives you a bit of a nudge towards sleep. This nudge is sufficient for some.
  2. Please explain what you mean by "turn things around". More tax cuts for the rich? More stooges in important government positions? More civil liberties stolen? If Trump gets back into power he will attempt to become another Putin. Too bad for his supporters he isn't smart enough to be successful. He would again be a puppet of whatever "strong man" leader that is dominating him that week, just like when he was in power.
  3. How old are you anyway? Funny you haven't figured this out by now. It's the same all over the world, not just Thailand. The sales <removed> will tell any lie they can think of to extract as much money as possible from your pocket. Not just vehicle sales, everything you buy has the same problem.
  4. Bill Maher has an interesting take on woke. Well worth a watch..
  5. The US is in the middle of collapse. Expect a dictator similar to Putin to be running it in 10 years.
  6. Yes, maybe you can find somewhere relatively safe. But unless you expect to die tomorrow, you need to concern yourself with what may happen in 5 or 10 years. Who knows what cartel may spring up down the road from your residence. And remember, it's a country where the government is clearly unable to control the criminals, so you can't rely on them. Five years ago your argument was used about many of the resort areas where murders, kidnapping, robberies, etc are now prevalent.
  7. The title says it all...
  8. This one appears to not be very bright either. He was carrying a nail gun. His social media posts from the time indicated he thought he could get through the bulletproof glass but his attempts failed. Even though I haven't seen any reporting about it, it's obvious to me he thought the nail gun could break the glass. Soon to be discussed on your favorite news source...
  9. There's a 2009 movie with the same tifle, also excellent. Russell Crowe, Ben Affleck, Helen Miren. Remake of the tv series. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0473705
  10. The operation was actually performed, not on screen obviously.
  11. You'll have to watch it till the end. I'd hate to spoil it for you.
  12. Some of us have brains of our own and don't need Fox News to tell us what to think. Not nearly enough of us though...
  13. Have you seen the one yet where they do a sex change operation on a baby?
  14. Saw Bob Odenkirk(Saul from BCS) on Bill Maher a few weeks back where they discussed his start in a skit comedy series from HBO in the 90's called "Mr Show with Bob and Doug". Found it on TPB. He sure has some talent. If you're into skit comedy, this is a winner. Isn't it funny how good comedians make great actors but it generally doesn't work the other way.
  15. Mexico #1? Ha. I would have retired there 25 years ago but the drug cartels and the associated violence killed that(pun intended). I don't think much has changed.
  16. I had a 2011 650R which I purchased new. It came with a sticker indicating 91 octane.
  17. I have Vanguard MF's and use a foreign address. When changed from a US address to a foreign one, Vanguard closed my brokerage account but had no problem at all keeping the MF's open. Mutual funds can be transferred between companies without a tax hit if you keep the money in the same fund. Try Vanguard or Schwab to see if they can help you.
  18. Anyone that watches Code 404, season 3 has dropped.
  19. And hopefully they stay that way.
  20. It's part of being a landlord, not just in Thailand but anywhere. Tenants break leases all the time. If it's too much for you then you need to get out of the business.
  21. I run Linux exclusively on my laptops and desktops for at least the last 10 years. I use no antivirus or firewall software on any of them and have had no problem. You need to realize the virus cretators target the most prevalent systems which are obviously windows and apple. With linux being a comparably much smaller segment, they have little reason to target it. Your firewall has no reason to be in your laptop/desktop regardless of the OS. Much better to do that in your router.
  22. Thanks for the reference. Looks good. And it reminded me that I still haven't watched the final season of Shameless...
  23. I just started downloading through TPB a 2008 series called The Fixer. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1204507/ It looks like it is something that would be appreciated here.
  24. And another one's gone And another one's gone And another one bites the dust You know the tune, at least hum along
