Same with Alexa or Siri. Everything heard by the microphone is sent to the servers for “processing“...

You imply there is only one. My count has it around 6.

What is your favourite British Cuisine?
Not anymore...

What is your favourite British Cuisine?
That's not British food. It's Indian. Just because it's now very popular in Britain doesn't mean it's now British. The popularity of Indian food there is due to the low quality local cuisine offered. I postulate that if the Thais had been in Britain before the Indians, Thai food would be the #1 food there.

Did you decide to stay in Thailand forever? Will you stay forever?
Affording the Dr. in the US is not the issue. It's whether you have insurance or not. Most employed are covered, seniors are covered to an extent, not as good as employer's plans without kicking in extra money per month. Unemployed of course are not covered in most cases.

Is it me or Phnom Penh is actually kinda expensive ?
Go to Kampot. Check out the local pepper. Best in the world. They used to have a suicide assistance guest house there too in case you're interested. Snooky is a waste of time since the Chinese took the place over.

Kind of hard to vote for recommended candidates, especially since I have blocked many of them due to the useless drivel in their posts.

Motorbike shopping Pattaya
Honda big bike has a sale on. The 500 scrambler was 279k 6 months ago(MSRP is 229). Last week I was there and they had it listed at MSRP but would give 20k off. Some show this month they said. Other models were discounted too.

Transferring Visa to new passport
I decided to do my renewal here instead of in Canada. Appointment in a week or so. I will insist I don't leave the embassy without my old passport. Are you aware that for around $50 CDN extra they will leave your old passport active and valid until the new one is generated? Doing the NR-O again after a tourist entry is simple, especially since you already have the funds in country(I assume). I had to do that 5 years ago when I got a new passport in Canada and didn't get the special letter required at the time to state I was the same person. Easier and cheaper to restart the process than going to the embassy and getting it in Thailand.

Is using Wise better than using a no fee US debit card?
I used to use my Capital One atm card all the time for OTC withdrawals. It was difficult to find a bank that would do it, and the BKK bank I was using stopped doing it. I now use wise, and the cost difference between the two methods is negligible, at least up to a couple of thousand dollars. Go with wise, much easier than going into some bank and queuing up.

Plastic surgery freak show
The case that comes to mind is Jennifer Grey, from Dirty Dancing, who essentially destroyed her acting career by getting her large nose reduced.

Android - How can I copy all my apps from my old mobile phone to my new phone ?
You might get all your apps installed on the new device, but many of the settings in some won't get copied. Better start a new thread for that.

step down transformer for US stereo
Yes it does. A transformer will consume electricity even if it's doesn't have anything connected to the transformed side. The larger the transformer, the more electricity it will consume.

Thai HIV patient admits having one-night stands with many men
What convinced me was a paper I read around 2003 that said that in the heterosexual population with HIV, 89.6% were women. Likely, the 10.4% that were men with HIV were not being honest and had been involved in needle drugs or had taken it up the a$$ and didn't want to admit it. I would also disagree with your anal sex assessment. Even in the gay population in San Francisco, only the catchers would get infected, not the pitchers. So obviously anal sex is okay as long as you're not the receptacle. Lots if similarities between the HIV “common knowledge“ and the weed propaganda. It's reefer madness all over again.

Thai HIV patient admits having one-night stands with many men
Lucky for the men involved that, since there needs to be a transfer of body fluids from the infected, it is somewhat difficult to catch by the male in a heterosexual situation.
