How to deal with an overwhelmingly negative opinion of Thai people.
Maybe not. It might not be your odor but something else about you that they disdain. As I don't know you, I can't hazard to guess what it is. All I can state is that I don't have the same reaction from the locals as you.

Sounds to me like you need to take more showers. The examples you state never happen to me.

Would you try Lab grown meat ?
You do know that canola oil is rapeseed oil, right?

Change of Address online at Fidelity and Schwab While in Thailand - easy or any difficulty?
You're likely to need a state DL for the new address to change it. They're getting quite picky. Currently, state DL's address has supposedly been verified by the state and is therefore used by most of these companies. You may want to set up a fake base address in the US. Full time RV people use them all the time. BTW, Vanguard closed my brokerage account when I was using a foreign address.

What type of Laptop do you use?
One more thing on the original topic. I suggest people buy used/refurbished Thinkpads, not new ones. I'm currently using an X250, about 10 years old I think. When did Lenovo get sold by IBM? I'm looking around for an X1 carbon. Maybe they're too new and i should rethink it. A 15 year old Thinkpad is more than sufficient for what the OP was looking for.

Required strength CBD oil for a good night sleep
Most people don't know what research is. The majority these days think it's scouring the internet looking for some moron or website that agrees with their preconceived views on anything. There will always be someone on youtube that has your views and most can't see through the BS. Thanks for all the info you provide. Quite informative.

What type of Laptop do you use?
You need to be selective when buying Lenovo. The Thinkpads are high quality with the mil-spec ones being best imo. The IdeaPads are consumer grade and the same quality as Acer, etc. Mil-spec laptops are built more ruggedly than normal, and are designed for easy field repair. User and repair manuals, specs, etc. for all Thinkpads are available on thinkwiki.org for anyone lucky enough to have one.

Titan sub implosion: What we know about catastrophic event
It was built to withstand the pressure. They forgot to check the best by date though, as the technology used to build it degrades with time and repeated submerge cycles. The idea that they went quickly without foreknowledge is probably incorrect as one guy was saying they had declared an emergency and started ascent before it imploded. Yes, they went quick when it happened, but if this guy is correct they knew it was coming.

Would you try Lab grown meat ?
Vegetable based fake meat is garbage and should have never been invented. Lab grown meat is the future. The cost both financially and to the environment is tremendous for getting actual meat from live animals, including growing feed, growing animals, etc., etc.. Lab grown meat: no antibiotics, no parasites, much cheaper to produce, etc.. You may not like it, but in a few years it will be everywhere. Get used to it.

Yes, those lying conservative outlets should all be locked up.

More faux news propaganda. Give it a rest and stop posting all the drivel coming out of that cesspool.

Hunter Biden Got Special Treatment — Especially Harsh
https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/06/22/hunter-biden-got-special-treatment-especially-harsh-00103184 Tuesday's announcement that Hunter Biden, the president’s son, agreed to plead guilty to federal tax and firearm crimes drew widespread criticism from Republicans, who slammed it as a “sweetheart deal.” Actually, Biden was treated harshly and — based on what we know publicly — received more severe treatment than a typical defendant. The announcement of the charges by United States Attorney for Delaware David Weiss, a Trump appointee, should have been cause for celebration for anyone who believes in the rule of law. After all, although our system is imperfect, the fact that the son of the sitting president was investigated, prosecuted and convicted by the Justice Department demonstrates that no one is above the law. Yet Republicans recoiled at the announcement, perhaps because Hunter Biden was accused in right-wing publications of everything from corruption to human trafficking, yet was only charged with two misdemeanor tax counts of failure to pay income tax and one count of possessing a firearm while a user of and addicted to a controlled substance. You don’t have to be a lawyer to figure out that these are hardly the crimes of the century. Many critics have pointed out that Biden will almost certainly not receive prison time as a result of these charges, which is true. But while we don’t know what else he might have done — and as Weiss noted, the “investigation is ongoing” — if this is the extent of Biden’s wrongdoing, he has been treated much more harshly than the typical defendant.

Thepprasit Night Market - really good !
Are you sure this is the market referenced? The poster who pointed out the sattahip said it was open Thursdays. According to your google maps link this market is not open Thursdays. Lucky I didn't drive down there. A bit of searching found this one: https://www.google.com/maps/place/700+Rai+Market/@12.6979328,100.8892201,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x31028e9e251021fb:0x27ddf3124b1d52ae!8m2!3d12.6979328!4d100.8892201!16s%2Fg%2F11bcdhytx3?entry=ttu At least it's open Thursdays (and Saturdays)., Quit a bit farther away from Pattaya though.

To buy or not?
Install Linux on it. Problem solved if it was windows related. Linux requires significantly less computing resources to do the same thing. Or to just try it out get a live cd version of linux mint or similar, install it on a USB stick and boot from it to see how it works.

Watched the first episode last night. Had I known it was Marvel based I wouldn't have posted it. That said, it wasn't as cheesy as the latest marvel nonsense, more like a regular sci-fi action series. I will watch the next episode when it comes out.
