  1. Pretty much anywhere. Phuket is a sh*th*le.
  2. Little to no benefit. In the Thai climate, much better to put in an uninsulated radiant heat barrier. I did this in a place in the Philippines and it was actually cool in the attic and the top floor was significantly cooler than before installation. This is now the standard construction technique in the hot southern US states.
  3. So when do you think De Santos will start banning books with climate change caused by humans, and evolution as a fact?
  4. I don't think a few million would be able to cover that. You and Elon. I'm sure I know what the two of you would be doing...
  5. Lets hypothesize a little bit. Say you're retired, around 70 years old. Say you came into a sizable amount of money, maybe a few million US dollars. Would you still reside in Thailand or would you move elsewhere? If you'd move elsewhere, where and why that country/location?
  6. Intelligent voters will know it's the right wing republican lunatics that caused the default. That obviously rules out most republican voters.
  7. Are you talking about the Catholic Church?
  8. You expected it to be different than the previous 3 iterations? That's like watching Fast X and saying you didn't like it because of all the fast cars.
  9. Until he loses it all when crypto crashes. Remember https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Bankman-Fried
  10. Remember “The Tortoise and the Hare“? Investing is like that. The Hare, of course, will be gambling investing in things like crypto, NFTs, or even individual stocks. The Tortoise will have his investments in things like index mutual funds or ETFs. I'm proud to have been a Tortoise since I began investing in the mid-80s. Averaging over 10% a year for almost 40 years, while spending only an hour or two every year dealing with my investments. You do the math. I even stopped contributing when I retired in 2000. Sure there have been some down years, but in the long run those have been more than covered by the market rebounds in the subsequent years. Definitely can't say that with the Hare's investments.
  11. When I first started coming to Thailand around 2000 or 2001 it was wonderful. All the women were slim. None of them had fake breasts. It sure has gone downhill.
  12. You have bought into the propaganda haven't you. Hunter's laptop is right up there with all the other republican nonsense they spout when an election is upcoming. Remember: Benghazi: nothing burger Clinton's emails: nothing burger Fast and furious: nothing burger Twitter papers: nothing burger I'm sure I missed a bunch. What about the other way? Iran-Contra: guilty Nixon: resigned in disgrace Clinton impeachment: reelected in landslide The H. Biden saga will be the same. Just drink the kool-aid. I tire of the nonsense
  13. The branch I had been doing counter withdrawals at for years stopped when their electronics were “upgraded“ to a new system that couldn't accept debit cards. No amount of pushing could get it to work. I moved all my accounts to k-bank and now use wise to transfer money to those accounts. Basically costs the same as the counter withdrawal. And it takes only a few seconds for the money to appear.
  14. Prisons are big business in many locales. Just another way for the republicans to suck money out of the system.
  15. BKK bank stopped doing that months ago.
  16. If I could tell you the exact date, time and reason it was all to end, would you want to know?
  17. You have a doctor's prescription for all those, do you? Not from a reputable doctor I would bet.
  18. More faux news/DeSantis propaganda. There was little to no surge of people crossing or attempting to cross the border after title 42 expired.
  19. I concur, to a point. I blocked the OP long ago because of all the useless threads where the OP contributed more than half of the posts. I can't agree, though, that it is chatgpt generated. I blocked the OP long before chatgpt was a thing, and the posts were just as bad then.
  20. Just curious. Which one is the biggest (not size wise) liar? Santos or Trump?
  21. Live like you're going to die tomorrow. Plan like you're going to live forever. It's not so hard to do both at the same time.
  22. Get master-pdf-editor, version 4.3.89. Newer versions have a watermark on edited docs. May I suggest that after you've installed it you “pin“ it with apt or synaptic so it doesn't get flagged for upgrade. Please note this is for linux. Windows? Sorry. I don't do windows.
  23. How strange. My “most exciting thing“ also included your girlfriend and two gogo girls.
  24. https://torrentfreak.com/best-vpn-anonymous-no-logging/ I had nordvpn for about 5 years. While it's ok for things like changing your location for geolocated streaming it is lacking when torrenting a low seeded torrent due to lack of port forwarding which is needed to fully use the torrenting protocol. I went with torguard which is also torrentfreak's top choice. About $60 USD for 3 years. Had issues with it initially but their support cleared it up quite quickly via exchanging a few emails. They gave for free a fixed IP that normally costs more than the VPN service.
