I store stuff regularly with the lady at the back of the jomtien entertainment complex. She has a bike rental/storage place and has been there forever. My stuff was there for years during covid with no problems, and I just paid the outstanding fees when I returned. I'm sure she can work out something for you.

Watched John Wick 4 last night. Waste of time. Boring fight scenes that I had to fast forward through. And other than the ridiculous fighting there was little to no plot. What's to like?

Yes. It's really hard to believe that one of, if not the top electro-cardiologists in the world is available in Thailand.

Thanks for the reference to this Dr. I had the procedure done Thursday. Checked out of Bumrungrad Friday. Got an appointment to see him on a Wednesday, after discussing the situation we decided I was a good candidate for his procedure and could have done the surgery the next day. It took a few days to accumulate the required funds and get them to Thailand so we moved the operation to the following week. Bumrungrad insists on full payment pre-surgery. Atrial fibrillation now gone as far as I can tell. I'll be back in the gym Tuesday or Wednesday. All in, a bit over 1.3 million baht. Best money I've spent in a long time.

I've lost count. Last numbers I had was Russians 14, Brits 12. Anyone got the latest ranking?

Most of my assets are in investments. In north America, my attorney advised me to forgo the will & testament and just set up the beneficiary on the investment accounts. Apparently this overrides any will and would not be accessible to any unscrupulous siblings, ex-wives, etc. Not sure what the rules are here for this sort of thing.

And of course don't forget Saving Private Ryan. Same director if I recall. Wonderful.

I didn't know Honda waves had bumpers.

When you're done with Band of Brothers, there's a sort of sequel, almost as good: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0374463/

So stop wearing underwear...

Follow the money

Maybe if you spelt equalizer correctly...

The kodi addons do exactly what the google solution is. That's why I use an Android TV box. Much smarter than any smart tv, and portable if you change TVs.

Pretty much all the current videos are mkv's. Older ones are predominantly mp4's. I use kodi to get subtitles and play the video. The two addons that download the subtitles are addic7ed (tv only) and a4ksubtitled(tv and movies). I download videos to my NAS and this works good in that scenario. If you're streaming, I don't know. There should be something in the streaming service that will download them for you. I even wrote a script to delete the embedded subtitles so I could download the one i wanted.

Two new posters with exactly the same view. Hmmm. Smells fishy to me. I used to believe this until I went on the quest described earlier looking for something to help me sleep. There are definitely different characteristics in SOME of the strains that keep you awake and others that don't. There are other traits that also seem to follow like clarity of thought, etc. Granted, most are blends with little differentiations. My testing using one pipe full only,with no associated drinking, and no second or third pipe allowed me to see the whole high cycle. And since I was doing a different strain every day, it was easy to discern the differences. Also, subsequent use of the strains exhibited the same characteristics as the first time. Get some of the blue mystic and another with low keep awake in my spreadsheet above and tell me they're the same. You won't be able to. Oh, and BTW, this is how you do research. Not reading or watching some nonsense on TikTok, X, Facebook or some vendors site that is telling you whatever they think they need to to part you and your money.

Just because I was persuing a strong indica, doesn't mean I don't appreciate sativa. Just not for sleep, which is what I was after.

I didn't think I would need to clarify that, but, the column keepawake tells how much it kept me awake. A 10 would keep me awake(sativa) and a 0 would help sleep(indica). The indica/sativa numbers from the vendor are totally inaccurate, not just this vendor, all of them. No idea where they get them from, maybe the seeds come with numbers they use. As for strength, none of these are brick. The weakest maybe 10%. The blue mystic is at least 20%, but 100% sativa IMO.

I'm pretty sure they didn't switch it up and send something different. I tried to order 50gms of the lemon berry and they said out of stock. If they were going to send something different they would have. Since I filled the first few in the spreadsheet from memory I likely mixed up the two with black in the name.

Yes, I concur. The problem here is that the posted indica/sativa and THC content numbers are nonsense. A while back I was buying a gram of everything from ca08 and evaluating each at 1 pipe per day before bed. When I found a suitable one, I was going to buy a bunch and make kief out of it. Anyway, I had some stuff going on that required a bit of higher level thinking so I stopped smoking. No need to waste my study, so I'll provide what I have gathered here. It's quite nice having a clear head again so I'm not sure when/if I'll start smoking again. These evaluations are highly subjective. YMMV, so don't complain about my opinions.

I don't know what they're called but they are wonderful deep fried.

Of course the x250 is easy to repair as that is a major requirement of being military spec, to be field repairable. But this thread is about some consumer grade Asus laptop I'm sure is not quite so easy.

So you've never had a laptop apart then obviously. There's typically a number of ribbons that need to be disconnected and reconnected to update the ssd or ram.

Windows upgrades routinely need more ram. Every time you need to open the laptop up to upgrade your memory, ssd etc you risk loosening connections that may cause problems later. The x250 still has the original 500 GB m.2 ssd and the original 4GB ram. More than enough for current Linux offerings, so the laptop hasn't been opened.

Yes. Those consumer grade laptops don't last long, do they? I have a military spec Thinkpad X250 from 2014 still going strong. I did get rid of the windows crap and installed Linux though which I'm sure helped with the longevity.

I attempted to import a US vehicle to Canada 30 years ago. The restrictions at the time were so cumbersome I gave up. I do recall there's an age factor where vehicles older than XX years can be brought in with less or no restrictions. You are aware that the steering wheel is on the other side in Canada?
