  1. There's also a date they will automatically mark it as received, usually a couple of months after the order date. You have 15 days to dispute the transaction after that date if you didn't receive it. If you snooze, you lose.
  2. AliExpress is better than lazada or shopee. Bigger selection, cheaper, more secure. The biggest plus is that the seller is not paid until you acknowledge that you have received the goods and they are as described on the site. You pay when you order, at least I do, AliExpress holds the money until you mark it as received or the delivery deadline has been reached. If it's later than the delivery deadline, even by a day, it's essentially free if it shows up late. If it isn't as described you also dispute and the seller doesn't get paid and you get the money back.
  3. Maybe you're asking the wrong question. The right one might be “what is it about my laptop that attracts ants?“. I have never had ants attack my laptop after spending most of the last 20 years in SE Asia. Only similar situation I had was on a UPS being used on a NAS.
  4. Gunman, 85(?) year old white man, shoots black youth twice through a glass door. 2 felony charges laid against the perpetrator. Perpetrator not arrested because police sent him home after brief questioning. Expect federal hate crime charges to come from the feds. https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/17/us/kansas-city-teen-shot-wrong-house/index.html
  5. Move along. Nothing to see here. Merely another “pump and dump“ scheme. The OP clearly has some skin in the game.
  6. I have a couple of the tox3 boxes. Great stuff. Have an hk4 box with similar specs that's garbage.
  7. I just hate those old falang's that ride their 125 clicks flat out all the time, weaving in and out of cars, passing on the left, jumping to the front of the line at lights, etc... Oh, wait a minute. That's me.
  8. I think the series is finished and the movie wraps things up.
  9. And which of those do you think implies that China should have dominance over Taiwan? I could generate similar examples for many countries.
  10. You don't want your android box to upgrade to the latest android. Google continually adds restrictions that will make much of what works on Android 11 won't work on android 12 or 13. The old adage applies where if it ain't broke don't fix it.
  11. Sorry. Being associated with another country for 3 or 4 years doesn't make you part of that country in perpetuity.
  12. I saw a documentary on bourbon production a few years back. To prepare the barrels(casks?) before putting the alcohol in they would take a blow torch and scorch the inside of the barrel to give the characteristic bourbon taste. Frankly, I don't think I need exposure to all those carcinogens created when scorching the wood.
  13. I won't eat any beef in Thailand. Lucky for me I'm back in Canada a couple of times a year and can get some wonderful Alberta Beef then, some of the best on the planet. Reminds me, need to get to Costco to get some for the weekend BBQ. Supposed to get to 18C.
  14. It's really pretty simple. Change TV's. Unplug your android box on the old TV and move it to the new one. Done. No configuration needed on new TV. Also if traveling much easier to carry android TV box than android TV. Further, most android TV's that are supposed to be smart really aren't very. Usually hobbled by the TV manufacturer.
  15. Sorry. They won't be alone. When the cat's away the mice will play.
  16. For all you people that only follow conspiracy theories, and you know who you are, there were a couple of guys in the 90's that wrote a book called “The Coming Global Superstorm“. The authors were quite famous for their conspiracy theories. Kind of hard to believe they got it right for once. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Coming_Global_Superstorm First, the Gulf Stream and North Atlantic drift would generate a cordon of warm water around the North Pole, which in turn holds in a frozen mass of Arctic air. Second, if the North Atlantic drift were to shut down, that barrier would fail, releasing a flood of frozen air into the Northern Hemisphere, causing a sudden and drastic temperature shift. The book discusses a possible cause of the failure of the Gulf Stream: the melting of the polar ice caps could drastically affect the ocean salinity of the North Atlantic drift by dumping a large quantity of freshwater into the world's ocean Bell and Strieber contend that such destabilizations have occurred before, and cite seemingly impossible engineering feats by ancient civilizations which must have been catastrophically destroyed since they do not appear in the historical record. Among their examples is the archaeological ruins of Nan Madol, which the book claims were built with exacting tolerances and extremely heavy basalt materials, necessitating a high degree of technical competency. Since no such society exists in the modern record, or even in legend, the society must have been destroyed by dramatic mean While other explanations beside a global meteorological event are possible, a correlating evidence set is presented in the woolly mammoth. Strieber and Bell assert that since mammoths have been found preserved with food still in their mouths and undigested in their stomachs, these animals must have been killed quickly, in otherwise normal conditions. They were preserved so well by quick freezing, which is taken as evidence of a rapid onset of a global blizzard or similar event. s.s.event.
  17. Go watch the 2004 film “the day after tomorrow“ for a Hollywood take on this issue.
  18. So Thailand is catching up go the West in elder neglect. Was bound to happen. Soon just lock them in a facility and sedate them to keep them under control.
  19. Is this kind of thing still news? After all, it does happen multiple times weekly.
  20. My nordvpn expires end of this month. I do not have auto renewal turned on. I receive an email every few days with an enticing low cost. So if you want offers you need to turn off auto renewal. That said, I will not be renewing nordvpn as their services are somewhat lacking when doing torrents, specifically no port forwarding. I don't use torrents much, but older, poorly populated torrents tend to be unattainable with nordvpn turned on but work fine with it off. This is due to the lack of port forwarding. There's a list of VPN providers here that show capabilities: https://torrentfreak.com/best-vpn-anonymous-no-logging/ I've begun narrowing down my list but have a few weeks so can't report my decision yet.
  21. Yeah. 1000/gm. It was quite a bit darker than the picture of what I purchased in Canada. Didn't shatter the same either but smoked very well. As I don't smoke but a toke a day before bed it lasted a long time.
  22. Quite nice. It seems the melting and smoke points are a bit lower than what I was smoking in Thailand(definitely unscientific). Smoother to smoke though. Much less residue left over after it's consumed too. They had two different versions of shatter in the shop. Both about 80%. I notice that this one was made from sativa. Is indica/sativa still a thing when it's been extracted/purified to this level? Tried a very small bit last night with good results. Since my dosage of kief (approx 40% THC) is around 30mg I'm going to do 15mg of this this evening. Should work very well.
