    Eating too much red meat comes with health risks and is not part of a healthy diet,” says Stephen Hu, MD, a cardiologist at Scripps Clinic Carmel Valley. “Red meat is high in cholesterol, saturated fats and sodium. It should be eaten in a limited fashion.”

    That's such a bunch of BS! Without meat, and particularly red meat there wouldn't be Homo Sapiens. We would never step down from the trees and continue to eat leaf and figs. Meat contains a lot more energy than veg, and eating meat allows us to do tinkering in the time between meals. Just look at the herbivores, that have to eat all the time. A lion can eat once a week.

     

    My cat eats only meat, mainly fish mind you and some chicken, and is very healthy.

    Those outfits are the 'meet n greet' outfits - the TG FA's change into more practical outfits shortly after take off and again back into the dresses shortly before landing.

    So they are in this very unpractical outfits during the two most critical phases of the flight....

    What happened to the miniskirts and high heels? I do miss good old times of flying.... 70-80's please come again....

    The heat there is a desert heat (hot oven) - nothing at all like humid Thailand heat.

    Outside humidity does not affect the temperature inside the car.

    And if you think it's all desert there, try 42 deg C and 90% RH. Quite common in the coastal regions around Aug-Sep. You'll get wet within 2 minutes just walking from your house to the car.

    Thailand is not Europe.   The heat transfer here is extreme to the extreme.  But beyond heat the dirt is a real issue - as well as looking like a gangster car.

    I spent quite a few years in Saudi Arabia. The heat there is much more extreme than here, reaching 45-50 deg C on some days during summer. Same thing, full blast on A/C, open widows for a minute, and good to go. Even on a black car.

  5. To quote from a song: "Black cars look better in shade..."

     

    Some years ago, a European car magazine (sorry, don't remember which one) tested white vs black cars for how hot they were staying outside in the sun. They discovered that the difference was negligible, and what made the biggest difference was the color of the upholstery. They also suggested that the insulation in modern cars played a big role in how hot it got inside.

     

    And, just like the quarter mile man suggested, the A/C is very good on modern cars.

    I have a black car, with black interior, and a black cat to go with it. If the car has been standing in the sun the whole day, open the A/C on full blast, open the windows for a minute to flush the hot air out and you're good to go. Applies to any color, so just chose the color you like.

    As aboce -- enalapril (available everywhere) is widrly used drug in same class/same mode of action as captopril.

     

     

    Well advice Sheryl, but IMO the OP should definitely seek a cardiologist advice on the drug and dosage. Self medicating heart drugs can be dangerous, as you know.

  8. Shorts, T-shirt and flip-flops are only for the beach. And even then, I wouldn't be caught dead in that attire after dark.

    There are loose cotton trousers available, and that's what I wear outside the house, short socks and trainers. Loose t-shirt or cotton shirt. Never owned sandals and never will. There are even jeans ( like Mc brand or Levi's) that are loose fitting and cool in this climate. However, Gen Z think that jeans have to be this stretchy stuff that clings to your legs.  Thais don't pay attention to their footgear, thinking that feet are the lowest part of the body (literally), so yes, I have seen men in business attire with lime Crocks :sick:
