What trees to plant in concrete ring? half day of sun.

At some point in time I'm going to need cataract surgery. One of the things holding me up is that I need to go off of Doxizosin for BHP which is an alpha-blocker two weeks prior to surgery as alpha-blockers can cause a condition called “intraoperative floppy iris syndrome” or IFIS. I control BHP with meds but I can't go off of Doxizosin for two weeks without something else to replace it that is not an alpha-blocker. So I need to try Taffrail. @Sheryl Tadalafil is an alternative medicine that can be used for BHP at low dosages (2.5mg to 5mg) but does not affect the eyes during cataract surgery. So I'm in the market for Tadalafil but not sure if it's OTC in Thailand.

The coming Nuclear War. -
Nana Plaza or any club on Soi Cowboy.

Pack it in a hard case. Don't have a hard case? Buy one. Look on Youtube. They have suggestions for packing guitars for international shipment.

In your Neo-Fascist country I don't think votes do matter.

Congress controls the pursestrings and they went on a spending orgy post-Covid. And after that they just decided to throw all fiscal responsibility to the wind and spend the earning of our kids, their kids, and the kids of future generations. But that's Ok. Hyper-inflation or a nuclear war will probably solve that pesky little problem. And both major parties as well as most Americans cheering on American Exceptionalism and Military Might will let that nuclear genie out of the bottle after a multi-front World War is provoked by the West with China, Russia, Iran, DPRK, and every nation which plans to join to BRICS. Come on. Admit it. 80% of the AN members from the West want their governments to "show China, Russia, and the rest just who the global boss is." However most of those 80% want someone else to go do the fighting and dying - like your kids and grandkids. It's always easy to be pro-war when you ain't got skin-in-the-game. 🐔 So 100% agree. Inflation would have happened regardless of who was in office. And it will continue regardless of who is in office.

You left out one very important option, which is actually a number of other options. Option 4: Anybody Else Other Than A Democrat or Republician Candidate In the "Someone else" category there is Robert Kennedy Jr., Cornel West, and Jill Stein, or my favorite - writing in Taylor Swift or Alfred E Neuman. And there may still be other candidates on the ballot representing other parties other than the D-R Duopoly So unfortunately your poll disenfranchises a significant number of people who don't vote for either of the candidates put forward by The Two Party DuopolyTM and yet plan to exercise their right to vote, and a blank ballot ain't my choice. But I forgive you as you are probably as brainwashed as the other 90% of the average clones out there. Maybe you can have the Mods go back and fix your poll as it's fatally flawed.

Just curious but you do understand what a Keto diet is? Mostly fat. And you lose fat. And there is a physiological reason for that fat loss when you're on a high fat diet. Called ketosis.

I don't get the point of it. Do a water fast for 3 days. You'll feel better.

I'd say there was a 110% chance that alcohol was involved.

More like this. The men were drunk, got angry at the kid because drunks get that way, and they smashed his guitar. Buy him a new one. I seriously doubt they "smashed it up because it came from a farang." Or have his teacher keep it and he can practice where he learns.

No house insurance in Thailand - how normal?
connda replied to GypsyT's topic in Insurance in Thailand
Again - go get quotes and an itemized list of what they will cover. Then throw away the list and invest your insurance premium in something that makes money. As BritManToo said - "It's a bet." And its a bet where the house always wins (no pun intended - and not your house). -
No house insurance in Thailand - how normal?
connda replied to GypsyT's topic in Insurance in Thailand
Have you attempted to buy home insurance here. It's a joke. The insurance company doesn't provide replacement valuation. I can cover any amount that they are willing to insurance out of my own pocket. So why bother throwing money into the maw of overpriced premiums that cover next to nothing. It's different here than it was in the US. -
Shocking slump: Thailand’s premium EV sales plunge 35%

Overpriced. Lack of infrastructure to charge. Unreliable electric grids. PITA to schedule trips and charging stops unless you are independently wealthy and can afford the most expensive cars. And you expected what? -
Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has resigned
connda replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I'm sure she'll land a highly lucrative job in the private sector making multiples of the salary she currently makes as a government employee. That will be her "reward" for almost getting "Hitler" assassinated while on her watch. And those Congressional perjuries changes that the Republicans are looking into? Come on, a Democrat administration DoJ isn't going to pursue perjury charges against a Democrat operative even if handed to them on a silver platter. It will make it slightly more difficult for her replacement to eliminate "Hitler" now tho', but not impossible. Having all those players simply ignore a massive hole in perimeter security on July 13th worked once. Heck - just invoke, "Sloped Roofs Are A Danger To USSS Agents." It worked once didn't it? But then there is now that pesky "Goebbels" and the past Editor of The Yale Law Journal to contend with. Drat! What to do, what to do? Well, when the Hillery/Michelle ticket is formed August 21st and goes into action post DNC convention, the Democrats won't have to worry about "Hitler" and "Goebbels" anymore as they'll lock in a Democrat Administration until 2050 for sure, for sure! Then they can work on imprisoning "Hitler" for the rest of his life with a new and improved Democrat DoJ formed for that express purpose. Heck, they can bring Ms. Cheatles back to run the DoJ and let Kamala be her Deputy Attorney General seeing that Ms. Harris doesn't mind playing second-fiddle to more important white folk. Ain't life grand? -
You have 16GB of Random Access Memory (RAM) which is extreme fast memory connected to the CPU via bus structures. "Storage" is where you actually store programs and store data (documents, pictures, audio, video) whether it's on an old spinning Hard Disk Drive (HDD) or a Solid-State Drive (SSD). Accessing data stored in disk "storage" (HDD/SDD) is significantly slower than access data stored in memory (RAM). The computer takes programs and data that is being used at the moment by programs, out of the HDD/SSD "Storage" and puts it into memory (RAM) where is can access those programs and data very quickly. There ya go: Computers 101 sorta stuff.

Israel is at War - General discussion (pt3)
connda replied to Social Media's topic in The War in Israel
Here's another reason the West will provoke a war with China: they are effective mediators in global conflicts and actually seek peaceful resolutions to conflicts that the West simply can't afford to have resolved. War equals Profits. Interfere with that equation and the US and its allies will declare war on you. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/palestinian-rivals-hamas-and-fatah-agree-to-form-government/ar-BB1qvObp -
