  1. You mean the arch technology Romans were doing 2000 years ago? I don't think so.
  2. None of the above. Those categories are unfortunately very cliche and as such they miss the mark.
  3. Anyone have a recommendation for a commercial product to clean tile/grout mold?
  4. "A game-changer in green economy?" Green? Right. 🙄 And the price? Privatize the profits; socialize the killer air pollution. Too bad commoners. “Outdated laws stifle our capacity to meet domestic demand, forcing us to import at a premium.” You mean, like laws protecting the environment? Those outdated laws. Those laws need to be enforce and more laws legislated. Anyway, the concept of using food to power ICE is rather ass-backwards.
  5. She has pain and swelling in the temporomandibular joint and pain when she opens her mouth too far. This surfaced after two rather lengthy dental appointments but not associated with any of the work she had done. Right now she is taking diclofenac for 5 to 7 days for the swelling. I suggested a night-guard (I use one myself) but she's not interested. "You can lead a horse to water......"
  6. My wife has developed a case of TMJ. Her dentist (at one of the major dental clinics in CM) has not been much help in that the only suggestion was not to open her mouth so wide when eating. That answer didn't inspire any confidence in me. @Sheryl I've looked online and can't find any doctors or clinics which specialize in TMJ in Chiang Mai outside of over-priced 'boutique clinics' which cater to medical tourism. Any first-hand advice from someone who has been treated would be welcome.
  7. Au Der auf German buffet - I'd be interested, but, no place to park that I can see.
  8. Be careful with this site as it has an expired SSL certificate.
  9. The problem with cranberry juice is that it's loaded with sugar as cranberries are very sour.
  10. There a serious risks involved in holding "paper gold." Those risks can be looked up online. Physical gold is a hedge against instability in the financial markets. It has it's own risks too. Then you start to see the allure of Bitcoin.
  11. 675 / 25 = $27. Today's spot silver is $24.26. That's a 11% markup. The premium is a rip-off by US standards (5.5x the selling premium in the West). If you are in the US or Canada you can buy from reputable precious metal dealers at a 0.8% and 2.0% markup on gold and silver bullion respectively (more or less but dealer are competitive).
  12. "New rule for next year," wife and I were told by our Immigration office after dancing for them. "Only accept new TM-7 on counter." This after submitting the fillable TM-7 I've been submitting for years. So what is the "new TM-7 on counter?" It's the old TM-7 with about three different purple stamps on the front and back. "Must fill out in pen." Well of course. "Dance farang man - dance."
  13. It the farang equivilant to a Thai guy's mia noi. Basically a rent a gik, but with no strings attached unless you don't have the sense to not get involved.
  14. She gave you a wonderful gift - a child. Be happy.
  15. Politics all during my life has been a rather ugly and sordid affair. That probably is part and parcel to do with the kind of creatures that are attracted to power. But I have to admit that the current day and age of politics is beyond sordid, and is simply grotesque in its nature - "a rough breast, its hour has come at last, slouching toward," DC, "to be born," to steal from Yeats (for those of you who know who Yeats is or the poem from whence comes that passage). What rough beast? Any of them. Politic has descended into slander. libel, and lawfare. Nothing but. And the proles cheer and applaud as they throw flowers at the feet of monsters whom they support, and the trash that now passes as "journalism." Ya'll get what you wish. The rest of us? We're pulled along by the vacuum created by the tyranny of the majority, and then the tyranny of the kleptocratic kakistocracies who seek only to benefit themselves. I take no sides. Wherever you dip your toe, you need to shower or bathe afterwards.
  16. It could be your test strips.
