After a lot of deflection, he admitted in a previous thread that he doesn't to any significant degree, w/ implication of not dieting as well. So I guess it all hinges on--the water. ????

Wrong, as I told you. M'soft made no such official pronouncement. It never appeared on any M'soft webpage. That widespread misconception arose from a software developer speaking from his worm's eye view at a conference. NO responsibility for product planning, marketing, branding, or business development. M'soft didn't actually confirm what he said, and in fact refused to do so: "We aren’t speaking to future branding at this time . . . ." But media ran with it anyway, so the myth persisted to mislead the gullible, such as yourself. But M'soft wouldn't plan for negative publicity, so again your point makes no sense. Just juvenile silliness for the sake of argument. Yet another illogical conclusion in the series.

No more spoon feeding. Go Google for yourself.

Was factored into M'soft's marketing, of course. Nothing to do w/ your "flop" nonsense, as you've been told several times. But it was negative publicity for the broader market, so that would make no sense. How important are Windows Security Updates? Why don't you stop them? TPM has been a thing for a while and chip/board/BIOS mfgs have been putting it in. You'll need to Google for yourself to learn what it is, rather than expecting me to spoon feed you, then bicker. Usual misinformed ignorance. M'soft never said that. Wasting time . . . . ???? 'Cause it doesn't, at the time. But if you think it does, go ahead and install w/o doing anything further. We don't see people doing that, however. Why is that? ???? Some older machines do have TPM and therefore can run Win 11, w/ some config or even an addon. But since you contend that M'soft "realizes" it made an error, according to your analysis, you still haven't given a link to M'soft's program like Rufus, or Rufus itself, to install Windows officially on computers hopelessly out of spec.

Used to be worse noise as concerts were held across the soi from Diana Estates. Deafening. I wondered how anyone could live there. Rumors and anecdotes are the currency of this realm. Walking St. was supposed to be demolished years ago. Our ace ANF Urban Planning Bureau had offered numerous proposals for its replacement. But wait and see. Not unlikely in this case I suppose.

That's not a full blood test. Moreover, Lifecare will charge extra for tests not included in the packages if you select them, such as the all-important PSA, or T.

What high cholesterol diet? The lab will just give your numbers and "normal" ranges--by email. A summary note will appear in the Remarks at the end of each section. You may, however, on your own authority, extend the ranges to redefine any of your abnormal numbers as "normal." That's because of feeling good. Nothing will be said about statins or any other meds. You have no profile, low or high. That's how they roll.

This always means that the poster's logical thinking is working inversely.

Hmm. Former flasher, perhaps?

Exactly. It's easy to get stuck in traffic and bake in that thing. Moving ain't a lot of relief, either. Little to no air circulation.

I download audiobooks as multiple files. But anyway, you'd simply back half the distance from the point you started and the point you ended, listen to 10 sec of audio, then halve that distance and listen again. Should be able to pretty close. You can also just repeat part of what you'd heard, as you've probably forgotten the details or it bears hearing again. When there's a will, there's away. Switch to your Samsung tablet, same thing. Did you look on Aliexpress for a new battery? They've got a million. I got a new battery for an obscure el-cheapo throwaway laptop from there and it's been just fine.

So then the thing for we normal folk to do is to try to ensure we can avoid the need for the docs and meds as long as possible.

I didn't say easier. But easy enough. Estimate the track where you thought you fell asleep, listen to the beginning 10 sec or less, don't recognize, go back 5 tracks, listen, etc. You can also do that on your PC w/ the copy of the files there. So you can test 6 tracks in a minute, no big deal. Use the ol' binary search by halving the number of tracks remaining to consider. You don't have to use 20 min. You could use 15. If you're not asleep in 15, it shuts off and you're probably asleep in the next 5 min anyway. To me that's easier than wasting money on a new phone and fooling around with that, but if you're really just fixated on that idea, up to you.

Odd occasion, right. Bus station prices are fixed. Frequent occasions might lead to a different impression, but you say you know how to negotiate beforehand. Here, we're talking about the unwary. I don't think long-term stayers are prone to the scam, but a high percentage of them know the scam from their early days as tourists using the Wins. Now in recent years the bikes have been much more regulated than in the past (that a lot of long-term stayers may remember). Some stations actually have posted prices nowadays. That was never the case before. Expecting better behavior owing to the regulation may even lead to relaxing one's guard and then--being scammed. ???? So whether it actually happens "all the time now" is open to question, but you know how our forum is.

Definitely roids in this case. Long time bodybuilder, has the genes as well. Not relevant to anyone here, many of whom will be happy to make it to their early 80s. Jack Nicholson's made it to a demented 85. Good docs.

The unwary don't think to do that and assume the price quoted includes both. And the Win knows they will. But this is a case in which the Win encourages the misunderstanding. It is in fact a scam and not uncommon. The Win may also pretend he didn't understand or the tourist had agreed on price higher than he actually did. Tourist quoted B20, driver claims the tourist said 200. Intimidation may ensue, though it usually doesn't result in a knife drawn.

But if you fall asleep after 5 minutes, the audiobook plays for another 5. So set your book to turn off in 20 minutes. Only takes a few minutes to go back and find where you fell asleep. If you miss a file or so, it doesn't matter all that much. What you listen to while falling asleep won't be remembered long anyway. The important thing is the hearing of the voice and falling asleep. You pick a book that's not so interesting, nor read dramatically, that you're really going to get into it. Pay too much attention, and it'll stop you from going to sleep.

One of these built into the side of Pratamnak Hill would be perfect: Or if you go out, kind of like Charlton Heston in Omega Man, leave the Scoopy and take the War Bird. Don't hesitate.

In this heat, a trench coat or raincoat is extremely hot to wear, so not a minor inconvenience. If our members can't wear trousers to Immigration because they're too hot, how can they possibly bear that? What makes you think that the farangs aren't doing that already? One of our fave little fear-mongering rumors, actually. Surprised it hasn't made its appearance here now.

Yeah, but what do you know, after all. Oh--don't touch the Scotch either. Reminds me of our scaremongering over formaldehyde contaminating the beer. Been studied, nothing to worry about. Worry about how much alcohol you're consuming instead and the rest of your lifestyle. However, only a minority of the target PAH presented high toxicity, particularly carcinogenic potential. Because of the specific toasting process used, benzo[a]pyrene, the best-known, and one of the most dangerous, contaminants, was not significantly present in toasted barrel wood. In view of the PAH concentrations in wood and the low solubility of these compounds, their extraction in wine is apparently relatively slow and limited. Finally, comparing the overall PAH concentrations, and particularly those of the most toxic compounds, with estimated absorption from food or the environment, we found it was obvious that the contribution of toasted barrels to the total amount was extremely low and should not, therefore, be considered a major health concern. --https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18001029/

We can't do that. Next.

Some single malts are extremely smooth and much better still. What's wrong with bourbon, anyway?

The point is that you can keep your tablet out of the path of destruction while you listen through the bluetooth speaker placed nearby. The better speakers have pretty good sound.

The competent safety personnel doing the mandatory checking did a great job at Mountain B. A little extra checking might not be a bad idea, actually.
