One o' the lads having a bit o' fun:

Let's not forget all the man boobs.

You don't until you do. It's unquestionably best to upgrade for reasons given and more, given that it's so cheap and easy to do so.

Question arises, what and why? Hmm. To give a different spin on the OP's question: I think it's to slowly get you used to the idea of Windows as a Service (WaaS). Microsoft has been moving users to this Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) model for years now. . . . With all this in mind . . . I see clear signs that Windows 11 is the Trojan horse bringing WaaS to everyone — whether you want it or not. First, Microsoft sneaked a Microsoft subscription manager into the February 2022 Windows 11 update. . . . Windows 11 Settings menu > Accounts and you'll find a new section called "Your Microsoft account." . . . --Windows 11: The end of the old-school Windows desktop Uh huh.

Firefox. It seemed not to like Chrome for some reason, as I recall. I wouldn't mind running a VPN on the box if needed. Some free ones out there; our VPN experts can advise.

Did you try https://ustvgo.tv/? Works fine on my Android box, no VPN, but the channel sometimes needs a refresh.

No, just as M'soft isn't forcing anyone to upgrade XP or 7. But it will certainly try to scare you into Win 11. I'm not scared.????

I believe @RocketDog probably knows all about Linux. After looking at what Win 11 offers, I can't see I'd have any need to "upgrade." My lean & mean Win 10 does everything I'll need for the foreseeable future. I'll do just fine after it reaches end-of-life. For that matter, I could even use 7 w/ some good third-party utils. And another thing: Win 8.1 was pretty d_amn good. For the record. ???? And I could switch to Linux for most things these days. I'd do so if M'soft tries to force Win 11 on me--which it won't, of course. Reminds me of an old discussion wherein our techies were all jumping on the advanced Windows Vista bandwagon. I waited, correctly figuring it'd be another Windows Me. Skipped it entirely.???? I keep a Mint installation updated and use it esp. when traveling. Like it a lot; I'm not going to fool around w/ Arch, btw. However, I'll probably move to a rolling release model and avoid the version upgrades. They aren't that bad w/ Mint's upgrade facility but nonetheless time-consuming and sometimes offer a bit of drama. Thought about Manjaro, but I'm currently trying out OpenSUSE Tumbleweed in a VM, and it's looking mighty fine.

It appears many members aren't aware of all the gaming Linux supports nowadays. Quite a lot, actually, possibly even some faves. Being Linux, there may be some fiddling around.

Made an appt w/ him about a month ago and waited 2 weeks. Usual w/ Warin. He charges a bit less and makes it up on volume. Very busy, very efficient. Too good for mere teeth cleaning, anybody can do that; save him for real work. Kind of a man's man, Warin. Not a very friendly office, no moo baan atmosphere, no beauty contests, no hand holding, no BS, all business. I like that.

Warin's the man. Has a certificate in implantology from UCLA hanging on the wall.

Or pharmacy first for the small routine stuff. Probably where the OP should have gone. Find the most knowledgeable pharmacist in your neighborhood: choose the pharmacist, not the pharmacy. ???? No relief, lighten your wallet further at a clinic or hsp. Still waiting to hear the name of this 100-baht cream to be used ONLY for life-threatening conditions. Might be good always to have on hand--just in case, kind of like a fire extinguisher or fire hose box. Yeah, read the brochure w/ the instructions accompanying a medicine. Look on the 'net where you don't need a magnifying glass. Now that has been valuable new information to come outta this thread. Who knew? 'Course every med may likely have possible side effects and contraindications and testimonials attesting to disastrous experiences. You may scare yourself into not taking it, esp. if you can't read well and misunderstand what you read. Happens occasionally, no? More seriously, the forum is a great resource for getting recommendations for the best docs. Use it. Dr. Anna at BPH, for example, will explain ALL about any skin condition you'd like to show her. And biopsy it! Well, let's get out the popcorn. Should be a long thread as our members all enjoy relating their horror stories and get in their whinges about supposed bill padding and having to pay.

It's time to watch a Bruce Willis movie. Nothing like Pulp Fiction, but I've seen it too many times. Ended up watching Looper, being SF, and it was quite OK. Emily Blunt's always nice to look at. She didn't get naked or anything, so don't get too excited here.

Depends on the doc and the condition. Mothering, they don't do. Getting into a debate over the diagnosis over a trivial skin rash w/ some farang wouldn't be particularly productive. Instructions for taking medications are typically given by the pharmacist at receipt. You also have the enclosed instructions. Take it or leave it. Personally, I've no complaints, even at gov't hospitals. Don't like the diagnosis, want a 2nd opinion, do the same as in the West: go elsewhere. Prices for medicines are higher at private hsps than at pharmacies. Didn't you know? Insurance helps. What was the cream exactly, and what were the instructions? A 100 baht cream to be taken only for life-threatening conditions. Hmm. You may have a case here: the doc probably should have told you that your life was in danger. That would indeed have been of interest. Still, having to spend only 300 baht for the meds needed to save your life--quite a bargain, son.

This.

No firsthand knowledge, but my neighbor's daughter, 6, has been going there for several years and seems to be getting a good education. She's been progressing at a rapid pace, I can tell you. She's quite smart.

I took my utterly useless yellow book, that I used a couple of months ago at DLT in place of a COR from Immigration, to City Hall, with my passport, and was told I owe no tax and to ignore any future tax notices. ????

Search for "big" sizes on Lazada and Aliexpress. Follow the size charts and on Aliexpress read the reviews. You can also chat with the vendor and send your measurements and get a recommendation. So order one and if it's not the right size, order the next bigger or smaller from the same vendor, assuming acceptable quality. Use the other one as a cleaning rag or something, or give it away to one of the maids who'll find a use for it. I'm a believer in earning karma points. That's what I do, and it works. I know what to get next time and from whom. I mostly wear athletic shirts, slightly harder to fit well.

I don't see why you were setting up a new account. The procedure is utterly trivial, just copy over the old profile contents to the new profile folder. All your accounts, extensions, themes, and mail would be there and Thunderbird would be exactly the same as you had. Same as with somebody recently wanting to transfer his Firefox bookmarks & settings.

Maybe read ThaiPauly's fairly recent experience: Sometimes a redo every 5 years or so can be better than ongoing unhappiness, especially of a non-invasive procedure that's not so unpleasant anyway. Consider whether that may the case here. In general, revisions of previous procedures are quite common, and you can live with them. Thinking that everything must last forever--the infamous TVF Poster Mausoleum Principle--is fallacious.

Ever heard of subtitles? Might have made all the difference. It's widely recognized that The Wire is one of the best shows ever created, and it is. I've seen it at least three times over the years, and someday I'll watch it again.

Yes. Squatting is a red herring in the topic, merely offering members an ever welcome opportunity to jump in and call attention to their anuses and bowel movements. Anyone who does much walking or running knows to stretch the Achilles tendons--not so much to make things easier but to avoid tendonitis and other issues. For our wrinklies, a tight Achilles adds to their balance problem. This device is OK as far as it goes but not optimal for calf strengthening, also good for mobility and balance. Similarly for eccentric exercises for rehab of achilles tendinopathy, a common issue for runners. Earlier we had the staircase, showing the general idea of what’s better. A good cheap portable tool for stretching and strengthening is a yoga block or two. Slow one-legged calf raises on a block using full body weight can be quite effective. If you don't know about proper technique, find some vids on youtube to explain. Must avoid overdoing it.

I see that TQ has indeed revived its kitchen by offering a selection of Mexican food in partnership with 3Bz Burritoz, also on Grab. I haven’t tried 3Bz, but next time I’m in I’ll go ahead and order a taco. Been awhile. Menu’s up on the site: https://tahitianqueen.com/ The opening hours have changed to 2 PM – 12 AM (midnight for our time-impaired).

Switch to CopyQ, define a "Play Sound On Copy" command thus: powershell: (New-Object Media.SoundPlayer "C:\Users\copy.wav").PlaySync() Clipmate has this as a standard feature, but is payware. Good program. The Thornsoft site seems down, however. Ditto doesn't work reliably for me and I don't like the interface much. Supposedly if you define a shortcut for a buffer, you can select the option for sound to play.

See if Aliexpress has one. Free or cheap shipping. https://th.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=0&initiative_id=SB_20220313230805&SearchText=kindle+battery
