  1. actually, that's only a probem in persons who are already cases for the psychiatry anyway.
  2. Firefox didn't change your search engine settings. Check for installed extensions that could have caused this.
  3. OP, how old is your laptop? you can check a number of things yourself: - is your disk C full? -> in a file explorer window, right click on the C drive and "properties". this will show how much space is still available on the drive - a fan might be broken - this would make the laptop overheat, sometimes the CPU can cope with throttling down massively, this would fit the "hanging while typing" symptom and since you are unlikely to be able to fix it yourself, showing the laptop to someone knowledgable will be the best course of action anyway. if the laptop is out of warranty, avoid the big shops and go to an independent tech.
  4. sooo... did they bother with thorough contact tracing in this case? or is omicron already multiplicating in Thailand?
  5. why choose to use a graph that will be misunderstood by most? this graph is relevant:
  6. because a nicely grilled German-style pork knuckle is absolutely delicious! I also have a food-related problem, fatty foods, sugar and alcohol can make my heart rate go up like crazy. doesn't happen if I take beta blockers before.
  7. here in Pattaya... yes and no. great weather for playing golf, but the pool's water is too cold for my taste. first world problems.
  8. where did you look it up ???? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_class_in_the_United_States even in the US, there seems to be a consensus around low-skill or low-education labor.
  9. "working class" actually has a definition, it's not for anyone to make up the meaning. maybe look it up.
  10. yeah. plumbers, locksmiths, appliance techs and car mechanics... most honest people ever.
  11. nope. "working class" consists of people who are employed in manual or industrial work. it's not directly related to money, but rare are people with money who choose to be employed in a manual labor job. one exception might be Forrest Gump at the end of the movie.
  12. I notice the poll is missing many options, such as upper class old money new money aristocracy
  13. ???? how on earth can a porn site have only 200.000 visitors in 2 years ??? they probably mean 200.000 visits a day
  14. I'd be interested to know about travel options from Pattaya to Koh Chang. I've already driven my car there, but the road is long and can be dangerous. I'd be interested in all types of passenger and vehicle transport types to Koh Chang, including: - passenger only, in a bus or minibus, I could then rent a vehicle locally - ferry, I'd take my car or my motorcycle Thanks!
  15. not sure about fiber, but user and password are printed on my 3BB contract for VDSL. just ask 3BB?
  16. or buy your own router/modem and configure it to use the connection. they aren't expensive. my 3BB-provided router has been sitting in its sealed box for 3 years.
  17. I do have ample empirical evidence of the contrary. Flashback: Ukraine, January 1999. Temperature around -12, I was feeling cold even inside the room. Andrei took out the garilka. Shto gram after shto gram, 2 bottles had been emptied, we ran out into the snow in our underwear after that. Felt like a beach in Phuket. Not that I would have been able to tell the difference.
  18. The BBC reads more or less neutral in what they report, but certainly aren't neutral in what they choose to report. Also, many stories are one-sided and often lack a properly researched counterargument when there is one.
  19. Quick answer: building and equipping hospitals, I mean proper buildings, not makeshift, and training new staff will probably take about the same time, at least for staff that aren't docs or nurses - but requires effort and budget for training. BUT ... it might not be enough to even just replace staff that quit. Germany counts 30% LESS medical care staff than at the beginning of the pandemic.
  20. if you can get to the login screen, then you can go into safe mode. the usual key to boot into windows safe mode is F8. press F8 when you start up your computer and windows should start right into safe mode
  21. one thing that got me scratching my head for some time was the same "wrong password" problem - the update changed my keyboard settings, so that the key mappings were different.
