I think you are correct, or it could have been 12 D cells.

Most of those jammers will block GPS signals. There was a case years ago in Louisiana, U.S. of A. that blocked the GPS signal of a ship transiting in the Mississippi river in a fog. The pilot or ships captain attempted to bring the ship to a stop, but it ran into a bridge before it could stop. The device was located in an apartment building. It was determined that the jammer had an almost 1 kilometer radius! Another jammer in Philadelphia, PA, U.S. of A., was blocking GPS signals for aircraft that flew over the building it was located in, as the aircraft flew over the building. The United States considers jamming of GPS signals to be a National Security Issue of high priority and investigates the jamming cases.

I remember people carrying boombox's 3 foot long on their shoulder. You could hear them coming from 100 meters away!

Wire transfer from U.S. of A. bank to Thai bank showing that the money was from a foreign source. There was no start up cost for the restaurant here in the U.S. It was an established business more than 20 years old that my wife and her sister purchased. My wife has a business degree from a university in Thailand and knows what she is doing. Since she and her sister purchased the business changes were made and the gross receipts have increased over what they were before. As an example of one thing that has increased profits; the previous owner was only using a dial up access by telephone to process debit and credit card purchases. This process took 2 - 3 minutes to complete. At best that is (if my math is correct) 30 debit/credit card purchases an hour. I ordered an internet service provider installation which has VOIP, reducing the processing time to seconds. About half to 3/4 of sales are debit and credit card from day to day with the rest cash sales. The facility the business is in has enormous numbers of people going through it. 100,000 potential customers pass through the facility each week and it is open from 9 am to 6 pm daily. During the busy times, it is impossible to walk through the place without bumping into someone. If I recall correctly, the G.S. stands for General Schedule a white collar job for office workers, or in my case a Federal Agent for one of the 3 letter agencies. G.S. 13 pay grade is a senior position paying in the 6 figure range in U.S. dollars, usually requiring college education. I worked my way up from the lower grades to the G.S. 13 grade even though I only had a high school education. If you do well in your pay grade, then about every 2 years you are increased by 1 step or you can be promoted to a higher step or higher pay grade by merit. G.S. grades start at G.S. 1 and goes up to G.S. 14 or 15. After that the only way to be promoted to a higher level is to become a supervisor, Manager Grade, M.G.. I was promoted by merit, i.e. even though I did not have a college education, my work was on par to those that had bachelor and master's degrees from universities. I found the following on the internet: "The GS-13 pay grade is generally reserved for top-level positions such as supervisors, high-level technical specialists, and top professionals holding advanced degrees. Positions at GS-13 and above are known as Career Competitive." I guess I was considered to be a high level technical specialist. G.S. vs. W.G., wage grade which is pay scale for mechanics, carpenters and machinist type jobs, blue collar (I think) which has a lower pay scale. I don't know what you mean by Jolly Green Giants tax.

I have seen stuff about muslim extremist wanting that to happen.

She and her sister owns a take out restaurant in a historical building here in the U.S. of A.. Their gross income per year is more than I earned in the last 10 years of working for the U.S. of A. government!!! 11 of those years I was a G.S. 12 Step 6, the last year a G.S. 13 step 5. Pay scale was for the Philadelphia, PA area. Of the more than 100 other business's her place is the top seller! The business occupies a smaller footprint than the condo she bought!!

That right there is probably the reason I can never get home and have to sleep in the streets at night! 🤪

I don't watch any K Pop singing groups. Usually the music I listen to on youtube are the olden goldies from back in the 1960's & 70's. If any singing group or individual pop's up in the youtube suggestions, then I usually choose the, don't recommend that channel (I would do that with some kid stuff but my grand kids like to watch them on my tablet). I don't watch ticktok, don't have a subscription to Spotify, and block MTV on youtube as well. The only reason I recognize the name Blackpink is I saw it used in news headlines but was not interested in reading that news. Most of the time I do not listen to music as it does not sound as good as it used to. Mostly I listen to talk shows on radio while driving. Then, recently, I was given a pair of Phonak hearing aids! Much better than the Siemens that I had before. The Phonak hearing aids make an amazing difference in the sound of music (pun intended). But I don't plan on listening to Blackpink or any the other K Pop groups, Korean, Japanese style, or similar from any other country. I just don't care for that style of music. I also don't care to listen to rap, hip hop, or anything like that music as well. I have had the Phonak hearing aids for about 1 month and only today did I listen to music in the truck while driving. As I wrote, the sounds I could hear in the music today was amazing. I could hear instrumental notes that I have not heard in years. I have upper frequency hearing loss allegedly from daily listening to radio Morse signals 12 hours a day for nearly a year, decades ago.

Oh, just read that Blackpink is a group.

I have heard the name Blackpink, but have no idea who she is or what she does.

You haven't met my Thai wife. None of the descriptive's you wrote fits her, except that last one.

My Thai wife must not be Thai then. I won't say how much she has in the bank, even after she bought a 4.9 million baht condo on the river with cash (all her money). Yet, she gushes with thanks when I giver her 200 baht as a gift .

Yeah, same here. Wife loves it when I give her cash money. I tried all kinds of other gifts and each time she said, I don't like it, take it back. One day I gave her five dollars as a gift with a birthday card. She acted like I gave her a million dollars! Me, I'm cheap. A pack of bubble gum, a gift card from a coffee shop, and I am happy.

I live in a town on the eastern side of Pennsylvania, USA. Occasionally, I see the same thing. Only it happens any time of the year, not just after a Buddhist holiday.

NOt all Thai are like that. But it happened happened back in 1972 when I was stationed in Thailand for 7 months. Most likely like that before and after too.

I left the Radio Research base outside of Udon Thani on leave before Christmas of 1972 and got back to the base after New Years day 1973. Went with a lady to the sticks outside of Khan Khean (sp?) on a bus. Talked with the only resident that could speak English, besides the lady I went with, the pretty school teacher. Ate one bite of the spiciest som tam salad I had ever eaten! Found out the resident farmers thought a foreigner could not walk on a 5 inch diameter pole bridge set a few inches deep in a running stream. Came near being kidnapped by Thai/Lao communists. Took the bus back to Udon Thani. No pictures. The end.

He was in the red light district for an hour one day.

Only cost me 5 minutes. You must read very, very, very, slowly.

Yeah, makes me wonder why hamas thinks it will remedy anything.

Yet, he wants to give 100 million dollars to palastine. I wonder who will actually use the 100 million dollars?

I'm 6' 2" and I find it is a problem. It feels like I am trying to crawl in and out of a 3 foot by 2 foot rectangular hole, when I get in and out of the door. I don't recall bumping my head though. It must be a funny sight seeing me do that.

So if that was EMDR therapy that was tried on me, then it was at the beginning of its use. I had never met that doctor before and after about 3 (or 4) times that I had an appointment with him, I never saw him again. I had better therapy results with people that specialized in treating people with PTSD, mostly police officers, who I paid for out of pocket and felt comfortable with. The last one I saw died from cancer. That was about 9 years ago. I don't remember ever being comfortable with PTSD treatment at the Veterans Administration. Some of the other medical treatments were OK to excellent, just not the mental health department, in my opinion.
