In fact, she said, it's beneficial to have an old address in your green book, so that any potential fines will arrive at the old addressWed, 10 Jun 2026 00:52:32 +0000That's a Honda CRF 300 dual sport? A friend of mind picked up one, I hope to get him ridding again in a few weeks. I'm racing in the 60+C for fun. It gives me a reason to stay in shape.Wed, 10 Jun 2026 00:52:23 +0000I know this is a home appliance topic, but it's a story of technological awakening. For nearly 30 years I have owned the same clothes dryer. It still works. It has never needed replacing. Other than occasionally cleaning the internal lint trap, it has demanded almost nothing from me. Because of that, I never really gave clothes dryers much thought. Once a machine can make wet clothes dry, I assumed the technology had pretty much reached peak development. Apparently not. Recently a friend showed me his dryer. It is one of those newer LG models with a dual inverter heat pump system and various other features and about 20 different drying modes that sound like they were borrowed from 2049. And it can also be controlled over WiFi by a smartphone app. LED lighting inside and large tinted glass window so you can watch your socks go for a tumble for a bit dryer ASMR. I was genuinely surprised. My old dryer can handle about 5 kg of laundry, which translates to roughly fifteen T-shirts before things start getting crowded. It also requires an exhaust hose that has to be fed out a window whenever the machine is running. Otherwise my place turns into a tropical rainforest complete with even more heat and humidity than usual. The new dryer has no exhaust hose at all. Instead it quietly extracts the moisture from the clothes, collects the water in a tank, and then you simply empty the tank later. That is the entire process. No hose. No window. That alone impressed me. Then I discovered that these newer dryers use dramatically less electricity than older models. They can run for much longer cycles, sometimes several hours, but still use less total electricity overall because they dry clothes at much lower temperatures. Which brings me to another surprise. Apparently I have been slowly destroying my clothes for decades. My current dryer gets hot enough to qualify as a minor geological event. I never thought much about it because worn out T-shirts simply got replaced whenever needed. Looking back, many of them probably died from heat exhaustion long before their natural lifespan was over. Since the newer machines use lower temperatures it means less shrinking, less fading, less fabric damage, and fewer towels that feel like they have been dried on the surface of mars. The internal drum is also much bigger. The model I looked at holds 10 kg of laundry, which is double the capacity of my current machine. I could dry an entire load in one go. Another unexpected benefit is that I could actually leave the house while it is running. No more wondering whether the exhaust hose has fallen out of the window and started pumping humidity directly back into the room. The whole experience was a reminder that technology quietly improves while you are busy not paying attention. For three decades I assumed development of clothes dryers were one of those appliances that had reached its final form sometime around the invention of electricity. Apparently not. Anyway, I realize that many people in Thailand do not use dryers and will find this topic doesn't apply to them. Some in Thailand even iron T-shirts after hang drying, which is a level of dedication I have never fully understood. So I am curious. Do you even use a clothes dryer, or do you prefer line drying? And if you are a committed line dryer, are you genuinely happy with those slightly crunchy T-shirts and sandpaper grade towels, or have you simply convinced yourself that this is normal life already?Wed, 10 Jun 2026 00:49:34 +0000Yes you can i sent them a fax! you get it monthly ring centerlink they are quite helpfulWed, 10 Jun 2026 00:48:11 +0000Best way to deter an aggressive oncoming dog is not to make eye contact, say no firmly and stand your ground, much like a charging Grizzly. They look at us as another animal, and the alpha can sense fear, and also smell adrenaline, although this doesn't mean they will attack. You are the alpha and must act like it. Looking into a dog's eyes is what other dogs that are aggressive do, so look to the side. Carrying a piece of bamboo , the lower part, can thwart an attack, by keeping you and the dog separate, and used if necessary. Most are bluffs, but when you're walking away, keep your eyes on them as some will attempt to bite from behind. Pepper spray and air horns also work.Wed, 10 Jun 2026 00:47:39 +0000but you use emojis frequently?Wed, 10 Jun 2026 00:43:45 +0000I remain to be convinced that multi culturalism is the way western democracies should be moving. Economic migrants pay large sums to get to Europe in the hope that the streets are paved with gold and that in a short time they will be substantialy better off and getting lots of sex to boot. When these dreams bump into reality , disappointment , frustration and anger follow. The longer Europe wrings its hands with moral anguish over taking a tough line , the worse things will get.Wed, 10 Jun 2026 00:43:02 +0000I will avoid early morning walks and take my walks in the evenings.

Non-diplomats have always been issued diplomatic passports if their travel is related to representing their country, or even other countries. Angelina Jolie and Trump-supporting Jean Claude Van Damme regularly travel on diplomatic passports. Van Damme, a Belgian national, has a Congolese diplomatic passport. Idris Elba has a diplomatic passport from Sierra Leone. Artan was named Africa’s best referee by CAF in 2025. FIFA supplied 52 refs from every continent for the World Cup. Now an African ref who is not Africa's best ref will have a shot. I hope he gets the USA matches, and acts accordingly. Hopefully the US goes out in the group matches, so we can be spared the moronic chanting (US football supporters don't know how to sing it seems). A dull 0-0 opener for them, 3-0 loss to the Socceroos, 2-1 loss to the Turks. Otherwise, this particular world cup I have very little interest in. The crowd at the England friendly in Texas looked a bit thin.Wed, 10 Jun 2026 00:36:24 +0000It's a conspiracy conspired by the conspiracy theorists.
