Doing the above would reduce the 'threat' from Russia towards negligible..they can then redeploy dwindling military assets to protect against the invasion of the rubber dinghies..if they can't even do that then what chance do they think they have against Russia 🤣Sun, 07 Jun 2026 04:34:11 +0000Not just with the US dollar, also on other subjects like cloud dependency ties are slowly loosening.Sun, 07 Jun 2026 04:31:19 +0000CTs are not all the same. There are low dose CTs, high resolution CTs, contrast-enhanced CTs etc. So need to be very careful in comparing prices, especially those in a promotional package. Often the latter are a type of CT suited for screening of asymptomatic people, low dose and without contrast. @visalady since this is nto a routine screening but follow up investigation based on suspicious finding on Xray you should be guided by specialist recommendation. A routine screening package might not be suitable. 10K is not at all unusual cost for a government hospital CT with contrast.Sun, 07 Jun 2026 04:29:29 +0000Show some respect. Rocky Road has been to 60 provinces. How many have you and Jensen been to? I'm guessing less than 6 combined. Rocky Road probably has the Guinness World Record for provinces visited! And does anyone want to wager he will visit the remaining 16 provinces before Georgie pulls the plug on his retirement?Sun, 07 Jun 2026 04:29:26 +0000I've found the roasted peanuts sold at tops to be delicious, and I eat them most nights as a TV snack. NOT the packaged 'Tong Garden' brand (too brittle), but the clear plastic bags sold next to the bagged Thai herbs. Eaten as is, or I remove the brown skins and grind them up in the food processor. Delicious. Certainly better eating than the commercial brands loaded with all the extra stabilizing chemicals.Sun, 07 Jun 2026 04:29:03 +0000Raw fish is usually uncooked.Sun, 07 Jun 2026 04:27:30 +0000Not hard to make, not as crunchy as I'd like. Only brand I've found that GREAT is Raithip. Makro stocks very few because they go stale. Better to order from Shopee for freshness. Do you use the frozen blackcurrants at Makro? They had awesome frozen cherries only one year; wish I'd filled my freezer. My big obstacle to making preserves is that Mason jars here are so expensive!Sun, 07 Jun 2026 04:25:34 +0000I used to enjoy nibbling on Nobby nuts ! But peanut butter I love on crunchy toast in the morning or even I take them to work at night Plenty of butter on the toast then put on the peanut butter....yum !Sun, 07 Jun 2026 04:24:30 +0000Sun, 07 Jun 2026 04:23:40 +0000The US should pay for the damage to Iran that it caused by its unprovoked war of aggression against Iran. What this signal to the rest of the non-Western world is that it is dangerous to keep a US dollar reserve anywhere abroad. BRICS and Eurasian Economic Union nations are waking up to this fact which is why most of the world that is not aligned with the US as vassal-state are beginning the process of de-dollarizing.Sun, 07 Jun 2026 04:22:03 +0000Conda,Yes , sad to say it seems you have another thumbs down ! I agree with you your posts are far the intelligent on this forum and I believe others are jealous of your academic intelligence , thus the thumb down emoji .Sun, 07 Jun 2026 04:22:02 +0000LOL you are so High. My friends are farmers in Mendocino Ca. They sell the same weed to the medicinal labs that they sell on the open market.Now if you want to say evap weed may be different that would be an entirely different argument. Prescip weed isn't safer just 10 times more expensive.Sun, 07 Jun 2026 04:20:48 +0000No reason to avoid chicken. The main precaution after GB removal is to avoid consuming very large amounts of fat/oil at one time. Lacvk of a GB means that your digestion of fat relies upon bile secreted by the liver, which is a mote limited amount (no more stockpile of bile in the GB). People vary in how much fat they can tolerate in one go after GB removal but experience will quickly tell you.Sun, 07 Jun 2026 04:20:48 +0000Just don't butter them!Sun, 07 Jun 2026 04:20:15 +0000I did include a map with that post. Soi Cowboy clearly in PP area ... ... SpecSavers may help Not on, but does conx to Asok-Montri Rd (Details matter) Along with stating "Benjakitti Forest Park, right next door to PP area."Guess you missed that. ... That reading comprehension so many lack Yep ... Just the facts ma'am Does the BTS offer housing ? Thought OP was asking what area, not what BTS station is best to base himself at. (Reading Comprehension .... yet again) 🙄Sun, 07 Jun 2026 04:20:03 +0000You think too highly of yourself and are kinda the cowardly type I was talking about :)Sun, 07 Jun 2026 04:18:59 +0000Don't tell 'em Pike.Sun, 07 Jun 2026 04:18:57 +0000Very interesting! I had no idea about the raw fish causing liver cancer. It's obviously uncooked fish?Sun, 07 Jun 2026 04:18:25 +0000Ditto.Sun, 07 Jun 2026 04:18:04 +0000I have a diamond ring.Sun, 07 Jun 2026 04:18:03 +0000Most almonds worldwide are grown in California, though that may not be the case with climate change. On one epic coastal drive, I pulled into a farm road to sleep and, when I woke, the air was filled with the perfume of almond flowers! The Lazada store is interesting with strange, maybe useful, packaging. Sadly, can't avoid plastic. Do you know that the cashew butter comes from Thailand? I only see one organic brand, Rawganiq, based in Thailand. Cashews have far less oil content that peanuts. I've tried pistachio, pumpkin seed, sunflower seed, Brazil nut butters. None grab me the way p.b. does! Thanks for the pointer.Sun, 07 Jun 2026 04:17:30 +0000Just a general scan of the people asking for NO emojis appears to be the people who generally garner the most Thumbs Down responses to their posts. That's interesting. The majority seem to prefer having them. Personally, I like them. But then, I usually only get a couple of Thumbs down for my posts rather than 10-15. That might make a difference.Sun, 07 Jun 2026 04:17:29 +0000Just a "heads up" on a recently released upgrade of Nvidia drivers if you're using Linux Mint and have older graphic cards. https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=2794198#p2794198Sun, 07 Jun 2026 04:17:21 +0000Is the purse where you carry your peanut butter?Sun, 07 Jun 2026 04:16:24 +0000One of the biggest reasons Thailand has such a high liver cancer rate is eating raw fish in Som Tam. Especially in Isaan. A friend here's wife died from it, and ate it all the time. Aflatoxin and hepatitis B also high here. The peanuts, corn and chilies yes, another huge reason for that aflatoxin.Sun, 07 Jun 2026 04:15:29 +0000
