Trump wins by a landslide !
YES! A landslide, as I say... But, the real culpability for this debacle lies with the Democrats. Mostly, this is about transformation of the culture of the changing majority in the US. We have been watching this day approach for decades... Nothing new to see, really...is there? -

Judge: Trump Could Be Partially Responsible for Jan. 6 Riot Despite Lack of Direct Order
Well, at least it's down to being a riot and not an "armed insurrection" -

How many times have you left Thailand?
I leave once a year, for medical reasons. I will always come back, until the time I am no longer able to travel. Then, I'll stay here. -

Human Traffickers Cram Migrant Workers into Van: 2 Dead, 8 in Critical Condition
It happens all over the world the amount of migrants that die trying to reach a " better place" usually for financial reasons to give there families a better quality of life. I often think about the fact my family was relatively poor but I was born in the UK so I had virtually nothing to hold me back except myself life's lottery regarding your birthplace -

+1 for what transam said. Just go to Lazada and enter Heinz soup in the search bar and you will find plenty. Also Tops supermarket usually have them. Also stock Campbell's soups if you don't mind them. -

Do gamers in Thailand work around high ping?
I would like to play some reactive games that can be badly affected by high latency. Specifically at the moment, I'm trying Throne and Liberty. It has servers in Japan, Europe, US West and US East. With or without VPN, I'm seeing a ping of 200-300 in almost all of those regions (I was hoping Japan would be much better). The game does not have an in-game latency counter but through the Performance Monitor of windows I see the TCP connections of the game ranging often at 250+. Some people mention software like ExitLag, but others say that it doesn't do anything more than a VPN and any numbers it will give you on its interface will not be real or reflected by the Performance Monitor. There's no closer (distance wise) server than Japan to Thailand. How do gamers in Thailand work around such issues? Is there something I'm missing? -

EV Charging Stations (CS)
Edit: durn....I was still typing out my long winded post talking the same video JB posted above....passing in the night....didn't see he has posted the video just minutes below until after I posted my post. A pretty good 18 minute video on EV LFP NMC/NCA battery charging from several standpoints of EV usage and battery life. And it even talks that recent study talking how always keeping your LFP charged to a high level might be detrimental to its life span...and this guy points out that recent study acknowledges another recent study indicates keeping the EV LFP highly cared (except for extended storage/non use of months) does "not" affect the LFP battery lifespan. And for those listening-in don't confuse Lithium NMC/NCA EV batteries with Lithium LFP batteries....two different battery chemistries with two different best care & charging practices. For Lithium NMC/NCA type batteries EV manufacturers recommend only charging to 80% except when you need to take a long trip and want to start off with max range at 100% charge. Whereas Lithium LFP type batteries EV manufacturers recommend a weekly-to-monthly charge to 100% to recalibrate the charge percentage indicator and every 3 to 6 months letting the battery drop to 10% and recharging to 100% which accomplishes a full recalibration of the charge percentage indicator. -

I met Mr Independent
Many of the freelance girls see themselves as a type of guide. Almost like a tour guide. Very similar to the tuk tuk guys that want to drive you everywhere. Nobody from Thailand wants strong independent foreigners here. They want people that need to be shuttled around, catered to, and driven everywhere. It's so extreme that I get looks even doing some yardwork or watering the plants or regularly walking independently around the city. That's how bad it is. -

EV Charging Stations (CS)
This is the video, there are 4 or 5 recommendations, there is no shortcut but to watch the video. He explains the chemistry and he explains why he gives the recommendation. this is specific for LFP chemistry and does not apply to NMC.- 1
