Living in Thailand is very cheap?
Don't know about the op's restaurant but in the UK if you eat at the cheap places you'll be surrounded by pensioners on state benefits and the cheap crowd. Nothing wrong with that. I'm cheap myself, but the great thing about Thailand is that for much less than 400bht you can eat in a place where a young attractive Thai might eat. -

Two Arrested for Luring Tribal Girls into Bangkok Sex Trade
Hey, we all have our own opinions I did say perhaps and I did say lured and underage. So you are tunnel visioned, one track mind. BTW, keep your hostile replies to your self.- 1

Prostate surgery user reviews .... turp? rezum? other ?
My urologist in Australia has the qualifications FRCS, FRACS. That's as high up the medical tree as one can get. He's also one of the nicest people I have ever met, Malaysian Chinese. Every time he performs a cystoscopy on me, "obstructive prostate" appears on the post-op report. I have been on finasteride or dutasteride for about 8 years, for BPH. I pee about 2-3 times a night. I asked him if having a TURP would be a preferred option. He said in his experience, 90% of TURP patients develop one or more complications. It did not matter what ablation procedure was used. His advice was to stick with the medication for as long as possible, and regard surgery as a last resort. This is a surgeon who makes over a quarter of a million dollars a year from surgery. My only annoying side effect of finasteride/dutasteride is a significant reduction in libido. -

Extending 60 day Visa Exempt and transfer to 90 day O - how many steps?
Okay thanks for confirming. That's pretty depressing and almost unworkable. I also read the posts in the link above. I also have the same OP's question about how it could be possible to get 3 months of rental receipts when one has only been in the country for less than 60 days, when applying for a 90 day O permit. The thing about all these documents being dated the same day is a bit weird too. Though I noticed in section 5 there were a couple of "or" this "or" that. Is the the third 'or' enough? And does it also need to be the same day as the immigration appointment (is that what you meant by 'bummer, CW doesn't have an SCB branch)? -

Warning Signs: The Looming Collapse of a Critical Ocean System
The tiny increments of temperature caused by CO2 are not what does the damage, but what they have an effect on. Think tipping points. Warming causes more ice in Greenland to melt, this weakens AMOC. Nobody knows exactly when it will fail, but estimates are as soon as 15 years, but maybe 300.One positive is that if AMOC fails, Greenland will get colder, and the rate at which ice melts declines. BUY what about other effects? European Agriculture declines. Maybe it will effect the West African monsoon, which could either make West Africa, wetter, or dryer. It might also accelerate the collapse of the Amazon rain forest, which could happen in 50 years. If it changes to Savanah, hard to change back. There are at least 14 tipping points which have been identified as possible due to the current warming, some have only a regional impact, others Global. The worst impacts could trigger mass extinctions (especially if masses of methane are released from frozen tundra and methane clathrates). Oh, and one little point about water vapour for ThaiBeachlover - it might be a significant greenhouse gas, but its presence is purely a temperature response - warmer air can hold more water vapour. So nothing you can do about it directly. -

Whistleblower Alleges Normalized Anti-Semitism at the BBC
The one and only astonishing thing is that people like you completely blank out decades of evil <deleted> perpetrated by Israel against Gaza and the Palastinians that eventually lead up to the attacks in October! Keep gaslighting yourself, but you're not fooling me!- 2
