  1. You are aware the Lisa from "Black Pink" is from Buriram.
  2. Japan is open to travel. So why aren't tourists coming back? https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/news/japan-is-open-to-travel-so-why-aren-t-tourists-coming-back/ar-AA10arlR?ocid=&cvid=cdf3ec719b1746dbbd645e70951b1077
  3. THE RISKS OF LEGALIZED MARIJUANA https://www.primoprevention.com/marijuana/legalized-marijuana-dangers https://www.samhsa.gov/marijuana Affects youg users brains Brain health: Marijuana can cause permanent IQ loss of as much as 8 points when people start using it at a young age. These IQ points do not come back, even after quitting marijuana.
  4. If he wants NB repaired it's probably for the same reason I do. For avid runners NB is about the only running shoe maker that makes widths from AA to 5W for men and narrow to wide widths for women. I usually order from the US or have friends who are coming over bring me a few pairs. Knock offs may look the same but do not give the support/fit , comfort , performance nesessary for runners. If you do a lot of running you can really mess up your feet,ankles, legs and body with a bad pair of running shoes especially knock offs.
  5. When I wrote I never did or took those things you posted a sad emoji, why? They say you never miss what you never had. I am naturaly gregariuos and don't need artificial stimulants/chemicals to make me feel good. Cousins some of who were older cuter asked how come you get all the girls. I said you know I don't drink and by the time you guys have had 2--3 shots to get up the curage to ask them to dance I already have and you guys are sluring your speach and smell of alcohol so they say Pass. I have gone to parties, dances, concerts and have a great time but I don't need drugs to feel that way. Ever hear of Runner's High? "A runner's high is a brief, deeply relaxing state of euphoria. Euphoria is a sense of extreme joy or delight. In this case, it occurs after intense or lengthy exercise. Often, people who experience a runner's high also report feeling less anxiety and pain immediately after their run." I started running in Jr High an also trained in Martial arts so didn;t need chemicals or MJ to make me feel good or relax me. I don't look down on those that need help to relax ,reduce anxiatey or boost their spirits and I will sit in a bar with friends to socialise but I'm only drinking Coke or 7-Up. Gen Z Is Sober Curious: Why Many Young People Are Rethinking Their Relationship With Alcohol https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/wellness/gen-z-is-sober-curious-why-many-young-people-are-rethinking-their-relationship-with-alcohol/ar-AA101rBb?ocid=hponeservicefeed&cvid=a7f698e9f4fe49d5b789bf86477757c0
  6. Never drank alcohol, smoked cigarettes/weed or taken any drugs like cocaine/crack. As my cousins used to say "he's just high on life" .Always was an athlete and didn't want to take anything to affect my performance or mess up my body. I don't care what others do just posting the article showing data on adverse effects on growing brains/children. Adults not affected as much.

  9. Not a superficial discovery as Alzheimers, Diabetes and many other diseases are age related so if you could stop/reverse aging these diseases would not occur.
  10. UPDATE Thailand's first monkeypox patient found after fleeing to Cambodia https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/thailand-s-first-monkeypox-patient-found-after-fleeing-to-cambodia/ar-AAZTyur?cvid=99825da088764fb0ad03a95f6499c493
  11. Unfortunately MJ use by young adults shows adverse affect on their developing brains: Even a little marijuana may change teen brain, study finds https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/legal-pot/even-little-marijuana-may-change-teen-brain-study-finds-n958536 https://wRegular marijuana use bad for teens' brains, study findsww.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/08/140809141436.htm#:~:text=Summary%3A,decreased IQ%2C according to psychologists.
  12. I think many of motocy riders are protecting themselves from dust, bugs , polution and small particles kicked up from the road. That's main reason they wear the masks.
  13. They don't even know their own history where women did not even have to wear tops until 1941 when Thai Gov was overthrown by a Thai General who alighned with the Japanese and did,'t want thailand to come off as uncivilized. Look at old temples that even depict women topless or naked.
  14. I've exercised all my life except for a short period when I first came here, got fat/out of shape and suffered a heart attack. After recovering got back to working out , eating better and feel great but still have a long way to go to make it to mom and dad's age. Mom 92, dad 95, gran -ma (Dad's side ) 102.
  15. In the bank case it's not coruption per se. The bank has told the clerks to promote the insurance by offering it to any customers opening an account. In many cases expats will do it as it is easier than getting a Thai person to recommend you or running down to get a letter from your embassy to verify your passport or address and in case for USA citizen paying $50 to do that. I have had clerks offer me the insurance or extra services when renewing a debit card.
  16. Your links are from tests done between 2017----2020 Tests after Covid came out in 2020 may have had different results. For one we know that picking up infection from surfaces is slight. Infection thru the eyes althought theoretically possible has not been proven as the infection is basically respiratory in nature. Sitting in a restaurant for limited time without a mask may be slight risk depending how much virus (viral load ) you inhale. Sitting in a bar with out a mask talking, shouting ,laughing and spreading'inhaling virus for a longer time causes more viral load inhaled and more danger to infection.
  17. Then I guess they would have to take their chances with regular surgical masks if they find the N95's too uncomfortable. Have seen those on trains and other places doubling them up as well or taping the sides so they fit better.
  18. K95's are too hot to wear? You would only be wearing them on Air conditioned train, 7--11, Freezing cold Mall ,or air con taxi. And too expensive, really? 3 M the best brand are 5 for 100 baht and other no name brands are even cheaper. Below photo 20 for 79 baht.
  19. Do you read your own articles? It states that surgical masks (you called blue mask) are helpful "but" N95's are the best. "high-quality surgical masks or masks with even higher filtration efficiency and better fit – such as KF94s, KN95s and N95s – are the most effective at preventing COVID-19."
  20. The standard blue surgical masks are no where near as protective as N95-Kn95 respirators https://www.news-medical.net/news/20220110/Efficiency-of-surgical-masks-and-N95-respirators-in-lowering-SARS-CoV-2-transmission.aspx Surgical masks approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are intended for use in hazardous environments created by dangerous fluids, droplets, splashes, and sprays, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). However, respiratory protection by surgical masks against small airborne particles is very low. On the contrary, N95 masks are described by the NIOSH as a filtration system that retains at least 95% of various sized airborne particles ranging from aerosols to large droplets and reduces the vulnerability of the user. Additionally, N95 masks have extra layers of protection compared to surgical masks.
  21. Yes it does. Guess you were too lazy to read my link; Anthony Fauci said the public was initially told not to wear masks to stop COVID-19 because of shortages of PPE for doctors. He said the government's shift in advice was because of "changing circumstances" and new research. They did studies later from 2020 about the efficacy of different type masks
  22. He wrote that when they were trying to limit a run on N95 masks (respirators) so there would be enough for Medical Staff https://www.businessinsider.com/fauci-mask-advice-was-because-doctors-shortages-from-the-start-2020-6 How Wearing a Mask Can Help Protect You Even If No One Else Wears One https://time.com/6168672/how-wearing-mask-protects-you/
  23. That link you posted from Newsweek is a reprint from what the Dr said in Feb of 2020. "Dr. Anthony Fauci wrote in February 2020 that store-bought face masks would not be very effective at protecting against the COVID-19 pandemic" That was before anyone knew a lot about Covid. Also was at a time that Fauci said that he and CDC did not recomend masks as they knew that there would be a run on buying masks and they didn't have enough for medical personal.
