I prefer this title to the op: Man-Wielding Knife Apprehended in Pattaya Probably just yet another knife high on cannabis rampaging through the countryside.

RocketDog replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
Sorry. Saying you "know for a fact" is not proof. History books? Like the bible? 55555555 Thanks for the laff. End of. -

Can you prove him wrong? Didn't think so. Religion: people get it or they don't. More and more of the civilized world is getting it though as secularism rises. -
To die (with wealth) or not to die, that is the question.
RocketDog replied to sidjameson's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Especially your last one seems uncomfortably likely in the next few years. I go with probabilities too and have been stacking metals for decades. Just don't keep it all in one place. -

I read that too but don't take anything for granted. Hope for the best but plan for the worst. I don't depend on my SS at all and instead keep assets in several countries, banks vaults, etc. I definitely don't keep most of it in America or USD. -
Is life worth living without helping others?
RocketDog replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I guess that means you won't be sparing us your maudlin drivel then. Well, I figured it was worth a shot. -

Two excellent questions. Through most of my adult life I assumed that I would never collect any social security benefits at all. At 74 I have been drawing it for 7 years, and living here I seldom spend even half of it each month. On the other hand, if the government in America turns Orange this year I thinks all bets on continued SS payments are off. Same for Medicare and Democracy. As far as being able to stay here long term it's a daily crap shoot. The world being the same as we know it over the next 30 years? : Not a snowball's chance in hell of that. -

Can anyone recommend an over the counter sleeping pill?
RocketDog replied to Kenny202's topic in Health and Medicine
Congratulations! You are the first to offer a real drug name. I'm copying the pix to send to my pharmacists. I have a long air trip in April to USA and I need something. Thanks! -
So you are a sadist as well as a pretentious busybody. My stomach turns.

Yep. 2mg Lorezapam. It's great on long flights. Actually it's great for sleeping but it is without question addictive in the long term.

There are metric O-ring assortments sold on Lozada. I've used mine several times. Just try buying them locally. Apparently they are considered space shuttle parts too.

Of course I do. If you live in Thailand so do you. As I said, direct experience.

Almost everything readily available in Thailand is made in China. That's how I have formed my opinion of chinese product quality. I have no reason to believe that they make cars any better than their other junk. It's called direct experience.

I regret that I could only give you one trophy icon. You nailed it right on the head. I agree with all you said except the last sentence. I'll do my best to never own an EV and with the time I've got left I will probably succeed!

I don't know about their electric cars but I know for sure Chinese batteries suck out loud. As an electronic engineer starting with vacuum tubes I've been waiting all my career for the promised 'perfect battery technology '. I'm retired now and still waiting. FWIW, I want no part of electric cars at this point in their technology curve. I've worked with electronics and computers long enough to cure me of being an early adopter.

Actually cobras (which yours wasn't) are one of most shy snakes here. It is usually much faster and easier to just use a broom to sweep them outside. They don't really want to be there either. But if it makes you feel like a man......

Just do it. I had one done at San Paulo hospital in hua hin a few months ago. Procedure was quick and professional.About $600USD.
