    Checked Mr. Starbuck's account. Perhaps this is what the article meant by transphobic and misinformation: 

     

    People who want porn in school libraries are groomers.

    Pedophiles should face the death penalty in court.

    Men are born with a penis and Women are born with vaginas.

    Only narcissists demand their own pronouns

    Men can't menstruate or get pregnant

    Women's spaces should be left for women only, not people with penises

     

    In any case, if you don't like Twitter, you are more than welcome to start your own social media platform.

    Or just ignore it, as social media itself is toxic

    Good points in there for sure and I have the following to add..

    There is no perfect country but I get the impression reading through this thread that there are so many armchair critics mouthing off about how bad a state Australia is in. Consider this: 

    We are a democracy, yes with its bruises and failures but give me that over a dictatorship.


    We don’t rely on borrowing from every Tom Dick and Harry to pay off the debt to Ann Sue or Sally whom they have previously borrowed from.


    We are a resource country and earn our keep from exports of same. That’s lucky, not relying on dog eat dog trading to eek out a miserable survival.

     

    We have social security and many of the recipients are even living elsewhere in the world as beneficiaries.


    We are not persuaded to borrow up big to buy a new car prop up a local motor industry, far better to let those be made in tin pot dictatorships where the sheeple will make them “cheap as” with coolie labour terms akin to slavery.


    We are very welcoming of foreigners to join us in our walk to build a prosperous, equitable society. We don’t favour locals over “aliens”.


    We have a proper justice system using age old English based law that is not compliant to the government. There is separation of powers.


    Finally we have a revered Monarchy which has served us well for centuries. That last monarch worked hard to make our country better. The next commits to do the same and likely will and the same monarchy tells us if we don’t want them anymore for whatever reason, we are totally FREE to do so. 
     

    I get the feeling many of the writers in this thread moan about Oz in order to justify living somewhere which may not come close to the above ideals. Well good luck to you but I know side of my bread the butter is on.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Revered Monarchy, King Chuck? Pauline would agree I suppose.

    Maybe we just need to develop some tropical sun tolerant Indica strains !!

    I think there should be many Indicas that can handle the heat and sun, I think the Afghan Kush would be fine and there should be others. Now is the dry season and less hot, run them at 18/6, move them outside and you will do much better than with lights.

     

    There will be no shortage of strains, but they'll probably be different to what you grew back home. They should only need shade cloth for a few days, best is to move them out during overcast weather.

  4. From what I've seen, opium is like hash, solid. How does one dip into this?  A reliable source claimed some was soaked in hash oil, I don't know.

     

    If it is indeed an original old school strain, then there would be lots of takers for the seeds. Are they for sale? Any pics?

     

    I read a famous grower who said the Thai strains were difficult to cure, although personally I've never felt it's quite the art some claim. The original Thai stick had a bit of a compost smell, similar to brick weed. Apparently due not being dried properly before being bagged.

     

    The OP stated it may be the same strain as some brick weed, if so then it's only a matter of time before properly trimmed and dried quality bud is available at a good price from friends. Might not be good news for those who invested in lights and dispensaries, but I'll enjoy the reduced hype.

  5. You can also get good results from the sun, it's cheap and over time has proven reliable. For those who have to use them lights are fine, but good buds can be harvested outdoors here if you have the right strains. This would be the cheapest and easiest way to get started.

    Not even knowing/able to find what model of phone one has at hand?

    Seriously?

    I am out here.

    So where is it? Even the poster who told me it was basic gave me wrong directions, I suppose they only way is to keep playing, something I don't enjoy. My point is important things are hidden, while childish stuff keeps popping up.

    In this day and age they are a necessity, even if you can't see that. So would suggest having one of your staff giving you an hour of training and then you'll be good to go, and flay yourself for not doing it sooner.

    Do you know how to change the res on my phone? If not then maybe you also need training lol. I doubt my staff do, they are all on Apple. Of course phones are a necessity, that's why I have one, but an hours training would not help because they are constantly changing, similar to the poster who told me something was basic, but can't tell me how to do it.

     

    Such a basic feature shouldn't be this difficult, neither should transferring files (an another poster is mentioning) to a PC. The reason it has a 64mb is to appeal to children who like toys, I just wish they were more suited to work.

    Go into Settings…..System management…….About phone…. BOOM!

     

    No disrespect but that really is basic stuff; if you couldn’t find that on your own, changing resolutions could be a challenge.

    Thanks for your help, you may enjoy using smart phones, but they drive me crazy, I hate using them and hate they way so much business is done on them. Sure they are good for many things, but using them is like trying to build a house with a Swiss Army pocket knife.

     

    If I go into Settings, there is no system management, there is System but it doesn't take me to About Phone - there was no BOOM!.

     

    My car lists it's model in clear view, so does my DSLR - it's been very easy to change resolution on every DSLR I've had and on previous phones. This is an important and basic feature.

     

    I only use the phone when a PC isn't available, so I'm not great with them. I'm constantly being told by staff I can do the same on my phone, but it never works as well and is always slower. These are the reasons I'm not good with phones. In the case of my staff I think they are good with phones because they're addicted to them.

  9. I still can't solve it. There is a High Resolution option, but tapping on it just keeps the pics at 64mb. There's an option to change the scaling (1:1, 19:9 etc), but this isn't necessarily changing resolution and doesn't seem to alter file size.

     

    I'm not sure what model it is, similar to other basic things, it's hidden in their somewhere. My DSLR is 24mb res and changing it is simple and clear. Why have such a large camera and make changing it so difficult?

    You mentioned coups, floods, and tsunamis being responsible for Thailand's ills. (Kids dropping out of school, unemployment, poverty, homelessness...)

     

    I guess, we'll have to agree to disagree...

    Pls reread, I said the Thai economy was referred to as the Teflon Economy because problems would stick, the floods etc. were examples of such problems.

    Only by voodoo math. That is averaging over the total population. The very wealthy high income 5% with the low income 95%. And by the way with the minimum daily wage of about 350 - 400 baht not a very good point. 

    But it's the same for every country when it comes to that rating, same with GDP etc. The table I looked at put Thailand in the middle for wealth inequality.

    I see that you adopted 'the Thai way' of blaming everything and everyone, except oneself and the country's corrupt politicians. -  Thais who struggle like to blame 'spirits' or other people for not having enough money... Did the coups fall from the sky, don't other countries have floods, and, seriously, many live 'hand to mouth' because of one west-coast tsunami 18 years ago?? 

    Blaming who for what?

    'Teflon economy' because no development would stick? - Yes, (some) Thais live better than a hundred years ago. If they sell their kidneys, they can even afford a smartphone... But I wouldn't compare Thailand with itself a long time ago, but rather countries that did better thanks to less corrupt politicians, inequality of wealth, and better opportunities for many, not just a rich elite.

    No, it was because coups, floods and tsunamis did little to the economy. Thailand is now an upper middle income country, there are plenty of places more corrupt and more unequal (including the US). Pretty much everyone has a smartphone and two kidneys. Over a decade a go the govt increased the min wage by around 30%, never seen anything like that in a western country.

     

    There is so much work that the difficult, dirty and dangerous jobs can be left to migrants, who make up around 10% of the workforce.

    Well, which takes us back to 'mismanagement'... A ruling class that runs a country as a feudal society in the 20th and 21st centuries, mismananages the economy and robs its citizens of a better future.

    You mean the US? Jokes aside, Thailand was called the teflon economy for a long time. Lots of Thais I know feel their lives have improved over the last 20 years. Lots of ppl I know didn't go to high, but there kids have gone to uni. It does seem mismanaged, but then again, look at what the bankers were up to pre 08 crash.
