M*A*S*H* the original movie

I only know one guy who got a W.P. for trading, but he was employed by a big bank in BKK. Is there not a place to look up what the requirements are for Digital Nomad? I doubt gambling online is one of those qualifications.

Real Wasabi (Wusubee) is like gold over here, the prices are incredulous. I think most have no idea they are just eating green horseradish when they ask for Wasabi in a restaurant.

Hide & Seek I just saw it this month, not bad, but not great.

Was it Thoreau who built his Utopia? & then they realized some fucker needed to do the work & they ended up fighting over the work & disbanded the whole thing -

Artificial Intelligence will soon subjugate what is left of real intelligence, because the sheeple will flock to it like bees to honey, & people just hate having to think for themselves. -

I was recently researching specifications for external blu-ray readers/ DVD writers & gOOgle's Artificial Intelligence is a liar. It claimed there were performance differences in two drives with very similar model numbers (off by one Letter). Well, it turns out it is just a Regional difference, they are the same, but sold in different parts of the world. That happens with home cinema blu-ray players too, there will be models in Europe that are identical, except for the hard-coded region & Voltage. but, to be fair to gOOgle, they base that bullshit off of input from real people & sometimes people talk shite My Sony UBP-X700 home cinema blu-ray player gets touted as being region free, but that is a big fat lie! -

At the lowest level, a book report is just reporting on what you thought you read. When it comes to solving complex Math problems, there are usually examples available online, so copying that is not solving the problem, it is just copying someone else's method of solving it. At the end, the student did not think their way out of it, other than using the internet to find an answer. In the real world, in a working environment, the internet is not always going to solve the problem. This is why Mechanical Engineers should know how to do the Math that the CAD programs are doing for them. -

Some teachers could spot plagiarism from a 111 Meters, but some may need to be trained. -

The students are obviously using it to cheat, the teachers will likely need to be trained to figure that out, or the Artificial Intelligence will have to be trained to not lets students take advantage like that. -

she did it repeatedly, so completely out of touch but it reminds me of a friend of mine who called Wi-Fi wiffee -
I remember making lahp with lime juice & a 'culinary expert' claimed it was supposed to be lemon juice, 555

My bottle is only 3%, if you leave it out overnight with the cap off, it would just be water in the morning. As I was writing that bit about H2O2 I was also thinking it is an oxidizer that can act almost like a catalyst for causing a fire, which would nearly seem like Spontaneous Combustion.
-
Peroxide is just H2O2, the brother to water. The worst it would do is bleach something if left on.

I am a D.I.Y. kind of guy, & would have done it myself then, if it had not been so cheap. Ditto with laundry

I paid 300 Baht for a haircut my first week in the LoS & the concierge where I was staying seemed gobsmacked when I told him.
-
I know you refuse to go there, but the ads I was commenting of from local Pattaya vendors are usually to show they have the best price in town. When it is more of a "We are the only stockist", then you can see the comments moaning about the price or suggestions that it is XXX Baht elsewhere.

My first time going to Malaysia the driver tried to extort us for more money, so we simply got out & did our own. On the other side we got a taxi to a hotel & Lo & Behold we booked a room right next to the same driver who tried to con us into giving him more money, & there was a room full of them, partying loudly, watching sports on TV ALL night long. It was a terrible trip altogether & it was 25 December. Some of us could probably write a novel about our visa run mishaps. I had some good ones to Chiang Rai/Burma & Laos. Ho-Chi-Minh city was nice & the best Non-Imm multiple entry I ever got. even better than my employers arranged in Singapore Oh wait, the food was good on that first trip to MY, dim-sum for breakfast, & tandoori chicken for lunch, just about every day.
-
Only one time did I get called back to the scene of the greasing, when I did it in Cambo & the officer who issued me the visa I wanted got called out by his boss & they contacted me to come get it corrected. So I did the Cambo run again, but it was a stroke of luck that my TGF & I had already arranged a weekend in Koh Chang.

If you drive your own personally owned vehicle, it would be about 44 minutes, but not on a heavy traffic time. On a motorbike, possibly faster. the Dark Side is a little easier to get to, as you can nearly avoid Suk. Road: If you are looking for a residence by word of mouth, go down to the Rom-Son restaurant, on the beach. Ask the staff there & other patrons, too. A friend of mine lived in a Rom-Son bungalow for years, they have little little bachelor pads right next to their parking area. Rom Son = Shade of the Pines https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057233239929 There is a ferry from H.H. to Patttaya.

Johnnie Walker Green or Chivas was a good agent, 😁 depending on tastes at the post.

the agent greases the palm, but perhaps you tried that? I had to many times.

If you are in the same pool of Jomtien/Pattaya expats & you want the sort of thing they are advertising, it is one & the same. We know you can eat Thai all the time, so just do that & then you will not be bothered with what Expat imports cost. Ironically, Vegemite is cheaper in the LoS than here on the East coast, unless settle for Marmite in the big tubs. probably because Vegemite is Australian
-
Banchang would be cheaper for renting, but then you are not right there at the action. If you like real beach living, that would be the place to go.

The highest I paid was 7K/month & three months up front, so 21K to move in & yes they kept the deposit. It was a serviced apartment in Rayong city near the temple, & a lot of the residents were Japanese. I got quite a deal by word of mouth for the one job I did in BKK, a room in a private home down the alley beside of a convenience store on Soi 22 Suk. Road. A condo room in Muang Tong Thani was not very expensive either, but that is in Nonthaburi.
