Pictures from around Pattaya
MrMango replied to forcebwithu's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
My first trip to Pattaya was 2001 or so, and Buffalo Bar was dying then! I made a couple of trips there, and it was a bunch of old farts who did not show much friendship to a newcomer. -

I live in Hawaii, and a lot of people have said that today.....

More relevant? I was responding to the usually gold plating on the chip that acts as a connector when you insert the card into the reader. Which is the point of the OP.
-
Yes of course, the plating is very thin - A few microns.
-
As I posted there are other noble metals other than gold, Rhodium is one.
-
Gold and a few other metals that do not react to O2 are almost universally used to plate electrical contacts to prevent that.
-
How can that be? Gold does not oxidant....

I too have a mild astigmatism, but not enough to effect my distance vision, and of course, the brain automatically recognizes which eye to use when you view near and far things. -

Over the years, my eyesight deteriorated and I went to contact lenses, then to mono contact lenses, where one eye is for distance and the other for reading. But then cataracts set in, so I had inter ocular transplants using the same mono lens prescription. I now have 20-20 eyesight for both near and far and have no need for any glasses, other than sunglasses. Its like being 20 years old again (just the eyes)... A year later, my TW did the same and now, neither of us uses any sort of corrective vision. -

Actually, maybe 15-16 years ago, Hilly asked me to bring him some fresh Brussels Sprouts from the US and I did. -

I did the math, if the average rental is 1 week, then that makes the number of cars at about 38,000. If we assume that the rental companys decrease their fleet by 50% then the excess number of cars would be 19,000. I just checked and the latest figures I could find from 2015 was there were 3,858,000 so an extra 19,000 is not going to impact the market that much.

Actually the US has several chapters in Bankruptcy - The main ones are chapter 7, chapter 11 and chapter 13. There is also a few others the address railroads, etc. but lets ignore them for the moment. Chapter 7 is where a debtor locks the doors and gives the keys to a judge, who oversees the liquidation of all of the unsecured assets. Chapter 11 lets a debtor continue to run the business under the courts protection from creditors seizing assets etc. Chapter 13 is for individual citizens, allowing them to submit to the court a repayment plan to orderly repay creditors.
