FWIW, the rule of thumb at least used to be 1 day per time zone.

Do you have to turn up at the embassy at any point, or is it all done remotely these days?

Really enjoying this TR, thanks for posting it. Looking forward to more.

Activated charcoal tablets, very good for GI issues. Surprising they haven't been discovered here in the west, like so many things. Loperamide works by slowing intestinal contractions to give the bowel time to absorb water. If you have a bug in your bowel that's causing problems, that can actually prolong things by delaying the expulsion of the bugs. Use advisedly. https://www.drugs.com/disease-interactions/loperamide,imodium.html

Bananas are rich in potassium which is easily lost during GI problems. They will also help bind your GIs because they're starchy. Also, they're bland and easily digested. Can't imagine coming home from a pharmacy with them. Unfortunately.

^Ditto, great place.

I call resistance training "the fountain of middle age".

Just catching up on this thread. You have more recent experience with this than I do of course, but the last I knew a farang could not own land, but he could own a house he builds on land owned by someone else. A quick web search confirms, but I won't represent whether the sources I found are legit or trustworthy. All sources did agree that farangs can buy land through a Thai LLC.

Absolutely agree. I have a pair of noise-canceling earbuds I use for this, and play MP3s from my phone. I find that it helps me concentrate while at the same time making the workout seem less arduous.

A short play, in 3 acts. Act I - I notice a tiny toad hopping around in my man-cave early this morning. Act II - The toad is invited to hang out while I get ready to leave for work. He is moved into the bottom half of a cut off water bottle. He sits there looking rather glum. Or, should I say, unhoppy. Act III - As I'm leaving, the toad is returned to nature. The End. Thanks for attending. Please don't forget to pick up a program on your way out. The concerge will validate your parking.

Mangosteen stirs in his dungeon...

I see you hired The Cryptkeeper to clean it. Good choice, especially if you want your guests to do their shitting in the pub down the street.

Yesterday we popped into our local after a workout, and I left the windows and sunroof cracked because the weather was quite warm, in the 80s F even at ~6 PM. Absolutely deluged with rain about an hour later. Fortunately, only her seat was wet.

I lived alone in my condo for a couple of years before Lady R. got here. After about 10 months of promising myself to do that and doing it maybe three times in that span, the toilet fungus answered to "Eric" and had its own email address. So I finally hired a maid to clean my condo. She came twice a month for the princely sum of $80 per visit. Place was hospital clean and smelled like an old spinster's parlor when I got home from work. This was especially nice when I went on vacation. Texted her a couple of days before I got home and returned to the aforementioned pristine condo.

Absolutely gorgeous place. Thanks for the pics.

Got it working below!

Or maybe tomorow, AND Friday, AND Saturday AND Sunday, depending on what you did, and your age. It's all worthwhile though.

Welp, I kinda figured when I saw this thread that it was gonna be a bunch of credulous people getting together to swap government/LMSM approved pharma propaganda while yanking each other's syringes and "vaccinating" each other up the sARSe. But, I thought I'd get on here, present a few alternative facts (scrupulously documented as always) and see what happened. Sadly, it was predictable. So, I will leave the rest of you to post "Well I never! Can you believe there are people who think the government shouldn't be allowed to fund dangerous research that spawns a pandemic, reject 300 years of scientific knowledge, rewrite the dictionary, then use that to lock people in their homes, require them to wear non-functional face diapers, forcibly inject them with untested potions, ignore and lie about the unprecedented number of 'vaccine' injuries being reported, band together with the LMSM and social media to censor anyone who deviates from the approved narrative, then question whether the reasons for all those civil liberties violations were valid?!" for a while. Not to worry though. Soon, the unpleasant ripple effect of unapproved facts that make people uncomfortable but there seems to be no way to refute will disappear, and the serene cocoon of pharma industry propaganda flowing from the LMSM onto this thread will soothe everybody on here back to sleep. Good night, sheep. Sleep well, and don't forget, the government will protect you. Like it always has. Out.

I assume it wasn't intentional. As I previously showed, including with links to actual emails between the various interested parties, this was the fallback position after it was shown that the "vaccines" didn't work. As I said. However, I also said that a lot of people who should know are questioning whether the technology existed to develop the "vaccines" that quickly. Yep, and right after everybody decided they'd had enough, and giant street protests against the mitigation measures flared up in countries around the world. "Science" sure works in mysterious ways sometimes. Well, I choose to believe that there are facts and good arguments on both sides of the question. I prefer to collect and study those, rather than "choosing to believe" something because someone else thinks I should do that. Call me picky. Never said anything to the contrary. If people want to inject themselves full of this vaccine, or red dye #3, or pee, or whatever else, as long as they're mentally competent to make that decision, I have no objection. Because there's a difference between personal choice and what was done during the "pandemic". As I said, if you decide to inject yourself with pee believing that it will cure the Bat Soup Flu, no problem. I'll even supply the pee. However, if the government forces you to inject pee, their reasons hold little to no water (so to speak), and you don't want to for whatever reason, I'm also behind you on that. Personally, I prefer to understand exactly why governments reacted the way they did, including whether or not we should have let them overstep their authority, whether granted by a Constitution, the Magna Carta, or any other form of social contract. And, I personally don't put anything into my body unless I have a pretty good idea that it's safe. Especially pee. To me, the act of not being a blindly-obedient sheeple waiting for the next ridiculous demand from the government is not , it's being a responsible citizen, and a responsible adult. I accept that there are people who don't care about being either of these, although I don't quite understand why they would prefer to silence those of us who are asking perfectly valid questions. Granted though, that's a discussion for a different thread. In this one, I'll stick to facts, exactly like I have all along.

Restaurant and food look great. Family members look like good, solid people. Nice one mate.

...oven.

The technology didn't exist to make them directly like we do now, although it's possible that someone cultured the viruses in a lab the old fashioned way I suppose. The reason that the gain of function research was going on with the Bat Soup Flu virus, that (purportedly) was released by the lab leak, was that they (purportedly) wanted to get a jump on ways to combat the next pandemic, and also to do research into designing vaccines for emerging new threats. This is common knowledge, so should be easy to find sources. What's not so commonly discussed (and certainly not in the LMSM) is that the BSF "vaccines" seemed to appear almost immediately after the discovery of the virus itself, rather than after the years-long effort it usually takes. Certainly, the advancements in gene sequencing make this process faster, but that should only have been the very beginning of the process. Yet we had "vaccines" going into arms by the end of 2020, barely a year after the virus itself was detected (purportedly). To some folks that seems rather too rapid for them not to have had some sort of head start. Such as if the lab leak theory was true. Just sayin' like...

Apparently, pineapple on pizza was an invention of a Greek guy living in Canada. He passed away recently, and will have to face judgment for what he has done. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-40230407

Well, this isn't the worst possibility by any stretch, and not all hernias require surgery. Good luck mate, and keep us informed.
