for sure. That's a rather silly thing for me to assume was true but those images were implanted in my mind at a very young and impressionable age. I presumed all of Vietnam was jungle but I guess it would

yeah. I really don't like this aspect of where I have chosen to live. Most of the year is just being assaulted by the heat almost around the clock. There are so many good things though that it balances

Yeah. I cant think of any good reason why a giant car battery would be different from any other battery like in phones and watches and anything else. I recall seeing how much they cost too and it's like

I've never even considered if they would function poorly in cold weather. I've never looked into whether or not EVs are affected badly by ice and snow and what not.

I had heard they are banned or priced out because of tariffs. I suppose that is a situation that will sort itself out though. nobody needs to feel bad for BYD though, they sell a ton of these things globally.

I lived quite remotely at one point when I lived in Thailand. I just had to have a really good plan every time I left the house for something like going shopping because it was a huge issue if I forgot

Nadi has a fantastic caregiver who provides me with almost daily updates on her well-being. It would be a nervous situation for me if it wasn't like that.

Yeah, it's pretty incredible that it is like this. I only get a few weeks here then it will be back to noise-ville.

Oh i hear you on the never-ending chips and salsa. I just can't stop

I do like acquariums but I find it so difficult to keep the fish alive. When I was in college I had massive aquariums in my house and it took a lot of time and very expensive equipment to keep that water

I know that road dude. ONe night I was driving back to Phuket Town from Patong and the people were driving so insane-like over that mountain pass that an oncoming motorbike managed to bash side view mirrors

This reminded me of a story parking at a large airport in the United States. Parking at airports is absurdly expensive but I didn't care because the company I worked for was paying for it. I didn't pay

I'm a big fan of hummus but if you throw it all over breaddy bits as people tend to, it's adding a ton of bad stuff to you as well. I suppose it depends on what sort of diet a person is on.

I don't remember what the justification in other countries was for prohibiting people from drinking fresh milk. I think it is probably dumb though as most laws tend to be.

They were playing something similar to that. I doubt they call it polka here though. I'd have to ask. It wasn't super loud though, which was nice. This seemed to be a popular place as people were popping

Wow, this sport has definitely evolved. It's been several decades since I played but it was a big part of my life before I moved abroad. I don't think I ever tracked my score on a hole by hole basis, just

well with a 13 hour layover that certainly wasn't an issue. I was trying so hard to be the last person that one of the entrances to customs was closed before I got there. Not like a rope line indicating

oh and about the post 9/11 stuff absolutely. Homeland didn't really exist before then and once the new recruits were given jobs and authority I believe they were unchecked for a very long time. I really

I think that I had set the bar so low that I was going to be pleased with simply not being threatened constantly. I was extremely impressed but also the fact that I didn't really need to hurry at all might

cool. thanks for that
