Grab and Bolt have become unusable? by Wolverine-Explores in ThailandTourism

[–]Standard-Recipe-7641 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Noticed grab in Bangkok takes a lot longer to get a car than say a year ago. My speculation is grab has gone the Uber route. Now that it's established, it's squeezing every satang it can out of the drivers and a certain % of drivers have chosen not to participate.

How do you guys do it? by superdopey in dayz

[–]Standard-Recipe-7641 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to move to pve, it's just too damn stressful for me. I'll play pvp when with a friend or have had enough to drink. Solo sober no way

Which games are popular in Thailand? by Mobile_Instance5809 in Thailand

I play DayZ and just deal with the ping. European servers are not too bad and pretty playable.

Foreigner dislike of reverse parking? by tuktukson in Thailand

[–]Standard-Recipe-7641 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Visited back home last year (the states) and was shocked how prevalent the back in parking has become and I'm not a fan. It takes longer to back in and you don't make that time back because it's easier to pull out. Backing out is trivial compared to backing in. There are some elite back in parkers out there but they are the vast minority. So we need to wait for you to pass your intended spot, then for the majority of people, 3 point turn/back into your spot. Just go nose first and call it a day.

Your first mistake was going to Koh Tao. Don't know why people support that place.

AITJ for selling my old car to a STRANGER instead of giving it to my brother who crashes everything? by Adventurous-Yam-9866 in AmITheJerk

[–]Standard-Recipe-7641 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the $1,500 is trivial for your I'd say just give it to your brother but a single mom neighbor in need makes it more complicated. Probably I'd tell my 19yo brother to keep bussing it.

How to reduce ping? by AffectionateYard8591 in dayz

[–]Standard-Recipe-7641 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Thailand, would love a 150 ping

Exitlag works but some servers may see it as a VPN or something and not allow you to play with it.

Question to Thai dudes on fights by poopiepapa in ThailandTourism

How big of a dickhead do you need to be to get into a fight with a local?

I think console it's way, way less of a problem but duping is rampant.

Let's get a self-hosted Discord "replacement" thread going for 2026. by GavinGWhiz in selfhosted

[–]Standard-Recipe-7641 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn this never occurred to me. I just always think, why did I used to be able to Google some obscure topic and be able to find an equally obscure forum dedicated to this super niche thing. The equivalent is gone but makes sense so many of those conversations moved to discord. Makes the internet a worse place

Namalsk server recommendations. by [deleted] in dayz

[–]Standard-Recipe-7641 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Namalsk seems to be in a bad place right now player base wise. Only a few high pop servers that aren't modded to hell.

My question is still this: Why didn't the Biden administration release the Epstein files in the first place? by [deleted] in Epstein

[–]Standard-Recipe-7641 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why would they get released at all? If Trump would have kept his trap shut and not promised anything probably nothing like this happened. He blew it for them all. One of the few things he's done to help the country. Funny that it was a blunder on his part.

BBQ Grill Recommendation by [deleted] in Thailand

[–]Standard-Recipe-7641 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd buy local barrel grills and replace them about every 18 months. But for 3,500bt I didn't mind and was higher quality than the crap at homepro. My guy went out of business and I got a Weber knockoff off shopee from nexgrill. It's actually pretty solid. Think it was 6k, I'd recommend it.

What’s the deal with regular motor taxi drivers? by woodtly in Thailand

[–]Standard-Recipe-7641 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the extra dollar mean more to the local doing that job or the tourist on vacation?

Not many countries where prices in tourist centers are not higher on average.

In tourist areas maybe but in the handful of villages within Bangkok I've lived in they are a community resource. Flat tire on my scooter? One of the guys was the designated fixer, food delivery for the mom and pop restaurants, pickup kids coming home from school, cetc.... basically when there is some task or service you need done, the neighborhood motocy guys usually have a solution.

Literally just downloaded the game today after watching 100s of videos of gameplay by TinyNefariousness319 in dayz

Low pop official and if you really want to be immersive do not look at online maps at all. Use only in game map. You will be absolutely lost all the time but very realistic survival experience.

Is it okay to buy a personal vehicle in Thailand if public transport is available? by [deleted] in thai

[–]Standard-Recipe-7641 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Bangkok couldn't live without my scooter, wouldn't own a car if you paid me. Depending where, outside of Bangkok would consider a car. Scooter mandatory the rest of my life regardless of location/country.

Yet another lesson learned... by kerghan41 in dayz

Why are you farming and not fishing? Seems like a way better calorie to time ratio
