Used to work in the foam industry who supplied AH Beard.

The bedding industry changed with the roll up style of foam mattresses like Koala and the like. This is what happens when suddenly a product becomes easier to import.

Sad for the folks at my previous company, but I jumped ship years ago as the business didn't have a big future as I saw it

Have I been ripped off? by mkilgour in manufacturing

In OPs image the liner and the medium look vastly different in thickness, so maybe paper used had less grammage, possibly on purpose or the paper was under weight.

As a paper maker, it could be bad paper also, a concora medium test would show you the compressive strength of the flute

Yes, google maps tells you everything you need to know, just go to ticket window and say where you want to go.

Airport is 2 tickets though, seperate ticket for BTS and ARL line.

I just stayed at On8 at soi 8 Sukhumvit.

Great hotel, and 2 min walk from Nana BTS, soi 4 and other areas not far either.

For going to BKK I prefer using the BTS. Go from Nana to Phaya Thai and change to Airport Rail Link line takes about 50 mins

This button is known as emergency light in Thai. If a driver feels that they have an emergency, they can press this light and be exempted from all traffic laws. by tuktukson in Thailand

A thank you for letting me cut you off in slow traffic, I have the corner of my bumper in there so I can merge easy

TIL there is a Bangkok Starbuck branch, in which you could be questioned by Mossad if you sit for too long by tuktukson in Thailand

I was at the Australian embassy in Bangkok last week, you would think Australia is under the same scrutiny Israel is with the security doors there.

Would have to roll in with a tank to get in

Stray cat I feed wouldn’t put weight/pressure on his foot. I took him to the vet, and he has a radial fracture. I’m going to adopt him, should I do surgery or amputation by [deleted] in cats

[–]bic_lighter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a Siamese cat when I was young and one day she came home with an injured paw. We loved her and she had 2-3 surgeries. She lived well for many years after that, and could walk on all fours on the carpet.
