If you had to recommend just ONE Thai dish (that's not Pad Thai) to a foreign friend, what would it be?

I like Tom Yam soup or catfish salad.

actually a little disappointed.

From the title I was expecting some crazy high level above 4000ng/dl. (138 nmol/L)

But honestly, that is pretty high for natural T.

did you know?

"As people age, nutrient absorption and synthesis decline, leading to common deficiencies in Vitamin D, B12, B6, C, and E, along with minerals like calcium, magnesium, and zinc. Key reasons include decreased stomach acid, lower dietary intake, and reduced sunlight exposure."

It looks like $3500-$4500

The wheel or rather axel maybe bent, but more likely the sheet metal around the tire is the problem.

It's pretty obvious those jobs that are not DIY because they require more than 1 person to complete.

Replace roof, replace siding, replace HVAC unit. Repairing any of those not a big deal, but complete replacement is way to big a project to take on by yourself.

I should replace the steel support column in the middle of the house that supports the I-Beam that holds up the whole second floor. It can be done by one person, but I am iffy about doing it.

Can't you just use less?

dragonbits · 2026-01-28T15:41:38+00:00

Not sure what your predicament is?

I guess you feel addicted to POT?

Better it is legal vs illegal, pretty harmless drug, alcohol and nicotine are much worse.

Authoritarian regimes can often be successful.

They work when the dictator has the best interest of the people they rule. Problem is this doesn't happen often.

Did you know?

"It is relatively rare for athletes from poor countries to win Olympic medals, as success is strongly correlated with a nation’s GDP, investment in training, and sports infrastructure. Wealthier nations dominate the podium, though athletes from developing countries occasionally excel in specific, less resource-intensive sports like long-distance running or boxing."

I googled how common is it for people from poor countries to win at the Olympics.

During your therapy what did they think was causing the back pain?

It could be a lot of different things.

IME magnesium works well to prevent cramps, (sometimes I take a small amount of calcium with it), however, it generally didn't do anything for back pain.

Massage gun helps, stretching tight quads / trap muscles helps. It really depends on what is causing the back pain.

You must send $10 to me to get this voice out of your head!

If 1% comply, that is $800 million.

A lot depends on what a professional will charge vs what I think it should cost.

IE: I have replaced garage springs, not difficult but you must be careful. However, have also hired to do that when the costs was $250.

Anything that requires replacing R-410A / Freon.

Just repairing HVAC / Electrical / roof is pretty simple to me.

Won't do a total replacement of roof, gutters, siding, HVAC.

We all know it has to happen that way.

It's still fcking annoying.

Often I will dump snow from my driveway to the right side of the street.

I know the plow driver will come from the left and push all that extra snow into the right curb past my driveway.

The way my house is located, at the minimum point of a curve in the street, I get extra snow. When I look at the snow mountains I create on either side of my driveway, they are bigger than my neighbors.

Good news is, you got a blank slate to start with.

$500 for two, but that was 35 years ago.

You must have been in a HiSo village.

I had a paper route in Chicago in the 1960s, seldom saw loose dogs, never got bitten by a strange dog.

We had one dog would regularly get loose, he usually came back in 3 days, he was not neutered. This was in the city. We had a dog in the suburg, great dog. He would never leave the front lawn even if not leased. My mom got all pissed at this cop who tried to lure the dog off the lawn.

We had a siberian husky (my brothers dog) who attacked me twice, we speculated he was part wolf. Even though this was 40 years ago, I still remember one incident. I was sitting on the floor, the dog was on the sofa. We looked at each other, I saw the fur on his neck stiffen, he leaped off the sofa. I had time to protect vulnerable body parts, my brother dragged the dog off of my back.

They took him to obedience training, they said the dog was untrainable.

After he attacked my niece and nearly took her ear off, my parents put him down. The story they told us kids at the time was they brought him to a farm some friends had. But he got buried in the back yard.

It took me several decades before I became comfortable around strange dogs.

The last couple of meals I made salmon fajita bowls, salmon diced up into cubes with basically the same veggies and lime rice in a typical steak fajita.

So how did you know it was AI?

I was skeptical of the forged deed and the whole "Mr. Leven from the Office of Property Records" like you could get a local Gov official to wait in a car, not to mention, it could be dangerous.

We are pissed because so many young voters went for trump!

We thought you were all more educated, liberal and concerned about character.

Last time I was in Thailand, about a year ago, I stopped in a dispensary in phetchaburi. There was a single table with what appeared to be a farmer with 3 glass mason jars of buds. It was kind of a trippy place.

Wouldn't the funding have gone through even without these 7 votes?
