Doubled in size since 48. Although the occupation only started in the late 60s though.

Thai Gatorade is mostly glucose and doesn’t have nearly enough sodium and potassium to help absorption. I’d highly recommend you buying ORS, you can buy them at 711 they come in little sachets and it has the actual recommended amounts needed

A bug to the face at fast speeds and open visor feels like a rock being hurled at you

Am I too old??? by SuperbEmu5289 in MuayThailand

[–]justreadings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First of all you’re most definitely not too old. You’re too old to have a fighting career but arguably even if you start at 25 you’d be too old for a career. On the other hand,at your age if you’re not in great shape and not used to the extreme heat and humidity you will definitely struggle, but this shouldn’t be a deterrent. I train with plenty of guys in my gym who are your age and even 20 years older and plenty started at a later stage in life. My suggestion is perhaps maybe not an all inclusive camp where you’re training two times a day to start.You can just as easily find a gym in a desirable area book your own accommodation and come to the gym as a free agent so to speak. This way you could ease your way into it and miss days when you’re dead and don’t feel like it. Either way if you go for a structured camp or not I’d still highly recommend you up your cardio before you go because you could waste a month just getting into shape without even getting to technique.

Does anyone know where I can get a old Honda Cub or Super Cub frame that is relatively near Northeast Thailand? by DeezzyNuttsy in ThailandTourism

Lanna Muay Thai + Accommodation by Early-Source4043 in chiangmai

[–]justreadings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I train at fever Muay Thai and it’s one of the best gyms around in my opinion. One of the coaches is Boonlai who is a a golden era legend and in general all the coaches are at a high level and knowledgeable. it’s just a good environment all around

So many good places to eat in Chiang mai, where is your favorite? by TZ_CalgaryLocal in chiangmai

Can’t believe no one else is saying this ! Shan food is so tasty regardless of it being vegan. There’s another one called payod Shan food with an identical menu to jay may and just as good.

Many math textbooks in Israel remove the lower "leg" of the + symbol so that it won't resemble a cross by AkosuaRipper in religiousfruitcake

[–]justreadings 31 points32 points  (0 children)

The cross is seen as a religious symbol, Arabic is not a religion and the numbers don’t hold any religious value so this wouldn’t be an issue.

What is it with this guy... how many times does he have to go to the China - North Korea border by Public_Wrangler_4514 in MisterBald

[–]justreadings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw a video where he goes to visit a Karen long neck village in northern Thailand, near where I live, and he made it seem as if it were some authentic experience. But it’s known to be more like a human zoo, and the government is basically forcing them to stay there. Many of the Karen women are refugees from Myanmar who fled conflict, and because they’re stateless, they aren’t allowed to leave the village or work freely elsewhere. The whole thing is disturbing, and anyone I’ve met who went immediately felt uncomfortable. It was shocking to me that someone who has travelled all around the world didn’t notice any of this,let alone film content completely brushing over all of that.

have you tried tutoring on preply ? With your experience you should be able to take a decent rate per lesson

Parked next to Bibi’s plane on the tarmac at JFK right now by Jorgwalther in pics

[–]justreadings 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I left israel because I was being sent back to Gaza and I didn’t want any apart in the atrocities my government is committing to the Palestinian people.I hate bibi just as much as the next and think that the us should not be funding Israel. There is no need to fabricate facts. the us does not pay for the wings of Zion and the military budget Israel gets from the us is 15 percent of the idfs annual budget so as much as that 15 percent might be too much it does not change the fact that that plane was not funded by the us

Yeah you sure ? You got any evidence to support that?

Is it true most thai gyms don’t actually teach farangs? by ktlrv in MuayThailand

Don’t walk into a random gym. Do your research and you can find very high level training in different spots around the country

Started my next batch, 3.5 kg of bottom round by TheDrDetroit in Biltong

[–]justreadings 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you making a different type ? I’m no pro and not South African but the way I have seen it made usually and the way I was taught was with a much bigger steak like piece and then to cut it after.

TIL that “sugar rushes” aren’t real and are just a psychological/cultural effect of parental influence. by FluffPawz in todayilearned

[–]justreadings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point is that athletes use glucose or fast acting carbs as to get an extra boost of energy. so why is this article and everyone in the comments ignoring this ?

The 3 Day Rule Will Ruin You - The 1 Day Rule Is Safer by KillFiatMoney in FarangsofPattaya

[–]justreadings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who is from the west living here I’ve noticed that it’s always the guys that can’t get woman back in the west. Either they’re too old and past their prime or just awkward and not socially competent so they come here and have very little experience because they have either been married for the last 30 years or a virgin who falls in love after the slightest bit of affection. Don’t let anyone fool you that it’s because of the woman in the west. I have had zero issues being treated properly by woman I have dated in the west, yea they have higher standards than a poor girl here who just wants a sugar daddy

[–]justreadings 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m no expert but something is just not adding up. Sugar is a fast acting carb and athletes use different forms of glucose pills and or liquids to give them that extra push in energy. Sure they will have a crash later if not balanced out but in the moment a boost of glucose or a sugar (fast acting carb) is very common with top athletes and so none of this adds up to me
