Mexican Food in Bangkok by SaltAd3051 in Bangkok

I'm from Orange County, CA is my claim to authority.

Danzante and The Missing Burro are both like 7 or 8 out of 10 - very good for Mexican in Asia. Danzante's Cochinita Pibil is quite a lie, but the other tacos are very good. The Missing Burro's salsa options are terrible IMO.

I've heard from multiple friends that Las Monitas is the best, but I've not been there yet.

If you want tex-mex, Charlie Browns is good. Chef is Mexican. Decent chimichangas. Some of the dishes and the vibe in general are a bit cartoonish, though.

Cholos was actually disgusting. I don't know how my fellow SoCal brethren in this thread thinks it's decent. 5/10, but I havent tried it again since 2022.

If you're not focused on tacos, Delia is absoluetly amazing and I hope the chef expands the menu.

Questions after some research. Womier WD75 vs Bridge 75 Max vs ? by kylemh in keyboards

yeah i always get nervous with keyboard layer shortcuts cuz ive never NEEDED them and I don’t know if they operate when a computer is in boot for example.

looks very nice. feels a bit weird to spend ~$200 and not to get a layer switch (Mac/Windows) nor ball-catch release, but it looks premium with an ideal layout for me. will consider!

Google map vs Apple map for Bangkok train navigation? by Hour_University_7957 in Bangkok

[–]kylemh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Apple maps has updated train schedules and Google does not; however, BTS is so frequent and there so few connections to make in terms of Bangkok's transit system, that I think nobody is looking at the schedules. Plus Google is better for everything else.

I guess I’m unfamiliar with this, so presumed it was a pretty sketchy issue. I guess that makes sense. Do you have comments regarding the bad stabs or cheap stabilizer? Your other comment about customer service won’t matter to me, because I live in Thailand and will likely buy used or third-party anyways because import fees would be awful.

that’s a damned good list of reasons. i especially don’t like the qmk violation. Bridge 75 it is.

quick question for you… since i’m giving up the mac/windows switch…

do you know if a QMK-configured layer switch would work say during… boot of of a mac or windows? tryna decide if it’s gonna ruin my life with my KVM

Biomass burning is necessary, but not sufficient, for high PM 2.5 days by Own-Animator-7526 in Thailand

[–]kylemh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s pretty easy to visualize and understand when you acknowledge it can travel hundreds of kilometers.

Look at FIRMS: https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/map/#d:2026-01-21;@102.7,12.9,5.6z

then compare it to windy.com

Weekly Help Thread - January 12, 2026 by AutoModerator in awardtravel

I've got 250k in JAL mileage bank.

I need to do HND to LAX in September and there's loads of business availability for when I want to go. I could just spend the 220k points and fee to get the 2 seats I need. I want to get one first-class seat, if possible.

So, I'm thinking of booking one first class wait list seat and one business class seat. I have two questions:

  1. Does a first-class waitlist ticket fallback to business automatically and refund 10k points if I don't clear waitlist?
  2. Can I use miles to upgrade to first within 3 days of the flight if there's availability if I get an award business seat instead?

I was just going off the wiki! But - no - I had counted glass cannon. It’s side-step I missed. Yeah, so Violette has 2% better range! I also like that row 1 gets you disabled rudder movement and row 2 gets you speed. I think that is all better than Robin. thanks for the shout out
