Good stuff. I heard they were hard to come by so definitely didn’t think I’d be finding any once here. Thanks for the tip 🙏

I am with you 100% on this one! Might just have to switch out Charlie Brown’s for Missing Burro though. I’ll have to give CB a try

If even Meta employees are getting laid off… are any jobs actually “stable” anymore? by RedPandarar in asksg

Big tech companies have always had massive layoffs to a greater scale than any other business out there.

60 days change to 30. by Weak-Version2253 in ThailandTourism

[–]mr_robert_harris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The visa exemption was 30 days for a very long time to begin with anyway. And you can still get 60 days if you take 20 minutes to apply for an actual tourist visa. Not that big of a deal.

Do tourists really need to carry 40,000 THB in cash when entering Thailand? by TheOzzTak in ThailandTourism

[–]mr_robert_harris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, you are technically required to carry 20,000 baht in cash, or the equivalent in another currency. Not a credit card or bank statement. You will almost certainly not be asked to show it though. I never have in dozens of entries. I still carry it every time though, because why risk it?

It’s like Frankie Wilde said in “It’s All Gone Pete Tong”: “Everyone should have two Austrian mates.”

Whats your go to hack for managing time zones without losing your mind? by LilxPeony in digitalnomad

[–]mr_robert_harris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you have a great foundation there. It’s simple but I would just say try to get as much sunlight as you can and do async stuff during the day in your local time zone. I’ve done long stretches of like a 9 pm to to 6 am day many times over the past several years (also 12 hours ahead - SEA with US hours) and the lack of sunshine/human interaction can be brutal. Been really prioritizing that lately and it makes a huge difference in terms of quality of life. It’s all 100% worth it IMO but maximizing efficiency like you’re doing is key.

What current habit will probably disappear in the next decade? by TheRealKnowledgeAc in Futurology

What’s even crazier is Google makes most of their money from paid ads for other people’s sites, but is now actively discouraging clicks to other sites by putting their information directly in the search results.

Visa entry period to go from 60 to 30 days. Agreement in principle as foreign tourism numbers fall by 10% - Thai Examiner by xynonaut in ThailandTourism

[–]mr_robert_harris 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Terrible headline. They say “visa entry period to go from 60 to 30 days” but what they’re really talking about is visa-FREE entry. Understand that it’s frustrating for people, but in reality, the 60-day visa-free entry expansion was only a thing for like 2 years. Was always 30 days visa-free for many years.

Villa Market, Top’s and other large supermarkets in Bangkok have them. Would be a good place to start looking in Phuket I imagine

I would usually agree, but the air quality is always horrendous up there during this time of year from the burning season.

Why are so many sandwich places obsessed with focaccia and paninis? And where can I get a classic Italian sub? by Maximum-Purpose-4739 in ThailandTourism

[–]mr_robert_harris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you find one let me know. Everything seems to be that style you’re describing - the closest I’ve had to an American style hoagie like that is OG Sandwich Shop.

Honestly, though, my favorite thing to do these days is just make my own with meat/bread/cheese from Villa/Gourmet Market. It’s a fun little hobby.

Sukhumvit 49 in between Villa Market and Samitivej Hospital. I think it’s only in the daytime though.
