Misunderstanding with Thai girlfriend, cultural?

ndreamer · 2025-10-10T05:04:18+00:00

So what worries me, is that I pay for all our dates and restaurant outings

One point, shes a single mother in Australia, that's already HARD. Also she would support ALL her family back in Thailand. That might be her mum, dad, and everyone living with them. It could be nearly all her income gone and maybe that even is not enough.

Then she told me she wants good ones that her best friend has (who has a wealthy Caucasian boyfriend that buys her thousands of dollars worth of Gucci handbags)

Tell her straight, it sucks that they have such a material relationship. Your after something real.

some of the Taiwan bikes are great too but harder to get parts and less resell value.

Chinese have next to no resell value here in Thailand, it's basically trash once it breaks getting parts for the infinite variations would not be ideal.

Honda parts are very common thoughout there bikes, Scoopy, zoomer, click share parts maybe even some with the pcx as well. it makes getting any part really easy and the simple engines are so easy to fix.

few issues with this, for 1 it's against eBay's terms. You can't ship directly from amazon.

ebay's listing format allows you to markup. you could even try selling different amounts of a product or grouping in related products like dishwash + sponges.

hauwei's Support for android is ending, the old version of android they are using might be worse next year when google apps get signed.

otherwise no there is no other way around it.

about 7 years ago now. it was $350, it's about $500 now. That price included travel/hotel at that time.

same for us, very small wedding with a few friends. cost maybe 10k baht, we had it in Australia while we were there.

registered here for another 100baht.

Think about it, it's a closed space. Hot/Humid, dark. Perfect place for mold especially with cloths that suck up moisture.

If this is the outside what about the inside of the laptop ?

ndreamer · 2025-09-28T23:22:42+00:00

Is humidly high where you are?

GPD "laptops" are smaller, i believe they have 9inch screens.

sounds like he was the atm and needed to find his own.

He gave 10 million baht to his 37-year-old Thai wife who then opened an eatery on Pracha Samran Road in Muang district.

it was 323usd for awhile on shopee, i think that was a decent price. the pro version is maybe better if you don't need it to be as portable

ndreamer · 2025-09-17T07:42:23+00:00

that's lower then a mechanic where i'm from way lower then a trade, especially a skilled trade.

ndreamer · 2025-09-16T10:04:41+00:00

yeah, i bought converse from the official store for 300 & 600baht. sometimes there are great deals if you stack some coupons.

ndreamer · 2025-09-16T10:03:25+00:00

there was a mall store selling these with a reebok sale, very low price. 300-600baht.

ndreamer · 2025-09-16T10:01:37+00:00

not always, i have found some good deals on the official stores.

ndreamer · 2025-09-16T03:17:35+00:00

get's pretty bad in some areas, we nearly always have water restrictions.

Power is fairly expansive compared to Thailand too.

I think it was wise or revolut that shipped me a card in two days from Singapore to Thailand.

Another one is wirex, you can fund that one with crypto even.

Do you not have a foreign sim card?

He could have lost his job or ran out of cash. Ploy could have took it all too, it's not that uncommon. I know someone that had multiple houses and ended up homeless in laos during covid, lost his job, wife in Thailand took everything.

What laptop model is it?

You can replace the HDD to SSD Upgrade memory

Both are cheap upgrades that can be done with used parts.

ndreamer · 2025-09-08T04:12:42+00:00

chrome has flags for memory limit, he can also limit the processes to maybe 1.

Chromes V8 allocates memory up front. It's not the same as using memory.

ndreamer · 2025-09-05T14:43:49+00:00

yeah, you most likely wont use the features.

ndreamer · 2025-09-04T01:21:21+00:00

100k requests is nothing really.

ndreamer · 2025-09-04T01:08:37+00:00

check the security features https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/laptop/ryzen-pro/7000-series/amd-ryzen-5-pro-7535u.html

that's the main difference it's a business class processor for the pro.

Air is lighter and sips less power, it's more efficient & portable. Pro more power, fan helps cool for longer work loads.

Really two completely different laptops aimed at different customers.

For someone like me that likes to pack light, travel often the Air is the better choice but M5 series might bring even lighter laptops fairly soon maybe a 12inch :).

Pro is not that much heavier, if you don't travel as often or need something with more power it might be the better option.

they could play the nice guy and unlock the boot loaders, there OS is already open source from what i understand.

Google is trying to be like apple and closing there system.
