Aaah … that explains the Patpong Dept Store displays, one for Songkran, the other for everyday drab that’s useful for concealing drooling as well as accidental mussel salad drippings.

A pleasant walk up from Mandarin Oriental, this meal was terrific.

The winter weather is so frigid that the main source of the Feenstra frostration has been an authoritarian Russia-imposed freezing of their bank accounts containing their life’s work farm sale proceeds. It is likely that they would now, though grudgingly, trade off an acceptance of the occasional rainbow flag flapping in their rural southern Saskatchewan community for access to a permafrost-mitigating generator grinding away at their district’s Wells Fargo outpost.

Can’t the expat forum fact check or be logical? The article indicates that a crackdown on LGTBQ+ rights has “complicated” the plan. Why would that defenestrate the Feenstras since the ideologies don’t mismatch? What actually transpired in the toilet misunderstandings?

Bye-bye hiatus. Hello ‘hi, ate ass’. Go git it!

I hope you feel more than mostly better soon. I don’t bother with SIM cards and pretty much just tap into lodgings’ wifi weeks at a time. Very rarely incur a carrier roaming charge and only then out of necessity; my plan costs $20 daily even if I just nullify airplane mode for an instant. It’s more economical to catch a meal and tap into venue internet. However, I think 117 does have wifi and you can ask staff to enter the password and it should load each time you return but only in certain areas of the building. Gregora Arte across the street will release their password if you dine there. Parenthetically, the food is good. Similarly, if you loiter a bit in front of their patio without entering you can catch the signal. But it’s consistently my haunting grounds a few blocks from accommodations so YMMV on the plugged-in needs spectrum.

Is it just me or does this not come across as plum sad at such a young age, notwithstanding personal autonomy and the realization that I just myself inserted a values judgement. Assuming it’s cosmetic, speaks volumes about the unfortunate trend of body dysmorphia and the difficulty of influencing those subject to it. Looking in the mirror at any age and feeling humiliation or anxiety about life’s natural course is the story here. I hope he doesn’t subsequently bear a greater burden of the inevitable debt we all pay the piper.

Canada just shit the sleigh bed on one component of HIV testing options, with a stated decision to cut funding for a federal long-standing sophisticated self-admin rapid test program. Seems counterintuitive given the global-by-2030 containment goals. I’d been able to walk in to a uni campus down the road for a kit, or have the same thing mailed to a remote region Canada Post depot where summer cabin is located. I can certainly afford to purchase the one licensed product from the manufacturer but many folks, often marginalized or skittish about visibility, benefit from the no-cost and the staffed infrastructure access that includes a thorough educational component and stated contingencies for confirmatory necessity hinging on test results.

Make sure you thank him for having attentively noticed your consumption rate, sending floor staff over to you making sure you didn’t need that extra bebida or a microwaved frozen pizza. Allegedly. Then encourage him to bring in talent that inspires one to cover multiple sequential cabin lets and added refreshments for hires. But, sure, a brothel trade broker gets into the business for the precision of merchandise tallying and the associated reputation of it. 😉 If you’re nice and polite about checking the tab, like we typically do at restaurants, etc, perhaps it really doesn’t matter what ‘tude we perceive with often a queue behind us.

Could be simply the 117,000th and counting checkout adjudication …

One reason I take an apartment alone or in addition to a hotel room is the overabundance of salt typically used in eateries or sidewalk grills, particularly meat dishes. Prepare myself a lot of my nutrition. Not so much due to fluid retention worries but because I have no recollection of a past existence wherein a stall salt lick figured prominently as a dietary treat. Not a criticism as perhaps it’s related to preservative functionality. I have found, though, that a few mocequa meals have been seasoned to my liking.

At the movies. Keeping fit, eating responsibly, staying healthy. Back to this subforum in a few weeks anticipating, not ruling out, the gong show some of the usual interlopers turn some of these seminars into.

Not my take at all reading the Reynolds research team’s Cochrane-published work as well as an additional recent CoV-specific systematic review appended here. All concede a substantial risk of bias that undermines the rigour with which a randomized control trial would be best conducted. The few studies labelled RCT actually fall methodologically somewhere between observational and RCT because “control” in a genuine RCT does not simply denote the distinction between an intervention arm and a non-intervention control arm but aims to control, hold constant in multivariate analysis (meaning removal out of the equation via statistical techniques) those factors that can subvert or unintentionally but incorrectly support the outcome under investigation. In contrast, a vaccine RCT narrows the exclusive effect of the inoculation. You cannot match mask-wearers and non-wearers across the many variables otherwise predictive of infection. You cannot objectively measure adherence. The Bangladesh geo-cluster trial reported a modest benefit. This single study doesn’t necessarily support mask wearing; risk of bias permeates both desired and non-effect results. Cherry-picking is not useful in either of two orchards geared to an a priori binary viewpoint. My point is that there is probably no solid basis to either support or dismiss the merit of proper mask use in quantitative (ie, efficacy) terms. The pathogen has the upper hand, similarly immeasurable other than absolute incidence. Try reading and appraising the material without predisposition one way or another to the potential benefits of a risk mitigation concept. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10446908/

I’ve never been asked to show ID along with credit card. However, cards usually function in tap mode on the device without pin, so attendants may want that prerogative if suspicious.

You have the option of 2 towels or 1 towel plus a large terry cloth robe on check-in. If you spread out the robe on a vinyl mattress, not routinely swabbed between sessions because the cleaners are run off their feet and cannot track everything minute by minute that goes on in every private space, you get more cloth coverage over it. Another tip: If you rent a room that is put on your check-out tab, you have it for an hour. Write down the time from the clock at reception, making sure the attendant knows you are aware, and optionally keep the key for 55-59 minutes because you may want to fit in at least one more session. Rookie mistake is to hand back the key after 20-30 minutes and then regret it. The light dimmers generally don’t function well.

The rumours r true, then. U r actually totally a B-list celeb in balls-compressing tights both on and off the ice. 😉

Just transfer from Pairanoiaways to the express train for Whogivzafukistan.

Socks and sucks, a crew is best.

Honest shortlived mistake for a pluralist.😉

Just ask him. You’d be surprised. I am guessing Nicolás Ovando (?) but Caribe Colonial is a sure bet and they’ll all know what’s up as he pretty much has his name painted on a parking spot there. As you are aware any visitor will need to produce ID to the reception. There are post notes on inexpensive tryst facilities in El Condé if you search. The subforum is not that extensive.

FWIW, if you use public transport, take the commuter train westward from where it intersects from the Metro (likely Central station) and get off at the large modern Bangu Shopping. Be mindful that the track directions split at some point and you want the destination (likely marked on train or platform; Santa Cruz) with the endpoint that will have brought you to Bangu. I suggest taking Über from the shopping centre even though it is close to the sauna and will be circuitous due to the complex tangle of roads in that area. I wouldn’t take the bus alone. You probably have to get off at the maternity hospital anyway and make your way from there. Drivers will be familiar with the area due to the shopping, hospitals, and Boate Casa Grande club your destination. Perhaps others will have better or alternative suggestions, for example, don’t use public transport. Also be aware of Sunday train schedules later in the day. The Feira Livre da Glória can be loads of fun and tends to spill over to the west sidewalk around Carnival time. If you get there early enough you may have an opportunity to go up to and inside the mid-eighteenth century Church of Our Lady of Glory on the Hill as it is usually only open Sundays. In fact, you might decompress there for a few minutes following the all-nighter. The aforementioned Sunday Gloria market is formally 07:00-16:00, many of the vast array of stalls winding down earlier, but extended festivities following sales closure. It would be extremely ambitious to squeeze in Bangu same day. Safe travels.

It is now partnered with The Waterside Inn in UK and Chef Alain Roux. I needed no antidote to great local cuisine but it hit the spot as part of a broad range of options and alerted me to Baan Phraya at the hotel’s spa across the river.
