Re: Drivers Don’t See Red With New Traffic Lights in Capital

I don't understand why they have activated the new lights at intersections that already had them before, instead of starting with the intersections that didn't previously but desperately needed them. Oh wait... yes... Cambodia. nvm I've noticed major improvements with the new lights in two places s...

Re: Sniper Shatters World Record

According to the Canadian commander of the JTF, the shot was followed end to end by very fancy gear, with data and video shown to and confirmed by allies. Multiple mainstream media covered the story: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2017/06/22/report-canadian-sniper-kills-isis-fighter-2-mi...

Re: Why do Cambodians eat so badly?

$$$ goes back to the KR era when they ate whatever they could find.. Misleading facts. Pre Khmer rouge regime Cambodia was economically OK. Nonsense, the economy was in decline after 1966 and was completely destroyed during the 1970-75 civil war. Judging a country's cuisine on a $1 bowl of soup is ...

Re: Voltage stabiliser

Second, the pause for thought. I recently bought a small practice amp that hums quietly with no inputs, as soon as I plug in a lead it howls.

Re: Thoughts on Tuk Tuk hailing

Greetings all I just wondered what the general consensus was on Tuk Tuk drivers regulars yelling, screaming, and waving to get attention - and what peeps do in response for the most part. I have employed various tactics over the years - mainly for my self amusement - and just wanted to see how othe...
