Re: Are you voting for Joe Biden

My family and friends are 60/40 Trump supporters, I grew up in a Republican area of a Democratic state. I get to hear both sides and as the independent can annoy all of them. I'm a Canuck, so I get to play the "I dunno aboot Amurica" card when I don't want to talk to my family about any o...

Re: Are you voting for Joe Biden

The first point in quotes where you mention they do not count because they did not win the popular vote, is that something you heard someone say or believe is the prevailing thought? Minority or not, it is a huge portion of the population and they are integral to the sustained success of the countr...

Re: End of the world is coming to Cambodia

Sorry totally irrelevant, after seeing the title "End of the world coming to Cambodia." and then underneath on similar topics "7-11 coming soon", I had to laugh.

Re: Are you voting for Joe Biden

It's just demographics. The Trump supporters seem to include more blue-collar types... I'm going to interject with some "off topic" comment here that applies to this... ...I think this is something very important that a lot of white collar "educated" (whether it be institutional...

Re: Are you voting for Joe Biden

You do know there's a whole area outside of the American heartland not being in love 2ith Trump, don't you? True, but even amongst all my American relatives who are democrats (read that as none of them are republicans), none of them like Joe Biden. It was either Bernie, Andrew Yang or Tulsi Gabbard...

Re: Saying Hi, looking for advice learning Khmer and moving to Cambodia

Just an off the top of my head remark (living in Kampot), I'd say try Kampot first, and then make a few trips to Kep and try it out. It's a bit "isolated" and simple things you might take for granted like grabbing something to eat wont be as "stressful" in terms of culture shock ...

Re: How is it for YOU returning to live in the west after several years abroad?

Left "home" in 2006, went back in 2014 and lasted 8 months and became severely depressed. Economically it felt like there was no future, so I went back to Asia and haven't looked back since.

Re: Zinc rods available at all locally?

Thanks for the term to reference. I'm only familiar with really big 'ingots' of the stuff that goes into seawater cooled air conditioning units, didn't know there were little screw deals like this.

Zinc rods available at all locally?

I'm curious if this is even something that is known about here in the kingdom. Here in Kampot it seems there's a lot stopped up or clogged up pumps and barges that seem to be scaled up with all kinds of stuff...thinking that the introduction of sacrificial rods might save some people the headache of...

Re: Titanium dioxide particles frequently present in face masks intended for general use require regulatory control

I would like to join the "crazy" statement, but looking at reality, Murphy's full force is going on here, skipping the biggest mask refusals and vac delayers getting C19 (my boss for exampe) and the ones, that are (had been) careful, getting it (me) That's the camp I'm in actually. I was ...
