And for some reason, in most of Asia, the common word for spigot seems to be, “cock.”
Celica GT
I found this beauty at one of my go-to breakfast places in town – it doesn’t serve breakfast food specifically, but it’s open from early, so you can eat whatever they make from the early morning all day. I usually order several bags of curry, stir fries, soups, and desserts to take home. But hey, I got all excited talking about food, and this is a car post.
This is an original or reproduction Celica 2000 GT liftback, reminiscent of a mini ‘Stang from the same era. It might have the legendary 18RG engine in it. I’m still heartsick about what to do with the Crown (it’s been sitting in the back lot of a nearby body shop since it got flooded), so I didn’t want to stick around and wait for the owner to ask questions. But damn, it was pretty. I generally like my cars black, black, and black, but this color really suits this car. If I found one in crustier condition, I would wide body it and immediately change the wing mirrors…
Khao Pad Moo
Pork fried rice – in its purest form, but I can’t remember how this one actually tasted. I never order fried rice outside, but Mina loves it. I prefer making it at home, unless it’s really good. I think this one was at my friend’s café out on the Maha Sarakham ring road; the food is pretty good there.

Lost in a Thai Forest
Well, the forest behind the English Program building at my uni, anyway.

Just before the new provincial art project statue thingy bridging the halves of the old MSU campus. Said thingy will probably be the subject of a future post.
Dragonfruit BBQ Sauce Ribs
Behold, dragonfruit ribs on my ghetto oil can smoker!
There were no leftovers that day.
Solution: The FINALS Error Code TFAV1012
It seems that EAC doesn’t like any hardware changes, because after I turned XMP on in BIOS, I started getting this error and others that caused crashes on startup and even during matches.
“An internal anti-cheat integrity check failed.”
I don’t cheat, and neither do many of the others seeing this message. However, it does seem to be triggered by hardware profile changes, and this solution (among many, including verifying file integrity in Steam, reinstalling the game and Easy Anti Cheat software, and granting EAC programs Full Control) was the only one that worked for me:
- Quit the game
- Rename this folder in Windows: Users/your user name/AppData/Local/Embark
- Rename this folder in Windows: Users/your user name/AppData/Local/Discovery
- Restart your computer
You can easily open the AppData folder by typing %AppData% in your Windows search bar, or typing the same into the Run dialog box after pressing Windows key and R at the same time. If that doesn’t work, you may need to enable the Hidden files option from the View tab under Show/Hide section of an open window.
Happy fragging!
Pitaya BBQ Sauce
I tried making a barbecue sauce out of red dragonfruit at the end of last year. It was colorful and pretty tasty, but nothing is coming close to the mango BBQ sauce I like making every year during mango season.
