Oh yeah, me and my friends had hi5 accounts. I wrote this in 2008:
“hi5 is a spam magnet. hi5 is crap but not as crap as myspace. I quit once before and I might quit just again. So what if I can't keep in touch with my friends. Most of it is for stalkers anyway…”
By then I've moved to Facebook.

Perhaps making it less convenient is actually good for discouraging habitual phone use.

The toll for a 4-wheel vehicle to drive the entire M81 is 150 THB. Going to Nakhon Pathom will cost 45-75 THB depending on which exit you use as the toll is distance-based. Currently it is toll free.

This doesn’t include the fact that it’s super inconvenient to get from residential neighborhoods to the suburban station. We parked and rode. Feeder service is unreliable, infrequent and stops too early. Roads aren’t safe to walk so even a 20-min walk that’d be easy in Tokyo feels like an adventure.
