Bejesus, what a tragedy, and tragically it was entirely avoidable.

I think this is a question for the experts. But perhaps the money from you should go into a sole account. I did ask a question on Mike Lister's forum about me giving my g/f money as gift from abroad....gifts are, I think, tax free under 10 million baht and 5% over that ( I might be wrong). I don't think I got a response, perhaps meaning, that it was sailing too close to the wind, and maybe he has professional ethics etc to consider. I didn't pursue it further. If I send my gf a gift of 2 million baht each year and she uses the money to maintain our household, would that attract tax? Would that change if I had it sent from a joint or sole from my son in the US?

For foreign affairs it foreign affairs the government narrative to the letter. It is enforced with Schedule D notices, to prevent any media outlet for presenting a counter. The BBC is obliged by its charter to offer the counter narrative for domestic affairs and to give equal prominence to other views but whichever government complains loudly whenever it offers too much of a counter narrative. It seems that the government want to include more oversight into the internet footprint of the BBC....this sounds like even more censorship to me.

When is SC primary? Is SC part of Super Tuesday?

Reportedly from US press, 70% of those polled (in the post vote sampling) were Democrats. So some anti-Trump voting may have been expected as members of both political parties can tout in NH unlike most other states where voting in the Republican primary would be restricted to GOP members.

That'll help! Not.

Just cut out the windows.

The BBC was started as a private company just after WW1. The channel was brought under government ownership shortly thereafter and turned into a fully censored propaganda station very quickly. In the early 30's, for example, Oswald Mosely's speeches and commentary were several censored. During WW2 the World Service became unashamedly supportive of anti-Nazi propaganda (some might say, rightfully so). Today it functions as a state sponsored media outlet, reliable for football scores but biased in political matters and foreign affairs where it always takes an establishment view and presents that as the sole truth, omitting any news that runs counter to the narrative the government wants.

I agree 90%, if I were looking for the best person to lead America next, it would not be Trump. I think it would be someone we have never heard of. I liked Vivek myself. I have no allegiance to either of the members (Dems or GOP) of the Uniparty. My #1 issue is the endless choosing of war by politicians of both stripes to solve every issue. It simply doesn't work and has killed millions of people. I want some who is anti war, not another warmonger like Biden, or Haley, or Sanders, or Clinton, or Newsom. . If it is Biden vs Trump, it's Trump for me. If it is the primary race and its Haley vs Trump it is Trump for me. If it is Sanders vs Trump, it's Trump because Sanders has joined the Let's All Massacre the Palestinian party.

Agree 100%

I'm glad to say I have never been beaten up by Thais, or for aggressively beeping my horn or shouting in shops. But there is still time, until I die at least and it might save the problems of arranging a suicide.

Seems foolhardy to me, but I am old (and therefore stupid).

Yes but the amount of oxygen in the air decreases dramatically as you go higher....it is not do with the temperature but the molecular weight of oxygen. Both engines will perform less well on low oxygen tensions, jet engines will perform less poorly....but there is a reason why commercial jets don't fly at 100,000 feet despite the claimed increased efficacy in the charts in Khun LA's post.

my thoughts exactly

I saw this reported in the Guardian.....the votes weren't counted yet but Trump was ahead 54 to 45% I cannot bring myself to understand how 45% of any electorate see Haley as a suitable candidate for Presidential office. In the Guardian it reported that NH, being a state where members of any party can vote in the primaries, that many Democrats voted for Haley, in order to spite Trump. I do hope this is correct and that his standing in the GOP is higher than 54%, if not, he will have a troubled presidency.

'a staggering 718 patients were admitted to hospitals between January 14 and 20' There is nothing staggering about 718 going into hospital. I went be getting any more vaccine thank you, despite 'staggering' reports in the media.

I must say when I moved here it was a problem...in the bank, post office, 7/11 and so on. It seems to be very rare these days, I had the isolated example last week in True, but I can't say it is any sort of frequent problem. I should say I think that as you get older, with one foot in the grave, you get much tetchier about mundane things. There was a UK comedy show about this called One Foot in the Grave.

hahahaha

Better but I need to see the denominators for the the previous league table. This tallies with experience, Ford make <deleted>ty vehicles (I still own one I bought for my wife to learn to drive in and it has a recall over the crap gearbox) and Honda don't. But we do have to understand what are minor recalls and what are serious one. I do hate this aggregation of data done by other persons and like to see the actual data myself, before drawing conclusion.....many folk look at the same data and draw different conclusions.

Comparing jet engines with ICEs is a bit of a stretch.

Of course I'm aware that the petrol industry raises the climate change science. I have written as much to the delight of the people on here, knowing as I do having been a university post-grad and post doc, the importance of grants and how they say researchers to do studies that support the narrative. I totally agree that we would be better off walking, especially for those short 1-2 km journeys that Americans always use cars for, because there is no useful public transport. But in cities, take Paris for an example, where you don't have the mammoth fatties that you do in the US, people walk and the women are slim, it is because it is a ball ache to get the car out, then find a parking space afterward. The problem is rural areas where there is no public transport. Where I live it is 7kms to the nearest shop. I can't spend 4 hours each day to walk to buy food and then back, lugging the groceries. We do have motors bikes but tbh I do not like the Missus riding them because of the idiots on the road.

Khun LA, I have a few questions here. Are OTA updates not really over the air, do you have to install the new software or patches manually? You cannot use the car without Google or Apple pay, would the car not run with these updates? Would it really be a road hazard? In other messages you have used the terms BEV is this Battery EV as in it uses the battery exclusively? And ICEV....does this mean hybrid? Thanks

Wo= need to look at the % of cars on the road vs the number of recalls. In the US Honda is the most popular car....there are zillions on the roads....despite being the EV of choice, there are many fewer Teslas on the road. We need to know the % of Teslas vs the % of Another brand to compare.

I used to hear a lot about blue babies when I was a child. I thought it was to do with Rhesus factor.

I looked at them in depth, some time back.....they seemed expensive for what they offered. At the time I didn't look 'bite'. I'll follow this to see if I missed something. I'm interested in net returns....net of tax and net of fees.
