  1. Read my answer....just do it, spending a night at an airport is trivial exercise. I've slept at a few, having a 10 hours stopover in Abu Dhabi tonight. Don't get discouraged.
  2. There is no trill sleeping in Amari. Much more exciting is to lay on the floor and don't give a <deleted> about anyone passing by.
  3. https://www.sleepinginairports.net/guides/bangkok-don-muang-airport-guide.htm As far as I remember there was no carpet there but I could be wrong. There are quite a few relatively cheap food outlets at the domestic departure side sесond floor, not sure if they work 24x7. Give it a go...worst that can happen is they boot you out, there a few cheap hotels iin the vicinity, have inDriver and Grab installed on your phone. Obviously it is not Changi but you can go though a night easily IMO.
  4. Only half...this is too optimistic.
  5. The EU agricultural imports from Ukraine are 5% of their agricultural imports. https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=Extra-EU_trade_in_agricultural_goods#Main_trading_partners_for_agricultural_products EU itself has a sizable trade surplus in agricultural products of 43 bn, no chance of going hungry. And as far as trade is concerned they import 3+ times more from Turkey which is far from becoming a member: https://tradingeconomics.com/european-union/imports-by-country They even import more from Malaysia. Try harder next time.
  6. That's if EU lasts that long in its current shape. Take out Eastern Europe and club Med, and there are a few countries left funding the bloc. Last thing they need is another big poor country to fund. EU needs to take a look at its competitiveness, not concentrating on politicking. East Asia is slowly making them irrelevant.
  7. Europe is self sufficient in terms of food, it is also a wheat exporter. The only sizable import from Ukraine is sunflower, and sunflower oil can be easily substituted.
  8. PAM is the core of all sorts authentication on practically every Linux distribution, plus Solaris and others. The most widely used corporate 2FA (RSA securid) uses stacked PAM modules to do its job.
  9. Don't forget to scan the backups after you reformatted the system, or you'll reinfect yourself again. Scan with multiple engines so you don't miss something.
  10. Sydney to Samui is always quite expensive, pre covid the cheapest was to fly Sydney to Surat Thani via KL, and then get the shuttle to Nathon for 400 baht. I don't think AirAsia resumed the KL to Surat Thani flight. In other news seems that Thailand pass is getting abolished in July, so Samui may get a bit of high season taste. But some venues in Chaweng like Hard Rock cafe and Palms are still not open, and the Ark Bar renovation seems to go slowly slowly...I doubt they'll be able to open with its former glory early August.
  11. Direct conflict with Russia can trigger nuclear war and mutually assured destruction... https://truthout.org/articles/chomsky-we-must-insist-that-nuclear-warfare-is-an-unthinkable-policy/
