  1. To lose a loved one and know nothing of their fate must be one of the worst feelings for anyone in the world. Hope clashing with fears of the worst, almost unbearable.
  2. Convert all tourist motorbikes to salaengs with speed limiters. Problem solved
  3. I'm wondering if this is the hapless driver. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckg8m8n1xlvo
  4. Unfortunately a lot of the new generation(s) gamble online, available 24 hours a day. And many lose not just a few baht but mass large debts, borrowing from relatives and loan sharks. It's a kind of unseen disease, the gambler doesn't rapidly lose his/ her looks ( until the loan sharks sorts them out), unlike the methamphetamine and serious lao khao consumers who show obvious signs of wear and tear after a while.
  5. Gambling is a cancer in Thailand, destroying many lives. Prevention is better than cure.
  6. Nobody is allowed in Gaza, the Israelis don't want people to see what's going on
  7. Fear of arrest, torture or death from the Hamas authorities. Hamas has been an absolute disaster for Gaza but so have the brutal Israeli attacks and apartheid of the Palestinians by the Israelis since way back producing generational hatred of Israel. More voices like this man desperately needs to be heard on both sides of the conflict.
  8. Carter laying it out regarding US acquiescence in Israeli apartheid.
  9. Israel finally admits holding Gaza doctor after first claiming to have no knowledge of his arrest. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj30deeggd7o
  10. He's probably wondering how to include a 'Green Beret' ban following the car explosion outside the Trump hotel in Vegas
  11. Neil Young is a treasure, refusing to burn out . Respected and in many cases revered by every generation of rock musicians., the man has a host of absolutely classic songs.
  12. Glastonbury was never just a music festival https://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/diversity-statement/#:~:text=From the very beginning%2C Glastonbury,our environment and each other.
  13. There you go, a rope to abseil down. The same principle as a sheet but more sophisticated. Should be adopted worldwide imo but might not help those too drunk or those suffering from a fear of heights.
  14. https://youtu.be/_nDKmPLX2WA?si=UgrwYBOZFDJsKxCD
  15. https://www.rfi.fr/en/middle-east/20241231-gaza-healthcare-nearing-total-collapse-due-to-israeli-strikes-un A long list of Israeli attacks resulting in the destruction of Gaza hospitals, with only vague Israeli claims of Hamas military activity at said hospitals . None of which could be verified by the international community.
  16. This year, next year, whichever year, still love this song
  17. If I recollect correctly, rooms in hotels in South Korea have to contain spare sheets which when tied together reach the ground!
  18. Let me know when Israel lets international journalists in to verify its claims regarding Hamas. IDF has no credibility when no one is allowed to actually check its claims.
  19. Babies dying from the cold in Gaza tents. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd0ep0j83p7o
  20. "WHO chief calls for end to IDF raids and strikes on Gaza hospitals | The Times of Israel" https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/who-chief-calls-for-end-to-idf-raids-and-strikes-on-gaza-hospitals/
  21. WHO chief calls for Israel to cease its attacks on Gaza hospitals. https://bsky.app/profile/euractiv.com/post/3lej2xauuky25
  22. Further reports from the BBC https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx26v70n5z4o
  23. Israel's callous destruction of the last functioning hospital in north Gaza https://edition.cnn.com/2024/12/28/middleeast/kamal-adwan-israel-arrests-hospital-director-gaza-intl/index.html
  24. Speculation now that after realising their mistake, the Russian authorities ordered the plane to land across the Caspian Sea rather than at a nearby airport, in the hope it would crash into the sea, leaving behind no evidence of their crass stupidity.
