"When do we stop trusting everything the institutions say?' I haven't trusted any government since the Iraq war in 2003 (actually, possibly since 2001, but I won't go there). I'm a keen observer of cognitive dissonance. Show multiple undeniable and objective truths, and observe denial and disbelief based purely on emotions and ideology. I call it the razor blade effect. A play on Occam's Razor and Orwell's reference Parsons celebrating the Ministry of Plenty announcing record razor blade production, yet he can't find any razor blades. I often wonder why Orwell used razor blades as an example of cognitive dissonance. I suspect he actually was highlighting Occam's Razor - the most obvious answer is probably the correct one. But maybe I tink too mut.

Climate change: 'Uncharted territory' fears after record hot March
Gsxrnz replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I've noticed that when it is cloudy, the temperature is cooler. Maybe our weather is a result of solar flare (Milankovitch maximum/minimum) cycles, solar winds, the earth axis wobble, cosmic rays, cloud formation, and circular or elliptical orbit of the planet. Call me a Neanderthal, but I reckon that big orange coloured thing in the sky probably has a lot to do with the climate....anthropogenic influence, not so much. But we should never let the truth get in the way of a good fundraising scheme. -
The biggest mitigating factor to the cost of water is how many daughters you have. Usual monthly cost circa 700 baht in a condo. Daughter was away for a month, cost 288 baht. And the electrickery cost reduced by 30% also. Go figure.

Two Estonians fined for smoking on Finnair flight into Bangkok

The only surprise is that lighting up on a flight is not yet considered a "hate crime". Only a matter of time... -
Extended Songkran Festival Set to Boost Tourism Revenue
Gsxrnz replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The real winners are the street vendors selling factory "seconds" water guns at 500 Baht a piece. Every gun I ever bought develops prostrate cancer within 3 minutes and can only muster a weak dribble thereafter. -
Thai state personnel to receive Chinese language training
Gsxrnz replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
But here's the untold secret - the Chinese language teachers will, (of course) be Thais who learned their Chinese from another Thai, and that Thai learned Chinese from a native Glaswegian, who learned it from a Spaniard , whose great grandfather was once shipwrecked in Macau. Can't see any problems.- 19 replies

Making an Automatic so it can be pushed
Gsxrnz replied to Negita43's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
I love it when they park like this and don't leave any gaps. Once watched a fat farang in Central push about 10 cars in a row to allow his car to exit. He pushed the last car and didn't have enough room - back to the start and do it all again. Poor mugger probably went home and had a heart attack. I would have offered to help, but he was cursing loudly in German. -
I used to be scared of chicks in the cockpit - until I boarded a Qantas flight from BKK to SYD and heard the overly effeminate male pilot announce on the intercom that he welcomed all passengers aboard and was "excited" to be at the controls. I might have let it pass, but he also had a lisp. I was sitting in the middle seat and white knuckled both armrests for about ten hours.

Meta's "Take It Down" Debuts in Thailand for Teen Safety

Russian woman blames period for assault on pregnant Thai shopkeeper

Did the BIB accept her claim, or call a gynecologist too look into the matter? -
Commander of HTMS Chonburi transferred pending investigation

The only real surprise here is that the other captain didn't fire one back - just because he could. -
Removing shoes going into a shop- selective hygiene?
Gsxrnz replied to Scouse123's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
My understanding is that if it's a purely retail outlet, shoes on. But if the premises is a shop-house, where the staff or owner/s sleep and eat there, it's considered a residence, shoes off. -

Kiwi Brothers Slapped With 5 Charges For Assaulting Policeman
Gsxrnz replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
My prediction - subject to a large enough envelope of the manila variety finding its way to the appropriate big cheeses, the copper will become the sacrificial lamb and transferred to Nakon Nowhere. It will come to light that he was suffering from severe mental trauma (probably due to money pressure from his Mia Noi), and acted with unnecessarily provocation in waving his pistol about, threatening to shoot the humble Kiwi brothers if they didn't pay the "fine", and fearing for their lives, the pistol was grabbed from him after he accidentally discharged it. Not saying this is what happened, just that this (or a variation of it) will be reported. We may even get a picture of the Phuket constabulary giving the brothers a basket of fruit and flower garlands. -

Thailand braces for heatwave and storm surge across 12 provinces
Gsxrnz replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Meteorologists and Economists are the two professions when they can get it wrong more than 50% of the time and still keep their jobs. A gypsy woman with a crystal ball is probably more believable.
