I think one of the big problems is that politicians mostly don't understand complex science - like many of us. So scientist have to make a 10 page summary of their long study. And then probably a one page summary for the politicians. And that summary is obviously often like: Which part of my study do you want for your summary (for political reasons). It's complicate - far too complicate for 5min news.

1. Good luck we split up and I moved to Thailand. 2. Munich, in summer, not the Oktoberfest, see picture 3. Cambodia. Nepal is too cold.

That is something I started before Covid, at that time mostly electronics from China. Later I also bought more and more on Lazada. Now for many small and relative cheap items, I buy online. It saves me the travel through town, and it is not necessary anymore to talk to sales people who know less about their products then I know. I would really miss online shopping if I couldn't use it anymore. Years ago, I was almost the only guy in our condominium building who received parcels. When the reception received a box there was a high chance that it was for me. Now there are daily probably hundreds of boxes for (it seems) everybody in the building.

Anybody who reads this forum is online. But some of us are a lot more online than others. I.e. I don't have Facebook, I seldom look at Twitter. But I watch a lot of YouTube videos, sometimes to learn something, sometimes for entertainment. I also look some parts of "shows" like Triggernometry, Lex Fridman, Joe Rogan, Bill Maher and others. Sometimes people talk about online trends, and how the world is so different from years ago because of this and that online. Interesting. But I have to admit I never noticed. Maybe because I am in Thailand and not "the west", or maybe because I mostly don't know what happens on Twitter, Facebook, etc. How about you? Do you know about all those things which go viral? Do you care? Does it enhance your life? Or are you mostly ignorant about trends and live a happy and, some people would say, ignorant life? Samples are online inspired "new" behavior of men and women. All those gender issues. The "climate catastrophe". Hollywood trends. Cancelled people.

Available in Foodland. I don't know the other products so I can't comment about their availability. In general, I suggest look in Foodland, Tops, Villa Market.

Why does my laptop run at near or 100% CPU load?
OneMoreFarang replied to simon43's topic in IT and Computers
Just use the build in task manager. It shows all the important information. There is no need to install another program for that. -

OneMoreFarang replied to simon43's topic in IT and Computers
Then, at least if you run Windows, that is normal when you switch on the PC. Windows takes ages to check for updates, download updates, install updates, and maybe again the same. I suggest switch it on, make sure it doesn't go to sleep, and wait and hour. Then maybe restart and maybe do it again. And then all should be fine. Mostly I work on my desktop. Whenever I know I will use my notebook then I do this procedure hours before I have to actually use it. Then it is back to 0% CPU when I need to use it. I would switch it on and let it update at least once per month so that this procedure doesn't take forever. -
How old is that PC? Windows 8 was released in 2012, 11 years ago. Maybe it's time to retire that old PC and get a new one.

I can't be sure but I think that is unlikely. The idea seems to be (online) fraud prevention so that people don't transfer money to criminals. That is not relevant for incoming money. Or that is the problem of the sending bank. -
That's what I thought...

It would be interesting to see that document. Will it be in English? Will we be doomed if we sign it. Most of the time I can live with the 50k limit. I am relucent to sign something like that.
