And I though the courts are independent from the lawmakers. He is a convicted criminal. No political majority can change that fact. As far as I know 8 years in prison and still on the books for him. Lock him up!

Really? I hoped for years that he returns. The cell door is wide open for him.

She can help him to open the prison door. After all, he is an old man.

In the moment the units above and below me are not occupied. No noise problem. Let's see what will happen in the future. I paid attention to my neighbor walls left and right and I have a sound isolation front door. I still have to move in after my mostly finished renovation. Let's see.

Sorry, no. It's not the only solution. Obviously that is one solution. Doing everything is obviously also the most expensive solution. But why to A, B and C when D is the main factor for the noise? I.e. in my condominium I made sure all the cracks on top of all the internal walls to the neighbors were filled. No cracks anymore means the sound has to go through the walls and not the cracks. That is a lot more difficult for the noise. Result: Less of that noise arrives on my side.

Counseling is a great idea. You could watch or read what an experienced clinical psychologist like Jordan Peterson has to say about this. Counseling, for a long time, is the way to analyze the situation. I looked for a short video for you. You can find the hour-long videos with more detailed information - from a professional.

Be prepared!

The fact that people voted for a person like her is just amazing. America, the land of the free and all that.

Good luck with all that. Before I renovated my apartment, I watch at least 10 YouTube videos about this. What I learned is just throwing money on what might be the problem is maybe not the best idea. I.e. maybe the problem are conduits for electric cables in the walls. And maybe isolating the electrical outlets is a solution to solve this problem. Obviously maybe not, maybe it's the ceiling. My point is that I wouldn't spend a lot of money to isolate the ceiling only to later find out that the noise is still there because it came from somewhere else. There must be some experts out there who are able to check the details.

I had a situation like this with my neighbor. First time I ignored it. Second time I waited maybe 20min and it didn't get any better. I called the building security. They knocked on his door and it was quiet. Next time the trouble started again I called the security right away. Slowly the neighbor learned.

And then there are people who interpret it as hate when others ask questions. Why is it hate if some people ask if it makes sense to give hormones to teenagers to stop their natural development? Why is it hate if people ask why teenage girls get their healthy breasts surgically removed? There are enough people out there who regret that they started to transition - with irreversible consequences. Talking about this and asking questions is not homophobic or transphobic or whatever. It is about seeking the truth and looking at the best options for minors. Transitioning to another gender might be one option. But it is certainly not the only option. That is what those "haters" talk about.

Thanks, they look like a good addition. Because of the very modular design from IKEA, I ordered some, mostly inexpensive, parts in advance to see them in real and decide if I want to use them or not. I.e. I looked at this shelf system. I like it. The following is a set. They are also available part by part. https://www.ikea.com/th/en/p/kungsfors-susp-rail-shlf-dish-dra-wll-gr-stainless-steel-ash-s29254336/

I read that article yesterday. It makes a lot of sense. But are there any climate catastrophe activists out there who want that we use our brains and don't just accept: electric good, combustion engine bad. Rowan Atkinson writes: We need also to acknowledge what a great asset we have in the cars that currently exist (there are nearly 1.5bn of them worldwide). In terms of manufacture, these cars have paid their environmental dues and, although it is sensible to reduce our reliance on them, it would seem right to look carefully at ways of retaining them while lowering their polluting effect. Fairly obviously, we could use them less. As an environmentalist once said to me, if you really need a car, buy an old one and use it as little as possible

Wonderful. And how many of the nice LBGTQ+/- people, who you like and respect, tell you that they need to talk to your children to explain to them that some people are different? How many "women" with penis do you know who you would like to see in the locker room together with your wife or girls? I agree that many people, regardless of which sexual organs they have, and regardless of what they desire, are nice people. But there are also crazy and bad people out there. We don't have to be inclusive to all of them, including the bad people.

At least 95% of what I bought on Lazada was what I expected. If the description is misleading or unclear, I don't buy it. If the seller rating is low, I won't buy it. If the price is too good to be true, I won't buy it. If I am not sure, I chat with the shop. Some don't react with anything useful, so I don't buy it. Thats still leaves many good shops with many interesting products which are difficult to find in shops. I am sure some shops sell those things. But where? And do I want to travel to the other side of the city for a 100B item if I can just order it and wait for 2 days? I guess it would be very difficult for Lazada to filter out some products and/or sellers. How many sellers are there? And how many products? Should a team of 100 people every day look at all those details? Who will pay for that? Look at the details of the product and the seller. Chat with them. And only buy if you think all is ok.

If is it not a switching converter than there won't be extra noise. Two cables around a core. That's it.

AI = Artificial Intelligence <> robots. Robots are getting more sophisticated but they are still very expenive. This is an interesting interview about the current situation. 2 years ago:

How should that be possible? I imagine it might be that AI might be better in analyzing facts, making a diagnosis, and suggesting the best treatment. But how much is that of the total healthcare? Who pulls the blood and analyzes it? There are certainly machines and chemicals involved in this process. Where does medication come from? Someone must produce them. Who helps people into hospital beds? Maybe robots. And they cost a lot more than just electricity. Who does the operations? The list goes on and on. I am sure AI will be helpful. But there is a lot more to it than just AI and electricity.

This is probably the first time that I add a serious comment to this thread. I am currently watching the below video. Starting from about 31 minutes into the video it contains about an hour of discussion between Jordan Peterson and Konstantin Kisin, about god. Both are highly intelligent people. Konstantin Kisin does not believe in god. With Jordan Peterson I am not sure how to describe his relation to god and religion. But he argues like if god exists. Whatever you think, I think this is a very interesting deep discussion. Enjoy! And no, I don't want to discuss this here. It's just an interesting link.

Sure. Rent a villa somewhere and do your party. And make sure you don't disturb the neighbors. Enjoy.

IMHO that is the biggest problem. Sometimes I built PCs for small businesses. Price is not really a big issue. Years ago, I used good parts and a relative cheap small case - and customers were not impressed. Then I used bigger cases from Cooler Master, etc., with basically the same internal parts. Customers were impressed with those fast (=big) PCs. I will never build and sell any cheap and small PCs anymore... You can see right away that that must be a fast PC. ????

There was a time when gays and lesbians just wanted to be accepted like everybody else. I think most of us accept them. But then, I don't know when it started, some of them decided to rub is all in our faces. You don't only have to accept the way we are, you have to celebrate it! And dare not to do that. And now, with some very loudmouth activists, we should even deny reality. Suddenly a man with a penis, who tells us he identifies as a woman, must be treated like any other woman. He can just walk into women's locker rooms, etc. And if anybody asks if that really makes sense, then just asking that question brings comments like bigot, etc. Can we please get back to a point where we could live in peace together without sexualizing everything? The world will be just fine without a pride month or day or hour. School children don't need to see frag queens to grow up. We should at least try to live in harmony together.

It depends on what you want and expect. I was in Koh Larn (1h boat from Pattaya) in 1996 and I shared a long beach with maybe 5 other people. I loved it. But we were lucky to get some food at all, no choice of a couple of restaurants. It all depends on that you want. My comment was mostly about the fact that some places are advertised like pristine beaches with few people, but in reality, it is crowded. Not according to expectations.

That would obviously be smart. But imagine if you would love that people recognize you everywhere. And that some of them treat you like the messiah. And you know you just deserve to be treated like that. He will get that only in Thailand. In all those other countries he can probably walk into any 7/11 and they tell him to go to the end of the line. So sad for someone who just knows how important he is.

I don't know what is end game is. But his constant attitude is that he hates it to be ignored. Now people talk about Move Forward and not about him. That is obviously something he can't accept. So what does he do? Go to the press with some crazy statement which he will know they will pick up. And he has another 15 minutes of fame. It must be sad to be so desperate for attention.
