What punishment do you have in mind? Dropping one or more western nukes on the people of Russia? That won't happen!

So do you want to bet that 100% of Putin's nuclear weapons don't work? At some moment he might realize that it is the end for him personally. And then he will possibly ask himself why he should go down with a small bang if he can go down in a real big bang. For that reason alone, it is not a good idea to bring Putin in such a corner.

I guess only people who support those people might understand it. The rest just doesn't care.

Let's imagine Ukraine would get all the territory back. Does that mean they would have won the war? Does anybody expect that Putin will say: I am sorry, and we will pay for all the damage we have done? Or does anybody imagine someone will remove Putin and that new somebody will apologize and pay? Anybody?

Yeah, do that and look how Putin will react. And don't think that the fact that "the west" might retaliate will stop Putin from using nuclear weapons. There is a good reason why most countries and not stupid enough to fight guys with nuclear weapons. NK is a wonderful example. There is only one way to end this war: People have to talk to each other. And humiliating anybody involved won't help at all.

Lots of people like "great opportunities" - not only in Thailand. I have to admit when I was younger I also missed some of those great opportunities because I had no money at that time. In the hindsight it is good that I didn't have the money to "invest", because it would have been lost. Now combine such a "great opportunity" with the new girlfriend or wife who always worked so hard in her life and she would have been rich if only she would have had the money to invest... Many people are just not capable of seeing possible risks and thinking about what can go wrong. And most likely something will go wrong.

Did you forget the little issue that Russia has almost 6000 nuclear weapons? Have you thought about what the "paper tiger" could do with them? "Russia possesses a total of 5,977 nuclear warheads as of 2022,[2] the largest stockpile of nuclear warheads in the world" Russia and weapons of mass destruction - Wikipedia

The idea for having a UPS on a PC is that you can save all your documents and then shut down the PC correctly, without losing any data. Why do you have the TV, printer and DVD player plugged into the UPS? Would it be a problem for you if the TV or music just stops? And about the power consumption of devices: Just now my UPS tells me that PC and monitor use together 81W and that I would be able to use it for 72 minutes more. I think the power supply in my PC is rated 700W. And it will use a lot of power if I play 3D games. But it will use a fraction of that looking at the internet.

Ok, that's what you would like to see. Do you see even a 1% chance that this will ever happen?

Yeah, sure, Ukraine should win. How would such a win look like - realistically? Please explain.

A slummy area? I go there often to eat noodle soup in the morning. There are also lots of other vendors on the street. Is it luxurious? No. Is it slummy? I don't think so. At least that term never crossed my mind when I was there. And I wouldn't visit any slummy area if I don't need to. This is a Google street view image of that area.

I don't know. But I never look at my bills since a long time. I have my bill payment setup in my online bank account settings. When I click on the MEA entry, I see how much I have to pay. Or I see that I paid it already. Obviously, we need one initial bill or document to be able to set this up. But then it's good enough to check it once a month online and pay it.

How many people read manuals? Any manual? Sometimes I feel like I am the only one.

Since how many years are LiPo batteries used? Maybe 10 years? Small batteries are obviously a lower fire risk than big batteries. And how are they used and how good are they protected? In a scooter, with possible impact and water damage from the street, especially combined with cheap and unreliable chargers, are obviously a higher risk than better protected batteries in better environments with quality chargers.

Thaksin?

Obviously there are better and worse. But the principle is the same for all LiPo batteries.

How many people are aware of the risk? And how many people know that water makes such fires only worse? As far as I know most people are ignorant about the risk. They wouldn't put a canister of gasoline in their home. But a bad lithium battery is a bigger risk than that.

That is one of the reasons why they should be banned.

At least that part of your post is correct. ????

TRUE offered the device which can be set to bridge mode free of charge.

Most (all?) ISP in Thailand don't use usernames and passwords anymore. The serial number (or similar) in the router is used for authentication. If you use another router, then you are not authorized. What you can do, at least in theory, is using the ISPs device in bridge mode and then connect your equipment. I do that with a TRUE cable modem and then I use TP-Link OMADA devices. But not every router works in bridge mode, even if that is an option in the interface. Now I have another TRUE connection in another apartment. The existing router shows bridge mode, but it doesn't work. I asked TRUE about that, and they will change the existing router to another model (from CISCO) which works in bridge mode.

Ask a Thai person on minimum salary.

There is an easy solution. Ask your favorite bar girls. In the middle of the city there is one area at the end of Sukhumvit 22 before it turns left. And in areas like Sukhumvit 71 and 77 there are lots of options.

Don't forget the Netflix series about that topic.

Was the last "once in a century" flooding, maybe a century ago, also linked so the so-called climate crisis? Or was it just a once in a century flooding at that time? The big difference with floodings and other weather-related catastrophes these days is that there are far fewer victims then decades and centuries ago.
