Black mould after recent wet weather.
I have been using Hydrogen Peroxide, but plan to try Tea Tree Oil as suggested by earlier poster. i used it once to treat a toenail fungal infection, so I know if works on fungi. also good as an antiseptic, but must be diluted.

He got divorced
I remember reading a story once. Don't know how true. It might not even be possible today. About a guy in a similar situation. he stopped paying the mortgage and dragged it out while squirrelling the mortgage money away. When it came to the lawyer asking for half the house, which was by now due to be repossessed, he told the lawyer that the wife was also liable for half the debt. i think he managed to negotiate a better settlement for himself, paid off the debt and kept the house.

Thanathorn, Thaksin Hold Talks on Backing Pheu Thai’s PM Pick
Thanathorn will lose all credibility for the PP if he gets in bed with PT. It's not what their new generation voters want.

Algebra tutor for grade 10
This might be a bit out there for you, but you might find Khan Academy useful. It is free and covers a wide range of maths. The first link is the website, and the second takes you straight to algebra. It was originally created by an American guy to help his kids or nieces with their maths, and grew from there. https://www.khanacademy.org https://www.khanacademy.org/math/algebra HTH

U.S. leadership in science & technology is coming to an end
I wonder if RFK Jr is leaving himself open to criminal and civil legal action for any deaths that occur due to his actions as head of US Health. I feel Trump will be signing so many pardons at the end of his term that he will get Writer's Cramp.

Foreigner's High-Tech Car Theft Attempt Foiled in Phuket
Apparently, the information they can glean is quite telling. These are just a few; All your phone contacts, your conversations in the car, musical tastes, where you go, how you drive, and even if and when you have sex in the back seat. I'm not sure if that last one could be used as a blackmail tool for any married cheats. 😀

Do you own a robot vacuum cleaner?
Do you have a cat? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxoCzFJtZfA Might be a good idea to stick an Air Tag on the robot. Just in case it escapes one night. 😀

RFK Jr Announces All Doctors Must Learn Proper Nutrition
That won't go down well with their fast food company friends. I wouldn't be surprised if the Donald negotiated himself a free meal deal for life for promoting McD's. 😀

Wise transfers suddenly stopped working
It might be something to do with the recent clamping down by banks to reduce fraud. Have you been into either of your banks recently to have your face scanned and passport details checked? I'm not saying it is, but it could be something like that.

Former Police Chief Faces Fresh Charges as 'Boss' Case Reopens
One law for a drunken pickup driver, who would be fined 50,000 baht, and another for a billionaire who has given the family of the victim millions. From a family worth almost 1.6 Trillion THB, I would say that the supposed payment of some 3 million baht to the family of the victim is more of an insult than a compensation. Especially since the accused did a runner. Not putting a price on a death, but it was the equivalent of about £60,000 at the time. it probably cost more to repair the Ferrari.

What happens when a tariff policy descends into sheer idiocy?
if tariffs are paid by US manufacturers on imported raw materials, let's say steel, aluminium or copper. Surely those costs will have to be passed on to the customers, be they US customers or export customers. So for example, how can a US produced Tesla built with tariffed imports compete with a Chinese built BYD? They are on a hiding to nothing from the start. Where Trump went wrong was he should have secured materials and supply lines before trying to blackmail everyone. I bet he won't try sticking tariffs on China's rare earths. "We have a bigger weapon against China than their rare earths. We have Boeing aircraft spare parts." Yeah right! "But I won't use it." Ha Ha!!!

Visa Crackdowns, QR Code Rules Spark Panic Among Pattaya Expats
Just avoid those places that insist on cashless payment. Likely better coffee places than Starbucks anyway. Costa coffee started doing that in the UK. Tried it with me once and I never went back. Read in he news today that they were bought out by Coca Cola a few years ago and are going down the pan. The last time I went back, I got scammed using my credit card to buy coffee. Massive bills run up by some scammer who had somehow got my card details. It wouldn'y have happened paying cash. I understand it from the seller's point of view; less cash to handle, less chance of theft, time saving etc., but I prefer to have the choice. Not have it forced upon me.

Trump's Shock Move: Fed Governor Lisa Cook Axed in Sudden Purge
She has already said the charges are "trumped up" and will sue. Likely Trump is doing this to as you say, "Take over the fed." What I don't understand if you are a US citizen is why you sound so happy about him weakening the USD. Won't it affect exchange rates for USD to THB and make it more expensive for Americans living here? Just asking.

Is there a Thai version of English Received Pronunciation?
I was chatting to a Thai guy in English today, but he turned to Thai to talk to my daughter. Afterwards she said to me, "Your friends speaks the best Thai." When I asked her what she meant, she said,It's like a Thai version of English RP, (Received Pronunciation.) So I was wondering. I suppose there must be an accent spoken by the well bred, the highly educated and hi so Thais etc., but is there a part of Thailand where it is considered that they speak the best Thai? I presume it would likely be Central Thai.

Panic as tourists abandon the US
Off topic I know, but he, his sons, and his cronies the Witkoff family might have finally hit the lodestone with his latest grift, the USD1 aka Trump stable coin. I expect they will all become extremely rich in the very near future.
