Nice going, attack people that isn't native English speaking for not using correct grammar. You really don't have much good fact to use do you. And that number 95 % is just fiction. Do you really there is a study of what all scientists think? Scientist admits the ‘overwhelming consensus’ on the climate change crisis is ‘manufactured’ https://nypost.com/2023/08/09/climate-scientist-admits-the-overwhelming-consensus-is-manufactured/

There is a lot of science to at least be able to discuss this in a respectful way. The role of Earth's orbital changes in controlling climate was first advanced by James Croll in the late 19th century. Later, the Serbian geophysicist Milutin Milanković elaborated on the theory and calculated that these irregularities in Earth's orbit could cause the climatic cycles now known as Milankovitch cycles. They are the result of the additive behavior of several types of cyclical changes in Earth's orbital properties. Relationship of Earth's orbit to periods of glaciation Firstly, changes in the orbital eccentricity of Earth occur on a cycle of about 100,000 years. Secondly, the inclination or tilt of Earth's axis varies between 22° and 24.5° in a cycle 41,000 years long. The tilt of Earth's axis is responsible for the seasons; the greater the tilt, the greater the contrast between summer and winter temperatures. Thirdly, precession of the equinoxes, or wobbles in the Earth's rotation axis, have a periodicity of 26,000 years. According to the Milankovitch theory, these factors cause a periodic cooling of Earth, with the coldest part in the cycle occurring about every 40,000 years. The main effect of the Milankovitch cycles is to change the contrast between the seasons, not the annual amount of solar heat Earth receives. The result is less ice melting than accumulating, and glaciers build up. Milankovitch worked out the ideas of climatic cycles in the 1920s and 1930s, but it was not until the 1970s that a sufficiently long and detailed chronology of the Quaternary temperature changes was worked out to test the theory adequately. Studies of deep-sea cores and their fossils indicate that the fluctuation of climate during the last few hundred thousand years is remarkably close to that predicted by Milankovitch. A problem with the theory is that these astronomical cycles have occurred for many millions of years, but glaciation is a rare occurrence. Astronomical cycles correlate with glacial and interglacial periods within a long-term ice age, but do not initiate ice ages. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternary_glaciation

At least I posted 2 links to real scientific studies that should make anyone think again. This is very complex things and the way most people seams to address this is like religion. We believe and all who say something that not fit our believes/religion is bad. There where times when people believed that earth was flat and the center of the universe. Anyone who argued against that was in big trouble.

Soo someone decide to use a point in time. Not far back and the coldest point in 8 000 years and that’s then the only relevant way to measure this. Talk about cherry-picking. Nature and the universe have quite long cycles of change. And there is a lot we don’t know and understand about it. If we ever will have a chance to understand more about something as complex as this I think people have to stop treating this like a religion and look at all facts with open minds.

Passed that test in Phuket and have a scar on my calf to show for it. -

Since Phuket is declared free of rabies I would be surprised if it was on the list. -
Settle a pub "discussion"
bokningar replied to VocalNeal's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I might be wrong I don't read Thai so I can't read Thai law. But the way I have it is that the law state that you need to bring your passport. Bit TIT so that is not really enforced. If they ever ( and I have never been asked) ask for it, a photo copy or a drivers license would be OK . Carrying a passport in the rain could ruin it. No point in argue about it. Just separate law from what is reality. -
Has OA visa rules been altered
bokningar replied to stratocaster's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Could it be that hi didn't have that insurance they demand that you have for a longer time than the visa. I would guess they won't give the permission to stay without it. But that's just guessing. -
After many years reading post at this forum, I had it that the process was very easy. Send money, buy property in wife/girlfriends name. Keep sending money until no more to send. Get kicked out and at best the ex buy you a ticket back home. And you get back home in the winter in flip-flops and shorts. But I might just have read the wrong treads and looked at the wrong documentaries on TV. Never tried it myself. And in all fairness a lot of guys seams to be happy with their investments.

Internet banking change.

So you are able to look at an qr code ans tell what thy say? I'm very impressed. Millions of people use QR codes every day, You need to teach them -
I understand that this might be outrageous and unheard of here. But why not in a nice respectful and caring way tell him not to put all eggs in one basket. Make sure he has enough money back where he came from so he can go back if anything goes wrong.

bokningar replied to owl sees all's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Yes that sounds right. Since a laptop screen is so much smaller than a big phone screen. And as you get older that big 5 inch phone screen must be better than your 14 inch laptop. To actually see what you do is overrated. -
Virtual credit card
bokningar replied to madox66's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
So the only way to use it is with that app? Is there a way to use it on your laptop instead?
