Despite today’s potential for preparation, the article (excluding the Thai text) focuses mostly on the fire event and emergency response, but not on the preventative layer that should’ve preceded it. It gives us what happened, not why it had to happen that way. It fails to ask the uncomfortable question: Why did it reach the point where fleeing was the only remaining option?

"Slaughterhouse" Remark Sparks Legal Action at Khon Kaen Hospital
jacnl2000 replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
+1 Here’s the “because…” part of the plan—the rationale—which was missing or not fully activated: Preventing misunderstanding through structured, low-cost communication mechanisms helps reduce emotional escalations and reputational risk. It aligns ethically with patient-centered care and makes fiscal sense by lowering the chances of legal fallout. No, I’m not writing a book on it. What has been written here hits the point perfectly, no need for a book. And no, I’m not submitting a policy proposal about proactive communication in critical care. Just stating what should be obvious. -
Kindness Pays Off: Buriram Woman Wins 6 Million Baht in Lottery
jacnl2000 replied to snoop1130's topic in Isaan News
Hope’s a funny thing. What’s the harm in buying a lottery ticket? Why not support the only game in town that sells you hope? Maybe one day, that ticket will hit. Maybe it’s foolish, but it’s the only game where I get to dream.- 1 reply

Weather impacts in vineyards can result in lower yields, which may prompt a change in production volumes or even influence which wines are made available in certain markets. Not sure what may have happened here—could it be a labeling error or a final dump of the last few bottles available? With the vineyard now closed, it’s a final chance to enjoy your drink!

You can’t take anything with you, they say—and that feels about right. Mansions lose their beauty the closer you get. From the third floor, it’s just metal roofs and emptiness. It’s grand, yet hollow. Kind of like walking around with your ass in oversized pants—looks fine from a distance, but it doesn’t quite fit. Yeah, that’s how it is. Wouldn’t you say? I understand we aren't all on the same page here. I’m in the autumn of my life, learning to let go of what doesn’t fit anymore.

Farangs often prefer structure and predictability, while Thais embrace fluidity and living in the moment. The "wee wah" (ambulance siren) symbolizes life's unpredictability, reminding us not everything follows a plan. Thais adapt to chaos, while farangs struggle to let go. Songkran is where these worlds collide, with both swept into the same flow. As the rain season nears, it's a reminder to prepare, but also to accept that some things, like the weather, can't be controlled.

Thailand at Risk of More Unpredictable Earthquakes, Experts Warn
jacnl2000 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
In relation to earthquakes and dangerous lightning, it's easier to predict where they might occur than when. Take a look at the available earthquake monitors on the internet. The only thing I can count on is that I can’t count on anything for sure. It’s like the ground keeps shifting, but somehow, that’s still the ground. Fitting context: We humans tend to reduce uncertainty by introducing all kinds of technology, and in doing so, we often become addicted to it. -

No, I never bash nor hate, so I try not to waste the bit of energy left in me. It is Mike White who may have made an intentional therapeutic miscalculation by alienating the entire cast in a non-fitting habitat. After going viral twice, Mike White now finds himself like Clarence, the very unfortunate cross-eyed lion of the ’60s—distinctive, memorable, yet somewhat misplaced. But something much more profound happens here. When a show is set in a place that feels familiar to me, it acts as a doorway to memories and emotions. White Lotus Season 3 attracted a much larger audience due to the virality of WL1 and WL2, but it also became a conduit for reconnecting with old friends and lovely past moments. For me, it pulled attention away from an overly complicated—and therefore boring—plot, shifting my focus toward revisiting what you’ve summarized thus far, and into an entirely different emotional space. Such an experience is a testament to the power of environment in storytelling: once upon a rock-on-top-of-the-watermelon time, there were two lovely, well-ripened seasons... It’s fascinating to watch how a simple change in setting can alter the focus and create a deeper, more personal connection to a show. Casting for WL3 wasn’t easy. Some of these people walked away. Why does a lion go on holiday? To relax and paws for a while! 😆 Or maybe to hunt for some roar-some adventures! 🦁🌴 Why does a lion like Mike White go on holiday? To escape the prying eyes—even if they’re crossed! 😆 Or maybe to find a setting where he’s the king of the jungle again, instead of feeling like a misplaced guest. 🦁🎬🌴 Apologies for the earlier confusion. The final episode of "The White Lotus" Season 3 is scheduled to air on Sunday, April 6, 2025. The finale will be the longest episode in the series' history, running approximately 90 minutes. -

In White Lotus S3 the monkeys overshadow the human drama, adding a layer of life and energy that was more engaging than the characters' interactions. -

14 Provinces Affected by Earthquake, Relief Efforts Underway
jacnl2000 replied to Georgealbert's topic in Thailand News
Agree with previous poster. Given that the China Railway Engineering Corporation (CREC) with a history spanning over seven decades has worked in earthquake-prone regions before, it’s expected that they would have experience in implementing earthquake-resistant designs, including a comprehensive understanding of constructing on soft clay substrates, utilizing various ground improvement methods to ensure structural integrity. Sad that the current situation unfortunately cannot be undone, but that doesn't mean we can no longer share nice moments with each other in Bangkok's highest tower. My apologies to Oliver Zipse for covering his BMW X7—guess even a luxury SUV needs a little privacy sometimes. A picture of shaky buildings perched on a wobbly jelly cake, topped with cherries, is far from reassuring. Concept of unforeseen seismic activity might be introduced—when the intensity or characteristics of an earthquake exceeds previous expectations or building standards. It was an exceptional heavy one shaking up the design book. -
Thailand's Global Education Ranking Sparks Controversy and Scrutiny
jacnl2000 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
My own IQ is based upon Western linguistic structures and problem-solving approaches. My two children might be at a slight disadvantage here, so I'm capable of helping them. However, when I look at them in broader ways—like adaptability, contextual reasoning, and social intelligence—they both excel far beyond my own capabilities. Oops... They help me. My wife? She is a lovely creature too. In Lao her original nickname is Kitchen. What the Prof. Dr. is trying to say to us is. I think, if a globally flying plane misses one tiny bolt then the entire plane can crash above Thailand. Luckily todays real planes unlike methodologies are not lifted by imagination but by Bernoulli’s Principle. -
From the perspective of the current global economic pecking order, it may not yet resemble a master plan—more like a quick money grab. I genuinely believe many will profit during its development phase, but casinos alone won’t reshape the existing global hierarchy. It reminds me of another similar business model: FIFA. Gianni Infantino will always come out on top. Strategically, much like casinos, it follows simple, inevitable computational outcomes—something investors appreciate. I’ve seen some rather strange yet deliberate ways of keeping social order in check—chief among them, underpaid workers. I know it’s complicated; we’re all just doing our best.

Both the Javan Mongoose (Herpestes javanicus) on the left and the Small Asian Mongoose (Herpestes urva) on the right, taken out of their local Isaan habitat and imagined in a world of fairy tales by means of todays AI. Can not confirm I saw them during the last three decades. No pineapple fields in my neighborhood.

\ Operating systems happen to change. Software running on these systems needs to be maintained. My crystal ball isn't perfect. Maintenance costs money. So, subscription models exist... I prefer buying perpetuals with life-long updates especially when the functionality depends upon unpredictable behavior of inaccessible third parties involved.
