Meanwhile, millions of us around the world, myself included, are already using fusion power for our home energy requirements. It's just that the energy source is 93 million miles away and the energy transfer system is a little inefficient.

Same era for me, hence my dino and Raquel reference ???? Released in 1966 ????

And, of course, the Bangkok TMD Radar site https://weather.tmd.go.th/bma_nck.php has been down for a week!

Yeah, that's what I remember, long, long ago.

Does Thailand even still have such an animal as an "exit visa"? I think there was once some form of "all taxes paid" paperwork but that was long, long ago.

They just don't make ads like this any longer, they were often better than the programmes! scontent.xx.fbcdn.netvt39.25447-2347602208_283755647325111_6.mp4

A ten year old kid dragging a dead frog on a string behind him walks into a brothel. He walks up to the madam, slaps a hundred dollar bill down on the table in front of her, and says, “I want a woman.” The madam says, “You're kind of young for this, aren't you?” The kid slaps down another hundred dollar bill and repeats, “I WANT A WOMAN “ The madam says, “OK, OK, have a seat and someone will be with you shortly.” He slaps down another hundred dollar bill. “I want a woman NOW.” The madam says, “Sure, I'll get someone right away.” The kid says, “One more thing: she has to have active herpes.” The madam says, “Are you nuts?” The kid slaps down another hundred dollar bill and says, “ACTIVE HERPES.” So a hooker comes out and the kid follows her back upstairs, still dragging the dead frog on a string behind him. Three minutes later he comes back out and the madam says, “I have to know what this is all about.” The kid says, “When I get home, I'm gonna have sex with the babysitter. Then, when my parents get back from their party, my dad will drive the babysitter home and they'll have sex along the way. When he gets back, he'll have sex with my mom, and tomorrow, when my dad goes to work, my mom will have sex with the mailman… AND HE'S THE BASTARD WHO RAN OVER MY FROG!”

When I was a kid, cartoons led me to think quicksand was much more common than what it is. What misconceptions did children's shows lead you to believe? Please add your own ???? There's a mail-order company called ACME from which you can purchase everything from a thermonuclear device to birdseed and that delivers to a roadside in the Sonoran Desert — no physical address required. It's not uncommon for a burrowing rabbit to become so entirely disoriented as to wind up miles from its intended destination (a phenomena commonly referred to as “Left Turn at Albuquerque" Syndrome). If a hunter fires a shotgun at a duck, its feathers will be singed and its bill will slip off center like a dislocated goalie mask; conversely, if the duck manages to turn the tables and shoot the hunter, his face will get powder burns and his trapper cap knocked askew — neither is ever seriously injured for more than a few frames. Leghorn roosters are patronizing and overly voluble. Striped skunks lack self-awareness and are sexually aggressive. Mice are prone to racial stereotype. That's All, Folks

One assumes someone is trying to make a connection with this.

Ever since I was a kid (there were wild dinosaurs and Raquel Welch) practical fusion power has always been "just 30 years away". If it really does work economically it's going to be a game changer.

"Green" hydrogen using solar power certainly works but the process is terribly inefficient, way too inefficient to use for personal vehicles (it's better just to use the electricity directly via storage batteries). But for applications where weight and fast refuelling is important such as aircraft or long-distance transport there's certainly an application. Where we go is going to be an interesting ride.

Impractical of course as the conversion process is incredibly energy inefficient. But it does demonstrate the process of making hydrogen from water and then using it as an energy-storage medium. Educational, not practical.

@Mickboy I hope you realise you are replying to a 13 year old thread ????

Does this mean I won't be starting "The Bangkok River Level Thread 2023"? Or maybe I will, but posting about low levels.

Ah yes, "all a misunderstanding" what a surprise

It's a 2004 Ford Ranger, 4-door, 4x4.

Bingo! Give the man a prize!

Do you have an actual product name I can search for please? The Febreze pet odour eliminator seems to have done the trick but a backup plan is always handy ????

Reminded me of this https://www.police1.com/international/articles/officer-criticized-for-writing-police-report-on-behalf-of-k-9-u0ZAlT9NyKXP08Su/

Definitely not! You would be an idiot if you plugged an appliance that said 110V on the rating plate into a 220V outlet! I would still be verifying that you really do have a "universal" power supply in there. Best to be safe ???? Long ago (about 25 years) a mate in Italy bought a Sony printer on Ebay from a seller in the US. He assumed that, being a Japanese brand, it would have a universal power supply. Luckily, we checked, it didn't! Worked just fine with a cheap transformer of course.
