And now for something completely different...

As John Whithead points out in the audio above, AI is being financed by very rich, and very evil characters with control and eugenics as the goal: Not altruism. ???? Get ready for what's coming.

Mine are on their way un-registered Royal Mail. Registered means, There's Money Inside! Royal Mail sorting is haphazard at the best of times, I had a clearly addressed letter delivered here that had been reirected via Botswana!

Indeed, especially with the advance of AI... Notice the comment that even google executives have resigned because of the evil of "Singularity" in 2029. It's "omniscience" caused them to comment in disgust, "We've created god!" ...and walk away from Google.

Rechargable batteries and cooking outside on a fire, makes it easy to stay under 30 units a month: Give it a try: Burn your TV first ????

If you are frugal enough to stay below 50 units per month, your electricity bill is zero. many people really appreciate this kindness ????

Interesting, though somewhat naïve reasoning, that I suspect will be severely challenged by what you discover when you steel your resolve to actually go, and look at your local water "purifying" set up, then ask to see their regular laboratory reports. ???? Others are encouraged to do the same, and post snaps in this thread for us all to see.

There's actually more tectonic movement in the North. A quake centered in Tachilek, woke me from my slumbers in Chiang Rai! Time for another survey methinks ???? https://www.volcanodiscovery.com/place/2120/earthquakes/tachilek.html

Thank you for the picture of your water-truck, I see them daily ???? The tessabahn can deliver like that, but most people collect their own flagons because they are out at work, not at home, so collect when convenient to them. With respect, I'd find little comfort in observing a truck with a sign assuring its water is purified by reverse osmosis, unless it is regularly laboratory toxicity tested, and the results posted for all to see. Could you pay a visit to your water supplier, and take a picture of the lab results for us?

Indeed, add to that the multiple recent earth tremors in Thailand and Burma, and see what that does to idealized thoughts of sealed aquafers and "uncontaminated" water. Perhaps you could post an image of the report, it would be of great interest ????

Make your own it's not difficult. Reinforce each step with a coat hanget twisted tight, and check each step as your ascend gingerly. I've made several over the years, and they last well if you keep them dry, and stored off the ground. Put some rubber under the feet if you use it to climb into the attic.

If that were the case, they'd be happy to display the results, in order to prove their product is non-toxic, but have you seen a single lab test of your drinking water: Good or bad? Me neither. That's why I bought 3 kg of activated charcoal ???? My local tessabahn produces drinking water that only uses backpressure filtering, no reverse osmosis at all. And that from an aquafer replete with toxins from agrochemicals. It was a very deep drilling, I watched it first-hand, but it's smack in the middle of maize and paddy fields deluged with pesticides monthly. I suggest you visit your drinking water supplier, and check with your own eyes; their purification system, and their laboratory analysis reports. You may be surprised, like I was. ????

We've been using rain water to drink for the rainy season, curious how it would fair in a geiger counter test post-fukishima. Carting 20 litre flagons of water from the local tessabahn is a bit of a chore, so this cool season I briefly considered using our locally piped water from the village water supply. Our well water dried up two years ago, and most of the village is now on piped water. I inspected the village water system, which is pumped from an aquifer, and merely for washing (not potable) and immediately ruled out using it for making drinking water. 1) The whole site pongs of raw sewage. 2) The concrete settling tank is crumbling, algae covered, and leaks. 3) The primary filters are rotten, and covered in clay deposits. 4) The village water table is heavily polluted with agrochemicals. The above reverse osmosis and filtering systems would, remove most of the crud, but would soon become clogged and need replacing, but I suspect only the expensive reverse osmosis types would tackle the carcinogens in the agrochemical-laced piped water. Our local tessabahn drinking water supply uses man-sized, basic three-stage filtering, with final high-pressure six inch square filters (It looks like a knee-high pressure cooker.) But there's no laboratory reports on the water quality before and after processing! By which it is safe to assume most of the agrochemicals in the ground water will still be in the 20 litre plastic flagons... and our cups of tea. Consequently, I've settled on pouring the tessabahn flagons into a container loaded with 3kg of activated charcoal (contained in six carefully positioned Einstein tubes) and letting it soak for at least 24 hours before drinking it. The charcoal is pre-washed, and only a little black comes through, which could be removed with a coffee filter paper. A consumer tip I picked up from a hilltribe friend was to add a squirt of lime, or lemon, juice to your daily drinking water to help dissolve away kidney and bladder stones gradually forming in one's urinogenital system. Ascorbic acid would serve the same purpose. I'd be interested to know if your village water has ever been properly analysed. The general rule here seems to be if it's wet it's okay.

Not my wall ???? that's the Pet Hotel where they are being kept until we find a good home for them. Can anybody help please?

Mee...owww...

We learn a lot from cats; "Lily" ceased lactating when she was speyed recently, but a dry milk-bar doesn't stop the kitties suckling her, which she tolerates with patience and grace. The feline ginger-gene is a magnificent creation.

Thank you OneZero, very kind of you to offer, but the "other half" of the expense for neutering the 3 kittens is already provided for ???? I want the new owner to pay half, so that they feel they have a personal investement in them, otherwise I find they have an easy-come-easy-go attitude, which is detrimental to the rescued cats. You can help by getting this thread eyeballed. I don't do any Social Media, so if you do, kindly post links to it, and emphasise ALL the expense of neutering and vaccinating is already taken care of, and they must go as a family to a kind loving home. "Lily" was neutered two weeks ago, I have a photo of her excised uterus and ovaries if you'd like to see ???? Here's a picture I took today 4th October 2022 of one of the Ginger kittens looking super-cute, and a tad pensive at what "Miss Cheevers" is up to now!

Thomas Hardy readers will recall the public shame and outrage that befell the Mayor of Casterbridge for splitting apart his family... so we'd prefer this cat-family to stay together... and "Lilly" agrees.) We will take care of their second Feline Enteritis vaccinations, which are due soon. I'll also contribute half the cost of having the three kittens neutered when they have grown big enough. Can you suggest names for the little Kitties? Being of the "Carry On" film generation, I'm rather fond of "Miss Cheevers" for the impish grey female. Here she is, bushy-tailed, intimidating both ginger males at once!

A kitty plea...

Spread the word about "Lily" and her family please, she's delightful. Five cats in a condo! You'll have to get a biigger home soon, you can't have too much kitten-love ???? My seven grown strays really touch my heart daily, because rain-or-shine when I cycle home, they come in turn to greet me at my front-gate. I pat their chests in response, and that sound brings the rest runnig for a pat too. "Lovely" (pictured climbing a Tamarind tree) was found unable to walk outside a CR supermarket, she'd had her pelvis crushed by a motorbike. So to now see her running to greet me is a great blessing. Well worth the time invested in nursing her back to health.

Lily's unamed Kitty received her first vaccination this week. You can identify with Kitty's expression I'm sure.
