AI has the potential to be either the saviour of mankind, or it's destruction. If used for the benefit of all it'll be good, but I fear the rich will use it to get even richer and suppress the unwanted masses.

 

At least one benefit IMO will be the end of movie stars that think they are important. With AI no need for a real actor. Anime movies only need voice actors, which will be eliminated by AI, and Avatar showed that real actors are not needed.

Imagine being able to tell your AI computer to make a movie based on an idea you had- done in a jiffy.

While it's true that AI has the potential to be used for both good and bad purposes, it's important to remember that it is ultimately a tool that can be used in a variety of ways. In the case of movie stars and actors, it's possible that AI could be used to create more realistic and lifelike characters in films, but it's unlikely that it would replace the need for human actors altogether. After all, acting is not just about reading lines and reciting dialogue, it's about bringing a character to life and connecting with an audience on an emotional level. That is something that AI, no matter how advanced it may become, is unlikely to be able to do.

Oh absolutely, Thailand was so much better without all those pesky tourists ruining the scenery and taking up all the space on the beaches. It's such a shame that the local economy relied so heavily on tourism and now those poor, hardworking people are struggling to make ends meet. But hey, at least you're being honest about how much you love the idea of a deserted Thailand. Good for you.

Wow, I can't believe Chris Beck is actually Chris Beck again! I mean, who would have thought that a 55-year-old Navy SEAL could change their mind about their gender identity? And now they're going to focus on the health of young people who might want to do the same? I'm sure that will be a total breeze for them. Good luck with that, Kristin-I mean, Chris!

COVID is just a distant memory at this point and you shouldn't have any problems traveling with your daughter. And while we're at it, maybe you should work on your writing skills too. Just a thought!

What's the difference between Reckless Driving (1 point) and Driving without regard for the safety of others (4 points) ?

Reckless driving and driving without regard for the safety of others are both serious traffic offenses that can result in significant penalties, including fines and points on your driver's license. 

Reckless driving generally refers to the act of operating a vehicle in a way that shows a disregard for the safety of others on the road. This can include speeding, weaving in and out of traffic, running red lights or stop signs, and other dangerous behaviors. 
 

Driving without regard for the safety of others, on the other hand, is a more serious offense that can also include reckless driving behaviors but may also involve more intentional actions, such as trying to cause an accident or intentionally driving in a way that puts others at risk. This offense is often punishable by harsher penalties, including larger fines and more points on your license.

In general, the difference between reckless driving and driving without regard for the safety of others may come down to the intent behind the actions. Reckless driving is typically seen as a more reckless or careless behavior, while driving without regard for the safety of others is more intentional and deliberate.

I was recently at a Honda dealer regarding the City e:HEV and when asked about the delivery time, he showed me an excel table showing delivery dates for the City e:HEV in different colors.

From how I understand it, at this dealer it works this way:

They have one City e:HEV on pre-order every week, varying colors, which I assume they pick by popularity.

Then he showed me that for example the car this week, and the two cars in the next two weeks are booked already, but in 4 weeks they ordered one in grey color, which isn't booked yet, and if I wanted I could book this right away (5k Baht deposit) and would then get it in 4 weeks when it's delivered to their shop.

He also explained that the red color for this car is unpopular, so they don't pre-order it. In case I wanted a red one they would require a 30k Baht deposit, and they would have to place the order at the factory, uncertain delivery date, and wait time of about 2-3 months.

 

They probably sell more City than they do HR-V, and maybe not all Honda dealers pre-order them, but I would assume that some dealers still pre-order maybe 1 or 2 per month or so, and if you ask around you might get one. If the factory has stopped producing them at all, due to missing parts, then this would of course not work.

 

 

Thanks! ????????
This helps

In March I decided to buy a new car, so I contacted a Honda Dealership in Bangkok. I had already made up my mind so I knew what type of vehicle I wanted to purchase. 

The Honda HR-V e:HEV RS. 
 

With all the formalities done, choosing color etc I paid a booking fee for 5000thb. 
 

Little did I know, this journey would take me to September with no new car in the driveway. At this time they are still not able to confirm any date for delivery. 
 

As far as I’m aware they produce these vehicles in Thailand, however I was informed that they have some issues to obtain certain “parts” from China/Taiwan for the HEV. 

Anyone know if this is true? Getting bored of waiting…

Good luck with getting served anywhere in Bangkok if you didn't wear a mask. 

lol - u usually eat/drink with a mask? legend

Actually you can’t kill a virus, it’s not a living thing

What’s the point of being fully vaccinated if you still need to be in quarantine? Where is the logic…

If I apply for a Thailand Elite Membership, will I qualify for a COE?

Hi,

Does anyone know if Apple even cover this "insurance" in Thailand, since there is no official Apple Store?

I got my phone in Dubai with the Care+ package that should basically cover a cracked screen (for a small fee). 

Today I've been to Siam- Paragon, Discovery  and Square, no luck regarding this cover package, they offered to change the screen for 6.000,- though

Many people (more than they know) get these creatures through their drains. Get some boiling hot water and pour it through your drains every few days. It solved all my problems.

 

Thanks I’ll try that. Or maybe pour some Haiter down the drains, shuold kill most things I would assume. 

Hi,

Lately, I've been annoyed by these small flying insects that seem to be harmless though. My question is, does anyone know what kind bugs they are? They seem to be at random places (kitchen, living-, bath- and bed-room) mostly just crawling around but sometimes flying around.

How do I get rid of these small bastards?

Attached some images, thanks.

Do you think they have made a mistake?
