  1. The purpose of venting is to get the attic space as close to ambient temperature as possible. Most attic spaces in Thailand are sealed tight as a box, and hot as a sauna.


    Has anyone tried venting ( and insulation ), and what was the result?

     

    Thanks. 

  2. Maybe there’s some small leverage in US purchases from the Saudis and Russia, or the US doesn’t want to be too dependent on Canada as a source? Nah, it’s domestic politics.

     

    The US is a web of pipelines already. Unfortunately, Canada needs those refineries to process that heavy crude, there isn’t any in China ( yet ).

    They'd use the Euro, duh. And you’re right, there’s well over a dozen other countries who would love to join the EU. The EU can pick and choose while the UK falls apart.

    ...but the red tape means live shellfish is getting to market much later - and thus getting lower prices.

    I don't understand this bit.  If the shellfish are live, and transported in the correct conditions, then their quality should be the same - they are live, after all.


    Do you like day old bread? Do you pay as much for day old bread? Have you seen fish belly up in tanks at Makro? Do you get it? No?

  5. The jury is out. 

     

    “The protection rate for 1,394 participants who received doses of either CoronaVac or placebo three weeks apart was nearly 70%, a Sinovac spokesman said.”


    “Britain has also decided to allow a longer gap between doses of a COVID-19 vaccine from Pfizer and BioNTech, even though the companies say they only have efficacy data for a shorter period between shots.”

    Complete BS,

    In Thailand the foreigner defiance is completely due to potential financial gouging of foreigners by the authorities/medicos.

    I bet if you're tested positive, It'll be at least 100,000bht in expenses.

    If you're tested negative, It'll still be 5,000bht for the test.


    Fortunately you’re too old to serve as a super spreader. Just a short stint on a ventilator and your gone. Don’t worry about the bills.

    All I can say is, if at first you don't succeed to derail a campaign before an election you just open up your mouth and try again.  If this guy gets elected after all the shenanigans then maybe he himself isn't such an idiot and he plays the drama card to the end much like a Thai Lakorn.


    Or, in other words, never underestimate the stupidity of the American public. Voting for Trump twice is the epitome of stupidity. I’m betting 45 % of that population will cast Republican. They will be defined by this next election.
