Every Central in Thailand that I've been to had dedicated big bike parking. Ask the parking attendents for the directions, sometimes it's not easy to spot.

It's a private estate and it's not a court warrant. I don't think they had a legal basis to arrest the security guards for not letting them in. They could have handed the summons to them especially when the suspect was not at home. So what, the police officers really really wanted to go and put it in the mail box or what? The officers also know well where the suspect works. Could have handed it to him in his office. Doesn't smell right.

Having read that... seems like the Germans are not the only ones 🙂

Say no more! Those are exactly the conditions I am looking for in a place when thinking about moving.

i hang around Thais and motorbikes a lot. Never heard them call a bike like this a chopper.

It ain't a chopper unless it's chopped. The bike in the OP is a bog standard production bike in cruiser style, nothing chopped about it.

Looks like a Honda Rebel 300 to me. That's not a chopper.

Storing that stuff for a decade must have cost a multiple of the value of the rice. The scheme generating losses for the government? You bet. And yet they are talking about "profits" from selling the rice. There ain't no profits other than for the warehouse operators.

Says the guy watching others travel on Youtube and posting all day on some online forum.

Thanks for the information Sheryl!

Interesting that Trang was the closest option for treatment. That means they couldn't have done it either in Surat Thani nor Nakhon Si Thammarat. Phuket would have been also the same distance. Also interesting that it was an army helicopter. Do hospitals in Thailand not have their own holicopters? I am not critizing btw, it seems to make sense to share this resource that is not frequently used.

The truck filled up at a pump which needs electricity. Those charming hand operated pumps disappeared from my area.

May I introduce you to this electric John Deere tractor? I guess they did find space for the batteries. Surprise surprise it's where all the big diesel engine was.

Yea I use more electricity via my aircons than the average EV usage. All these EV doomers are a joke.

Just wait until you learn that the gasoline pumps require electricity.

Just means you don't have any competent workshops for that model in your area. There are plenty of workshops in Thailand which have the tools and knowledge to get into the ECUs of many car models. Especially for tuning purposes but if they can do that then they usually can do anything service related as well. Maybe just no-one bothers with that Nissan model. My car is a Honda and they have shops that can do anything with it even flashing different fuel maps if I wanted to. Same with my motorbikes. Just had my Ducati at a shop which has the tools to access it all. Clear error codes, service indicator etc. Anyways it's really not Thailand or EV specific.

What does that have to do with Thailand and why is it a ripoff? That's been standard practice for many years now world-wide. It takes a while but eventually independent workshops also get access in most cases.

I have good news for you! Just click through the study and you will get the names of all the researchers. With these you can also look at their research history in arxiv. But wait! It get's better! They even disclose who paid them and who financed the research! Fantastic, I know!

Wow he even hired a nurse to walk with him for PR. It's like a Thai soap opera but in real life!

Thanks for the compliments. A friendly reminder from my sofa: the topic is where we might find aliens.

Why do you think the ramp would collapse in on itself? Have you ever seen a ramp from sand/earth that did that? It doesn't. The amount is nothing crazy, 2-3x the volume of the pyramids themselves? If they can source *stone* on that volume than sourcing sand and earth in that volume is trivial. Nope. See above. Put it back from where they took it in the vicinity? Why do you think it's so much more difficult? That's not true. The purpose was to show off power, some used them as tombs and they also had religous significance. They really are not that mysterious. The guys had the power, knowledge, resources and were crazy enough to build these. Nothing to do with aliens, that's for sure.

Sounds a bit ridicolous to me that the egyptians used sound. How would they even have generated the necessary power which is a multiple of the energy needed to just mechanically lift the stones? And if they had such advanced tech then why is there no evidence of it and why did it disappear (as you mentioned)? Just crackpottery imho. The most reasonable explanation that I've seen is that they just put sand/earth as ramps and then pull the stones over something that enables them to roll. After they are in place they can remove the sand/earth and just the pyramid remains. Requires no tech and is just a lot of manual labor. And slave labor they had aplenty.

Hmm yea I'd have assumed that without engines and therefore power they wont be able to control anything but I'm sure they'll manage to fire them somehow anyways. 🙂

Well, I guess nobody can blame them anymore for just costing money and not being engaged in active combat. Though maybe it's indeed better if the submarines remain without engines.

You can't use that for interstellar travel. The reason why it can keep the balls from falling down is because the device itself is standing on the ground. It just keeps the balls locked to its own position by creating pockes of low and high pressures in the air.
