German Politician Calls for Ban on Greta Thunberg Over Pro-Palestinian Protest Involvement
I think walking all that way would have emitted quite a bit more C02 than had she stayed relaxing at home. 8 billion persons breathing in and out 24/7 how to reduce those carbon emissions ????

It kinda seems obvious that non citizens should not be on the voter register let alone be allowed to vote !

How much negotiation on new bikes?
There is not much negotiation you either take their offer or not they (mostly) don't give discounts for cash as they make much more profit from the finance options offered to Thais, they may throw in a crappy helmet and jacket if you are lucky and depending if its a BMW or Ducati 😋 If you want a good discount then look towards privately sold second hand or even second hand "finance returns" at the dealership they often have low mileage and a bit of a discount.

Why Are You Even Here? The Surprising Attitudes of Some Expats in Thailand
Ha ha,I kind of agree and disagree at the same time...yes many need hand holding..but don't really see a problem with that, they are trying to intergrate in an alien environment via "proxy wife"..the language barrier can be huge..dealing with Thai bureaucracy is a challenge for everyone,should they try harder to navigate the intricacies themselves ? probably. Do I blame them for not wanting to and delegating to someone else...mostly no.

Solar panels to charge EV directly?
I don't think you should believe that 😋 or perhaps you should buy one and then test how many Watts it really delivers.

Using air conditioning and humidifiers together
No that is a cooler setting. 25 degrees C is cooler than 27 degrees C

Using air conditioning and humidifiers together
How low do you like your humidity ? 70% ++ is quite "normal" for Thailand.

UK visa invitation letter proof of finances
I'm stuck at the upload stage..why on earth have they divided it into separate categories what goes where ? I'll probably just pay the 600 baht and have them do it at the application centre. Also the website does not like addblockers or refusal of cookies I had to turn off all defences on my router and PC just to get to the appointments page or got thrown out unceremoniously with this very misleading banner !!!! I tried for 2 days but eventually it dawned on me that it was probably not under maintenance

Using air conditioning and humidifiers together
Ion cleaning ? perhaps it's ozone causing or exacerbating the dry throat...? might be useful to buy a hydrometer (cheap ) to gauge how humid the air is, below 40% humidity most people start to suffer the symptoms you describe 50-60% humidity would be more comfortable on throat but still feeling cool on the skin. As suggested above check that the auto mode doesn't include a bit of "drying" too.

How do you feel about this?
I think "you think too mutt" yes its silly but the "inspection" is cursory...they also don't pack goods into bags, you have to show membership card ,they won't except many debit credit cards...after all they are supposed to be a wholesale outlet for business customers not retail for the everyday walk in from the street "pleb"

Using air conditioning and humidifiers together
What temperature are you setting the aircon to ? try 27-28 degrees and a fan if its still too warm.

Why is the MAGA movement so susceptible to crazy conspiracy theories?
I can niether confirm or deny both of those questions/theories/accusations. However (later after considerable pressure to actually answer a simple question) I doubt the first and highly suspect the second.

Thailand's Cashless Leap: Ahead of the Asean Pack by 2028
It's quite alarming that people don't seem to understand the very real and dangerous consequences CBDC's would/will have on their life in all aspects, it means total control and monitoring the digital Panopticon of which there can be no escape. They all agree "it's so easy"
