"Future food?" Does he mean bugs?

Yes I think so  Thailand is already quite excepting about eating the bugs and is in a good position for mass production of the critters.

I suppose algae production would be viable too with the massive sunlight available....lab grown meat perhaps limited to the huge conglomerates.

None of which (except algae) I would touch with a barge pole.

the only way is for the Palestinians to give over to Israel ALL of the hammas criminals

Only way is for Palestinian

acquiescence to Isreal's demands?

Maybe If Isreal also hands over it's war criminals  to an independent third party for fair prosecution there might be a chance of a deal.

I do break with left foot so it's not bored too much.

Don't try without exercise first 😊

Yes first time I drive my auto  I was trying to use 2 feet  constantly stamping on the brake pedal  quickly gave up and went to right foot for everything mode.

Standard auto's have at least three choices (D/S/L) that can smoothly be selected without any clutch pressing.

I only ever use D and R  mind you there are not many hills or winding mountain roads around the Pattaya/Jomtien area.

I did a couple of tours around Thailand  firstly in 2001 

Ford Laser bought in Bangkok  drove all the way to Phucket then up to Chaingmai  and then back down to Pattaya

one highlight being the front left wheel was almost ripped off  after hitting a pot hole on the way to Chaingmai at 3AM and having to drive extremely slowly for about 75 Kilometres to reach a garage in Chaingmai to fix it.

Then a couple of other times in Pickup trucks up to northern Thailand  all manual..I'm too old for (this s**t) those long drives now 😢  even if someone else is driving (bus or coach) can't take sitting for hours on end.

My American friend  has told me it is possible to bump start an auto

but it needs pushing/pulling faster than any human could do it,I have never seen it done and won't try it with my car.

Is that humans have increased atmospheric CO2 from 280 to 420 ppm?

Have humans done that by breathing in and out ? or burning

"fossil fuels" leading to a vast overall increase in world wide prosperity.

Whatever the case it is a miniscule % increase in the atmospheric mix,

is the "final solution" the elimination of those breathing in and out producing the deadly C02 ???

I hope they have all learnt from it. 

Unfortunately it seems they have not learnt anything at all,those who implemented them suggest the reason the measures didn't work is because they where implemented to late and too laxly   ie the next time they want full on China style welding people in their homes, quarantine camps as seen in Thailand and Australia  total surveillance and control a dystopian nightmare for most but the

"Covidain authoritarians"  best wet dream.

where are these people going, where have they been? Just a never ending flow of traffic.

For the most part it seems to me they drive from Bangkok to visit the

airconditioned shopping malls,with a brief look at the beach at sundown then drive back to Bangkok again.

to get us (the sheeple) to stop using cash and do what we're told and own nothing

If you fall for the Central Bank Digital Currency  then indeed you will own nothing and I'm sure the vast  majority won't be happy at all ...living in 15 minute pods,carbon tax for vehicle use,every movement and purchase tracked meat and dairy highly restricted due to "climate emergency" eat the bugs they are environmentaly friendly !

Dystopian nightmare.

I thought I read somewhere the whole COVID thing was an elaborate hoax to get us (the sheeple) to stop using cash and do what we're told and own nothing. Isn't that what the Great Reset, Bill Gates, the WEF and all the other conspirators want? What happened to that theory, and where did the theorists go?

Still around even after the

de-platforming, debanking,

censoring,ridicule,shadow banning,

character smearing

and lawfare.

The truth will always emerge eventually.

actually does the USA recognise the ICC

No they are total hypocrites as usual trying to hold other countries to ICC "justice"  whilst excluding themself  even to the extent of having a statute saying that they can invade the Haque and repatriate any American that may wind up there.

I don't know what else he may have in his bag of tricks to annoy parliament with

There needs to be many more independently minded MP's

shaking things up in parliament.

I think/hope perhaps people are beginning to see that there is very little difference between the policies of the 2 parties that always win

always more tax, more bureaucracy, more convoluted laws, hypocrisy

more censorship and less overall freedoms. 

Brexit the Covid debacles (especially),Ukraine,climate change alarmism and now Gaza/Israel have brought that into sharp contrast  at least for me.

Are there perhaps some novel MRNA therapeutics that can restore the lost IQ points  ?

smart TV ? 32" from a from around 2k baht

 a 32inch smart tv for 2000baht  can you please point me in the direction of this bargain.

I believe that @scottiejohn has a TV with built in digital tuner he just needs a suitable old school antenna pointing at the strongest signal

to receive the free to air Thai digital DVB-T2 signals in all their glory

some are HD and some have dual soundtracks

(often original soundtrack so a Holywood film is in English  but a Chinese film would be in Chinese etc) 

some stations have subtitles but I found then to be miniscule on screen maybe my setup.

I have not found any radio stations again my be my setup 

I'd be interested to know if someone can get radio.

ccording to this table, Army CH 7 transmits on E7, which is about 174 MHz (high VHF). Note that if this info is correct,

I think that info may have been correct back in the 1990's

now they use the 500-800-ish MHZ range.

power level,frequencies and compass pointing for all the Thai TV transmitters.

It works but buffering like heck from multiple TV sources for certain channels and other channels OK..

May help if you name the channels you are interested in/have trouble with.

I regularly watch NHK world direct from Japan  NASA tv from US and Red Bull tv from god knows where with my NT fibre each of them has good and bad days and worst day none are watchable, there are just to many variables in the streaming chain to know where the fault actually lies.

That's why I have an extensive collection of TV shows and Movies on my NAS server + a satellite dish and regular old school tv antenna 😋
