Sri Racha Road Accident Kills Two Foreigners on Motorbike
Harsh Jones replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
They must have been going near highway speed and ran right into the back of the truck. -
Pattaya Man Beats Wife With a Metal Pipe and Later Apologizes
Harsh Jones replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
Should have smoked some marijuana or had some kratom tea instead. Alcohol is the worst -
Intoxicated Man in Pattaya Area Falls Off Balcony and Dies by Accident
Harsh Jones replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
People fall off balconies all the time. Do you think most of them are conspiracies or something ? I don't. Because I know how casual some ppl are around them. Chairs and tables around, kids climbing around on them. Im surprised more kids don't go down them. -
Intoxicated Man in Pattaya Area Falls Off Balcony and Dies by Accident

Im not buying that myth anymore. There was some builds from the 70's that were lower. But most of the railings since then are a pretty standard height. -
Intoxicated Man in Pattaya Area Falls Off Balcony and Dies by Accident
Harsh Jones replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Being scared of heights is a basic survival instinct. When I am drinking more than a couple beer, the balcony gets closed off. -
I am not sure if I fully understand. You mean the "no free will" view ?

I think if the atheists were right and everything was random, life would be a lot better. If we were all just playing the averages and everything was 50/50, life should be far less painful for the average person. It had to take divine intervention to make the human condition and all of its frailty this bad. The average persons life is pretty awful. And it will always be this way

Are you actually hungry ? Habit or need ?
Harsh Jones replied to The Cobra's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
There is basically no such thing as truth in a lot of intellectual endeavours. And the subject of diet is perhaps the best example. There is too many variables, its too complex and too many things are random. One guru says one thing, and the next guru says the opposite. One trend catches on. Then 5 years later, the next trend is almost the opposite of the previous one One guru says that fasting makes you gain weight because your body notices less intake so it decides it needs to store energy. Then the next guru says of course you need to eat less. Because excess calory intake simply means you are gaining weight. And then there is water retention. People working out and dieting aren't losing any fat because their body retains too much water. They actually end up losing more weight when they give up and have a big meal. Because the water goes away -

Indian Tourist Drowns in Pattaya Hotel Swimming Pool
Harsh Jones replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Yeah. There has been an update. And it still points to that imo Update https://talk.thethaiger.com/topic/25407-news-forum-indian-man-drowns-in-pattaya-pool-as-witnesses-mistake-struggle-for-play/ Initially, the woman and other onlookers believed that Kumar was joking around, as he had been diving and playing for some time. However, when he failed to resurface after about a minute, witnesses raised the alarm and called for security assistance. -
This is what is happening with most of these tourists on motorcycles in curves. They just don't get it. This guy cant even begin to get the bike to turn. He just rides it almost straight into the rail. This guy almost does the same thing. Speed is not relevant to these accidents. He is fighting the lean and can't get the bike to turn.

Indian Tourist Drowns in Pattaya Hotel Swimming Pool
Harsh Jones replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
More to this perhaps ? Usually in a drowning, the person panics and flails away until they go under. They don't sink like a rock without any struggle -
You must not have finished the video. It clearly shows him steering the wrong way in slow motion, then double slow motion. I posted 3 news clippings showing motorcycles crashing by themselves in curves. Not in intersections, not in corners. Curves. So you think all 3 of these riders, most likely had a good grasp of the concept of counter steering ?

3 different news clippings. I see a pattern... 1)Swede dies in motorbike crash just 5 days after meeting Thai girlfriend A 50-year-old Swedish national died immediately after his motorcycle overshot a curve in Roi Et’s Suwannaphum district on Saturday, just five days after he met his Thai girlfriend. 2)Motorbike crash kills Phuket man | Thaiger Mar 2, 2023 — This tragedy comes after another motorbike crash in Thailand killed a ... He had reportedly crashed his motorbike while navigating a curve. 3) https://www.thephuketnews.com/woman-...road-87553.php Mar 22, 2023 — Officers believe the motorbike was travelling at high speed when the driver lost control on the curve

I am from Vancouver. In 2008, a Vancouver Canucks hockey player was killed when his motorcycle somehow crossed the centerline and head on into a semi truck. He had his motorcycle licence for 2 weeks. Hmmm I wonder what happened... I have no idea... https://toronto.citynews.ca/2008/05/29/young-canuck-defenceman-killed-in-motorcycle-crash/

Of course it is intuitive. Nobody said it wasn't. If you think it is just a fluke that these accidents happen in curves, you'd be "completely" wrong. If you think riders wouldn't steer the wrong way into things you'd be "completely" wrong too. And since you dug your heels in already, you will just say this guy was going too fast.
