    During a special event marking the Nation's 55th anniversary at the Eastin Grand Hotel Phayathai in Bangkok, Thaksin suggested that the petition filed by 36 senators against Paetongtarn is intricately linked to accusations of vote-rigging in last year's Senate election. He posited that the senators, facing serious allegations themselves, are using this manoeuvre to escape accountability.

    Jing jing, mai gohok!

    Often the chargers will work for dual voltage these days but I suggest only plugging it in if the label on the charger itself confirms it works with both 120/220 volts.

    I made this mistake myself once with something I ordered from the US - I did have an inverter but forgot to use it and the damn thing blew up immediately

    Inverter? Do you mean 'transformer'?

  3. At some point in the future the natural gas supply out of Burma by pipeline feeding the electricity generating plant in Ratchaburi Province will expire. That plant is a significant contributor to Thailand's grid. The NG supply from the Gulf of Thailand exploited since 1970 is finite. Fossil fuel imports too are unreliable.

     

    Wind, solar and other forms of generation can be regarded as contributors to the grid but not main suppliers.

     

    The inevitable increase in demands of EVs alone has to be met and Thailand has no option but to consider alternative practical sources of generation one of which is the SMR.

     

    Just my thoughts.

    Idiot used to be an accepted clinical diagnosis not that long ago.

     

    Idiots. —Those so defective that the mental development never exceeds that or a normal child of about two years.
     

    Imbeciles. —Those whose development is higher than that of an idiot, but whose intelligence does not exceed that of a normal child of about seven years.
     

    Morons. —Those whose mental development is above that of an imbecile, but does not exceed that of a normal child of about twelve years.


    — Edmund Burke Huey, Backward and Feeble-Minded Children, 1912

     

    Yes. Those epithets are commonly used today on AN but in a different context.😀

     

    I was trying to understand how the doctor signing the certificate could assess the mental capacity of a 15 month old infant other than through discussion with one of the carers.
