Weird. It looks like murderers do get sentences of significant jail time unlike what loudmouth Salesliar claims. 😃

$100 Billion $10 Billion $6.6 Billion $4 Billion Sure, Jan. If you say must be true. Remember, this is the Salesliar who says he won the youth vote by "32 points". No, wait. He then said "34 points". How much did Trump win the youth vote by? Trump lost the youth vote by 11 points. When are you people going to learn Trump is just a loudmouth liar? 😭 In October 2024, OpenAI completed a $6.6 billion funding round, valuing the company at $157 billion. Additionally, as of September 2024, OpenAI's annual recurring revenue was estimated at $4 billion, reflecting a 248% year-over-year growth.

Straight out of Oakland, California? Where this happens all the time. 😲

Ahh. In that case sounds like Thailand doesn't care how much tax I paid in America. Pay tax in America for 2024 income. Pay tax in Thailand for 2024 income. In 2026, file for credit for tax paid in Thailand for 2024. Presumably, Thailand will transfer that money to the US Treasury. Whatever. Thanks for the heads up. 👍

Not true. There's several alternatives including nuclear all about the same cost, different efficiencies, different environmental effects. I'm sure you'd prefer a nuclear plant in your backyard 😺 The least expensive way to store energy for an electrical grid depends on the available resources, geographic conditions, and the scale of the system. However, some of the most cost-effective methods include: 1. Pumped Hydro Storage How it works: Water is pumped from a lower reservoir to a higher one during periods of low electricity demand and released to generate electricity during high demand. Cost: Typically $50–$100 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for installation. Advantages: Long lifespan (50–100 years), high efficiency (~70–85%), and low operating costs. Limitations: Requires suitable geography with elevation differences and access to water. 2. Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) How it works: Air is compressed and stored in underground caverns or tanks during low-demand periods. When needed, the air is released to drive turbines and generate electricity. Cost: Around $50–$150 per kWh. Advantages: Large-scale storage, long lifespan, and relatively low upfront costs. Limitations: Limited by geology and moderate efficiency (~40–70%). 3. Battery Storage (Lithium-Ion) How it works: Lithium-ion batteries store energy chemically and release it when needed. Cost: Prices have fallen to about $100–$200 per kWh, with ongoing reductions expected. Advantages: Flexible installation, scalable, and widely deployable. Limitations: Limited lifespan (~10–15 years), environmental concerns with materials, and less economical for long-duration storage. 4. Gravity-Based Storage How it works: Lifts heavy objects (e.g., blocks or railcars) to store energy as potential energy, which is later released to generate electricity. Cost: Estimated $50–$100 per kWh. Advantages: Simple mechanics, long lifespan, and no specific geological requirements. Limitations: Still emerging, with fewer large-scale deployments. 5. Thermal Energy Storage How it works: Excess electricity is used to heat materials like molten salt or water, which can later be converted back into electricity. Cost: Can be as low as $30–$60 per kWh. Advantages: Simple, inexpensive, and good for pairing with solar power. Limitations: Lower efficiency (~40–60%) and specific applications. 6. Flywheels How it works: Rotational energy is stored in a spinning rotor and converted back into electricity when needed. Cost: Typically $500–$1,000 per kWh (higher upfront costs but low lifecycle costs). Advantages: Extremely fast response times and high cycle life. Limitations: Better suited for short-term energy storage. Key Considerations: Economies of Scale: Larger installations often reduce per-unit costs. Duration of Storage Needs: Batteries are better for short-term storage, while pumped hydro or CAES is better for long-term storage. Geographic Feasibility: Technologies like pumped hydro and CAES depend on suitable locations. Pumped hydro remains the cheapest and most widely deployed large-scale storage solution where geography permits. However, advancements in battery technology are rapidly closing the gap. The cost of electricity from a brand-new nuclear power plant is typically expressed as the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE), which includes construction, operation, maintenance, fuel, and decommissioning over the plant's lifetime. LCOE for Nuclear Power For new nuclear power plants, the LCOE is estimated to range between $50 and $110 per megawatt-hour (MWh), or 5 to 11 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh). Cost Breakdown 1. Construction Costs: The biggest contributor, often accounting for 60–80% of the total cost. New nuclear plants typically cost between $6,000 and $10,000 per kilowatt (kW) of installed capacity. For a 1,000 MW plant, this equates to $6–10 billion. 2. Fuel Costs: Relatively low, about 0.7 to 1 cent per kWh. Uranium is cost-effective due to its high energy density. 3. Operation and Maintenance: Includes labor, regulatory compliance, and routine maintenance. Typically adds 1 to 2 cents per kWh. 4. Decommissioning Costs: Accounts for safely dismantling the plant at the end of its life (40–60 years). Spread over the plant’s lifetime, it contributes a small fraction of the cost (less than 0.5 cents per kWh). 5. Financing Costs: Interest rates and the duration of construction impact costs significantly, as nuclear plants often take 5–10 years to build. Higher financing costs can increase the LCOE by several cents per kWh. Comparison with Other Energy Sources (Approximate LCOE): Natural Gas: $40–$80/MWh (4–8 cents/kWh) Solar PV: $30–$60/MWh (3–6 cents/kWh) Wind: $20–$50/MWh (2–5 cents/kWh) Coal: $50–$120/MWh (5–12 cents/kWh) Key Factors Impacting Nuclear Costs: 1. Regulatory Delays: Lengthy permitting and safety requirements can increase costs. 2. Economies of Scale: Larger plants or multiple builds reduce costs per unit. 3. Geography: Labor and construction costs vary by region. 4. Technology: Advanced reactor designs (e.g., Small Modular Reactors) may lower costs in the future. In summary, nuclear power has higher upfront costs but provides stable, reliable, and low-carbon electricity, making it competitive in the long run despite a relatively high LCOE compared to some renewables.

Not my experience. The ingredients for Healthy Farang food costs more than a 50B bowl of noodles with some murky soup containing who knows what. It's only "very low cost" if you use local Thai ingredients only or you're comparing it to Farang Restaurants.

When I told everyone here I knew someone in America who lived on 100B/day in America and wasn't on welfare... They didn't believe me. Got free food from a food bank, grew weed, traded it for firewood and money for coffee and dog food. Was it "comfortable"? If you're a bum, sure. If you're used to a higher standard of living, no. All depends on your comfort zone. Were your parents homeless and you grew up sleeping in a car? In that case, a 1500B/month Thai style apartment is going to seem quite luxurious to you. 😳

Donnie hates "windmills" for some strange reason. Probably for the same reason the CEO of Exxon Mobil hates fracking rigs. When he can see them from his home. Me, Me, Me. ExxonMobil CEO Sues to Stop Fracking-Related Project Near His House Rich people love unspoiled views. ✅

If only there was some way to store excess energy when it's windy and use it later when it's not. 🔋

US judge temporarily blocks Trump's order to change birthright citizenship They're never going to build a swimming pool. That's just something that the Timeshare Condominium salesman said to get you to sign the contract. 😂

Went to Bangkok Bank today. Paid 200B. In a couple of weeks, they'll have a "statement" ready showing the total of my deposits ("income") that I will need for filing my Thai taxes. Life is good so far. 👍

Is this guy a Mormon? 😜

What are you putting in your lungs?

Every pack of cigarettes sold should include a firefighting fee... Because you guys don't give a <deleted> about anything except yourselves. 😘

I recommend finding a clinic that does blood tests. No wait and very cheap. I get an annual stool test at a clinic. 150B. The fecal immunochemical test (FIT) is used as a screening test for colon cancer.

Does Phuket look like a place for Elephants? Or Russians. 😃

Of course! Why else would you go to Patong. Nigerian-Mexican Cartel Talking Parrot 🦜 Powder.

Common sense? That's what they say, but not what they do. Turning politics into entertainment is what they do. Entertainment isn't about common sense. It's about illusion. Shouldn't Musk be tying little grandmothers to railroad tracks and stealing their social security money out of their pocketbooks? How on earth does he have time to run all those companies, slash TRILLIONS!!!1!1! from America's annual budget and do ketamine and <deleted> tweet Nazi jokes. Oh. Wait. Maybe he is a Nazi. Suckers.🫠 Don’t say Hess to Nazi accusations! Some people will Goebbels anything down! Stop Gőring your enemies! His pronouns would’ve been He/Himmler!

Hard to believe that a man who eats fast food and flys all around the world at his age is going to live much longer. But Delusion is a hell of a drug. My Republican Father lived into his 90s thinking he knew more than Doctors did. Finally caught up with him when he refused to take their advice and get dialysis for his failing kidney. He told them they were wrong. Guess what? He died of kidney failure. 🙄

Previously dubbed "MAGA Granny" by the media, Hemphill has since distanced herself from Trump and the “Stop the Steal” movement, describing her participation as part of a cult-like mindset. A therapist helped her realize that her involvement was voluntary and that she had lost her ability to think critically. Trouble is the MAGA cult doesn't care about "thinking". All cults say thinking is "bad". Just believe whatever we tell you. That's all you need to "know". What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is. 😋 --Dan Quayle

WASHINGTON — A retired firefighter who went to a "cult deprogramming" expert to figure out how he came to believe Donald Trump's lies about the 2020 presidential election was sentenced to more than four years in federal prison Tuesday for chucking a fire extinguisher at police officers as they protected the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. Robert Sanford, wearing prison orange, told Senior U.S. District Judge Paul L. Friedman that he was embarrassed, ashamed and disgusted by his behavior on Jan. 6, 2021. He pleaded guilty to trying to kill a cop with a fire extinguisher. But his cult loves this guy. Maybe they will attack him and kill him now that he knows the difference between right and wrong. That's something violent criminals can't abide. 😲

Thai Revenue Office. Took 30 minutes. Now need to file taxes in America Get copies of Thai Bank book (deposits are income) File Tax return online with deductions for Life insurance for wife Medical insurance for son Life insurance for me (maybe) Let's say my tax due in Thailand is 10,000B. But I paid 20,000B in America. Then my taxes due in Thailand is 0B...? More likely my Thai tax is more than tax due in America then I pay the difference. That's it. Easy. Now I can use that money to pay optional taxes. Like the Beer Tax. Or the Farang Food Tax. Or the dreaded Penis Tax. Up to you. 💯

So you're saying you believe Trump just pardoned Democrat Actors pretending to be dumbass Trump supporters. Yeah that's the ticket. 😀😃😄😁😆😅😂🤣😭

Man shoots 7 police officers called to 'suicide in progress' in San Antonio This is so sad. Trump won't be able to pardon the Cop Killer because he already committed suicide. ❌

Exactly! They want to help the Middle Class worker, not the world's richest people. Can't have that. SPOILER ALERT: The person who said this still isn't rich only greedy🤑
