That's not how classified documents work. The agency that produced the intelligence owns it. What's the highest ranking secret clearance you held? I don't think Ignorance is considered a security level, quite the opposite. 🔥

Reading comprehension isn't your forte because that's EXACTLY what someone suggested. 🤣

Trump just announced in North Carolina all disaster relief money will go through him, not FEMA. That's because everyone knows Trump isn't corrupt and is totally competent. 😀 Maybe if you are real nice to Donnie, he'll tell Jared to tell Vlad to toss in a bottle of vodka and a jar of expired caviar to close the deal. Jared Kushner facilitated the delivery of 45 ventilators from Russia to the US [in 2020], two senior administration officials told The Daily Beast. Those ventilators turned out to be faulty and were cast aside, local officials told the news outlet.

Nice looking sled. How do you get the surfboard in the back. 🏄‍♂️

Might as well, might as well. Trump's already released our Top Secret Nuclear secrets. Note photocopier in storage room next to boxes of classified documents he stole from America. 😂

Pete Hegseth has been accused of chanting "kill all Muslims" during a work event at a bar More "common sense " thinking? I mean who among us hasn't done this at a happy hour after getting excessively drunk with your coworkers, ammirite. And you wonder why when people go postal at work they single out certain coworkers for retribution? 😀 The slang term "postal" refers to someone becoming extremely angry, aggressive, or violent, often in a sudden and uncontrollable way. The term originates from incidents in the 1980s and 1990s where U.S. postal workers were involved in workplace shootings, leading to the phrase "going postal." Example Usage: "He totally went postal when his computer crashed." "Don't go postal over something so small!" It’s often used humorously or hyperbolically to describe someone losing their temper.

That's not what Salesliar said. He said their sentences are ∅ jail time, which is 💯 % false. Trump claims "murders don't even go to jail in this country"

False. Thai ingredients can be purchased for as low as 5B at a wet market. Farangs buy food at Big C, Tops & Makro which would charge more for the same thing. Plus imported food always costs more. Authentic Italian pizza they might import big bags of flour from Italy and might cost 150B. Local Thai pizza places use the cheapest local Thai flour available and might cost 100B. I cook at home a lot in Thailand and it's more expensive to cook at home than to eat the cheapest street food. Of course it's cheaper to eat Farang food at home than in a restaurant. But home cooked Farang food isn't cheaper than Thai street food. It's just not. 😁

If only Police could figure out where these drugs that cause paranoia are coming from... 😃 Paranoia is a common symptom experienced by individuals using methamphetamine (meth), especially during periods of heavy use or after prolonged binge sessions. Meth-induced paranoia can manifest in various ways: Symptoms of Meth-Induced Paranoia 1. Delusional Thinking: Believing things that are not true, such as being followed, watched, or conspired against. 2. Hypervigilance: Constantly scanning the environment for threats or perceived dangers. 3. Hallucinations: Seeing or hearing things that are not present, which can feed into paranoid thoughts. 4. Distrust: Extreme suspicion of others, including friends and family members. 5. Aggression: Acting defensively or aggressively in response to perceived threats. 6. Isolation: Avoiding social contact due to mistrust or fear of being harmed. 7. Erratic Behavior: Acting impulsively or irrationally based on paranoid delusions.

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. 😃
