You have to ask...why was he in a temple in Lampang?

 

The parents picked it to be sufficiently far away so the little <deleted> didn't cause any more issues at home?

Not an unusual attempted solution !

Apology  for those who have interest. The following link  is where I  intended.http://www.fao.org/3/T1838E/T1838E0V.htm

There is a gross  misunderstanding  about the  Government  guaranteed  price. That price is what the  Government  Rice  Store Authority  pays for  graded rice which is forwarded to them  by local intermediary  buyers/mills. It is a matter of opinion as to whether or  not the price they pay to primary producer farmers is reasonable !

In my own quest for feasible economic solutions  I discovered quite comprehensive entry  this  which provides  not   just some ideas  but at end some  very significant  information  about the impact of  methodology re' quality !

I am led to believe that to make the deep freeze more efficient, if it is not full of frozen goodies, is too pack all the empty spaces with scrunched up newspapers inside cardboard boxes or large 3/4 full plastic bottles of water.  I was told this 20 years ago!

 

I am sure the experts will have an opinion!!

 

 

 

 

 

That is  not as ridiculous as it  may sound. The logic of it is to  the reduce  the  volume of  air that need  be reduced  to  nominal freezing  temp. Is actually  more practical in an upright  freezer  because of the  volume of  cold air that  falls out  each time it is opened. A chest freezer loses  very little and  can be  minimized  by raising the lid  gently so as  to not  cause as   much interchange of air . Shop cabinet freezers  often have sliding  lids  which even when left  open  do not  cause  much disturbance .

Unless there is a  buildup of  ice  in a freezer there is  no practical need  to defrost it.

Auto  defrosting can  actually  reduce  the  food safe storage  time  in many  upright freezers .

But  people  love the  ice  free appearance!

If you are an old person, the percentage you quote is incorrect. It's more like 3-4% and ignores the rehabilitation aspect entirely. It is NOT no more dangerous than the flu. The USA is approaching 4.5 million active cases, those cases mean other patients are crowded out of overwhelmed hospitals.

 

I understand the zeitgeist of today is that old people should hurry up and die off so they get out the way of younger people. My apologies, I'm sticking around and it will be your turn soon enough.

lol. Bravo !  You and  me and  them  are the bristly  ole pricks  who  set you   young  punks  up for the  bliss of  what you have in the  world ! 

Yes? No?

It  may be so  but the sad thing is that the new generations effectively don't  give  a genuine fig for the past  you, me and them  generations. Is that not also a part  of what they have inherited?

In a sense it  is  like the drivers  Thailand.  I'm here. Stay out of my way!  Where  you are is irrelevant  to my now. In many  respects  that is  how  most of the world operates. Callous, selfish, grasping. From  top to  bottom. Wonderfully  encompassed  in  the delusional concept  of  "human  rights" and equality!

Don't  apologize !

Not sure what the message is in that. Seems like a reversed impact. Or maybe  because  for  years now the water level has been well below "average " levels and there are a significant  number of  entreprenurials  who have adopted  usage of the  dry  river bed?

After 10 long death filled, economy destroying months the USA STILL don’t even have they basics right. 

Going into the northern winter last year nobody had covid. This year we have a head start with 500,000+ new infections everyday. Yesterday about 11,000 people died. The most ever, it is getting worse, not better. 
 

Without the necessary basic preventive measures still not in place, millions still refusing to wear masks or social distance, health workers not having PPE, half ar5ed lockdowns etc, this is just the beginning. 
 

The America’s, Europe and the Middle East are dragging everyone down with them. (90+% of covid)
Hopefully the Thai population stays safe, but even if they do, they will suffer massively economic pain, livelihoods and businesses destroyed. It is very frustrating to watch this train wreck that is largely preventable.

The greatest injustice is that if the ignorant led  by the deliberate infliction of deception were to be those same who were to be  eliminated by the pandemic there might be seen to be some  natural justice. Unfortunately it is not selective enough to avoid those who are almost forcibly left vulnerable due to the narcissistic deliberate failures from the top down of Trump's quite  nasty administration !

If nothing else it can only be hoped that after Trump departs and the scale of events his administration have inflicted against the proper and genuine interests of the US population are revealed that a greater degree of comprehension will occur.

IMO Trump and his inner circle are  desperate now because of their disbelief of the fact their manipulations, false  narratives and corruptions have  failed to provide an election outcome they assumed would guarantee a consecutive  term  to complete the agenda of establishing an extreme right GOP with fascist overtones with all and any profitable advantages available to the core ruling  elite,  and introducing legislative changes that as much as possible circumnavigated the core principles of the Constitution.

There is a horrifying aspect of dilemma involved in maximum penalties involving atrocious crimes.

For those who display no recognition  of "guilt" or remorse  for acts they  readily  admit to invokes a response  that in one sense  is equally repulsive by deeming it  worthy of   a death penalty.

For those that been deemed rendered incapable of  comprehension of the atrocity  of their actions in the perception of argued presentation of  cause  for leniency there exists a sense of  sympathy because they are unable to comprehend  guilt or  remorse.

Sure as anything I never want  to be a juror in such a  case.

A I is the  production system. It's purpose  is  to extract  best productive outcome  selectively  obstructed  by the  human element where that is  optimal for original intent of the  system.

Any question  will result in an answer formulated  from an algorithm derived  from a  composite  of previous  known or predictable reaction . Cognicant but unanswerable  requests will be ignored . Next? Alexis... deal !

I feel a  winning streak  is generating !

Suicide  pact?

 Trump With two months left to his term in office! Which official was that!

Numbers !  Even retards  can learn to  count ! Maybe with   visual aids but  can learn !

Would Trump, under duress both personally and from advice  of delusional  sychophants resort to the usual tactics of a Republican regime of instigating a  major  war?

I guess the good news is that he still asks some advisors and he doesn't just use the nuclear code which he has. 

As far as I understand he could just decide to nuke them and it would happen. Scary, very scary.

I think that is a  Hollywood  scenario in real terms.

Well  hopefully!

I am sure the connection to the  "Bigger than  yours" button was isolated  some time  back.

You would need to establish what chemicals are  being used  before  any real concerns could be acted on. In a  gated  community  such information  should be not so difficult  to  find?

If in reality it is the  fogger smoke to eliminate  mosquito then despite the  common  complaint  of  bad smell it is  said to be relatively  harmless to   humans.

No silly   read it  well  54  baht  per  inmate  PER  MEAL  X3  MEALS = is  162 baht   per  day  

But  could be wrong  thats how it reads  

I initially interpreted  it the same way. But given the explanation of the  cost components in provision I can easily  believe that the  overall  budgeted figure may be true it is  more likely the food content  is a minor part of the cost.

In past years spent several  weeks in a Thai Public Hospital.The  medical standard was great but the  meals there were an abomination . The  7/11 on the ground floor was/is probably a goldmine. 

Prisoners, regardless of justification  or not  for incarceration, may object  to the standard of food but I have yet  to hear of complaints people actually starve to death. If that were the  situation then some  greater credence  could be given to advocates . Or  better yet  to advocate against  bogus incarceration  for minor offences.

Like you I looked at drying rice about 10 years ago. I used to take that part of our harvest for sale to the rice merchant and watch the basic moisture checking process. The difference in price was small compared with the cost of make/buying a drier. I looked at solar drying and using the heat from a rice husk carboniser. For our volume the numbers did not stack up. I looked at supplying the service to locals, but there was no interest.

We use blue happa nets and spread the rice, we do not use a road surface but a well drained area in the village.

 

If you can get this to work at anything like a cost benefit, please let me know.  

Yes, we too  use the conventional method of  nets on open ground. And take a  sample  for  moisture content  checks. Some  years that has been a problem due to weather.

Have never known  what price would be offered  for unconditioned  rice . To be honest never thought buyers around  here  would  want due to their own issues  in coping with  volumes .Maybe they  pass it on to the  bigger dealers because  in a  bulk form it  sweats and heats  very  fast !

Irrelevant in our situation  anyway because  my wife  has a restaurant that  most years  ends up  consuming  the entire Hom Mali production of  6 rai and then  some ! So it is very important  to that  concern the rice is  stored  in as good condition as can be achieved. A little different to those who  just  need/want to  flick it off as quick as possible .

So my interest is tri-fold at  very least. Defeating the  weather, preserving value, and  giving myself something to do  while the weeds  grow. lol

Have never had a problem with log in  though.
