Is this Acer Swift Go 14" a good deal?
Loved my Acer Swift, but too expensive I figure these days. Using an Acer Aspire 1/3 the price, Not any great HD but dam good. Starts in less than 1 minute which I love. wish I had one without the Thai/English keyboard.

Thailand to block unlicensed Crypto Exchanges
A few comments in my ignorance. VPN? Most russians have to first get paid in BTC, than exchange it to USD and the exchange it to THB. Is this correct? If so its a good thing.

Bangkok sizzles at 40°C, heatwave scorches Thailand at 43°C
Three days in hospital? Its not heat exhaustion, its very serious heat stroke. I doubt most of us would be here if Air Con had never been invented.

Electricity use hit new high Monday night as Thailand continues to swelter
Add in, most folks are running with very short fuses. For me, the pool is too hot, and I can only get a short walk in early before I start sweating like a pig. Consider, a few weeks ago here we had a short pretty good rain. It cooled it down from 40c to 26c very quickly. Now back to unbearable, every dam day.

Electricity use hit new high Monday night as Thailand continues to swelter
So true, they waste so many things here, from food to electric to water etc. I would guess 30% of the rice produced here is thrown away after meals. Leave a building on a sweltering hot day and don't close the door. How many time I have walked over somewhere sitting in a bank or somewhere and repeatedly closed the door. My condo looks great but don't look any closer than that. Every moving part, joint, socket and pipe is very poor quality. And I mean everything. Never ends, leaking this bad seals doors that don't fit, hinges that are of such poor quality they would never be sold in most countries. But its all looks good, that's all that matters.

We have large generator here and last week I heard a big ‘Boom’ about 2pm, and then no power. I heard the big gen start momentarily then it ran out of fuel. Then they got some fuel and started it again and all the filters were clogged so it stopped again. Then they had to go buy new filters. By the time they got it running PEA had sorted it out.

Pattaya Beach Road Needs Shade Trees
I explained once to the kind gentle security guard in Chiang Mai how black absorbs heat. i showed him a white car in the parking lot, and a black one. He touched each of them and was amazed.

If we pave the entire earth with cement and asphalt, it will be hotter.

Part of the mindset here is that Singapore is the most advanced society in SE Asia, which it is, in many ways. Since they can't replicate Singapore, they opt to pour concrete over as much as possible, install floodlights and destroy anything that might be the color green. At least it kind of looks like it then.

The photo seems rather bizarre. Here is a guy obviously over heated, in serious trouble and everyone is standing there looking at him. And one guy has a piece of paper fanning him from a long ways away. ???
