I agree with the last line. If you are measureing the IQ of americans then the average has to be 100. That is the baseline for average.

Phuket car rentals must verify tourist driving licenses
Dionigi replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
1968 convention (original) The convention had amendments on 3 September 1993 and 28 March 2006. There is a European Agreement supplementing the Convention on Road Traffic (1968), which was concluded in Geneva, on 1 May 1971. Note that before 29 March 2011 the convention demanded contracting parties to recognise as valid for driving in their territories: any domestic driver's permit drawn up in their national language or in one of their national languages, or, if not drawn up in such a language, accompanied by a certified translation; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Driving_Permit -
Phuket car rentals must verify tourist driving licenses
Dionigi replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
International Driving Permits are governed by three international conventions: the 1926 Paris International Convention relative to Motor Traffic, the 1949 Geneva Convention on Road Traffic, and the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Traffic. When a state is contracted to more than one convention, the newest one terminates and replaces previous ones. Thailand is a participent in the Paris and Geneva Conventions but not the Vienna. Look it up -
Phuket car rentals must verify tourist driving licenses
Dionigi replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
used to be here but now they insist on the IDP . The international convention now states that the license used must be in the official language of the country it is used in. hence the need for the IDP. -
check your beer dates in bars also, if not supervised they tend to put the new beer in front of the old as it saves work and when then they get down to the old stuff it is well out of date.

Local beauty queen stuns at Chaiyaphum military draft
Dionigi replied to snoop1130's topic in Isaan News
because lady boys are called for the draft, this also means that the government does not treat them as women, as other countries are doing and as the LGBTXVSLKT groups would like us to -

Barred from Europe: 2.4m Brits caught in post-Brexit passport chaos
Dionigi replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Another storm in a teapot. The number of passports issued before 2018 and not having sufficient validity to meet the criteria must be very small as the extra length on the passports would only be 9 months. so only people whose passports were issued in a nine month period and had the nine months added and also wish to travel to europe during a short time frame fall into this category. -

Thailand’s industrial ethanol: A game-changer in green economy?
Dionigi replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
It is methanol that makes you go blind. ethanol is the basis of all good distilled alcohol. The knack of distilling is to ensure ethanol and not methanol is produced and kept when distilling mash made with plant based products. -

Thailand’s population to halve in 60 years, warns deputy PM
Dionigi replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
A higher birth rate in the past has led to a large elderly population now. Increasing the birth rate will only help in the short term as the increase will lead to the increase population eventually becoming elderly. Unless the government intends to constantly increase the population. This pyramid scheme will end up like all pyramid schemes, they go bust because they are unsustainable. Investment in technology and education with a decrease in rampant consumerism is the only way out. -

Thai Airways sues over passenger’s flight diversion criticism
Dionigi replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I think, if you make a contract with a company to convey you by air to a certain destination, on a particular type of aircraft, at a particular time, at a particular price, and arrive at another time, then any deviation from that schedule is a broken contract. I think Thai Airlines should be thankful that the only have complaints and not class action lawsuits. -
I go through my youtube offers daily and tell them not to offer from certain channels. Two days later exactly the same video is once again in my feed. I sometimes wonder if their algorithm takes any notice what soever. If I am tempted to watch a youtube video shown on another site I am immediately inundated with similar videos. If I save a video to watch later, which I do if I would like to watch it more than once, they repeatedly put it back in my feed even when they know I have bookmarked it for future reference and do not need to be shown it again.

Thai jewellery industry urged to focus on sustainable manufacturing
Dionigi replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Sustainability means using renewable sources, where does this come into jewellery making? Jewellery making is probably on of the most recyclable industries as the precious metals can be melted down and reused and the jewels, even if out of fashion, can be recut and reset. But sustainability not unless wood becomes rarer and more expensive. -
Tesco Lotus started off in fine style, with lots of own brand products, but this soon went downhill and the products disappeared from the shelves. That's when I stopped using the shop except for occasional items.
