Volunteer Civil Defence Officer Critically Injured After Being Strangled by Python
Rats, cats, soi dogs (although the latter is unlikely). I had a 1 meter Burmese Rock Python about 25 years ago. He was happy with a few young rats per month or if I couldn't get those I would just buy hamsters, guinea pigs, baby rabbits. He wasn't fussy as long as they were alive.

Thailand’s Earthquake Damage: 34 Buildings Deemed Unsafe After National Checks
My building is not a high end condo, its maybe a C-Grade building. I pay 10k THB a month for a 50 sqm, one bedroom condo. We had engineers going over the entire building last week, including coming into our units to check cracks. I have a few cracks in my walls and tomorrow at 10am they are coming back to check again. None of the cracks appear to be structural, so I'm not even slightly concerned about them. But from an aesthetic point of view, who wants ugly cracks in their walls.

1 baht street water machines - do they have filters?
I've been using a machine like this every day for the past 13 years. It's on the same floor as my condo unit, about 20 feet from my condo unit's front door. They regularly service it and the filters are inside the unit.

What do you do with all your free time these days?
I have that installed but it kept crashing..however I think that's due to some dodgy ram which I think I have sorted so I'll give it another go. I've never had any issue with it. Using with Linux Mint.

Anyone on Social Media and getting paid?
You only need 1000 subscribers and 4000 watch hours (in a 12 month period) to be monetized. If you are getting millions of views you should be earning significant money from your YT channel.

Primary School Cancels Easter Celebration to Promote Inclusivity
Not many Christians in Islamic Schools in the Middle East, but there are Christian Schools. Thailand constitutionally guarantees religious freedom, prohibiting discrimination based on belief, and recognizes Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, and Sikhism. While Buddhism is promoted, the constitution doesn't designate a state religion, and the exercise of religious freedom is protected as long as it doesn't harm state security. Either way, its 2025 and humans no longer need to be scared of the unknown, we no longer need to attribute storms, disease, famine etc to a god figure. Religion should be wiped from society.

LASIK aka laser vision surgery
A friend of mine, aged about 42, had the lenses in her eyes replaced instead of having lasik. She now has perfect vision. She did not have cataracts but the doctor in Hong Kong said lens replacement would be a better option for her.

What made you to take the jump and move to Thailand
I was headhunted from Hong Kong. I grew up in Asia so Asian girls are not that appealing to me, unless they are very well educated, speak perfect English (and their family all speak English, you can't marry someone if you can't enjoy good conversations with her parents). I definitely did not come here for the girls. At least in Hong Kong the girls you meet don't have dirt poor family waiting for them to marry a Western guy. Not sure why people care about temples. Seen one you've seen all of them. Besides why support the stupidity of religion.

YouTuber Labels Phuket Myanmar Community 'Slum,' Faces Backlash - video
I've lived in and traveled around Asia for over 50 years. What I've never been able to understand is why the people who live in these shacks turn the entire area around their homes into disgusting dumps. Doesn't matter where you go, if people are living in shacks, the area around them is just littered with garbage. Often so much so that plants stop growing. If they had any dignity wouldn't it make sense to keep the area outside their homes clean?

Would you talk to a famous Youtuber if you saw them?
One of my friends married Ania Kubow and they've had a baby together. To say I'm a bit jealous of him is an understatement! If I saw one of the YouTubers I follow, I'd give them a nod to acknowledge I recognise them but wouldn't go over and bother them. It would be good to meet them though in the right circumstances. However, If I was a famous YouTuber and I saw someone who was perhaps a fan, I'd probably wave for them to come over, unless I was actually filming at the time. I know a lot of people making YouTube videos, a few are starting to become reasonably well known each with upwards of 50K followers.

It won't save us from his ongoing nonsense because this forum doesn't restrict people from outside of Thailand pontificating on life here.

The Age of Disclosure: A Documentary Unveiling the Truth About UFOs
Radio waves were discovered in the early 1800's. That's well over 200 years ago. Science has shown that straight line speed is limited to a value below that of lightspeed, unless you are made of light which only light is. Theoretical ideas such as folding space time are unlikely to ever result in a method of transportation, the same as wormholes or other ideas. The issue people fail to grasp when talking about ultra fast travel is how do you scan ahead to identify if there are going to be any object in your path? At those speeds you can't turn and you can't stop. Stopping requires that you slow down enough to be able to stop, otherwise you get flattened as if you've hit a brick wall at speed, by the sudden stop. The act of slowing from a theoretical speed just below LS would add potentially hundred or even thousand of years to the journey. 10 light years at lightspeed takes, 10 years..... but you can't go from zero to LS and back to zero, and even if you could any amount of time required to accelerate and decelerate increases those 10 years significantly. Science fiction movies and stories are just that, fiction.
