Its not the pipes, its the storage of the water in the tanks, lol

Personally for the 17 - 18 years I've lived here, never felt so hot for such a long period. I normally look forward to the rains at Songkran! The issue for Phuket is water, many areas are now limiting supply. We have our own deep well but even that is taking far longer to fill up the tank. That and the huge electric bill for air con. Damn this El Nino! Temp was on the steady rise anyway over the years: https://climateknowledgeportal.worldbank.org/country/thailand/climate-data-historical

I could have added a lot more but I was not giving an essay on the details as its in other topics. I was filling in some blanks that the other poster was obviously unaware of. I'll ignore your speculation.

Just to clarify, Ralph (the black teen) went to the guys home by mistake and Lester who shot him was, suffering from paranoia brought on by believing in conspiracy theories after watching too much conservative news outlets. This according to his own grandson.

Agree, in the US all states have a right for citizens to defend themselves, so what exactly in my post do you disagree with? They are all facts.

No surprise there, Clarence Thomas was one of two judges who publicly dissented.

Not quite as simple as that, the only states that have "Stand your ground Law" are: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and West Virginia Wyoming. States such as New York state, where Ms Gillis was shot as the car she was in pulled into the wrong driveway, does not have a stand your ground law, and imposes a broad duty to retreat. Statistics show that states with stand your ground laws have seen a rise in homicides by 10% or higher. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-65282084 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand-your-ground_law

You're asking me if they have proof? There is a trial and the outcome will be decided by the jury

Make of it what you will but despite Trumps attempts to dismiss the cases the judge was having none of it so we now have the trial "Donald Trump called the writer E Jean Carroll a “nut job” in video testimony last year and falsely claimed she had enjoyed being sexually assaulted – prompting her lawyer to ask if he was admitting he had raped her, according to freshly unsealed testimony. The New York court on Friday also rejected as “absurd” Trump’s attempt to have dismissed the two lawsuits against him by Carroll, alleging rape and libel. An April trial is planned." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jan/14/donald-trump-e-jean-carroll-lawsuit-nut-job

So you haven't bothered to read the OP to put yourself in the picture, why does that not surprise me.

No, not gov employee's, read the OP, that's what its there for.

Well it formed part of my post context, that using the reason for AR-15's for hunting is a deflection from what the majority of people actually buy them for and why they are being banned in Washington. But if you do want to know the link is on the first page.

Yet you missed that majority don't own them for hunting, links already supplied in this topic.

Nowhere to hunt in Washington. The majority of AR-15 owners don't have them for hunting anyway.

Here come the conspiracy theories.

"Better start learning how to deal with the effects" They are, read the IPCC reports

This is unverified. Nobody has seen or had access to all the questions from YouGov. Yet the description gives some basic clues that dishonesty and deception is still rife with Fox news and their statements that are then carried by other outlets. A mere look at the chart should give one pause. You’ll note that the numbers displayed add up to 148 percent You can’t make this stuff up. Read the fine print… Q1: which news sources do you follow Q2: *of those sources* which do you trust most… So all this actually shows is that Fox News viewers live in an information bubble. Fox News claims to be the ‘most trusted.’ Is it? More aptly, Fox is the outlet that the most people cite as being among their most trusted outlets. But on the whole, Americans have trusted it less than they trust plenty of others. But a mere look at the chart should give one pause. You’ll note that the numbers displayed add up to 148 percent. So this isn’t strictly about which one outlet is “most trusted.” The description of the data in the ad, in fact, shows that the pollster asked about media outlets people watch and then “which do you most trust for news? Check as many as apply.” So 41 is the percentage of people who cited Fox as being among however many outlets they cited as being their most trusted. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/04/17/fox-news-most-trusted-ad-poll/ Fox News Mocked For Ad Claiming It's The 'Most Trusted' TV News Network Fox News apparently decided to make a statement on the eve of its defamation suit with Dominion Voting Systems ― and it went to The New York Times to do it. On Monday, the network paid for a full-page ad in the paper declaring itself the most trusted TV network in news, citing stats based on a recent YouGov poll. HuffPost has reached out to YouGov for a full copy of the poll data, but in the meantime, it’s worth noting that evidence shows many of the network’s hosts and executives promoted false theories about supposed election fraud that they themselves did not believe ― so perhaps not all of that viewer trust is necessarily warranted. https://news.yahoo.com/fox-news-mocked-ad-claiming-175655544.html

Thailand temp, its hot and getting hotter. https://climateknowledgeportal.worldbank.org/country/thailand/climate-data-historical

I was replying to a post on sea levels not temperatures, regards modeling forecasts they have actually been quite accurate, the most respected ones fall within a decent margin, some below and some above actual temp rise. "Climate models published since 1973 have generally been quite skillful in projecting future warming. While some were too low and some too high, they all show outcomes reasonably close to what has actually occurred" Here's just one example of many from this article, this one is from IPCC. The forecast is the black bold line, the others are the actual temperature recordings. This one from Hansen https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-how-well-have-climate-models-projected-global-warming/

Shoreham on list of places that could be lost to sea by 2050 due to climate change https://www.sussexexpress.co.uk/news/environment/shoreham-on-list-of-places-that-could-be-lost-to-sea-by-2050-due-to-climate-change-4033177 UK sea levels have risen 6 inches since 1900

They were obviously not one of the 6 percent of Americans who do own an AR-15, about 1 in 20. From your wiki. "Many hunters prefer using AR-15 style rifles because of their versatility, accuracy, wide variety of available features, and wide variety of calibers" So that "many hunters" is actually a tiny minority of AR-15 owners.

Yes seriously a sample size that matched previously with polls from previous estimates from The National Shooting Sports Foundation and the National Firearms Survey. Do you really need explaining how Ipsos poll's work Do you have anything to counter it aside from "I don't care"
