  1. China Surges Ahead in the Military Space Race, US Warns of Shrinking Technological Lead 

     

    Instead of wasting Billions/Trillions on this Space War Race  .

    There's no need for this (Accept a Power Race,) They have  enough war infrastructure without going UP There.

    Use that money for the needy people in ones country  They need this Badly

    Homeless people /Not Illegal Immigrants asylum seekers. Pensioners/underprivileged , some jobless people, War veterans, Disabled people.

    How is that even possible.   Wagyu labelling, what BS.  People still fall for that :cheesy:

     

    1, Japan does not export Wagyu cows / cattle

    2. Japan does not export Wagyu cattle sperm or eggs

    Global Impact:

    While originating in Japan, Wagyu breeds and their genetics have spread globally, with Australia being a major producer of Wagyu outside of Japan.

  3. Is private health insurance worth it for a long-term stay in Thailand?.

     

    Yes it would be worth it   IF the Insurance companies would charge a Decent premium according to the countries cost of health treatment .

    They say that healthcare  is cheaper than in Western countries , So why is it than that we have to pay More than in Western countries  and that just about Everything is classed as Preexisting   That would be the reason for not being able to make a claim/Getting Refused .

    Than of course we have the problem of being OLD ,Premiums   going true the Roof ,Too Old to get insurance .

    Now  healthcare  being cheaper than the West there shouldn't be a reason to have to pay the overpriced premiums for a Minimal Health cover.

    Did you read my explanation of how the UK electricity wholesale market works?

     

    I assume not,  so here it is again.

     

     

    So for every half hour period that gas peaker plants don't need to be switched on then the wholesale price is set by a cheaper form of energy.

     

    For reference Gas Peakers plants charge 114 £/MWh and offshore wind is 44 £/MWh in 2025 

    You can say and Explain whatever  you like .

    Electricity will Not get cheaper . Maybe cheaper to Generate but not cheaper for the public.

    They been saying for years that they are going to  supply the public with cheaper electricity, right. Has that happened No ,the only thing that is happening is that the price  for electricity for  the public is going Up. Their excuses are Everything that they need and use to produce the electricity  cost More . AMEN

    Couple of off topic posts regarding legality of agents removed.

     

    I like to Know if this procedure is Legal  By Law or Legal By IMM or Not Or only Legal for Certain People /Imm Officers  .

    If one wants to use an Agent  for one reason or an other and IMM decides to Refuse the Application because they had a Bad day one could be  in some trouble if one hasn't got the 800K Right. 

    So you being one of the  MODS  you should look into this and make this Clear for Everyone to know .

    Thank you .

    Do they even still sell dumb phones?

    How much cheaper are they than a lower end smarphone?

     

    My bank branch sometimes is closed for no apparent reason and it's way more convenient to use the app. 

     

    It's sometime actually convenient to use Apps .... if it really bothers you, then don't. But I'm not even sure you're saving much money buying a dumb phone. 

     

    No such thing as a Dumb phones anymore ,Mine  is  an  up market So called Smart Phone ,I  Just  don't use it for Banking and Business  I use the Laptop at home with I Banking and Debit Card and use an  OTP for  Transactions  Safe as a House , safer than a Phone App.

    I dont know how anyone survives in this day and age without a smartphone . 

     

    Why? A phone is for Phone calls , All Banking and Business can be done at home in time .

    No need to transfer money on the run or anything else . if it can't be done today it will be done tomorrow  This has been working for us Forever ,No one complained as yet .

    Every thing takes time . One want something done Like IMM one calls ,goes there,More forms /Copies  Same everywhere so one can do same they wont something  Money ,Documents Copies they have to wait as well,And they Will. 

    One only wants a smartphone to show off  and use in the shops with their QR code payments that take Forever .Nah Technology Not always for the better , AI  , Rubbish only going to cause more problems.

    Morons by not having Travel Insurance. 

    The Govment should look into that and make a Rule Come to  LOS Must have travel Insurance if not No Entry.  

    Should be easy to obtain when Buying ones Ticket. online or from an agent.

    This prevent the Lazy cheapskates to Rely on Go Fund .

    No Excuses for Not having a travel Insurance .
