  1. While solar has a short payback of less than 8 years, and dropping, the energy becomes as free as sunshine indefinitely after that though maintenance and life of panels affects the cost. Technological advances will improve payback even more over the years. But compared to the continuous expense of mining coal, logistic costs and so on, surely it is more advantageous in the long run? Not an expert but it seems to make sense.
  2. It seemed to happen in public so unlikely to be police assisted. Probably a health issue.
  3. Britain should reevaluate whether it needs to hand over Diego Garcia to the USA.
  4. This is a terrible situation for special needs kids. Shouldn't their schools be exempt from VAT?
  5. Hey Europe, stop censoring people. J.D. Vance
  6. She looks like the PM with more makeup.
  7. I thought the Board of Investment was the entity that helped foreigners to invest in Thailand? Please explain the difference.
  8. Was there forceful vaccination, or did companies say no vaccine, no employment? No passing it on to colleagues? Companies can issue any rules they think necessary.
  9. At least we can work from home while we wait for a civil engineer to give the all clear. Hope it isn't the same civil engineer who said our building is earthquake proof.
  10. Goodbye DEI. Welcome back misogyny and racism, we've missed you.
  11. Why bring it up now (pun intended)? Poor guy was a sporting legend. So what if he couldn't get it up without help?
  12. Why do people always devolve to exchanging personal insults when they can't Google some facts? MTH (must try harder)
  13. Destroying human rights is a long and slippery road to hell. Certainly exit illegal immigrants but do it within the law.
  14. While not published in western news media, an interview with Putin yesterday in Pravda was worth reading. He was quoted as saying that it was time for Russia to take back Alaska, a country it had sold to the USA in the 19th century for "a ridiculously low price." "The price we got was not serious. It was a joke. Today it remains underdeveloped, which we could change. It does not even touch the continental United States! Russia is closer to Alaska than any part of continental USA. Russia was the first to send a satellite into space. With our advanced technology we could develop Alaska. Canada is a possible security barrier and will ensure safety for Americans. All we want is some space to breathe."
  15. Why have egg prices come down? The US has been panic buying eggs from Austria, Norway, Spain and Denmark. The U.S. Department of Agriculture said it secured new egg commitments from Turkey and South Korea. America needs to spend more of it's budget on eggs than expected.
