Although the source of exposure to the virus in this case is currently unknown, A(H5N2) viruses have been reported in poultry in Mexico," the WHO stated.

Yes , when animals are being held in large quantities in non-species appropriate conditions , they tend to develop sicknesses that can lead to another viral pandemic . We know that .

Amidst this political turmoil, the climate crisis looms as an ever-present threat. For those attuned to the realities of climate change, it represents a profound moral injury. The destruction of ecosystems, the extinction of species, and the pollution that kills millions annually are stark reminders of our collective failure to steward the planet. The psychological, social, and spiritual impact of witnessing such widespread environmental degradation is immense, contributing to a sense of helplessness and grief.

The world IS rapidly changing now .

Not only by the impacts of climate change , but on a social , humanitarian and political level as well .

Everything is connected ,every action provokes a reaction ... If this ' reaction ' is helpful or not , it leads the way to our future ...

No (re)action at all just lets the ongoing processus continue and does not help .

But whatever bla bla ... we know already that the climate change will not be stopped or reversed , the 1.5 degrees have been surpassed already , there have not been any significant efforts to stop or delay this , the consequences are clear and can not be ignored anymore .

In this chaotic new world, kindness and solidarity are essential. Understanding that millions are grappling with similar challenges can provide a sense of shared experience and resilience. By coming together to address the root causes of our distress, we can begin to heal the wounds of the past few years and build a more compassionate and connected future.

Well said .

" the root causes of our distress "

What needs to change is the System . Political , economical , social .

Thia present system only crates destruction and hatred . There is a more balanced and sustainable solution to this , but , to save our SPECIES , not our ethnicity , all people need to speak the same language ... will not happen without a catastrophic event that greatly reduces the world's population ...

I agree with your if trump wins gambit that’s what Putin’s waiting for and XI is playing the long game.if it does come to nato getting involved we will roll putin back quickly he will lose Crimea as fast as his troops can run for their lives forget the equipment 

Nato closely observes the borders to russia , they knew about the russian troup's mass gatherings near the border to Ukraine ...

Nato  behaves a bit strange , as they know what Ukraine need now , but they seem to have logistcal and financial problems ... a pity over there we witness the systematic destruction of a country .

Give them at least , effective protection against  russian airstrikes , glide bombs etc...

I look forward to going back to a routine 

These old drunken old expats  don't have routines 

I watch one old guy every morning sit at that mini mart opposite Arcadia resort with the other drinks he then waddles up to his room in a stupor 

Please I don't want to end up with NO routine 

Waking up to do the same drinking all day 

I honestly believe these guys were NOT alcoholicd before they lived in Pattaya 

 

They are bored with their life's ,no routine,nothing to do etc 

What you care ?

You are not responsible for their lives .

They are the losers , often without knowin it .

Sad , just don't look at them if you don't like to ... do something you like to do , or are you just doing it ?

Pay .

Smackin' a thai is not free.

more paeng now ...

Putin does not need unity . He is the one who decides . And he is prepared for a long war .

If Nato member states  would speak with ' one voice ' in front of aggressive Russia and leave no doubt that they are well prepared for a war with Russia itself , Russia would think twice before acting in a threatening way .

But is Nato ( and it's European member states  ) really prepared to confront Putin ? The answer is : NO .

He can threaten and do what he wants , he does not care about sanctions ( that have proven to have very little effect ) and even international arrest warrants have no impact on him .

In his country , he has successfully eliminated all opposition and critics , he knows that China wants Russia's

Gas and oil and raw materials , enough income provided to fund a long war ...

Europe is far behind , as so often ... time to massively invest in the military has come , but it will be too late , as that takes years ...

So , it is Putin's game and gain .

He creates facts now , counting on the fear of his nuclear arsenal .

Up to Nato to react , but it will be late , may be too late ...

use the stepfather as a test monkey for new medicine. if it works great we can heal other people and save countless lives. if not oh well no loss.  

I think that he is ( mentally ) different from other , normal , people .

Therefore he may not be an ideal subject for the testing of new medicines ...?

Depends if the mind has influence on the general health of the body ...?

“Which cop dares to arrest someone like me? I’ve been wanted since 2007. No cop is brave enough. I’m in Ta Khun; come if you can.”

What an idiot .

Sometimes it is better not to give or buy .

Most of those sellers are organized and have a ' boss ' supervising them .

If you give to one , more will follow ...

Happened to me in Cambodia , I was asked for money by a poor woman with a child ... I gave some and was soon surrounded by a group of about 20 people asking for money ... annoying .

Definitely another lie .

Paetongtarn quoted her father as saying he is ready to defend himself truthfully in court. She also noted the allegations are politically motivated, originating from a former attorney-general

Oh , that bad old attorney general ... it is all his fault ...

Though the girl’s mother attempted to mislead the police during the arrest, and Dongtan denied the allegations, Major General Teeradej Thamsuthi declared the girl's account credible.

Some men become reduced to ugly , mindless beasts when they grow old ...

Why ? Probably a damaged brain by years of abuse of lao kao ... or lived a loveless life without any empathy that finally turned him into a humon , a human monster .

I do not think that he was even able to realize what he did to that little girl ...

SAD .

Just show me some old thai man who still look handsome , not many do ...

They age not good , many turn ugly ... why ?

But there are a few exceptions like this one :

A new model of BYD EV has a "hybrid powertrain capable of traveling more than 2,000 kilometers (1,250 miles) without recharging or refueling", allowing it to travel from Signapore to Bangkok on a single charge.  The new EV will retail for approximately $13,800 (500K THB) making it a highly affordable EV and one that even I'd consider purchasing (and I'm not an EV sort of guy - but once they start having ranges like this - I can change my mind)

China haters
"All Chinese cars a junk!!!  Junk I say!!!  Grrrrr  Mom, Apple Pie and 3M THB Ford Truck EVs!!!"

Smart consumers
"Where can I buy one!"

Well, don't need one yet as my Celerio still gives me plenty of love with 50+ mpg.  But BYD will be high on my list if I need another car in the future

Pity that link did not show much ... 500K thb and 2000km range ...?

Sounds too good to be true ....
