  1. I didn't see any house cleaning during his presidency. He was too busy playing golf.
  2. The Larsen Ice shelf's most dramatic collapse happened in 2002. The Brunt Ice shelf breakup is happening now. That's in Antarctica. In the Arctic, Greenland has been shedding 270 billion metric tons per year since 2002. These are not predictions, they are fact. https://science.nasa.gov/resource/video-greenland-ice-mass-loss-2002-2023/
  3. Any inert gas which excludes oxygen.
  4. It's immaterial to your generation and mine, because we will be gone. By 2050, the flow of water from the Tibetan Plateau to the Mekong, Ganges and Brahmaputra will be halved. That's assuming the Chinese don't build any more dams in Tibet. They have more than one thousand dams there already. 1 billion people in Asia depend on that water for growing food. It will make current economic migrations look petty in comparison. In human history, how many wars do you think have been fought over water?
  5. People have different ways of ending themselves. The Roman way, drowning, jumping, chemically assisted. If they are resuscitated, they will repeat the procedure used. They don't change to another method. One thing about jumping, there are almost no repeaters. Not from 14 floors up.
  6. Why don't you just come out and say it - you are a white supremacist. Stop tip-toeing around.
  7. So buying an EV and putting solar on your house were purely financial decisions.
  8. Why do you think I chose to live in Chiang Rai? Climate was definitely a factor. I would not live in Bangkok without aircon 24/7. Check out Mt. Bartle Frere in Queensland. It's an extreme example of orographic rainfall, 160 inches a year.
  9. My opinion is based on fact. Central Australia has temperatures exceeding 40 C 100-150 days of the year, Chiang Rai has 2-3 days. Chiang Rai has mild winds. It's very rare to get anything above 20 km/hr. OTOH, Melbourne is on the 40 degree latitude. In winter, we get a forecast for 12 C. It's actually 3 C after windchill. In summer, days of hot northerly winds which are sticky and very uncomfortable. Winds are 50 - 60 km/hr. In storms, they exceed 100 km/hr. While your post may be generally correct as to latitude, it fails to take into account the effect of topography. Chiang Rai is at the foothills of the Himalayas. Mountains and coasts modify weather.
  10. Agree. China, Russia, Japan, Germany and Italy all have declining populations.
  11. IMO the north of Thailand is one of the sweet spots for avoiding the worst effects of global warming and climate change. OTOH, places such as outback Australia, the Philippines and Florida/ California had better look out, because it is only going to get worse.
  12. Post all about it in salacious detail on Asean. It won't help the problem, but you'll feel better because confession is good for the soul. Alternatively, see a doctor. Priapism is a recognised medical condition. Do not think because I am posting serious advice I am taking your post seriously, Bob.
  13. Let me guess - you believe everything you read on Truth Social and Breitbart, You bought DJT shares for a secure retirement. You own $ 499 gold sneakers and a $99 bible.
  14. I guess in Trumpworld, free speech entitles you to defame judges, court officials, witnesses and jurors. Then stand back when your more deranged supporters act on what you say. The sooner this grub is locked up and starts on prison food, the better for America.
  15. Another example of Trump lashing out. If Americans are hoping for a leader who will unite America..........
  16. I don't know if that is correct, but possibly all he has to do is stay out of the states who convict him.
  17. Research scientist, chemistry background. Worked hard, traveled much of the world on the company dime, and as a consultant.
  18. You are omniscient? Nice to know. Only one more to go in my stupid post competition. Thanks for your entry.
  19. Trump has asked before whether he could pardon himself. He can fire the heads of the FBI and DOJ, install a couple of puppets. The would then drop all charges.
  20. Being the Grand Panjandrum of posting on ASEAN, no doubt he will write it off as a tax loss.
  21. Did you buy some DJT shares?
  22. It takes very little to be smarter than a Trumper.
  23. Condensation is normal. The unit is extracting moisture from the air it is cooling. As others have said, it should have a drain pipe.
  24. Entry #7 in the stupid post competition.
