    Dear Folks,

     

    Having just watched someone put up a new roof, somewhere in Thailand:

     

    a. The homeowner chose BLACK…JET BLACK for the exterior covering of a corrugated roof for a very large sun awning.  I mean…a HUGE awning connected to his house.

    b. Why choose BLACK, JET BLACK?

    c. Does he think this color might be “COOL”?

    d. I do agree that the STONES are COOL, and the Tune is VERY COOL.

    e. But, to paint a roof black in Thailand…Is this cool? Or, is this idiocy?


     

    What are the construction workers thinking, too?

    Are they not aware of the radiation absorption PROPERTIES of a…

     

    BLACK BODY IN SPACE, for example?

     

    When we talk about BLACK BODIES, and BLACK BODY RADIATION, I guess you all know what I am talking about.  But, do the workers here, who are working on this big project, understand?  Have they not even studied Year One Astronomy at MIT, for example?

     

    All MIT courses are available on the net, and for free.

    Any excuses for not having watched the Physics courses on MIT's great website, before putting up a black roof?

     

    This just boggles my mind.

     

     

     

    AND...What about the HEAT-ISLAND Effect, around the black roof?

    What about THAT????

     

    Ignorance is Bliss, as they say…until..it becomes the ….

     

    HOT SEASON, in Thailand.

     

    Best regards,

    Gamma

    Here we go, another load of verbal crap

    Picture from responders.

     

    An incident has claimed the life of a 72-year-old retired mechanic who was working underneath a car outside his home in Taling Chan, Bangkok, when the jack supporting the vehicle collapsed. The man, who had often carried out repairs on the same car, was found dead under the vehicle late evening on 17 April.

     

    At approximately 22:00, Lieutenant Atchai Nuimat, a duty investigator from Taling Chan Police Station, received reports of the incident on Chaiyaphruek Road. He responded to the scene along with forensic officers from Siriraj Hospital and rescue workers from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation.

     

    Upon arrival, emergency responders found the deceased man pinned beneath a blue Ford car, registration number from Nonthaburi. The right front wheel had been removed, and the vehicle was resting precariously. Rescue personnel had to use cutting and lifting equipment to extract the body from beneath the car. The victim had suffered injuries to both his head and body.

     

    His 47-year-old wife told officers that her husband, a former car mechanic, regularly worked on the vehicle outside their home. She would usually sit nearby to assist him, especially considering his age. She said she had warned him several times about the risks of using the jack improperly, fearing that it might one day collapse. The incident occurred while no one else was around, and the man remained trapped for an extended period before being discovered.

     

    The body has been sent for a post-mortem examination at Siriraj Hospital, and police are continuing their investigation. The family has been left devastated, with his wife and children visibly distraught at the scene.

    Another piece of crap from China that would have been better used as a door stop
