Remove the seats, add more hanger straps, employ platform  "pushers"  and reduce trains !

Efficiency !

Given the  spooky  coincidence  often associated  with  the Thai Lottery and   unfortunate  connections to "Numbers" also associated with tragic news then is there a possibility  110 or variants will feature?

0 is one of those numbers .

I almost suspect that the author of this is composing a parody of a certain kind of academic argle-bargle. This sentence alone "The massive percentage of Nations have expressed sympathy and horror at the rising evidence of humanitarian abuses in the Russia/Ukraine situation while for many that echoes the same same but  marginally different demonstration of mafioso geopolitical attempt in domination that has disrupted any reasonable concept of a normal and peaceful life!" is almost brilliant in its ridiculousness. I particularly enjoyed "the same but marginally different demonstration of mafioso geopolitical attempt at domination..." 

 

Or maybe it's just the work of a bot created by a mad leftwing professor. It is, in its own dismal way, a remarkable achievement. So many words to say so little.

 

I think  it can be boiled down to this.: "Crimes against humanity are happening in the Ukraine. The countries that are condemning these crimes are guilty of committing them too. If other countries don't want to go along and condemn Russia, that's their right."

 

It is to be noted in nojohndoe's version, no responsibility is assigned to who is committing these horrendous abuses in what he calls, not The Russian Invasion, but rather the "Russia/Ukraine situation". Maybe we can coin a slogan for Russia out of this "Not an invasion Just a situation"

I agree that  "simplification"  is probably the  singular "forte" of the vociferous clique that expound in massive  volumes of  verbage opinions of collective appeal to and for "virtual" high fives while  ignoring the actuality of geopolitical complexity.

Puerile attempts at deflection in support of simplistic opinion do nothing to offer content worthy of  consideration.  No more so than the equally puerile expressed opinions of fellows to the  "ever so righteously politically  correct club" who automatically and in virtual unison deign anyone who fails or questions their collective opinion to be sympathetic to Putin et al ! Defined ignorants !

There is no geopolitical  simplification  in the "situation" when and where the majority of Nations object to a minority assuming a mandate which in terms of global ramifications that minority has no right to inflict, never has, and now due to potential global armageddon continues to pursue .

In reality is there one side in this conflict that can honestly claim innocence ? 

There is undeniably one side that unreserved in demonstrating inhumane acts .

A remote  faction of the "Other "side seems  quite content to  assist  a prolonged contest .

Perhaps. Or is  he being  willingly prepared to accept and announce his withdrawal from a role that has sufficiently acquired the aims of his  sponsors in return for a final golden handshake?

Wrong Russia is not demonstrating there super power capabilitly yet Nato etc be careful.

If instead of "super power" the terminology was capacity to wreak massive indiscriminate destruction regardless of target status then that is true. And yes  NATO need be careful not to assume a generalized "right" to precipitate and provoke such that would be of greater global scale in impact! The massive percentage of Nations have expressed sympathy and horror at the rising evidence of humanitarian abuses in the Russia/Ukraine situation while for many that echoes the same same but  marginally different demonstration of mafioso geopolitical attempt in domination that has disrupted any reasonable concept of a normal and peaceful life!. BUT yet have declined to condescend to total accord in condemnation of expressed motivation either way? Is it surprising that the representatives of independent Nations can express alternative opinion, interpretation, perception, geopolitical position ? Or is such a "democratic" ideal to be dismissed in deference to prescribed blind allegiance usually via temptation to accept devious personal advantages ? IMHO is that while many aspirants seeking political  endorsement via  "democratic" principles enforced by one  method or another there is a steady devolution of socially driven reality towards non benevolent autocracy falsely sold !

Putin has embarked on a crusade that is being defended against by an equally disingenous  misrepresentative manipulative antagonistic clique of the self interested.

At this moment in weather time most apps which rely on computer predictions are wildly inaccurate. Most reliable indicator of imminent sustained heavy rain I have ever found has been sudden mass relocation of ant nests from ground level sites ! As yet have not observed.

The problem is most likely to have been excessive addition of  sodium nitrate as a preservative. "Pink Salt" as used to cure ham etc.  The cheap meat products sold in many places are likely to have that or borax present which is why I never by them.

As a structural engineer, from what i have seen of Thailand construction methods god help them if they experience cyclonic winds.

In some aspects I could agree. But without  access to the specific construction details and if they were actually adhered to, or if existing infrastructure was  compromised permitting ingress of water , etc etc then other than a degree of concern for safety  not  much more can  justifiably  be said about this incident.

Restraining order? They do exist in Thailand.

As a favorite I hope his time as a politician has not made him forget the ever present possibility of a low blow !

I believe that the statement was  made in the context of countering any premature claims of lowered detections being used as a pretext to abandon current procedures. Personally I think any residual  purposefulness in widespread testing etc will be eliminated by the  songkran  holiday dissemination that few will voluntarily acknowledge infection unless seriously unwell.

Every day, yet another comical and almost unbelievable incident involving motor vehicles. 

Not so sure I can find it comical when a person dies in the process of doing major damage to someone's property.

The event of hailstorms may only be a momentary matter of fascination to many bt to agricultural producers  can be the death sentence on an annual crop and income.

Snow would actually be kinder than the destruction hail can reap.

At a time the US is attempting to attract and consolidate wider international support for it's NATO assistance to Ukraine it seems there is a tactic implying "shaming" a country by reference to perceived "human rights will do the  job ! Unfortunately such an approach is as likely to repeatedly receive a response not dissimilar to that given by India which basically read as "get your own house in perfect order before instructing others !"

"Whataboutery " is a realistic component of reference in the way of things including  politic !

Pretending otherwise creates a disingenuous and hypocritical position for those who prescribe a "do as I say , not as I do " policy in assumed "righteousness" should not be surprised at rejection in the current movement towards a significant adjustment in geopolitical sway.

It is Gazprombank that now does the money converting , the money now goes through Gazprombank, rather than going directly to the Gazpron gas  company . Buyer pays in $ and Gazprom get paid in Roubles 

   The buyer now pays the bank, who convert the money and give it to the gas company .

That is for the current contracts and I believe that the new contracts are up for renewal next month

  

That was the  mechanism that was set up originally to accomodate Putin's demand.

It effectively adds to Putin's foreign reserves while paying an SOE in roubles.

If your symptoms are  decreasing then you  probably have no need to do anything but do the decent thing and stay isolated for the nominal 10 days. One thing to be aware of is the possibility of developing a  bacterial sinus infection which I have post covid.

Very sad delusional dorks abound.

There does exist the sad reality of Putin's opening statement and declaration of hostilities that any resistance or retaliation would  be met with an exacerbated response. There is  no justification in that for acts of punitive illegal activity in any form but it can not be ignored when and where deliberate targeting of  civilians results in death and injury is reprehensible.

What does  become debatable in when in response to  hostilities  the  generic  conscription of a population provided with arms, ammunition and a uniform confirming  a military status and an individual feeling  empowered behaves in the manner of a sniper positioned in a civilian residential complex attracts superior firepower .

This  showdown is based on geopolitical influences that are well beyond the parameters of the plebeian perception of democratic process.

It cost two half times the cost to recycle plastic bottles than it does manufacture new ones by all accounts.

If you ban plastic, polystyrene etc I think that would put and end to the food carts or revert back to what they used before plastic.?

And what was used prior to styrene etc? I have seen some using a paper wrap. In Indonesia am always impressed with the continued use of banana leaves as a wrap in many places.

The crrent cost of the alternative "paperized" containers is many times more than styrene and trying to absorb that from the small margins many food cart operators have might finish them if customers will not accept another step up in takeway food costs.
