    Great quote from the president of the University of Florida;

     

    At the University of Florida, we have repeatedly, patiently explained two things to protesters: We will always defend your rights to free speech and free assembly—but if you cross the line on clearly prohibited activities, you will be thrown off campus and suspended. In Gainesville, that means a three-year prohibition from campus. That’s serious. We said it. We meant it. We enforced it. We wish we didn’t have to, but the students weighed the costs, made their decisions, and will own the consequences as adults. We’re a university, not a daycare. We don’t coddle emotions, we wrestle with ideas.

    well dont  that man but i'd  add OFF  campus

    Almost completely impossible  to limit electromagnetic signals to a countries border.

    Enclosing the whole of Thailand in a faraday cage would work  but not so good for the tourism industry.

    Of course they know its impossible  but will use this excuse along with any other to impose more stringent controls on phone users internet users and the service providers.

    yes its  just another step down the dreadful digital highway where everything you do, think, write or breath is known so they can constantly get back at you, wise up avoid this digital spying

  3. pah its  hotter  than the last 4  years in Pranburi but thats the only difference, previous to those  years it was where it is today for  about 2  years. One year even saw 13c in the morning, havent seen that since (7years ago) so for me have had the last 3-4  years  cooler and wetter, previous 2 years  hotter  drier, can tell easily by the trees  in the mountain next to me. Then last 3-4 the mountains stay green, in the hot years they go brown,. this year theyre brown.

    Maxed out at 43.1 c 4  -5 years  ago, this year max so far 42

    No one seem to mention that a few  years  ago it was very wet, almsot every day had  rain in the rainy season and beyond, I know as I worked outdoors for years and had to keep jetwashing the black mildew off concrete. Havent had to do any this  year and most of last year either. I spoke to the shopkeeper who lives round here and  he said it goes like that, couple of really dry years then some rainy etc, nothing unusual for him.

    I don't think it is wise to recommend Chevrolet. Since it left the Thailand. 🙂

     

    I regularly hire this guy to work on my house. When Chevrolet was leaving the Thailand he bought one with some huge discount, something like 50%. That car is parked in front of his house for the last 12 months, because it broke down and nobody can repair it. And even if could, it would cost more than is the value of the car. So he went and bought on leasing Hilux Vigo as his working vehicle. While Chevrolet is parked in front of house as decoration.

    oh  really, so he didnt get the 3  year guarantee when he bought it then?

    That is warm Charlie.

    But spare a thought for the millions of Thais who dont have an aircon. 

    Tough people the Thais. 

    you could say the same for anyone who lives in a cold climnate with many

    -c temps, you adapt  to it especially if youve been brought up in it. My Wife couldnt stand anything below 30c.

    An excellent idea! Help us formulate the questions that should be asked and we'll run a poll. Here's a starter for ten!

     

    Question: In light of the new tax rules that became effective 1 January 2024, what are you actively and seriously planning and intend to do in response?

     

    - the planned rule change will be cancelled so I don't need to do anything.

    - I'm not planning to do anything differently

    - I will wait until next year to see what happens, before deciding

    - I will not remain in Thailand for more than 179 days per tax year

    - I am definitely leaving Thailand and will live somewhere else

    - I will remit less money to Thailand, in order to avoid tax

    - I will obtain a TIN but nothing more

    - I will file a tax return

    - I'm happy to pay my fair share and to pay tax in Thailand rather than mu home country

     

    Anything else?

     

    Poll now posted.

     

     

     

    wheres the poll then and i think it should be hidden from the Thai Tax  dept!!

    It's sad to read and I dislike negative comments regarding girls working in this industry, sure you get a few nasty girls but I'm sure most times it's the foreigners that ruin them. 

    They ruined themselves by the choices they made in life.

    The thing is, Einstein's theory disproved the existence of the luminiferous aether.

    Whereas the denialists have repeatedly been proved wrong in their predictions that the climate was going to cool down in the early part of the 21st century. They are actually comparable to the scientists who disbelieved in Einstein's work.

    yes but who knows if someone comes  along and  disproves global warming due to man etc, we think were smart but in a  100 years we'll  look pretty stupid no doubt

    Wait:

     

    The speed of light is considered to be A constant.

    But, the speed of light is not constant in all cases, such as when it travels from one medium into another, for example from a complete vacuum into a liquid, or, say, a glass fiber (fibre).

     

    Capisce?

     

     

    duh oh no you mean when its not in a vacuum .............. yer dont say, who wouldve thunk it eh
