Here is how it works chez moi.

I am not up to date, will show you my picture, you have to ask in your local GH. The stores throughout Thailand do not have always the same assortment. And perhaps they have now one smaller one.

A poll when 88% of population is in a favor of something over their real reach? It reminds... (how - and by who - is such a polling financed? paying an academic with speciallity...)

It has something to say why the UK left (luckily) the EU and how now (without UK so powerful one) are the remaining EUists being handled to their inevitable downfall... How the Legutko is popular among his MEP colleagues shows the (nearly) standing ovations...

You can buy in GH a (swimming pool) filter with 6-way valve for 7,000 Baht. Or any steel pressure vessel filter (with backwashing valves) as it's used for general use house water system in villages after the storage tank. The backwashing will be surely needed, the waste from the fish is enormous - especially if you feed them generously. The other - less powerful - system is to have the outlet water flown (with the shi t) by gravitation into another sedimentation tank(s) (with a cascade partitions) where from the cleaner water is pumped back into the fish pond once the level switch "high" in the last cascade section will switch ON. The flow rate control by hand valve - from fully open to 50%, to fully closed (at night when the fish sleep ????) . No need to run 24/7. So I have it working for years with 25 pcs.

Yeh, it's not really highlighted by the media, but there are few more links, e.g. : “The European Parliament has been sending a false message.” Chairman of the ECR Group, Prof Ryszard Legutko, took the floor during the @Europarl_EN 's #70th Anniversary commemoration to highlight the shortcomings of so-called European democracy. @EuroParlPress

If you believe the media... BTW 1 year ago. Surely they know a lot about Poland...

The idea of EU was never to unify cultures - what for? But to unify and create a strong economy entity that could be on a par with other strong entities. (obviously to their dismay...)

Also Angela Merkel in her recent interview with Der Spiegel expressed her disappointment that she could not persuade - in her last ruling days - the other EU leaders for an independent European discussion format thru European Council with Putin. Because, by then, the MInsk agreements were eroded. That's why the Russian-Ukraine conflict did not come as a surprise...

If you did not understand what I remarked to your idea of "more EU leaving countries", perhaps you should try to find (on YT or else) an assessment of EU by Polish EMP prof. Legutko he presented this week (in good English) to EU assembly at celebration to 70 years of EU. He called it: Two Minutes of Bitter Truth to the EU Parliament (actually, it took him 4 minutes for which he was reprimanded by the not so happy EU president lady)

Why - instead of waiting on supplying ships - the others too do not copy their manufacturing skills? And is it really imperative for anybody to take the lead?

Is this rule also applied at immigrants?

That not because the EU idea was wrong but because of the EU current leadership trying to harm the EU and the member states.

Not to speak about other countries allowing their colonies to gain independence after centuries. How generous... But how hypothetically is it connected to China?

I think that each of your statement could be relativised to another country unless not classified as whataboutism or off-topic. Better not to further debate it, especially about the oil fields...

Is it worth of an answer? So, you measure the "capability" of people by a Nobel Prize? Wondering how the committee will browse thru the whole world (whether is able to), finding the best one of the year from the B7-8 world population? Perhaps, something like they found the best world peacemaker? (oh boy stop, dangerous towards an off-topic). And how is the science Nobelist "capable" for the country while being shut off in his laboratory? "Capable" (and rich) is only the one who will further develop his achievement (or sometimes the one who has suppressed it as we are seeing in the recent history) - do we care what the Nobelist claims? Whether the few Chinese Nobelists - expats - have been missed in their home country that has been "capable" to achieve such an enormous development within 30 years what no other country could do even in 200 years? (There is no Nobel prize category for country development...)

Do you really mean it? (I am worried about you in case you would say something like this when visiting Vietnam)

What a funny remark (politely said). Where did you read they are the most capable Chinese people? So, you think that nobody more capable in China left? And what about you? You too do not like your govt? (in case you do not stay with them?)

Read my post again

Considering that a large portion of population in those countries has Chinese ethnic roots (similarly as in Thailand) and these people belong to the most influential people in those countries (similarly as in Thailand), what do you think who they are more friends with?

How do you know what airline are the Ukrainians coming with? There are few millions in Europe. And when you read a bit the news from there the local people are not so happy to see the refugee who possess a special status, getting everything free, even pocket money - nothing what the local needy (old) people could dream of - however, they see them driving in not so cheap SUV's, travelling back home and back to their hosts again, enabled to do good business, etc. And there are also few millions (the Russians say 4 - 5) also in Russia, perhaps some coming with the holiday flights...

Not to speak about a recognition whether it could be a Ukrainian?

Wondering whether other (perhaps of China) media headlines won't read: China military poised to return to Subic Bay, counter U.S. presence...

But it would not be good for the world politics to accept a right for an independence, when the country wished so, would it be? Then it would admit that the Catalan independence was right. Not to speak about Crimea and the others. Only the Kosovo was an exception, but did they vote?

The hired boys hardly will take a good care as you would do. And they do not see what's getting wrong and what needs to be repaired, replaced. Moreover, the works around the pool will benefit the owner. Not only by saving the maintenance money but contributing to his physical condition. And the physical condition is the main purpose for having the pool (beside the show for neighbours). Swimming is the sport No. 1 for old people, quite more enjoyable than a torturing and sweating on gym machines. And when swimming then rather in longer laps, the width is not much needed (unless often having a pool party with 10 people). That's what I mentioned that when planning a new pool then to make it rather longer than wider. What for having and caring for so much water in the middle of the pool that hardly will be reached.
