NOT schtick. And, who's being humorous? Certainly not I. None of us old geezers are up to snuff, after age 80. Should be obvious to them. But, it's definitely NOT obvious. Good for a joke, however. Just too bad that... This is actually such a serious life and death situation..... Just like most things.

Dear Folks, With all these bad storms, due to our ever-heating planet, is it not time for some comic relief from OLD GEEZERS like Biden and Me? Watch this video for a laugh, for example. Some 100-year-old guy who can't walk right telling us.... NEVER FEAR, I am here !!!!! The only good thing is that when he talks about over 100 years ago, he can now finally SPEAK WITH AUTHORITY on the topic. Nuttier than a fruitcake, otherwise, of course. Doesn't seem to know, even how infirm he is. But, at least, he will be with us in Florida to fight back the surge. America the brave and powerful, led by Our Old Geezer in Chief......and I, for one, am behind him. Best regards, Gamma

Noam despises Trump due to Global Warming, principally. Noam also stopped liking Obama when he saw that Obama didn't actually do anything, and was just following the same path as has been followed by others in the past. Noam is for those who present the least likelihood of destroying the world through global warming and nuclear disaster. Only my opinion, and I'm probably wrong, anyway.

Elderly Swiss man busted with gun at Phuket Airport
GammaGlobulin replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
I can appreciate a fine weapon, of any kind. This does not mean I would be so foolish as to own a pistol. -
Wives ALL look the same.... After about a year. No matter how "HOT" they might be the first day, they are always the ugliest in the world, when one is in the process of divorcing them. a. Find a smart wife, who is nice, capable and kind. b. She will become more beautiful, by the year. c. Never marry a lady-boy. They are never satisfied with the status quo.

You might think that a Swiss guys could afford a better gun than this. What a piece of garbage. I have never owned a gun so cheap. -

NEVER bring a knife to a gunfight. The Swiss guy must have been doing nothing other than following this old and PROVEN Maxim. -
Car Plunges Off Chalongrat Expressway, Killing One
GammaGlobulin replied to Georgealbert's topic in Bangkok News
One other obvious observation: The driver is not at fault, in any case. It is Big G. What is Big G? Put simply: What goes up, must come down. Also, the force of gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two objects. If ONLY this driver had been driving on the Moon, he need not have had such a hard landing, as on planet Earth. So, choose your planet wisely, anytime you decide to drive off an elevated bridge...I guess....is the lesson here. -
Car Plunges Off Chalongrat Expressway, Killing One
GammaGlobulin replied to Georgealbert's topic in Bangkok News
I have seen cars doing the same sort of thing, all throughout my life. This is why I wonder why we still drive them. In recent years, I have stopped riding in cars, unless, on rare occasions, I have no other choice. Too many are killed in automobiles.... This is why I prefer to order online, so that I need not ride in cars....on my way to the shopping centers. Stay safe. Don't ride in automobiles, is my best thinking..... -
Dear Folks, Everybody knows that Cagney is a Star. But did you know that he produced one of the weirdest films of all time, and one which is also magnificent, too? This film deserves to be classified as a CULT film, by any sort of criteria that you might consider. So, if your house might be flooded, and if you might be depressed about it...then....at least...if you have a phone with YouTube....then.... Still you can watch this film, and maybe you can escape for an hour into....some really weird stuff...from James Cagney. This film is just about the ULTIMATE in escapism, as far as I know. And, sometimes, when things are not going well....then....we must find a way to escape for a brief period of time....lest we go MAD. Some people, most mistakenly, held the belief that Cagney was not smart. Well, he must have been very smart to direct this...one of a kind....film....which is just so FAR OUT..... Here is the link to this amazing film..... Now is the perfect time to watch a film like this.....during the Great Flood. All you need is a phone and an internet connection. All this brown water around us....is depressing. Hopefully, this old film, from 1957, might help some of us, these days, in 2024, during the month of October. This film is rather unique, I think you will agree. Thanks to the guy/girl/group who uploaded this to YT...because.....this is one film that I had never before seen. Best regards, Gamma Note: My guess is that, due to Global Warming, ....we will need to soon learn how to cope and to become far more resilient. Because...sure as shootin', Global-Warming effects will only continue to become much more pronounced than...what they now are in 2024. Wish I could go back to 1957....just about the year that The Keeling Curve began....on Mauna Loa...... 1958-2023.... (What a Bummer!) What a bummer..... 555 ! NOTE4: Take a look at the Keeling Curve....a close look....because..... THE FING SLOPE of the curve is actually becoming steeper, and is not bending down. Yes, the positive RATE OF CHANGE is actually INCREASING..... What a FING Bummer!!!!!!

Trump is NOT ....BIG TIME...on Science....as we all know. Who is surprised. However..... We are not, this year, voting for the BEST OF THE BEST.... We are only voting for the LEAST WORST OF THE WORST.... As everyone should know, by now. In other words.... Which candidate is the LEAST CRAPPY Candidate of them all? This is really NOT an easy choice, this year, 2024.

I am far more into intolerance breaks.... To break from people who have sub-average IQs.... People I meet here on, almost, a daily basis. Positively exasperating, not to take a break from trying to tolerate those with sub-average IQs... In fact. Talk about ANNOYING !!! Very Best Strategy: Just stay close to a university. CMU is OK....actually.... CMU is full of students who are really NOT up to snuff.... But, still....they are BETTER than the locals....outside the uni....in fact. Not joking, here....obviously.

Dear Folks, I have spent most of my life in Asia, East Asia, celebrating DOUBLE TEN day....in Taiwan, for example. You know what this is.... SHUANG-SHI-JIE....雙十節.... Double Ten is the celebration of.... So, can anyone explain to me why.... Here in Thailand, Double-Ten Day now means....BIG RETAIL PROMOTIONS.....? I thought this was a day of REVOLUTION, or something..... You know....the Xinhai Revolution.... So.... What does this have to do with getting a Promotion on a Blender or a Meat Roasting Oven.....? Anyone able to explain this to me??? Happy DOUBLE TEN to you all, by the way. Best regards, Gamma

Causes of High Electricity Bills in Thai Apartments
GammaGlobulin replied to CharlieH's topic in General Topics
The SEER is a PREDICTION A prediction is just that....a prediction...obviously. The EER is calculated, by default, at a set ambient temperature. As I recall, the EER is calculated at only ONE ambient temp..... I forget, but probably at something like 34 degrees C. Just google to get the correct ambient temp...if you do not trust my memory...which I do not. -
Causes of High Electricity Bills in Thai Apartments
GammaGlobulin replied to CharlieH's topic in General Topics
Please just do math. Check for the heat output in BTU/h Divide by watts. You get EER in BTU per hour divided by power used, in watts. The SEER is another measurement based on predicted use during a season, and also....based on predicted ambient temps, seasonally predicted. a SEER of 24 is OK, by the way, for most modern ACs. The EER ratings are usually higher in lower capacity ACs, such as the 10,000 to 18,000 BTU units. All the info is listed on the side panels of most outdoor units of ACs sold in Thailand.
