Haha.....!!!!!!!!! This very simple location.... SAYS IT .......... ALL......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I know what you are talking about. And, yes.... The products made in Japan are amazing. And, Panasonic (Matsu<deleted>a) (This site here does not allow me to post the name of this Japanese company, obviously.) Japan is an amazing company that produces extremely reliable and premium products. I AGREE.....10000 percent...!!!! So, let us not compare apples with oranges....

I have heard good things about the reliability of the Daikin ACs. I purchased 3 Daikins, three for each condo in Zhongshan. These machines were manufactured in China. I believe they were good machines. And, concerning the Daikin machines that you purchased 14 years ago: In which country were these machines manufactured? This would be helpful to know.

As Inspector Clouseau once bravely stated: "I assume nothing." Please check the outer casing of the condenser unit, the outdoor unit on those Panasonic machines. It would be very helpful to know where these machines were manufactured. The reason is that Panasonic produces ACs in China, Malaysia, and used to produce a few models in Thailand, and also produces in Japan and Taiwan. It is crucial, in my opinion, to know where the AC is actually produced. If you still have these machines, please check. Thank you very much.

Judging by the point of impact, it would appear that he might have taken a running leap, rather than just a simple fall. The point of impact seems to be quite far from the building.

In which country were your Panasonics manufactured, if I may ask?

I have purchased many. When working as originally designed to work, then yes, I believe they are the best. I think I have mentioned this sentiment, here, many times.

Yes. I do a gree. He was talking down to us, this time. Sorry for that, a bit. OK. Then why not try this one. You will not be disappointed.... For sure, this creator does a lot of work for each of his vids. Trust me...

And, for the Students among us, I asked Gemini how Gemini has changed on my desktop after this week's Google I/O... I had always had greater faith in Gemini, compared to Sammy-Boy's ChatGPT. The universe rewards GOOD, and punishes EVIL, I guess. Now, we are seeing that I am right, once again, Folks. (It seems that Gemini PRO 2.5 is now showing up on my desktop computers. Last week it was Gemini 2.5 Advanced.)

That's also correct. I never worry or break-out in a cold sweat when adding comments to TV. I don't know about other members, however I have always found TV to be most forgiving of comments made by me.

Yes, I think this is correct. A higher-resolution study of the cell, for example, demonstrates this is true. Chemistry is Physics, for sure. Commenting on TV is Physics?

Here is a Gemini News Flash for you.... Gemini has just become the lowest cost most powerful AI....it seems. Anyway, this particular writer CONSISTENTLY provides some of the highest quality vids about the nature of AI and the progress of various AI models. He is always worth the time to watch his well-thought-out content...for sure... Someday, soon, we will be able to lock the school children in closets with just a computer display attached to Gemini, or Grok preferably, and the AI will be able to teach these kids from Grade one to Grade 12, far better than most public schools in the USA. So, no worries, I guess.

Great News....IF true: Microsoft may have just killed OpenAI. (Not Sammy Boy, unfortunately. No I don't hate Sammy THAT much. I just want him kept out of ALL AI projects. He is dangerous to the movement.) By the way, this vid is produced by someone with a bit of Academic AI research. And, his AI videos are quite good. He is some college prof from Georgia Tech, or some other uni. I have been praying, almost daily, that Sammy will get the boot (for the second time), but permanently this time. Note: And yes, of course, I have always thought that most everything was based on Physics. And, as our understanding of Science continues to progress, this idea that all is based on Physics becomes even clearer. How can one even understand biochemistry, for example, without understanding Physics, and energy? Truly impossible. Physics is not a difficult science, by the way.

When you still had your 3000-book hardcover collection, did you think of yourself as a part-time librarian? Also, what happened to those books? And, how were they arranged and categorized. But mostly, what happened to them? What kind of bookcases did you use, wood or metal? I like book cases of wood, preferably a beautiful hardwood.

No. I read your comments and I would have thought San Francisco.

Yes. No surprises. But...WRONG for the USA and the UK. This will be harmful to the world. Wait and see. Each culture is different. This can be good. And this can also be very bad.

I think I might try reading one of the better Inorganic Chemistry textbooks. I know which one. There is a very well-written few textbooks written by one particular author now teaching in California. His books are among the best for students. His books are suitable for AP Chemistry, and then first year college chemistry, and some other advanced books. I have always found chemistry more difficult than other natural sciences due to more than normal memorization requirements, compared to Physics, and biochem. Also, organic chemistry is easier, and so I am OK with organic chemistry. But, inorganic chemistry is a pain. So I might read the college textbook I mentioned. Or, I might not. I probably will, but I won't read all 1000+ pages in one evening. I guess it will take me a few days, or a few months. This will be a review of what I learned in college 100 years ago.

Well, I like birds, especially the Thai myna bird, and the bird that pokes holes in my lawn, too. These are my favorite birds. So far... Maybe i will look for a Drongo bird, tomorrow.

Too many ways to list here. For a starter, just begin with the ways that Google search has now become a Google-Shopping Site. Everybody knows this. Just Google it. But, if your life revolves around shopping, then Google has improved for you on the search side. There are many other changes even more objectionable. I will say that Google Drive is still quite good, as it always was. Also, Google Docs, Sheets, and especially Google Translate is still good and getting better. If you want a list of negatives about how Google has changed, then i suggest you ask Grok, or SuperGrok.

No, it would definitely NOT be boring. And, it would be a good world of Confucian values. Culture is important to me. The culture I prefer, above all others, is Chinese culture. Indian culture? No thank you.... But this is just a matter of taste. You have your taste, and I have mine. I would not impose my values on you, unless you break the laws of the land. Culture is something deeply ingrained in all of us. The typical Indian is unable to change his cultural bent any more than a REAL Englishman, for example. American culture, too, is a real thing. BUT, if we have the Indians in charge of Google. This will be really bad for the world, if only from a cultural perspective. (Also, this is truly something new and never-before seen....)

What's a drongo. Just curious. Never heard the term before in my life. English is such a rich language. This is why English fiction cannot be beat, assuming one actually reads English fiction, which I once did...all the time. I would read fiction again, if only I were able to suspend disbelief in this New Braver World of ours. This is no longer a world which is so conducive to reading fiction, unfortunately.

There is rampant price discrimination, too, I have noticed. For example, it seems that Indian users of SuperGrok pay less than 25 percent of what I would need to pay. Maybe this pricing is being run by the Indians? This is a two-tier pricing model based on what culture one is from. Nobody likes two-tier pricing. But, I can guess that the Indian Culture finds this completely normal. I think it is now far too late to turn the tide and return to the good old days of about a decade ago. There seems to be this strange idea prevalent that the modern world in which we live should be a homogeneous world. That would be OK with me if it was homogeneously Chinese. But not Homogeneously Indian Culture, I would add. I do not think of all cultures the same. I am therefore not an idiot in this respect. Some people have a hard time accepting reality. They would prefer to live in their own dream worlds.

Dear Folks, For some time now, I have noticed, or I think I have noticed, a rapid shift in the demographics of employees working at Google. Simply put, we seem to be seeing the Indianification of this once great company. What are the implications for users? Why is this happening? Are you happy that Google is becoming a company run by Indians, and possible FOR Indians? Maybe there are just too many Indians in India, and more are coming soon. The population of India is still increasing. Will our future world be run by Indians and in their Image? I prefer Chinese culture. I would prefer to have Google run by the Chinese, a people I can easily identify with. I LIKE the Chinese. But, the Indians? Well, why should I even answer this question? This transformation at Google has been happening for some years, now. Is this transformation unstoppable? Soon we may reach a point where we might just as well move the Google Headquarters to Bombay? Bombay is a decent gin, but I wouldn’t want to live there. Would you? Best regards, And, maybe I should have learned Indian, instead of Chinese, Gamma

I don't post any made-up Thai stories here, or anywhere. Must be another member you are thinking of.

From the headline, one can surmise that I believe AI makes life far better, while we are living in the present presently. However, as well, I believe that, within the next five to 10 years, the disadvantages of the creation of AI will far outweigh today's advantages. So I agree with you that it is far better to live in the present presently, rather than to live in the present five to ten years from now. This makes much sense to me, just judging from what I think I see and that which has been trending in AI progress.

You mean questions about fiction? Very rarely. But, just for you: What is the most important central theme running through the fiction, both novels and short stories, of Kafka? So, there is a question for you. And, I see nothing wrong with my questions.
