Good info. Let's all read this comment.

I am a scientist. Old Sigmund thought he was a scientist. I just detest pretenders. (No hard feelings. And, as you know, I am a pretender, too.)

NAILED IT....! Most insightful post on TV....during the past decade, bar none! I will not even attempt to reply to this Topic, since you have obviously already said it all....

Dear Folks, Please take a look at this book cover, or novella cover, actually: When I compared the recent power outage here to Notes from Underground, I really do not think I was spouting nonsense. I was referring to possible and potential dystopia.....which is one of the themes.... When I stated that, anytime the power grid goes down, then one might read Notes from Underground, by one's phone, KINDLE, or tablet, or by candlelight, I was NOT JOKING.... I meant what I said. Apparently, there are those who do not share my view of our impending doom, given the fact that we humans are unwilling to plan for the future, but, instead, prefer BUSINESS AS USUAL, even if it means the doom of our society, and our children's children. In addition, we can also consider the increasing alienation of the individual, just as social media becomes stronger and more pervasive. We cease to consider our fellows as REAL, but only as PROFILES on our screens. All of this, and even more, became suddenly much clearer to me, this eve, when the lights went out for a few hours here, during a slight thunderstorm. And then, I began to hum the tune..... We are DEFINITELY heading to 3.25 degrees C above pre-industrial mean global temps..... I just hope you are prepared. And.....EUROPE...is now behind the 8-Ball, too, judging from recent reports..... Being without power...is.... A real thought-provoker. I hope it never happens to you. Regards, Gamma

Dear Folks, I have been told that my posts are nonsense. Do you really think this is true? Are your posts nothing but nonsense, also? Who is to decide? GOD? Regards, Gamma Note: Should the Supreme Court decide? Or, do we know nonsense when we see it? Note2: Is it also true that some people actually enjoy reading nonsense? Note3: Could it possibly be possible that those who point fingers at what they believe to be nonsense are actually the most nonsensical people around here? Personally, I think so... But, what do you think?

Dear Folks, In my opinion, one of the most powerful bands I had ever heard, up to the year 1970, was Chicago. Here are a few examples, and maybe you have differing opinions on this. However, anytime I heard Chicago, back in the day, .... I immediately began to..... TIGHTEN UP.... Just so powerful. Also, what do you know about the guys in this band? I think they were underrated, by a tad? Did you have the power, back then? Were the JUICES FLOWING,, in you loins, back then? Do you wish you could feel that way...... AGAIN? Regards, Gamma G. NOTE: Also, do you think that the band, Chicago, would have been enough to power the grid in Thailand? OR, do you think that Chicago could not have done it alone, and might have required The Help of The Who, to accomplish this task? Here is just one example of the Power of The Who.....

I should like to point out here that.... At the very root of our being, .....our living cells; and we ALL have them.... The fundamental parts that make us human..... The STUDY OF THE CELL is, really, little else than.... The study of ENERGY. Molecular Biology, AKA, Biochemistry, is.....really, .... Nothing more than the study of the Cell and Energy which powers our Cells!!!!! When you guys, here on TV, begin to study biochemistry.... Most of your time will be consumed with understanding of the energy-related mechanisms of the cells in your body. Without POWER, the body will die. Hopefully, PEA will keep this in mind, as nothing other than a poor metaphor.....

Why are there never enough electrical wall receptacles in most Thai homes? Any idea? Do they think that.... The fewer the receptacles, then the more money they will save on saved electrical power usage, or something? This is not only true of Thailand, but also true of SE Asia, East Asia, except, maybe Japan. So, why is this? EVEN WHEN the electrical power is not down, still you got not enough receptacles, IMHO.... Again... Why is this? Regards, Gamma Note: I got wires strewn all of the place from one wall outlet to power the electronics in my house. Did they never think that I might trip and fall over these? What a pointless hazard to life an limb! Note2: NO ROOM should be built without at least about 35 wall sockets, ALL GROUNDED, IMHO.... What say you?

Maybe you were just so..... HAMMERED...that.... You did not know what was going on, this evening....

Best for everyone if EVERYONE just goes UNDERGROUND....

How Secure is openSUSE? VERY!!!! I already finished my migration, for my computers, to openSUSE. AND....if you might doubt me....then...just ask a GLOBAL MOD here at TV.... Because....The Global MODS know what I am running, for SURE!

Better in SOME ways.... Maybe.....

I'm BACK....as of 10:35PM.....when power was restored. But, for how long.... Nobody knows. There is always a blessing in every cloud.... When the power went dead, the sudden loss of power sent my BIOS back to StoneHenge.... And so, I tinkered with my BIOS....something I love to tinker with.... And, I took this great opportunity to TURN OF numLOCK in the BIOS....something which, hitherto, I had been just too lazy to do before. It's these niggling little things in the BIOS which just irritates one, until we get a REALLY GOOD POWER OUTAGE, which forces us to do what we should have done many years ago.... Thanks to PEA, I now have my NUMLOCK turned OFF in my BIOS. So GRATEFUL, that you would not even believe....

Wow... The flying termites are really out enforce (in force), tonight! When it rains, it really pours around here. Happy to be alive to see this!

Even without electrical power... Thailand is better than most countries... This is what I know... From many years of living.

Maybe time to return to Japan... Ya Tink? No!!!

Yes. Thank you.

Maybe... Time to install Solar in my house? Ya tink?

When the power went down this early eve, I saw three ambulances go by in the span of about an hour, something which I never see. No sirens, just flashing lights. And, I thought to myself.... Thank the gods I am not at home on an Iron Lung... I know that I am so blessed...

Have you ever heard of DTAC? I love DTAC, actually. DTAC and 3BB. I LOVE these two companies... to death! Seriously. DTAC AND 3BB... Great for me!

Getting eaten alive by the mosquitoes... Too. And, Too hot to sit inside without AC. Some here will be happy to hear my sad news, of course....

This happens every year, during the first week of the Raining Season. But why? Is this just to keep us on our toes? Is this to remind us that the powers that be can withhold the power, anytime they like, if we should ask for more than we deserve? Sitting in the dark with my NOTE4... And,... Loving it. Regards, Gamma G.

I did not know that this happened.... Until you told me..... Thank you! Also: I have a better photo of a CAR FIRE.... Here it is..... Here are the firemen who risked their lives trying to save the dog inside the burning car: MIRACULOUSLY....The pooch survived..... But, he lost his tail, after severe singing.....(not singeing, you will be happy to know).... In the end, the fireman adopted the dog, whose owner (I forgot to tell you) perished in the blaze..... After being sent in a MedeVac airlift to one of the best trauma centers for burn treatment, where the owner of the dog finally succumbed, but not before giving birth to triplets, while on life support, aided by a last-minute cesarean section, performed by the doctor who turned out to be her father. I know this might seem far-fetched...but... I read about it on TV.....

Actually, NO.... Garbage only begets Garbage.... And then....clicks quickly drop to NADA.... How long do you think The New Yorker would last, if the magazine did not have great writers, like us. Have you ever read Cheever? It has been said that John Cheever built The New Yorker.... Anyway, this cannot go on.....for long. Even WE will, someday, tire of the Garbage...and then.... We will lose interest here. Just a guess.... Wait and see..... How did it ever come to this, though?
