But, you know..... I do not really care about money....because..... HERE IS WHY: And, as we know.... So many girls are going off their heads...these days.... Therefore..... Is money that important when we know we are looking down the barrel of the end of our lives.....?

I have plenty of cash. If the market dips low enough, then.... BUY, BABY....BUY...... Is this what you mean?

By the way, Folks.... There has been some talk, erroneous dreamings, that Trump might cut off funding to Flagship Unis....but..... NEVER FEAR...... The present endowment at the University of Pennsylvania is strong.... And, every year, we just have SO MANY new students who want to attend my GREAT Alma Mater.....BINGO....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 72,000 APPLICANTS for the undergrad schools at Penn. I just wonder....did Chris attend Penn? If not, then he should have. Penn deserves great students like Chris Chappell....also....CHOMSKY.... By the way.... I really worry about Noam. I hope he is getting on, OK, but I fear, not....unforunately. Noam is a great man who has dedicated his life to doing great things. He has changed the world for the better, and he worked hard, selflessly. =========== So, anyway, if Trump decides to reduce Federal Funding to schools like Penn and Harvard....then.... This is OK. We will survive, and we will THRIVE. Probably, also, far better to NOT take federal funding because.... Why do we need to be controlled by the Gov? Go, Chomsky Go....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, and I think you are pretty much correct. Also, are State-Owned Enterprises all that good? Just asking....

Dear Folks, I guess all you guys must know China Uncensored, hosted by one of my fellow alums....Chris Chappell. But, I have NO IDEA what his politics might be....(haha). Anyway, after the recent quake, Chris did a vid that was his usual. Do you like it? Chris loves satire....as always.... And, here is another BETTER VID which is far less satire, but still, maybe....accurate.... Yes, the Belt and Road has never lived up to all the hype and tripe, obviously....just judging from what some can see. The TRUTH shall OUT, as it always does. So then, what do you think? Are these two vids rather interesting and maybe accurate, too? This seems to be a CHINA problem, and not a Thailand problem, is all that I am saying. For guys like US, this is OLD NEWS.....right??? Next time you welcome Belt and Road into your country, maybe.... THINK TWICE? Best regards, Gamma Note: The pity is that China is extremely capable of building world-class engineering projects. Why, then, did things need to come to this? Never Trust the Commies, Folks. The Taiwanese never liked the Commie Bandits, as we all know. Norte2: Chris, actually, might not be an alumnus of mine. And, he might be a member of the Falun Gong. Still, he enjoys his irony and satire, for sure, at China's expense.

If war happened now, it might be a good thing. The weather is just TOO HOT in Thailand. Nuclear Winter would obviate the need for wasting energy on my ACs....

Time to get out of Dodge. This crisis has been long in coming, with Taiwan and China. This showdown will not be put off forever. I am very glad I am not in Taiwan, these days.

You only lose when you sell.

I don't understand. Sounds like some sort of NEW AGE thinking.... Or....Flower Power Philosophy....

I haven't lost a dime. Why is that?

TUNA, I hope. The smell of Tuna always makes me, suddenly, ravenous.

He is an example of the true scientist. He reminds me of Ben Franklin, a true American.

Trump, in this shot, reminds me of the great film... PATTON.... Same backdrop of the red and white strips. Where is George C Scott, when we need him?

And, every time a jet overflies my house, rattling the windows, I will have the added benefit of a whiff of french fries (chips), right? I cannot wait. ((I prefer NUCLEAR POWERED aircraft, for just this very reason.)) No smell.

In Europe, they don't like us. Thankfully, Randy Newman replies to their scorn. I am proud of Randy. Anyway...We Don't Want their Love.....

OBVIOUSLY.... To a very major extent... It has been the US Importers who have been responsible for keeping import duties to the US low, especially China, Taiwan and other countries. If there is true reciprocity, then Trumps experiment is long overdue. There is really no reason for the USA to help protect overseas manufacturers. Of course, the US manufacturers in China will not be happy...and this is Trump's point. Unfortunately, China is set up so that one must manufacture in China to gain access t the Chinese market, and factories must be joint ventures, etc. Will this change?

Taiwan's import taxes have been way too high for many decades. Taiwan is no longer a developing country. And soon, Taiwan will be a province of China, anyway.

Thank you. Very interesting, and I had not heard of this brand. However, I have heard of people using something from Bluetti. Are you familiar with their products? So, the question is, at least for me, which is better...for my purposes. https://www.bluettipower.com/products/solar-generator-elite-200-v2?id=67c197013fc3f304dcea274c The link is just to one of their products, I picked at random. However the Bluetti site has a wide range to choose from. a. Which brand is more reliable. b. Which products are more expandable, versatile. And, my minimum need is to have two desktop computers running simultaneously: Approx 800 watts, max. Four monitors, minimum: probably less than 400 watts. And that would do it for a minimum power demand. Must be able operate for one hour minimum. However, I would then add on to boost to...up to 3 hours. However, the need for 3 hours of backup is not frequent. ============ Then, I am wondering if the internet router JUNCTION BOX outside, SOMEWHERE, has backup power, and how much. If I cannot use internet, just having computers running is pointless. ================= So, part of the minimum requirement is to be able to use the internet for video conferencing, or high speed upload download, with low latency, during a power outage of one hour, minimum, and up to three hours, during a longer outage. (The crazy power here usually comes back online before we reach the three hour mark. But, the power in this are is garbage, for sure.) IF I cannot solve this minimum requirement, then probably must move. Internet and computers are necessities. And, the power workers here, sub station here, probably have no comprehension that reliability of power is directly tied to quality of life, and economic growth. Just how much education they have had is also suspect. Do they even have a world view....haha....who knows. (Do I have a world view, for that matter....probably not.)

Isn't this she? She has turned up brutalized. However, it's also interesting that she had intended to come to Thailand instead of hanging out where she was, and getting into trouble. Far safer for people here in Thailand, IMHO....every time...

Power failures, micro outages, happen 12 months out of the year, rain or shine. However, it is quite interesting that they rarely happen from about 9PM to 6AM....why, I am not sure. Some might say due to less wind at night. But, i don't think this is it. Some might say that fewer animals are running around at night, and this might be a factor. However, why so many micro outages during daytime hours? And, when no wind and no rain? It's a mystery that the power company is puzzled by, apparently.

Bring back two, and send me one, please. I need to use it with a laptop for when the power fails here, which is increasingly often.

But, isn't this the Country for Old Men?

So then, it's permissible to use English to communicate? Or, is there a law against that. The difficulty I mentioned has more to do with intended length of use. If it were possible to sell it if one moves, leaves the country, etc.,, then installing Solar might be easier. Seems to me that this is one of the only major hurdles. Therefore, if this hurdle can be overcome, many more will make the shift to use solar and NOT use the unreliable alternative.

Without solar, then one has a completely unstable and unreliable source of power. In order to actually do anything worth doing, one must have stable and reliable power. So far, stable power is only something one can dream about, without solar. The reliability of the grid here will not improve, judging based on the way reliability has been trending for the past two decades. Therefore, the only solution is for homeowners to supply their own power. But, installing solar here is also easier said than done. If they want to supply services here, and if they bar the competition, then they should at least do it right. Rather than building a railway, they should have first started on the Grid, with a TON of help from China.

Why not? Is there any good reason for this? Isn't OuterSpace free?
