save the frogs

Most people have some degree of repressed anger. Alcohol seems to bring it out in people.

My (vague) understanding of bitcoin is that is a competitor for government central bank digital currencies, which many govts are preparing to roll out. So govts will cause the value of bitcoin to collapse? At least that's one theory out there. https://futurism.com/harvard-professor-in-the-long-run-the-price-of-bitcoin-will-collapse Bitcoin's price bubble will burst under govt pressure. "It is folly to think that bitcoin will ever be allowed to supplant central-bank-issued money,"

how can it know that it will be the world's 5th largest economy? many other countries will be using AI technology as well ...

the glass on the door was shattered. if there were other people around, he may have harmed them. silly comment.

he was behind the cash ... employees had already left? so what else did he do? threaten the employees?

but not all women are good wives or mothers. some of them are better off staying in the bars.

my main source of carbs is fruit. and milk/dairy also has some carbs. a bit of honey.

the healthiest people are muscular. unless they take steroids. that doesn't count. weight loss alone is not an indicator of health. you can lose weight on a twinkie diet if you consume less calories than you burn. that people lost weight on a rice diet doesn't mean it's a healthy diet.

she was the mastermind? my guesses were: - she drove the getaway car or - she made sure the murderers were well-fed

wow, i predict this thread will get heated!

I lived in China. The air is unbreathable. I was getting sick. Climate deniers are stupid. They're always arguing that "climate change" is a hoax for money. What about filthy unbreathable air? Is that a hoax too? We need clean air !!

and what was the thai bar girl's involvement exactly? bizarre.

good name for a boxer ... fury

And so the AI misinformation begins ... ChatGPT will do a tap dance on people's heads.

who cares? is anyone still reading agatha christie books? maybe if they make a movie out of one of the books, i'll watch.

thai bar girl was involved ... romance scam? so the motive was ..?

it's a beach resort. not a concrete jungle like bkk. so i don't mind. still cheaper than a lot of places.

Yanis Varoufakis on why we should 'let the banks burn' This could be the future of banking. He is saying that people will have a digital wallet that is provided by a central bank ie The Fed in US or the European Central Bank in the Eurozone. So savings are completely safe. No need to insure the savings because they will be on the ledger of the central bank. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbji8utP6dU

lol

that's because Phuket is 5 times nicer than bangkok

in bali the govt may ban tourists from renting motorbikes to crack down on bad behavior.

not sure it's ethical to be rolling out ChatGPT displacing workers without first rolling out an economic solution to solve unemployment. UBI not likely until maybe 2030 ... and maybe not all countries.

That's precisely what they are trying to curtail. If you don't want to concede that driving an hour for a croissant is wasteful ... Well then, they're trying to control you for no apparent reason I guess.

I would try replacing the battery. If it's an old model, it may be difficult to find? Not sure. Check online. It could be just the power cord. I had issues with a power cord once. Try a new power cord. Other than that, no clue.

The birth of St John the Baptist is celebrated on June 24th -- around the time of the summer solstice. The birth of Jesus is December 25th -- around the time of the winter solstice. Is it a coincidence that 2 of the main characters in the Bible had their birthdays around the time of each solstice and we only celebrate these? Why don't we celebrate Mother Mary's birthday? Could it be that these characters in the Bible are symbolic representations of the solstices as opposed to real people?
