  1. A surprisingly sensible statement from a Government Minister. I assume he will not last long.
  2. My guess is 450 Ohms. No idea whether I am correct as the last time I did physics was 49 years ago.
  3. Could a reverse Flynn Effect explain MAGA (& equivalent in other countries)?
  4. I never knew Pearl Necklaces had such powers.
  5. It is the occurrence of extreme values in terms fo temperature that will cause problems with rice production. This will lead to failure of flowering, and for those that do set seed, abortion of these growing seed embryoes. Impacts will be massive, unfortunately. Temperature like all other weather variables does NOT follow Normal Distributions, but rather Extreme Value Distributions. This is a source of much horror.
  6. So a person might suggest that inadequacies of education need to be fixed as well if the economy is going to get better.
  7. AC not the only answer, very expensive compared to other options. Eat & drink a lot of cold food & beverages including iced drinks/ice cream, stay in shade, grow enough vegetation around your house to provide shade to reduce warmth to maximum possible for ambient conditions (also reduces electricity bill) - reduction may be around 2-3 degrees on average. If you can afford it, get solar panels & batteries, as many as you can afford. Use fans until you actually need AC. Caveat: I like the heat so seldom use AC - coming from Glasgow, I really like the heat. I fully realise that some really dislike excessive heat.
  8. Agree about statement about earning 100k a month. Unlikely to be linked to reality - so where's the evidence. Must have been reading the Thai version of the Daily Mail.
  9. Do you think the Thai Revenue Department cares? Do you think the Thai government cares?
  10. Narrower arteries (aorta the largest of the arteries in your body, first one coming out of the heart) equals higher blood pressure - the silent killer. But I am not a doctor so do not know all the various permutations of symptoms and what they mean. So get a check-up at a good hospital.
  11. Glad I will not be flying in the near future.
  12. Need to consult an oncologist (cancer specialist) as soon as possible on treatment options. I am not a medical doctor only a biologist, so she needs to see the cancer specialist as soon as possible in order to know how bad the diagnosis is, what the prognosis for each of the options, if there are any.
  13. Also, storm surge and storm reach increase. Low-lying Bangkok not a good place to buy property, unless on stilts and stormproofed.
  14. Trump coward runs away.
  15. Make Chiang Mai the capital
  16. Starmer is not leftwing, he is Thatcher lite.
  17. They may be thinking of Chinese gamblers.
  18. The Thai inability to apologise.
  19. The Daily Mail is so far removed from reality, everything it prints needs to be checked.
  20. He seldom will supply evidence for blind true belief.
  21. Minimise all surgery to absolutely necessary all surgery carries risk.
  22. Yes, you do not want the level of pain I suffered. Apart from the 5kg weight gain due to inability to exercise - did not want to move the lower anatomy for obvious reasons!!!
  23. I had a bladder stone, they did lithotripsy (blasting with lasers) but had to shave the prostate so the wee pipes (laser guide, water pipe for irrigation, & camera) could get to a position where they could blast the target. Pain gone, but not back to the previous position in regards to urination although a lot better - 1-3 times a night as opposed to 7-8 times a night. So, all prostate surgeries carry risk, you must assess whether the gain is work the risk. In my case definitely due to pain levels suffered (attack of the cheese-grater levels of pain).
