Is that what they said or is that what you imagine they might say?

It would be interesting to know exactly what they felt threatened by.

It's clear the IDF intentionally shot those three men. What's not clear is if they knew they were Israelis or believed them to be Palestinians.

Also: A French Foreign Affairs Ministry official was killed by an Israeli bombardment in Gaza on Saturday. "It is with great sadness that the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs has learned of the death of one of its agents, who died of injuries sustained during an Israeli bombardment in Rafah, in the south of the Gaza Strip," the ministry said in a statement published on Saturday. The French authorities also "demanded that the Israeli authorities shed full light on the circumstances of this bombardment as soon as possible." "A dozen members of the family of one of our agents also died in the bombing." https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2023/12/18/french-foreign-affairs-ministry-official-killed-by-israeli-bombardment-in-gaza_6354377_4.html

The IDF policy seems to be that if you have not left Gaza, you will be viewed as a terrorist, the implication being that you will be killed. GAZA, Oct 22 (Reuters) - Palestinians said they had received renewed warnings from Israel's military to move from north Gaza to the south of the strip, with the added warning that they could be identified as sympathisers with a "terrorist organisation" if they stayed put. The message was delivered in leaflets marked with the Israel Defense Forces name and logo from Saturday and sent to people via mobile phone audio messages across the Gaza Strip, a narrow territory that is just 45 km (28 miles) long. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israel-tells-gazans-move-south-or-risk-being-seen-terrorist-partner-2023-10-22/

The C25 breaker seems to be for a water heater [ น้ำอุ่น = warm water ].

I've had that experience (once) but it wasn't in a near death experience, it was in a sporting situation. Everybody else was in slowmo but I wasn't. It was a short (a few seconds) but interesting experience that I wish I could replicate. It's my belief that the brain can sometimes do different and unexpected things to us and that was one of them. Perhaps NDEs are the same as the people are still alive but their minds and bodies are not in their usual state.

Maybe you're right, SAFETY FIRST, maybe you aren't. Siwiek can let us know. I would like clarification on one part of the OP that seems unusual to see what they really meant. There's nothing wrong with that.

I wonder if we have misunderstood what the OP meant when he wrote "picks me out of the line". Perhaps the OP was actually at the immigration desk at the time the IO spoke to him and then the IO took the OP from there to somewhere else - rather than being in the middle of a queue and suddenly being pulled out. Being at the desk would make more sense because the IO would have the OP's travel history in front of him and would be more likely to be in a position deem denial of entry would be best. @siwiek Can you clarify the situation and confirm if you were actually at the IO's desk at the time he took you aside, please?

My guess is that the IO only wanted to see the OP's boarding passes so he knew (and had evidence of) exactly which flight the OP had arrived on, so presumably Immigration could then return the OP from where he came.

If the wattage is for example 500 watts you can work out the power consumption simply by multiplying the wattage by the number of hours. The voltage is irrelevant to that calculation. 500w x 12 hrs = 6kw hours. .

Nowadays you can do both. In the old days when ordinary consumers mostly bought incandescent lamps, knowing the wattage was enough because you could compare the light given from one lamp to another using watts because all/most lamps used the same inefficient technology. A 100w bulb gave off more light than a 60w bulb and a 60w bulb gave off more light than a 40w bulb. The same went for the old fluorescent tubes, but they were more efficient than incandescent lamps. However, nowadays modern lamps/bulbs such as LED lamps are much more efficient than the old technology incandescent lamps but incandescent lamps are still available (and people still buy light bulbs thinking in watts) so manufacturers try to help consumers by adding extra information such as equivalent wattage and/or the lumens given off by the lamp. Wattage still refers to power and lumens to light but you can use the information to compare products and buy something that suits your needs. For example, a 13.5w LED lamp that I recently bought gives off 1521 lumens and the manufacture states that this is the equivalent of a 100w incandescent bulb. Light given off 1521 lumens. Old technology 100w power usage. New technology 13.5w power usage. The bulb uses 13.5 watts of power but the light given out is equivalent to a 100 watt incandescent bulb.

Wattage relates to power. Light is usually expressed in Lumens.

You can still contradict posts by members who have you on ignore. They might not read your post but you can still contradict them.

My wife like lamb, my daughter likes it, my sister-in-law likes it and her daughter likes it. All Thai, all like lamb. As said earlier, Tops usually have legs of lamb, and depending on where you live there might be other options available. There used to be a shop in Nong Khai that sold legs of lamb.

A name in the house book does not indicate ownership of the property. It just states who "officially" lives there - even if they don't actually live there.

"a local horse racing track which has been closed for four years." "The track, located within the Suranaree Army Camp, has been closed since February 28 this year," Four years have passed since February 28 this year? Oh my, how time flies!!

A foreign woman approached by a foreign man. Shocking. How dare they.

So bikerlou47 and lambaci are you both on what some people call the keto diet?

It sounds a lot but isn't that only an average of about 50,000 baht each? (3.5 billion divided by 71,000). Any maths teachers here? .

It's my view that police at roadblocks in Thailand usually focus on only one thing. For example: helmets licences drink driving drugs illicit goods I've been stopped at roadblocks a few times but waved on many more times, presumably because I didn't fit the profile of the kind of driver they were looking for.

I hope you chose the option to go to the police station. Time is money. Going to the police station with you means less time for the cop to make money at the side of the road. IME, you'll be waved in with a polite warning to be more careful next time.

I prefer black tea to green tea. I add milk to my black tea but not to my green tea. I don't add sugar to my tea but when I was a lot younger I added it to my black tea.
