  1. As a little research shows it has been and always was . A vague connection to an unidentifiable Hongkong entity at some point in time. Ah well, all is fair in luv and wah .
  2. Some may be ardent recyclers ?
  3. I have not been here long . If the mentality as of above is to be encouraged then I will be gone .
  4. So what happens ? Do we automatically get gravitated to a new platform, be required to re-enlist , or just carry on being numb?
  5. I also do have t express surprise that New Zealand has such status in the realm of aviation industry. Kiwi are very far away from most places and are famous as flightless birds. Then again an NZ farmer beat the Wright bothers in achieving powered flight even though his machine had no controls. It crashed but satisfied the ambitions of the farmer !
  6. It does seem to provide a sad example of things to come if and when the announced "media merger" eventuates in some alternative platform. To the point of serious contemplation as to the veracity of information.....on all considerations. I have been shown examples of extraordinary false bs that is now routine content on FB . Is this the beginning of the end ?
  7. In Thailand the term "High blood" is often used to refer to blood sugar levels. And for most people over 50 seem to almost brag that they have "high blood". The correlation with sucrose intake probably is correct. Sadly I know several westerners who seem to believe their daily intake of zero coke compensates for exactly the same diagnosed problem with insulin variables ! Type 2 diabetes is a positive cash cow to big pharma and nobody questions the pandemic. It is beyond epidemic !
  8. Back before covid and a couple of other events screwed up the situation there was a border crossing into Cambodia where Sidegra was available at 50 bht a pack of 4 tabs. Yes it was real . Origin an Indian Pharmaceutical Company. Also a variety of other medicinal compounds most of which legend has it were bogus and/or dangerous.
  9. I would guess the same applies to calmatives ?
  10. I refuse to watch justification. If the school is a private institution then ok but if a gvt. school then no way.
  11. Why would this be some cause for surprise? Thailand is well placed to be a manufacturing center for ev vehicles given proximity to neighbouring markets with obvious need of supply for batteries. Objections to the concept of ev is irrelevant to the commercial interest in profiting from it. \ People need wake up to the fact that the traditional faces of global corporate is rapidly changing . Not for better. Just changing.
  12. If nothing else Trump has engineered a media fascination that he probably assumes will boost his media profile. How long now before his sycophantic investors realize he has blown their savings?
  13. I would agree that overall speed is last in issues that would justify serious application of infringement penalties. Unfortunately the final factor in many serious fatal accidents is the established speed at which events involving many/all of the common elements Thai drivers contribute to sad outcomes.
  14. In reality what can be considered worse than annihilation nuclear or other? I'm personally not in agreement with the concept of martyrdom for politically entitled freaks mindlessly endangering global populations with slow radiation death. Populations invariably submit to authoritarian control willingly or unwillingly eventually. The worst is when false cause is used to create a change in authoritarian control for and to the financial advantage of the relatively few who desire the power it provides well beyond the simplistic consumerist satisfaction or avoidance of criminal culpability . Provide me with examples of a governing body who's controlling members are in real terms joe/jane average in wealth or below ! Piers Morgan is a disciple winner of Trump's Apprentice farce. Naturally he suffers a degree of bias syndrome (BS)
  15. An escalation of mid east conflict directly involving Iran would greatly impact on the entire world economically. Humanitarian not so much because the major players don't care already. Suez traffic would probably cease because the Straits of Hormuz as a bottle neck would be death trap for trade vessels. Even current risk aversion is having an impact. Oil trade? Nuclear armaments are suicidal retaliatory weapons at best and worst.
  16. Is this positive or negative news in general opinion? The article in the above link does not read well for either side. Falling advertising revenue seems to be a common theme in many media downgrades now. Is it inevitable when so much public focus is on the small screen 24/7 ?
  17. So Netanyahu is determined to compound his maniacal desire to perpetuate escalation of conflict. Let him take Israel down that path but let him do it alone.
  18. To kill the food fattening properties of rice ( starch) freeze it . Your bread products too.( There is science in that advice). Beware the chemical content of cabbages. Peel and not just scrub carrots but they will still be orange with the lights off. Only eat before sunset or after sunrise.
  19. Your post script sentence reveals a degree of naivety I think. Govt. Agencies are never immune to political whims ! If outside of influence then eliminate eliminate !
  20. It seems that US Law condones using political campaign funds to selectively pay legal fees just so long as you have honest book keepers. If it were not so Trump would long have been evicted pending foreclosure on near all properties associated with his tarnished crown. His gullible sycophantic fans will never reap expected rewards . Quite the opposite more likely. Let the US have him. Just don't whine when the rest of the real world spits the dummy well and proper .
  21. The aluminium foil works well but your problem would be to suspend it . If appearance is not important that could be achieved using wires, mesh or light wooden sheeting. I used thin plywood and slid styrene sheets into the space created on a leanto roof at original house.
