  1. Quite similar to some Martial Arts where Chi (Life Force) is considrered to emerge from a more central part of the body.
  2. Well the PM can say anything but the talks might require signing on the dotted line..will they want to do that and annoy China?
  3. Well she doesn't look injured...but she ain't gonna be so happy when the police arrive that is if someone did call them...?
  4. Maybe Thailand will reciprocate by deporting all American expats...care of Aeroflot
  5. I think many people were/are confused. A few years ago one NASA flight controller made some comparisons. He argued that when a car is relaced by the next version why does it take years to get the new verson on the road when the new version may already have 90% of the older model's characteristics? He made the same comparison with aircraft. He argued that using newer technology means more precision which the aged systems might not be able to accommodate. Therefore, it means starting from scratch with the new tecnology. That is, testing the new technology with unmanned launches first. Others have argued that the old molds atc. were destroyed to make way for different programs and building new infrastructure. I am not an engineer or machine designer so I just take their word for it. Well, whatever the reason they'd better get 'move on' because I read today that the asteroid that had a 3.1% of hitting Earth in 2032 (but now less chance) has a bigger chance of hitting the moon. 🙂
  6. Aliphatics have been known to exist in meteorites for years and this could also be the reason for their presence on Mars. Chains up to C31H64 have been detected but how such chemicals got there is still a matter of research. Aliphatics are known to be present in Interstellar dust and identified on the surface of the dwarf planet Ceres.
  7. My condolences. As with all contact sports they are tough and rough. Shame that Mr Rinomhota wasn't able to gain more experience in his chosen sport. Sad.
  8. You are commenting about deceny and morals but discussing them is more about philosophy. Both are subjective. '...sell T-shirt of a deceased loved one with a profanity' while I would agree it would be disagreeable it would still be subjective. Approaching the seller and arguing with them would not achieve much since it was for sale in the first place. Now, if it was on some TV debate then some discussion might (or might not) have some influence. What a Thai seller might consider, is if the display of such T-shirts would be detrimental to their making a living. However, that would have to be proved. Complaining that such items displays insensitivity is hardly proof.
  9. Decency is subjective. I would agree that such T-shirts might offend veterans of war or those affected by atrocities of war but there will be others who don't preceive it that way. As I have commented previosly, as long as the seller is within THAI LAW...
  10. Perhaps I misunderstood...what about the Bimetric devices?
  11. The OP is about Thailand and T-shirts and not the USA!
  12. Here we are again. A non-political OP about Thailand and you have to come up with a rant about Pres. Trump in the USA.
  13. As long as the shop is selling within Thai Law then there is no problem. Don't like the produce, don't buy it.
  14. When 'mother nature' strikes...I hope those trapped inside managed to survive though with that vertical collapse it would seem unlikely. I suppose with the current political situation in Myanmar news from there will be slow.
  15. If one enjoys a political discussion then I don't see any problem. The problem I see is when the OP isn't primarily about politics yet some insert a political comparison comment (mostly, I notice, from a USA view).
  16. Those with Trisomy and other unusual chromosome structure suffer disorders which are either easily diagnosed or visually appraent (Down & Edward syndrome etc.) and they aren't likely to enter mainstream sports. What you are listing is fine if we are disussing the populace in general but the OP is specifically about World Sport.
  17. The UK also has a form if one is taxed twice https://www.gov.uk/tax-uk-income-live-abroad/taxed-twice...have other countries got similar?
  18. I don't know if this is important or not but when I mentioned the DTA to the official he also wanted to know how much tax I had already paid on pension income. I showed the tax statement and he coverted that to ฿. Now whether he was just curious or not I don't know but I did not pay any tax (Thai)
  19. My condolences. Hope the injured recover soon. I hope the attacker gets life in prison.
  20. Aound half of the comments are political / E. Musk (started by JoePai), when the OP is about EV / Tesla popularity in Thailand. Surely, in Thailand people buy their EV's for the characteristics / performance of a EV and services provided? The comments read like overspill from the USA
  21. Some sentence is better than nothing I suppose...though I wonder if the owner will be out in less.
  22. Putting total trust in just one book where the stories cannot be verified by direct observation, goes a lot further than licking boots.
  23. There is a bigger problem with the vraious flat Earth models, including that particular geocentric illustration. Depending on what model one looks at the Sun is claimed to be somewhere between 3000-5000 miles (4828-8047 km) above the surface and that means the Sun is a great deal smaller than the 109 Earth diameters as measured by astronomers. The first problem is that no matter where you are on the Earth (globe or flat) the Sun angular size is a little over 0.5o. But on a FE models it would only have that angular size if the sun was directly overhead and moving away the Sun would appear progressivly smaller. This doesn't happen on the globe Earth because the Sunn is so far away that moving from one country to another hardly makes any difference. But there is a bigger problem. The current value for the amount of the Sun's energy on the Earth is about 342 Watts per square meter and as you know, the Sun's energy is important for life on Earth. On a FE it will be just as important. However, the Sun is much smaller on a FE and with an angular size of 0.5o and 5000 miles above the diameter of the Sun would only be about 44 mile (just over 70 km). So how is it that something so small can continuosly over many years, supply us with that much energy?
