A cry for help, to the Universe, from Planet Earth.
parallelman replied to Jeff the Chef's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Maybe AI will get rid of us...then Ai will have robots dig giant qarries for minerals to build more robots. Then they realize that they have achieved the same end as human and will therefore selfdistruct. Or a giant asteroid somewhere out there will strike...what am I saying? Gee, what a way to start the day... -

Trump Starts Global Tariff Wall, Thailand Hit with 36% Tax

Maybe Thailand will reciprocate by deporting all American expats...care of Aeroflot -
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. 🙂

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.

British Man Dies After First Muay Thai Fight on Koh Samui
parallelman replied to Georgealbert's topic in Koh Samui News
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. -
Bangkok Shop Owner Defends Right to Sell Controversial Shirts
parallelman replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
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. -
Bangkok Shop Owner Defends Right to Sell Controversial Shirts
parallelman replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
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... -

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. -

As long as the shop is selling within Thai Law then there is no problem. Don't like the produce, don't buy it. -
Earthquake Rocks Bangkok: Building Collapses with 40 people inside
parallelman replied to CharlieH's topic in Thailand News
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. -
World Athletics Introduces Gender Testing for Female Track Athletes
parallelman replied to Social Media's topic in World News
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. -

Pension Tax Filing Report - Rejected
parallelman replied to patrickl's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
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) -
Putting total trust in just one book where the stories cannot be verified by direct observation, goes a lot further than licking boots.
