Earth’s Hottest Year: 2024 Breaks Global Temperature Records
black tabby12345 replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Personally, my prediction for the world's future is pretty pessimistic. I am glad I am already old enough not to live another 40-50 years. Practicing Minimalist Way of life for many years. Still, nearly spending 100 times more energy than the man 150 years ago... Power and water supply round the clock at fingertip. Able to eat whatever hour it is. Able to speak to someone on the other end of the world. Crossing the borders with comfort in the sky. Benefit of all of the modern conveniences and Environmental Moral Dilemma... So getting all the fruit and vegetable scraps(uneatable parts) to the rabbits. Bones to the strays in the street; my Daily Chore. This way, I can more or less get off the Sense of Guilt to those who have to live another half a century after my death... -

Earth’s Hottest Year: 2024 Breaks Global Temperature Records

In other words, the wealthier first world countries are simply pushing aside their problems to Somewhere Else(they cannot see): AKA Pollution Export. The same happening even among the West as well. While Germany abolished their nuke power stations in 2023 (after Japan's Fukushima Nuclear Disaster in 2011), they started to buy power from their neighbor (France). Regarding nuclear power generation, once they start it, they will be forever haunted by its curse (even after its decommissioning). They need to make sure radioactive toxin won't go outside; have to bury the reactor under huge amount of concrete. That process is called sarcophagus which costs astronomical expenses (for the future generations). It is said to take 100000 years till radiation dose halves... At the same time, renewable energy technologies aren't almighty either; much less than most people expect. Its efficiency and reliability are known to be far less than fossil fuel method; unable to generate the same amount of energy year around(depending the area and climate though). Solar power device is said to break down well before its EPT(energy payback time) is fulfilled. Mankind seems to be straightly heading for the Dead End by all means. So many mouths to feed. So much more energy needed. But the available resources are slimming. And the New Technologies aren't decisive enough. Unless truly Revolutionary Paradyme Shift in energy and way of life take place. -

Even when they started to make it in own country, they can be far from becoming self-sufficient in banana culture. The primary issue is its price; pretty prohibitive. As their production cost(including their labor) is a lot more than the major exporters outside Japan(3rd world countries). You will be stunned if you check out the price of their Locally Produced Banana(including the one from Okinawa); often costs $50-100 for 1kg or less. While it only costs a $1(for 4-5 pieces) or so at their supermarkets, in case of those from Brazil or the Philippines. -

Global Warming impact. No wonder they started to grow banana in the mainland of Japan in recent years. Previously, their climate was too cold for its growth(other than subtropical Okinawa and the Ogasawara isles). But things are changing; their summer heat is just as immense as here these days...

Bangkok Taxi Driver Slashes Passenger's Face in Violent Attack

Salute to the instant vigilante who seized that dangerous thug on wheels. The text didn't say anything about victim's nationality. So looks like a Thai-to-Thai incident. -

Yellow noodle in clear soup with egg, ham and bite-sized cooked vegetables(okra, cabbage, and carrot). Soup made from the scratch; no ready-made stuff. -
Women (and men) of all races, colours, creeds, faiths etc are lining the streets brassing themselves off, day and night... If you are talking about Pattaya, it is all about what Sin City is...

A fundraising campaign has been launched to cover the costs of repatriating Regan’s body... ------------------------------------ Out of my curiosity, I checked out the cost of dead man's extradition from Thailand to UK with google. And found something unexpected. To my surprise, there is an airline specialized in the travel of the deceased. Literary a Flight of the Dead... International Remains Shipping

You could've warned me guys !

A good idea. In order to wash your bottom after toileting, this simply device is extremely cost effective and versatile, also useful for cleaning purpose. It is quite reliable;suits all environment(water quality doesn't matter). And significantly cheaper than the high-tech stuff below. Auto shower may fail in the area of hard water(with higher mineral contents); its duct may be eventually clogged(by the buildup of sediments inside).
