What are you cooking today? (2025)
black tabby12345 replied to black tabby12345's topic in Western Food in Thailand
Great dish. Filling and well-balanced in nutrition(with plenty of vegetables) as well. Please allow me one question. Are the potatoes unpeeled? -
Her Real Employer might be such people. If that idiot is creating so much of the negative images of what she is supposedly 'Advocating', the Perfect Adverse Effect can be caused. If so, that is the very smart tactics. Hiding own hands, and make the Hight Profile Noise Maker work for them instead... Israel(MOSAD) has even sent German-born Jewish man(Woflgang Lotz) into Egypt Under the cover of former Nazi Officer in 1960s and his mission was hugely successful(high level of Egyptian miliary intelligence was obtained). So what looks like doesn't always really stand for what they intend to do...

engage in acts such as setting fire to Cook's Cottage, destroying colonial monuments, and toppling statues. One repost read, “Burn them all... Normally, this kind of words are deemed Inciting Crimes in Australia. Or Conspiracy charges will be laid against, in many other civilized countries. Also perfectly fitting into the category of Hate Speech itself. That bit*h deserves to be deported to where she really belongs to.

As long as the current relaxed visa waiver scheme goes on, not much point to spend extra money on the broker. In the past, I have relied on those agents a few times though. After September 2006, Thai immigration started to become much less friendly toward the long term visa-waiver(visa run) expats. Saying no continuous stay more than 90 days out of 180 in a year(in case of visa-free entrants). Then a lot of peoples started to switch to Tourist Visa(from Thai embassy in the neighboring countries). Eventually, Thai embassies started to limit the numbers of the Tr Visas they issue to one foreigner. I actually know someone who got No More Tourist Visa To You Stamp on his passport back in 2013. And it turned even worse after military takeover in the summer of 2014. Visa-waiver entry was allowed only Twice in One Calendar Year. They also started to demand additional papers to apply for the Tr Visa at their embassies as well(return ticket, hotel reservation etc). That practice went on till the end of its regime in 2023. Compared to the 2008-2023 period, their visa policy changed completely as you can see today...

Renting is far more stress free. It also gives you more freedom. What if you may got tired of here(for some reasons) in any future? If you are just paying month to month, you can move as soon as you change your mind. But once you buy one, it will make a shackle of your life. It simply creates more otherwise needless concerns.

Earth’s Hottest Year: 2024 Breaks Global Temperature Records
black tabby12345 replied to Social Media's topic in World News
After all, in terms of environment, the fundamental human intelligence seems little evolve since the Ice Man Age(except for the technological aspect). General perception: As long as the present time is reasonably comfortable/livable, no real concern for the coming era. Actually, Even the Primitive men are said to have wiped out nearly 90% of the animal species when they moved from the ancient North America to the southern end of the 2 continents. Even without bow and arrows(their very first method was Drive Hunting; group of people dash and chase horde of herbivores as they yelled. Then the animals panic and run to one direction(cliff) to get killed by fall. That is how the small weak humans managed to take huge creatures like Mammoth. After the Industrial Revolution, nation with the advanced technology got a power to change the state of nature. That's where the Global Temperature started be affected by human presence. Total Co2 emission in the past 200 years is said to be greater than the whole past before that... -
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... -

From the accident to crime case. One misjudgment in a critical moment, makes all the difference. Jumping proper care, then he is the Bad Guy cops come for. -

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.
