A peacock.

Saw one in the wild about 10 days ago while in the hills on my 15-year-old Honda Wave.

Malay Muslim freedom fighters

Or remnants of the Malay communist party beaten and escaped to Thailand in the 1960's.

The crews are all Philippino's and Indians.

 

Working on a merchant ship you are away from your family for many months at a time getting a meagre hourly wage. 

 

Again more 8ollocks from someone with a meagre understanding of the world. My friend is responsible for keeping your precious roustabout rigs on station. For that he needs a Master's ticket not a survival suit and a helicopter ticket.

Hey, if I'm antagonized, I'm not going to shut up, I'll retaliate.

 

As you said

Sadly a lot of small businesses selling such stuff have disappeared and been replaced by condos. Try your local market for a store selling buttons and notions.

^ Sounds a bit evangelical🧐

I got a  ticket for moving into the  middle  lane (100)  doing 120 (outer lane 120), stupid rule really, forces you to stay only in the outer lane even when all three are empty.........didnt pay it

That is a new one on me. Not many three-lane roads up here.

Unless of course it was near an exit and there was a solid line.

Always been a hatchback man, at heart.

That's just another aspect of geophysics relating to glacial ice melt.

Yes but slightly older than "since 1990's" so not related to the human timescale.

Turns out when approaching a U-Turn section on the highway you must reduce your speed to 90klm, there were no signs on the road saying this.

The 120 is only for motorways/roads with no junctions or U-turns. The reduction to 90 when there is a U-turn is a weird asian interpretation but correct.

What is happening is that the mass of ice at the poles that melts ends up becoming part of the water bulge of oceans at the equator. Just like a figure skater can slow a spin by extending arms outward, the added mass at the equator means the Earth spins slightly slower.

Another theory says the planet is swelling a little and becoming rounder because the surface pressure of the ice from the ice age has been removed.

Did you ever lay with a Maduran woman while you were there?

Not that I know of but recently I was told on an Indo. forum that it is not a rumour.

I didn't have a problem and I found Indonesia quite pleasant.🧐

However, officers managed to identify him by his footwear.

Rookie mistake🧐

Anyone who has ever owned a toy gyroscope will know it is the wide bit at the equator that will have the most effect not the small diameter bit at the top. 

The core on the other hand will have an effect and no amount of electric cars will effect that change.

Yes, it has a digital keypad and a key lock. I've always been using the key to physically open it as I don't know the digital code to open it.

Well, it is a bit late now, horse bolted and such but, you should have reset the code before you started using it. 

What you have done is akin to locking a scooter key under the seat. You will only do it once. 

No keypad?

A large boat being the requirement. Not so easy to operate by a small group.

The guys in the engine room do not know where they are. Only the helmsman has actual control of the wheel and the engine movement requests. But there will be a small group of watch officers on the bridge with him.
