oh, please... it's not AI that is awful, it's how people use, it's a tool, a very powerful tool, just like a gun, how do you use a gun? careful how do you use AI? careless that sums it up. I create tools with AI, use it for almost most of my job, rely on it, cant be effective anymore without it. then there are the people who has no clue about anything... posting here.

In the 90s I used to go to Koh Samet and Koh Samui often as a teen, with friends from uni, etc. so fun! good weed everywhere and cheaper than beer, nothing like it is today full of crazy cheap drugs. we rented really nice bungalows with aircon for like 400-600B/night, sometimes camped in the beach too and had parties. then I revisited in 2015 and it was already 1500-2000B/night, the same places I used to stay for 400B/night. That was one of the best times of my life in Thailand. Now a days also good, no debt, 😄

oh man, how awesome was Bangkok and most of Thailand before Thaksin. I don't know exactly what really changed in Thailand but I can tell 30 years ago was amazing, then things changed a lot in early 2000's , After his the war on drugs, it seems the crimes increased and there is just so much artificial cheap drugs just everywhere, it's insane how bad it is now. Pubs are no where are as nice and relaxed as in the 90s here. I remember telephone pub, quite famous, then route66 opened. damn, good old days! and at least Silom was not the trash it is today!

Funny how so many people here fall for it and give their miserable replies. so pitiful Bob, please bring in more of your stories! I love the one from the other day.

That's the way ! BTC is the only true value, gov cant touch, cant print, cant take away!

Just to emphasize, a 60kwh BYD Blade battery costs 600,000 baht to import from China and another 100,000 baht in some fees. That’s why Insurance companies are gone nuts with price hiking in insurance. Having repairable batteries could bring back the insurance cost back to where it is same or cheaper than ICE cars. Tesla Battery Pack are repairable, but I for sure they can’t be repaired in Thailand and likely getting imported packs from China, or just call it totaled.

They used to be very expensive before, now not so much. Now a days you can get the ex30, for 1.9mBaht , which I think is a ripoff, unless the battery is repairable in Thailand. Then maybe not so much of a bad deal for consumers. BYD batteries are non-repairable but they are a lot cheaper and priced really good, you gotta give them the hats on that. The sea lion7 destroys de EX30 on all aspects, and cost 600k cheaper (1.3mBaht) Volvo by opening battery repair facilities is really a big deal. They could even repair batteries from Malaysia and Singapore.

I test drove this beast today. It is a BEAST, that 690NM of torque is insane. I drove in ECO mode, and it feels like ATTO3 in sport mode. I will likely get the RWD with 380NM. Space is so good, very large, tech is amazing and feeling so luxurious. I'm hooked on this car, tried all other in the same range, didnt like any. but this is it! something as good as my Toyota Fortuner Legender but purely EV. This is the closest to that car.

The challenge here is the police managing to get their laptops any crypto wallet unlocked. When it comes to this, the dirty police going to get a back over their head and make them unlock their BTC wallets, only then they get deported back to cheeseland. or like the Silkroad guy, that apparently "suicide" on jail after his BTC wallets got drained. Most criminals love Crypto, they keep their crypto wallet locked until they are released.

I'm actually really enjoying this show? who isn't? 🤣 🤣

I really enjoyed reading it, thanks man. Please bring more in!!!!

Now Imagine a China with an unlimited source of clean energy. Just imagine, since today their energy requirement is so large, they need to burn coal. what will that mean for the rest of the world, china without need to use coal or hydro, and with new cheap electricity. Because if they achieve that with Fusion energy, and I think they will very soon, it will put China in a position, kind of game over to the trade tariff wars...

Of course, and that is why both Trump and Musk knows very well that only BTC can't be printed. China is just too strong now in both Goods Manufacturing, Technology and LLM. TRUMP can try to put brakes on the goods manufacturing, he is trying hard to stop Chinese beast of technology by the EV cars tax BS, but that will only put a dent in the Dragon. Just look at the DeepSeek, that was a glorious blow to the USA and the rest of world. Trump will not be able to stop China technological domination even with crazy Taxing. if you dont know Deepseek, it can perform as good and even better in some areas than OpenAI, Claude and Facebook's LlamaAI, and still spend 1/10 of the required processing power and energy. It may sound like no big deal right? it is a huge deal! the power required for AI is really a lot, look at the price of an Nvidia H100 or H200 , with Deepeek I can run it on my mac!

Modern airplanes are much safer when only 1 out of 2 engines are working. The thrust, compensation and balance are all automatically handled by the computers. It would be impossible for the pilots to do that on the fly. They just need to fly the airplane with less available power and maneuverability. with only 1 engine: Pilots just need to be aware and trained of performance limitations. They need to plan a higher approach speed than normal, low speed with 1 engine can be very dangerous. Longer runway needed for landing roll due to reduced reverse thrust.

In Thailand the one thing you gotta learn: don't mess or piss off people with money or with police connections! your life can become very miserable, a friend in the police force told me many times and still tell me today. I can also say from own experience
