High-Speed Police Chase Leads to Fatal Accident, Fuels Debate
chickenslegs replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
I think it's important to take into consideration that high speed pursuits can lead to deaths, not only of the suspected criminal but also the police officers and the general public who may, quite innocently, get in the way. Sometimes the "crime" may be of an insignificant nature, but the consequences of the pursuit could be very grave. Of course, nobody wants criminals to go unpunished, but there must be a risk assessment decision in such pursuits, and it should not be made by the pursuing police officer, whose adrenaline rush impairs his judgement. In the UK a pursuing police officer is required to give constant updates about the chase, and the senior officer in the control room makes the decision whether the pursuit is justified, or should be called off. I'm sure this is the same policy in many western countries. -
How do you define intelligence ?
chickenslegs replied to TheFatOne's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
On the subject of intelligence, my old mathematics teacher used to tell the story of Sir Isaac Newton, undoubtedly one of the most intelligent men of all time, and the little known fact that he invented the cat flap. When Sir Isaac installed a new, and smaller, cat flap in the same door people were puzzled. The great scientist explained that his cat was having kittens. -

Chicken factory extortion scandal rocks Thai police force
chickenslegs replied to webfact's topic in Central Thailand News
That must be a rhetorical question. Why? Fear of retribution False prosecution False imprisonment Physical assault Etc. Only the most wealthy and powerful can make a stand against police corruption, and they don't show any signs of wanting to change the status quo. -
What do you think about Ukrainians feeing to Europe?
chickenslegs replied to swissie's topic in The War in Ukraine
I had to look it up. Based upon my knowledge of American food (mainly from watching the Beverley Hill Billies) I was expecting that grits would be the internal organs of some animal (like chitlings). But grits is just a porridge made from corn. -
Fire Sparks Arson Concerns at Rayong Chemical Warehouse

A streak of bad luck for the Win Process company. On the bright side, maybe it has saved them a lot of money in safe disposal fees. -
Wife is leaving her husband. New boyfriend is driving her away in his pick up. Husband chases after her in his old pick up and manages to stop them. Husband takes his gun to insist his wife takes all her remaining belongings with her (the two containers). He doesn't want her to have any excuse to come back.

Swiss Expat Critically Injured in Scooter-Car Crash in Pattaya
chickenslegs replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Sorry, the rule is give way to the vehicle on the left (except at a roundabout, when it is give way to the right). Land Traffic Act 1979, Section 71. Section 71 (500B) [If, when entering a junction, there are other vehicles, the driver must let such vehicles go through first. If two vehicles enter a junction from different directions at the same time, the vehicle on the left side has a right of way, except when there's a designation of "principle roadway" in which case the vehicle on the principle roadway has a right of way.] -

Water tank empty daily, no visible water leaking anywhere
chickenslegs replied to how241's topic in DIY Forum
Then the leak must be on your property. If your pump is cycling, the leak must be after the pump (maybe under the floor of the house. If the pump is not cycling, the leak must be somewhere between the tank and the pump (under the tiled patio?). -

Water tank empty daily, no visible water leaking anywhere
chickenslegs replied to how241's topic in DIY Forum
When your tank is full, close the valve next to your water meter (so water can not flow back). If the water in your tank drains away, you have a leak somewhere on your property. It could even be underneath the house. If the water in your tank does not drain away, the problem is a backflow into the mains supply. This can be caused by someone upstream of your property using a pump to draw water from the mains supply. The solution would be to install a non-return valve between your water meter and your tank, as suggested by @worgeordie above. -

2 foreign men caught performing oral sex at Bangkok Songkran

The guy got bitten by a snake in an unfortunate bodily part. His mate saved his life by sucking out the venom. He should be lauded as a hero. Not many of us have such steadfast friends.- 56 replies

We have been in Chaniang, Mueang Surin since 7 April. Hardly a breath of wind here in that time. However, I have noticed that the weather can be very localised in these very flat areas.
