Our "reliable media outlet" wrote: I bit of digging turned up SEC public hearing on a digital asset regulatory sandbox to promote tourism industry (my emphasis): Thus, no sandbox is to be introduced. The SEC seeks public comments for such. No mention of specific "digital tokens" in the post above. The links at the bottom of the article don't work properly with my browser.

Exactly what I was thinking. The article is short on details.

That was my first thought. then I realised with "Delayed End" you don't have to know anything about cycle length. It saves you having to do one mathematical operation and having to know the intimate details of your appliance's wash cycles.

Do you mean decline in house prices? If so, that might be a good thing on the average (assuming enough jobs remain to pay people to live in the cheaper housing).

The IPCC beg to differ. In AR6 https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/syr/figures/figure-3-4 Most media climate doom merchants implicitly use SSP5-8.5 (> 3C warming by 2100), but that is no longer considered likely. Instead up to 2C is likeliest at the moment and this trajectory can also change. Decarbonisation proceeds apace, despite the prognostication of government. "Official" climate change explainers neglect that SSP5-8.5 has been unlikely for many years (not least because it assumes more coal than exists would be burned). Unfortunately it tends to form the basis for government policy responses. Makes sense to me. I assume you'd need to plan to counter both sea level rise and Venice-like sinking.

Ditto. Round the opposite side of the lake from Sakon Nakhon. I don't like Thai cities much. OK to visit for a few hours. Having said that, we were in Ubon Ratchathani last week. Buddha event with wax candles and visiting my wife's cousin. Compared to SK it seemed big (maybe wealthy) enough to have a greater variety of stuff than S-K and was nowhere near as ugly and built-up as Krung Thep. I wouldn't want to live in the city but the suburbs are more accessible since there isn't a bloody big lake in the way. Maybe get the Chinese to build a fly-over? 😉

Is Garden Cliff on or near the edge of a cliff? That might be a different kind of crashing down, if you acquire my drift. Anyway, the cure for high prices is (eventually) high prices: https://search.brave.com/search?q=bitcoin+will+suck+value+from+real+estate+in+thailand&source=web&summary=1&conversation=f7e7c8988751424fd7d8fc Food for thought.

It's always wise to be skeptical about what you read/ view/ hear in the MSM. Their political masters and advertisers largely decide what is news and how to spin the message. Serious question: Are journalists in Thailand allowed by law to report anything no matter how true it is, if you see what I mean?

Pun intended?

Interesting. Those rpms are typical hard disk drive (spinning disk version) rotation rates.

Well done! You have successfully gaslighted yourself. In any case, what you asked was not strictly relevant to what I asked. https://x.com/i/grok/share/46JKiK5fnw2P4VDhuqtHLxWRW - Grok is asked to answer in the style of Long John Silver, since we are talking about a kind of piracy. Also see the post by Johng above this one.

I think the word "safe" is being used here in a context I am not familiar with. If he's referring to safe in all humans, and no human of any age in any condition would never have an adverse reaction at all, then I suppose I agree. Stillwagon points out (perhaps by splitting hairs) that no vaccine prevents infection, since even the vaccine prompts an immune response, and then of course the body is supposed to produce and store memories of antibodies to the vaccine. He also discusses adjuvants, preservatives and inflammation response as he describes how vaccines work. This has nothing to do with "safety" per se. I immediately thought about smallpox. This one has a high kill rate. I'd much prefer to have a primed immune system in case I caught that nasty virus. Perhaps the other chemicals in a vaccine vial need some attention.

In order: I don't and I do. I was kind of poking fun at the comment poster.

Before I moved here, I asked their support via in-app chat and they told me I couldn't. I have been here over a year now and I haven't closed the account yet. I expect they will come after me for some KYC at some point so I don't use the account any more.

My first thought was "I wonder if the outgoing APIC members have any conflicts of interest?" Conflicts of Interest Disclosures of ACIP Members The corrupt revolving door of vaccine bureaucrats is worse than you think - Daniel Horowitz, July 09, 2024

Which versions of COVID-19 vaccine prevented transmission and of which variants? As an aside, which versions immunised against COVID-19 - what was the success rate?

Anti-vaxxers would not want it, by definition.

I haven't done a Revolut THB transfer for a while, so this might no longer be correct... Revolut do not have bank accounts in Thailand. When you send THB from Revolut they simply send from outside Thailand to the target bank. Most if not all Thai banks hit you for a fee for incoming THB. I thought it was THB 300, but that was a long time ago. In any case I will have to close my Revolut account as one is not allowed to have a Revolut account when resident in Thailand.

Strictly speaking, when you use the app you're using The Internet. WWW != The Internet. SCB don't support web-based banking. I have to use the app.

I'd have a headache too if I was rocking that barnet.

Unobtainable Unrealistic

Trump might object to "Trans".

Maybe took off his shirt after the last check before boarding?

This won't end well.

I'd add their vaccination record to the mix. Edit: Have they given up naming the COVID-19 variants?
