    My company will shortly be releasing a robotic fishing rod that will enable the owner to open and retrieve grocery items from the porch. No need to bring foods into the house ever again!

     

    It is a long plastic tube with a fishing line which has hooks, mini-knives and magnets attached that are controlled electronically.

     

    Based on the common teddy bear angling machines this technology has been refined to such an extent you can even open cornflakes packets, retrieve each cornflake individually and shower each one with disinfectant before you put it in your mouth.

     

    The disinfectant shower add-on is sold separately.

     

    This product will only be relseased in the USA, but is made in China. If you would like to contribute to the funding of this game changing and life-saving device please send your funding to the bank account details I will send you in reply to your private message.

    My guess is, that with the level of panic out there now, and the expectations of the coming Zombie apocalypse, you will do $10 million in your first month.

    Yeah, their leadership is terrible but whose isn't?  Speaking for myself, I've never met an Iranian I didn't like, in Iran or the US. I hope they find a way to ease restrictions, while at the same time giving support to opposition bodies. I don't see it happening under this regime, or a Biden regime, but I live in hope.

    Biden is a far more reasonable man and he has a heart. Sanctions relief is the right thing to do. The people in Iran are decent people. They have awful leaders. So do we in the US and here In Thailand. It is what it is. Do not make the people suffer and die. That is inane and cruel.

    This may help you.

     

    Don't buy much fruit as it's safe off the trees, but we do launder money now.

     

     

    That is one of the most bizarre videos I have ever seen. I mean everything he says is logical. But, it is such an extreme reaction to all of this. Who is actually going to do everything he suggests? It is just crazy.

  4. He was very sick, and showing major symptoms. There is now video of him getting on the train, and he could barely walk, and was coughing on people without wearing a mask. Officials should be manning every station, and handing out free masks for public transport. He was very sick in Hua Hin, vomiting on the train. Apparently some officials inspected him, and due to a normal temperature, he was allowed to continue his travel. 

     

    So, my question is this. Why go to the extent the officials have gone, in shutting down the nations economy, and then allow this kind of inane recklessness to happen? It is public transport. Public transport by it's very nature is forced social gathering. Why not have officials taking precautions? Is this just staggering incompetence? Or just an oversight? Or is this more damage caused by the ridiculously unqualified health minister Anutin? He needs to be replaced yesterday.

    I can't believe anyone would come here now to work in the dive industry.  Over the last 3-4 years many of Thailand's liveaboards moved to Indonesia and Malaysia.  Now even they are in the same boat (pun intended) as everyone else.  SCUBA in Thailand is just not what it used to be and it was getting harder and harder for the liveaboards to even come close to filling their boats for 4-7 day dive excursions.  Until recently many of these boats that had moved to Indonesia and Malaysia were fully booked months in advance and even had wait lists for trips that were months away.  There are organizations working in conjunction with the Thai Navy harvesting and replanting corals in the many areas that have been devasted by over fishing and from boats dropping their anchors on the coral reefs and from the polluted runoff from what are sometimes torrential rains that wash all the dirt and sewage from the tsreets into the ocean.  Pattaya once had pristine corals and abundant marine life a short ways from the shore.  Now it's a great place to dive if you like sea urchins and little else.  

    My wife and I both got out open water certification on Dark Tao. Worst diving of my life. Ten dives and never visibility better than three to four meters. I can see why the industry is dying. Andaman is far better but like you say, mostly live aboards. Indonesia diving can be stunning. Thailand is not even a pale shadow of that experience. 

     

    And many do not want to have anything to do with Dark Tao, as it's reputation is horrendous. Plus it is really overpriced. Phangan has its charms.
