I hope someone is QA'ing these injections.. Hopefully its not just water

Would you trust AI to decide who lives and who dies?

Be sure you get a PCR test.   The antibody test is not valid for travel in most airlines/countries.

This site https://harddrivegeek.com/ssd-temperature/ says most SSDs are good up to 70C but with the rider that the life of the memory may be reduced at high temperatures.

 

Using the suggested Open Hardware Monitor https://openhardwaremonitor.org/downloads/ the SSDs in my laptop (aircon office) are buzzing at 50C and 56C but my lappie runs hot at the best of times.

 

The rotating hard drives in my NAS which is not in an A/C space do get pretty warm when working hard, over 50C even with the case fans at full speed. Adding a desk fan to the equation moves them into the "acceptable" range. In reality they spend the vast majority of their time spun down and cool.

 

Is your laptop trying to update to win10?  We just had a laptop come in for some issues and AV expired and was trying to d/l and run win10 on a 4GB machine.  Once the s/w issues were corrected, the cpu ran a lot cooler.  49C vs 35C

I keep reading about large reserves being found all over the world-the last few years.  I think many have not been tapped yet.  Cars are going electric, and solar is getting quite cheap.  I think the outlook is that there is more than enough oil, considering shifts in demand?

What powers the electric cars?  You can't charge them at night with solar panels.

Watch "Planet of the Humans" on ytube

In Thailand, I'd say not.  52 deaths (who were they mostly), 575 deaths on the highway for April alone.  Pain to the whole country, fear and uncertainty generated to farang.

It would seem Thais are more healthy than aged and health compromised farang.  It would have been better to quarantine the vulnerable, not the whole country.

While the communicable level of the virus is high, mortality rates of infected people have been shown to be very low, even in high density living conditions.

Quarantine and protect the vulnerable, not the general population.

It really is time for non-Thai governments to start reciprocating with equitable  import duties on Thai products. This may convince Thais to be a bit more reasonable than what they are now.

Thais dont make cheese for example , so its not valid to  reason a tax or duty  is needed to protect a local industry.

Thais do make a questionable wine - and that is their argument for what , 230% taxes ?

Theres loads of other things taxed to the max - and it seems the only criteria has to be simply whether farangs like the product more than Thai do.

I looked at a Salsa Dip yesterday at Big C .

The small  jar cost 170 baht , on special from 190.

Im sorry , but $9.50 , or even $8.50 aud for a jar of sauce made from blended tomato , onion and chilli , and costing $1.99 aud back home , is simply having a lend.

you could hire a Thai to make it for you for less.

If it flies, floats or gives a happy ending, its cheaper to rent it.

Maybe if the 5 hours of training was done each month, it might make a dent.

I am in czech rep right now and a great glass of Czech pilsner is around 20BHT!! A glass of wine is about 25BHT. Thais have once again put another nail in the tourist coffin. No one from the west wants to pay 5X more for <deleted> thai lager beer! Idiotic

Only a few lake beaches there.. And you get 4 seasons with snow in the winter

Just a late term abortion.

"Romney was a port in the 700s. When the sea retreated and it could no longer be used for shipping, it died and was replaced by New Romney, which now lies 2 kilometres away from the sea."

 

Meanwhile, Dunwich, in Suffolk has vanished beneath the waves along with several other medieval English ports.  Does this mean that the sea level is rising in Suffolk and falling in Kent?  No, it just means that if you cherry-pick your facts instead of weighing the overall evidence you can 'prove' whatever point you want to prove.

 

Earth's climate is complex and dynamic and is affected by many factors, including the impact of human activities.  The next decade or two should show us definitively how the climate and sea level is changing.

 

BTW, shipping companies are already planning for ice-free arctic summers after 2020.

 

But, this article disputes the models:

and if we're heading for a 30-50 year solar minimum, you might want to buy some blankets for the coming cooling.

Sunspot activity is rapidly falling, so far this year, 27 sunspotless days compared to 32 for all of last year.

Cheapest stable power to allow the poor of Thailand to afford electricity.   Coal fired plants can run with minimal emissions, just have to take care of the fly ash, which is a good additive to concrete.

Price as quoted is pretty accurate.  Usually the street price is highly inflated. Good to keep it honest.

The more intercepted, the higher the price.

How can he say he did not know he run over someone? Look at the state of the windscreen.

It must have woken him up, and he exclaimed, "damn that was a big bug"

a CTRL "+" (hold down the CTRL key, then hit + without the quotes) in most browsers will make the print larger on the screen, i.e. zoom the page.  You can do it several times.  To un-zoom, use CTRL - and a quick way to normal is CTRL 0

Thats a great idea, Cost of one gallon of ethanol from corn is about $10 US per gallon, it also requires about 100 gallons of ground water to produce each gallon. It gets 60% of the Milage that benzine " gasoline" gets. it is very hard on all gaskets and seals in your engine. It is one of the most expensive farm subsidy programs in the USA. The genetics, fertilizer, and chemical companies will be delighted though. All that said do you think they would give the farmers a fair price for the corn if they did do it. If field corn was a viable crop here they could raise beef with it but it isn't so on to the next miracle crop.

I forgot to use the /sarc flag, but you eloquently pointed out what I was hoping others would pick up.

Have the government mandate ethanol in the gas and the farmers could make a little more as the price for imported corn would skyrocket.

Guess which IRS department has been (not) watching the Clinton Foundation?  Lois Lerner's.  No investigations going on, no oversight.

in 2014, the Clinton Foundation raised a boat load of money, but only administrative expenses were used.  How else can one fly from country to country on a private jet, tax free?

No happy ending?

Check you DNS settings..  As an experiment, use 8.8.8.8 which is google's dns.  It might be a DNS server issue.

The notifications are telling you to upgrade various programs mostly for security issues. Ignoring them will increase your chances of a system destroying crypto locker attack or other viruses. Windows upgrades happen frequently nad mo

Interesting article, generally pointing to a prolonged period of stagnation and instability.

when in doubt, rent the models you're interested in for the weekend. Take a nice trip, see how you feel after the ride.

Allows time to test the features, comfort and control placement. And an added feature, particularly if the rental has some miles (km's) on it, how it holds up to worse case usage.
