wow. jump from thermodynamics to comparing super-complex meteorology to a known phenomenon that spans over centuries, trying to make a point (maybe? which point?) without any arguments. Manipulative populist drivel. maybe it's time to visit TOP CHAROEN.

"evolution" does not mean the same thing as "apparition of life". Evolution has been observable and is a proven theory, but it doesn't explain everything. And just because science can't explain everything, it's not a reason to turn to sci-fi fantasy.

so you want to make this point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_as_fact_and_theory#Evolution_as_theory_and_fact_in_the_literature I suspect the statements about evolution being a fact were/are made under duress in response to opponents wanting to first discredit the theory to then push their political agenda, manipulating the simple minds with propaganda and religious populism. I guess saying "theory is fact" is a misguided oversimplification to try to reach the "base" and convey the message that many facts support the theory. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_as_fact_and_theory#Evolution_as_a_collection_of_theories_not_fact

Science and scientific theories do get misused for political gain and power though.

yes that is correct.

they should open a command center for the "365 dangerous days"

nothing wrong with big bikes, and nothing wrong with a relatively small minority of big bike riders - sadly. the majority of big bike riders I see drive too fast, too aggressive, have annoying mods on their exhausts that sound like the moto 500cc grand prix when going just 35 kph. last example was today when a group of three came up behind me in the city, drove way too close to me before squeezing me towards a car, forcing me to brake to let the d*ckheads pass. I can only hope nobody else will get hurt when they will likely meet their fate around some pole or against a truck.

national pedophiles must feel relieved !

huh? theory is theory, that's it. for many things, there is just a theory as an explication, sometimes just a single theory, along with "that's the best we could do". I really don't see which hairs you are splitting here. Maybe read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_theory So no, a scientific fact is different from a scientific theory. The words are different and have a different meaning: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fact#In_science So "theory accepted as fact" is not a scientific wording. Maybe you mean a theory that is "widely assumed to be true" and therefore taught in schools. In contrast, things that have zero chances of being true tend to not get taught in science courses.

The theories you mentioned were taught to me as theories. Maybe the problem stems from science sometimes being taught by morons and sometimes being taught to morons ? And when morons teach to morons, such things as flat earthers are born ?

if you think Big Macs are bad in Thailand, I'm curious what you would say about the same in France.

I'm looking for a new office chair. There are quite a few offers on Lazada, some look incredibly cheap for the features offered, but as it looks too good to be true, I'd like to ask the forum if anyone has experience with these cheapish office chairs for 1000 - 2500 baht. Some examples: https://www.lazada.co.th/products/hz-shop-y-type-i676790474-s7388658859.html https://www.lazada.co.th/products/hz-shop-y-type-i676790474-s7388658859.html https://www.lazada.co.th/products/furinbox-i1123344654-s2585072319.html https://www.lazada.co.th/products/erland-modern-style-chair-i2489697602-s8782839414.html features I am looking for include: - tiltable back rest with lock - tiltable seat with lock - adjustable height (of course) - armrests made from plastic - all chair covers made from mesh/fabric (I don't care about head rest or leg rest) Index Living Mall: https://www.indexlivingmall.com/110032248.html not in stock in Pattaya, so no way to try it first, but I'd be happy to read your comments if you have this chair still Index Living Mall: https://www.indexlivingmall.com/370000001.html this one is "Furinbox Cooper", but seems to be available at other places too eager to read about your experiences with cheap office chair - can any be recommended?

Although I manage internet marketing campaigns in Europe, I have never done that in Thailand. I'd like to ask for information about common prices for clicks on Google Ads and Facebook/Instagram ads in Thailand. Can some members provide some information based on their experience please?

Many golfers in Thailand face high per-round costs at their usual courses, while courses with flat yearly membership fees and no additional compulsory cost per round are very rare. Let's put legal aspects aside and think about how many of us would be ready to acquire a membership in such a golf course and for how much. Project cornerstones: - conveniently located at a similar distance from the city as other nearest courses (for Pattaya this would mean within the arc between Burapha/Laem Chabang and Cheechan, following route 331 - other locations in Thailand use your imagination) - minimum 18 holes championship course, not a cheap setup, a good course with good maintenance - optional carts and optional caddies, no per-round fee for members - memberships are perpetual, meaning they don't expire. when the membership holder dies, the membership is inherited - club policies/management priorities/investments set yearly by the member's general assembly Proposed main fee structure for members (theoretically the course should be able to run on minimal maintenance with these fees): - initial memberships fee for fund setup - yearly maintenance fee for members So the question here is not about project costs or feasibility, the question is about how much would a resident golfer in Thailand be ready to pay for a membership ? As an additional question, if you have knowledge about golf course economics in Thailand, could you please comment on costs of building an 18-hole course (without cutting corners), land costs and maintenance costs in Thailand ? Yes, I realize the land cost is very location dependent, but a few ballpark figures would be useful to put things in perspective.

because of Covid I have run out of Zolpidem (Brand name Stilnox / Ambien), which is a fast-acting and very short duration sleeping pill. I have a prescription for Zolpidem, but I can't find a place that dispenses it - does anyone know where in the Pattaya area I could go? Would the newish government hospital on soi Buakhow be worth a try?
