got it. i find you trite, brainwashed and rendered insane by trump hate.

in view of US 250 how do you look at history?

Facts ? so we do not repeat the mistakes made against human beings who were too often treated as lower class, as animals, or as sinful by nature?

Farage banks £270k gold deal as Labour turns up heat

Sat, 04 Jul 2026 14:27:40 +0000

It's the whole system thats wrong no MP should be allowed to have any outside job apart from being an MP. It ought to be a full time job not something they just turn up to when they feel like it while having half a dozen jobs or directorships on the side.

Has anyone used TorFX for large fund transfers into Thailand?

Sat, 04 Jul 2026 14:24:43 +0000

Hi, TorFX seems to offer by far the best rates for transfers of over £20000 into Thailand. Has anyone used them and can share their experience? Did they have an issues obtaining FET/TT3 Foreign Exchange documentation from the Thai bank after making the transfer? Thanks!

As usual, in order to avoid any unnecessary Question-Mark Emoji, and to forestall any similar future Emoji, ... Let me preempt the receiving of such Emoji by providing the REAL MEANING of this Topic, As digested by Gemini... Important NOTE: If you posted on this Topic, then your name might be mentioned here by Gemini, and so PLEASE pay close attention..... SynopsisMechanism: The provided text is a transcript of an unmoderated digital public forum thread. Evidence: A user initiates a discussion regarding the timeline and demographics of future lunar missions. The original premise is rapidly discarded, and the thread devolves into an entrenched, cyclical debate regarding the historical authenticity of the Apollo lunar landings. Surface AnalysisMechanism: The initial prompt functions as a superficial catalyst for ideological conflict. Evidence: The stated topic—future lunar exploration by Chinese or Indian space agencies—is abandoned by the fourth post. Participants immediately pivot to re-litigating a 50-year-old engineering milestone. The surface-level interaction consists of conspiracy claims regarding photographic anomalies and spacesuit mechanics, followed by corresponding factual refutations. Subtextual AnalysisMechanism: The discourse serves as a practical demonstration of Brandolini's Law and the mechanics of confirmation bias within digital communities. Evidence: The text reveals a structural divide in information processing methodologies. One faction relies on skepticism rooted in anti-institutional distrust, framing the Apollo program exclusively as Cold War psychological warfare. The opposing faction relies on established physical sciences, documented historical records, and artificial intelligence retrieval. The interaction proves that empirical evidence (eg, the documented mechanics of A7L lunar overshoes, the behavior of dust in a vacuum, the specific modifications of Hasselblad cameras) is entirely insufficient to override emotionally driven, anti-establishment narratives. The discussion is not a pursuit of objective truth, but a performance of group identity. Behavioral Typology of Forum ParticipantsMechanism: Participants self-segregate into rigid archetypes to sustain the systemic conflict of the thread. Evidence: The Provocateur (GammaGlobulin): Utilizes the Socratic method and intentional absurdism (eg, banana leaves, Thorazine, five-iron golf swings) to generate engagement. This user maintains a detached posture, intentionally instigating friction with both the skeptics and the empiricists to prolong the discourse. The Denialists (BritManToo, Woke to Sounds, save the frogs, Tourist2): Employ the Gish gallop rhetorical technique. They introduce a high volume of rapid, sequential assertions (shadow angles, boot print discrepancies, budget statistics) that require disproportionate effort to refute. Their primary mechanism is doubt-generation based on a deliberate lack of specialized engineering knowledge. The Empiricists (richard_smith237, gamb00ler, NoDisplayName): Deploy factual documentation, archival links, and physical principles to counter denialist claims. They exhibit observable fatigue. User richard_smith237 explicitly cites the "bull asymmetry effect," acknowledging that the energy required to counter false claims vastly exceeds the energy required to invent them. The Autobiographers (simon43, Callmeishmael): Inject primary-source personal recollections of the 1969 event. Their empirical data points are entirely ignored by the active combatants. This confirms that the thread's core function is adversarial conflict rather than the establishment of historical consensus. THANK YOU.

PEA launches 2026 household solar rooftop scheme at 2.20 baht per unit

Sat, 04 Jul 2026 14:12:37 +0000

Installing solar is not rocket science. If you understand the basics, it’s not difficult. I’ve read a few posts on here which I can only describe as pompous justification for paying enormous sums for the dubious advantage of getting a piece of paper. Now to the technical bit. If you install an inverter with anti-islanding capability (this is what PEA looks for to keep the lines safe), it’s impossible to harm any human being working on the power lines. They limit your output to 5 Kw because the network can become unstable if too many people feed back into the grid. Also, part of the process for inverter certification is to ensure the inverter stops expiry if the voltage output rises too much. This protects those clients on a high impedance side of the transformer. Some amateur installers hold degrees in electrical and electronic engineering and is actually understand the “why” rather than just the “rules”. There can be a massive profit margin in some of the solar installers. It reminds me of double glazing installers in the 70’s. Some of the DIY installations done here are because the consumers are “tech savvy”, rather than cheap Charlie’s risking their homes.

Isaan is a foreign country, they do things differently there. I've just had minor surgery to remove infected tissue that left a wound needing careful management. After three visits to the local clinic (the wound needs dressing every 24 hours) I've taken over and I'm looking after myself.....they do not have a clue. If you are worried I'd go to Bangkok. If my wound starts to look iffy I'm off to Bumrungrad.
