You will get a much worse exchange rate trying to get Baht outside of Thailand. An ATM is fine depending on your bank's fees, just make sure you do not let the ATM do the conversion. You can also bring your home country cash and exchange in Thailand most likely. I don't know what voltage they use in Sweden but Thailand uses 220V. Most modern portable electronic devices like cell phones, laptops, etc are dual voltage and can be used around the world, as long as the plug is the same or you get a plug adapter. You can purchase an e-sim online before you travel to Thailand, or get a tourist sim from a shop in Thailand.Mon, 22 Jun 2026 17:44:52 +0000Hope for what? More social programs to pile on the current budget mess?Mon, 22 Jun 2026 17:39:08 +0000Nothing is impossible. It only takes longer time. If there is will and resources, the technology will come, and people are willing to leave Earth even if they know it will be a one way ticket. For normal people, Mars sounds insane. But pioneers, special soldiers, scientists, engineers, and elite performers do not think from the same frame as normal people. They think from mission, drive, discipline, and what must be solved next. I have read multiple stories about people who are actually training, studying, and hoping to be the first pick for the future crew. There are kids growing up today dreaming of being among the first Mars explorers. Some are already studying, training, building rovers, joining Mars analog missions, and shaping their lives around that dream. Investors also see future potential before normal people see it. If you read Columbus history, exploration did not move forward only because one man had an idea. It also needed people in power and finance who had the drive, hope, and willingness to back something uncertain. Musk does not hesitate the risk for what he believes is the future. There will always be people willing to go if they believe the mission is worth it. So the idea that nobody would go is wrong. Humans have always had explorers who accepted risk before the rest of society understood why, if ever. Progress happens because some people do not stop at impossible or difficult. They see the mountain and start climbing.Mon, 22 Jun 2026 17:36:47 +0000Easy solution. Issue each tourist with dog poo bags except larger. Deft fingers can scoop up the mess with their fingers outside the plastic bag turned inside out, before gently pulling the outside of the bag tight and tying a knot. Conscientious dog owners know what I mean. Oh wait! There's the solution, only let dog owners into the country.Mon, 22 Jun 2026 17:35:44 +0000Big Mike is finally hitting the mainstream, is he? The broadest shoulders to ever grace the White House.Mon, 22 Jun 2026 17:33:57 +0000Mon, 22 Jun 2026 17:29:27 +0000He has nothing better to do than to scour through my post history and post laughing emojis. He is currently at October 2025, as evidenced by the one above and two others in different threads. It is the first time I am dealing with a stalker. It is both amusing and a little creepy.Mon, 22 Jun 2026 17:28:07 +0000The "escimos" the "inuvit" live in an environement with little sunshine. Actually 6 months of the year of the year. No solar vitamin D. Their "prey" must supply them with vitamin D, in form of seals or other living things. Otherwise "Inuits" (the eskimoes) wiold have died out a long time ago due to the lack of vitamin D.Mon, 22 Jun 2026 17:09:00 +0000No doubt. Dollars to donute she's a lesbian. Not that there's anything wrong with that.Mon, 22 Jun 2026 17:02:46 +0000[Opinion. Maybe, just maybe, there’s the tiniest bit of hope for America. Seat-by-seat, a slow process. Pity no one would vote a third-party candidate, has to be King Kong vs Godzilla in every election.] Progressive New Yorker backed by Zohran Mamdani for US Congress targets ‘establishment’ Michael Sainato The Guardian: 22 Jun 2026 Darializa Avila Chevalier is running on universal healthcare, campaign finance reform and abolishing ICE. A progressive Democrat challenging a veteran congressman to represent the party in a closely watched New York race for US Congress has claimed the city has deteriorated on his watch. Darializa Avila Chevalier, one of three allies that New York City’s mayor, Zohran Mamdani, has endorsed in competitive congressional Democratic primaries in the city on Tuesday, is seeking to unseat incumbent Adriano Espaillat in the state’s 13th congressional district.Mon, 22 Jun 2026 17:02:42 +0000And there are millions of contributors and supporters of PACS who disagree with you. Two of the largest are Democrat Party and "Progressive" Pacs. I support campaign financing contribution caps. As long as there are no caps and limits, the potential for abuse will remain for all political interests. Sen. John McCain tried to implement these reforms. he was blocked by multiple interests.Mon, 22 Jun 2026 17:02:25 +0000I will await your erstwhile condemnation the next time such an event is mentioned in the news section.Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:59:26 +0000At least you admit that you are commenting without having read the reports. I give you credit for that. The problem is not "all immigrants". It is specific to a specific demographic, and it is a proven, demonstrable demographic. Even if you do not wish to accept some of the Lowe report conclusions, the government's own multiple reports identified that there were gang rapes and that vulnerable minor were passed from man to man for sexual abuse. This is what a rape gang does,Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:58:36 +0000It must be another "Christian" Mexican named Josh.Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:56:37 +0000Skyscanner also displays a rating for those agentsMon, 22 Jun 2026 16:56:01 +0000Not even that much on the "drug" boats.Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:55:03 +0000Not the dossier, just a press release.Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:53:43 +0000Indeed there is nothing wrong with stating facts that are available in the public domainMon, 22 Jun 2026 16:53:06 +0000Evidence or source please.Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:51:20 +0000got. its not ok to call melania a whore and say trump wants to bang his daughter. guess you will call out that talk from the women hating eurotrash.Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:50:24 +0000All you can here on the news here in the UK is the threat of Reform, and Burnham is the only main runner capable of halting Reform being the next government. Which tells me Farage and reform are a seriouse threat to Labour.Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:48:17 +0000If he realised what he's done to his country, better to just shoot himself. This made me think about how focused we are on US gun violence. Israel--obviously--has a lot of guns. Anybody know how much gun violence there is in Israel. (No, I don't mean the murderous IDF.) I just read that the 52nd Battalion Commander who was erased by Hezbollah in Lebanon was also behind the murder of Hind Rajab--a child pleading for her life. I don't feel much compassion at his death.)Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:47:31 +0000I think you will find more recent studies suggest special plastic double layer walls, with water stored in between two layers of the walls. And then outside the walls only about 1.5 meters of regolith. That's just one of various possible concepts. 6 meters?? Not necessary if other shielding added. Viable engineering approaches include multiple layers for the wall/ceiling, such as ~1.5 meters regolith, then two thin plastic walls separated by about 10cm, with water stored in between the walls in that 10cm separation. And then a final thick plastic layer with embedded metal mesh, and an electric current run through the mesh to create an electric barrier - an electric shield in effect. ... This is just one such idea and there are others - likely superior to that speculation of mine. Sure - one could live 6-meters underground, but why, when there are alternatives? But as i suspect you agree, there are deeper issues. Absolutely not there yet. But serious studying is ongoing to figure this out. For example ... Propellant production (to allow rockets such as a future Starship derivative) to refuel a rocket on Mars is theoretically possible. Propellant production on Mars relies on In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU), which extracts carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and water ice from the subsurface; consequently, landing sites are being carefully selected with local ice accessibility in mind. Through electrolysis, water is split into hydrogen and oxygen; the hydrogen is then combined with carbon dioxide in a type of Sabatier reactor to synthesize methane (CH4). Early Starship missions will likely carry the industrial hardware required to perform this synthesis on-site. This capability to manufacture both fuel and oxidizer (LOX) is one of the reasons why methane was chosen for Starship as part of the propellant, as it enables a closed-loop refueling system for return missions, eliminating the need to haul return propellant from Earth. .... Again , obviously there are other massive factors and very difficult challenges, but this is seriously being examined. As noted less than 6-meters is viable ... still , the distance under ground aside, I think we agree, who would want to live on Mars or on the Moon, which are IMHO ugly places to live compared to earth? Not me. Even if living on the surface with some radiation shielded accommodation, I for one, would not want to live there. It can't possibly (IMHO) compare to earth. I suspect some of the young may find it appealing, but I suspect, IF development continues (and that is a BIG 'if' ), we are over a century away from creating a Martian habitat of suitable structure with facilities, to make such adequate for a self sustaining civilization. One step at a time, I guess.Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:46:31 +0000Don't start bringing leftisms in this Yellowtail please you will only get JB on your case.Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:42:42 +0000Please should lead by example.
