I'm the only radio amateur in Laos! Here's a link to a great story about how radio hams across the world are using their skills to help to develop a low-cost, open-source ventilator for Covid-19 patients.

Bold Prediction 2.0 --NO crackdown on visa agents in the next 5 years

Jingthing · August 30Aug 30

Here we go 2.0. There has been a torrent of gloom and doom predictions that based on the surprising massive crackdown on foreigners using lawyer directed nominee structures for real estate deals, that it's only logical that a crackdown on visa agents will be next. There is undeniable logic behind that. It can be argued the visa agent schemes are "illegal" or involve "corruption" and all that jazz. I get all that but I'm here to stick my neck out and predict that no matter how logical it sound

Just how dangerous will AI become?

spidermike007 · 10 hours ago10 hr

Many of us feel that the potential dangers of AI far outweigh the benefits. After all you have a technology that was invented by billion Tech Bros who are not exactly known for their nobility or benevolence toward mankind. Can these freaks be trusted? And why should they be trusted with this kind of power? Many founders and experts have been recently discussing the potential ramifications of this technology especially as it applies to regenerative and recursive AI. The current governments do n

riclag · 23 hours ago23 hr

This is what a Democratic Socialist of America (DSA) moment looks like, and every voter should consider it before heading to the ballot box. While families cried and names were read during the 9/11 memorial, NYC Mayor Mamdani and AOC (possible Dem choice for POTUS ) were caught laughing it up in the exact same frame. You can check out how News outlets like CNN frame the clip versus the stark visual reality captured by the NYP. "Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez were seen la

'lastminute' site, yes, but years ago. Booking.com, if booking early, sometimes a cheaper rate. Agoda will sometimes lower the rate nite before, or day of, something B.com rarely does, if anything, raises it at times.

Gosh, you really need some new material. It's either smart arse comments or AI assisted commentary. If that represents what you are about...up to you.

Yellowtail replied to Crossy's topic in General Topics

I can order most anything I want, and have it delivered the next day, occasionally the same day, and most always within a few days, unless it comes from outside Thailand. And if I don't like it, I can send it back. What do we have to moan about? This reminds me of when I got a rental call and caught myself getting annoyed that I had to actually hold the button until the window was all the way down.

Do most AN members here in the Pub dislike each other?

SoCal1990 · 4 hours ago4 hr

Much of what I read here in the Pub seems to be members going at each other. Very few seem to agree on anything. Maybe that does not necessarily translate into actual dislike, but very few people seem to get along. So I started wondering whether that is intentional. Do the majority of people come here looking for an argument, or is it simply that people genuinely have major differences of opinion? And if you can't get along at all, then why bother even showing up here, day in, day out? That bor
