Trump on Immigration: "We need a lot of people coming in."
Sometimes, they take an expansive view of things when it suits their purposes. Seasonal fluctuations in milk production? I know nothing about the dairy business. -

Russia Dismisses Proposed Peace Deal from Trump Transition Team
In a democracy you can express your dissent and also create an organized opposition to anything you disagree with the government about. But I don't understand what's wrong with Trump's proposal. Ukraine doesn't have the resources to take back all its lost territory. And for a simple reason: In 2024 Russia lost 420,000 men to gain 4,168 sq km of Ukrainian territory (1,610 sqm), mostly agricultural land, good to grow potatoes. Each square mile of potato fields costed Russia the lives of 260 soldiers (link below). Which other country is so idiotic to sacrifice the lives of 260 young man for each square mile of potato field gained? Only countries where human lives have very little value and are considered expendable cannon fodder, like Russia. But we are lucky: our countries, Ukraine, Europe and the United States, are different and we understand that human lives are our most precious resource. Ukraine, under tan European or American or combined shield, will resurrect stronger, richer and freer than ever. It's what Russia fears the most. Let's make Putin's nightmares real. https://understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-december-31-2024 -

Jeju Air Flight from Bangkok Skids Off Runway at Muan Airport, 28 Dead
No offence, intended, however, I'm struggling to differentiate your comments from random ill informed musing. You've mentioned 'golden rule' as if you are an experienced airman yet your comments betray an extreme level of flawed assumption - particularly the assumption that a water ditching is preferable, its only preferable as a last resort when all other potential safer on-land options have been exhausted. The 737 requires 1500m to 1800m for a regular touch-down - this run ways 1km more than conventionally required. Even 'coming in hot' and landing late, 1.4km of runway is preferable to water and fields. With regards to the actual 'touch down' - for whatever reason, mostly likely due to a hydraulic failure, the flight surfaces were limited - there were no flaps and no leading edge slats deployed, meaning to maintain lift the aircraft required greater speed. At this greater speed, as the air-craft approached the runway the cushion of air; ground effect, prevented touch-down early on. The pilot could not plan for 'ground effect' before the runway as the ground is likely uneven and there is risk of premature touch-down. Thus the touchdown was likely the best that could be performed given the circumstances. No one considered the berm at the end of the runway. This is nothing like aborting a landing of a perfectly good aircraft after V1. Additionally, if there is 'no other option' such as catastrophic power failure, aborting the take off and over-shooting is better than a stall after take-off - thus, your golden rules fail to consider the realities of un-planned and catastrophic event. To suggest 'nothing will be good enough' is a huge error in observation - with a heavily damaged air-craft without flaps, slats and landing gear, and landing on a runway at speed a runway was the only viable option. While there were some failures and there was possible pilot error - the choice to touch down on the runway was not one of them - no one considered the berm-wall at the time and that is the only factor that turned this into a 'mass loss of life' event, when overshooting would likely have been a very survivable event. I am curious why the 'South to North' (initial landing) was aborted and the air-craft went around to approach from the North - perhaps this was to give them more time to set the landing gear manually, during which time cascading failures forced an 'as-is' landing. -

Why some of us did not get COVID symptoms …even though we were exposed.
I am relaxed, your the one that should chill. Replying to people like you that comment to post that are longer than 5 words doesn't constitue not being relaxed. -

Extension OA Retirement based on income
My understanding - but others may know better than me - is that the requirement for a THAI insurance cover no longer exists. -

PAD. Peripheral artery disease.
Who made this diagnosis? As it is not something you can self diagnose, and what you describe (initial leg pain that eases up as you walk) does not sound like it. Buriram hospital (min government hospital in Buriram town) is a Regional level hospital so has specialists, may or may not include a vascular surgeon (which may or may not be what you need). Worth a try. If you have not had a recent test for diabetes (fasting blood sugar or HB1Ac), you certainly should. -

EV Charging Stations (CS)
There was an update on Dec 28th, maybe that resolved your problem ? I haven’t used my wall box since the end of August so have no idea about your problem or if this update will fix it but worth checking ?
