Thailand pass application: the picture of my vaccination qr code isn't recognized by the Thailand pass application website, is it ok if instead I generate the qr code myself based on the link of the qr code on my vaccination certificate?

Thailand's Pavilion at Osaka Expo Faces Backlash for Missing Futuristic Mark

Maha Songkran Splash: Over a Million Revellers Shower Thailand in Cash
Plenty of tossers 365 days of the year. Just not water tossers. Gotta admit, I used the word "tosser" to see if that was one of the British words that's censored here like some other words that aren't in common use in the USA. Most Americans wouldn't know that <deleted> is so dirty... Edit: See? That one IS censored. -

Thailand Successfully Tests Mobile Emergency Alert System Amid Earthquake Wake-Up Call
This was actually announced last year... Though I'm not sure why it took so long for trials to be carried out... 20/20 hindsight could offer criticism that it 'could have' been ready for the March 28th quake.... It possibly took time as individual telecoms companies were fighting to get their own versions out. https://aseannow.com/topic/1321682-thailand-trials-first-mobile-phone-emergency-alert-system/ ough https://aseannow.com/topic/1331505-true-corporation’s-emergency-alert-system-unveiled/ As you question, how could it be useful for an earthquake ? There are different types of waves that hit during an earthquake. P-Waves (Primary Waves) Fastest (6–8 km/s) / Compressional (push-pull motion) First to arrive / Least damaging S-Waves (Secondary Waves) Slower than P-waves (3.5–4.5 km/s) / Side-to-side or up-down motion / More destructive Surface Waves (Love & Rayleigh) Slowest (2–4 km/s) / Travel along Earth’s surface / Most damaging Rolling, rippling, and twisting motion. Given the distance between the epicenter near Mandalay and Bangkok, P-waves would have reached the city in approximately 2.5 to 3 minutes, while S-waves would have arrived around 4.5 to 6 minutes after the earthquake occurred, and Surface Waves approximately 8 minutes. Thus: an alert system would give 'some time' for people to get out of 'high risk buildings' - that said, when buildings are built to withstand a quake, escaping the building is not the recommended course of action due to the risk of falling glass etc - apart from one building, all of Bangkoks buildings survived amicably (none collapsed) - thus staying put was the best option, escaping the riskiest. Written with 20/20 hindsight - as quakes this large are unprecedented in Bangkok and Thailand, no one knew how the buildings in Bangkok might hold up. ---------------- I was in Japan when an 'Emergency alert' went off - I was in a tall building, the alert went off on my phone and watch (loud buzzing) it worked very well even though I was on a Thai Sim (with roaming) - shortly after the alarm the building swayed - I already knew the magnitude of the quake (from the alert), more importantly I knew was what was going on so didn't feel any concern (I think the quake was about a magnitude 6 on the Richter scale - and I knew buildings in Tokyo are built to handle that) ---------------- This alert would have greater impact for Tsunami early warning and would obviously need to be tied into Thailands 'Tsunami early warning systems' - the maintenance of which has been criticised in the past - But, the alert could also be tied to earthquake warmings from nearby faults such as The Sunda fault, offshore Ache (north Sumatra), which caused the 2004 Tsunami. -

Is the Australian election irrelevant?
The social media in Australia has been running hot, it's quite a nasty divisive election actually, possibly the most divisive I've seen since the Whitlam era. In this election we have two very uninteresting and uninspiring leaders. Albo is a boring fart who has spent too much time flying around the world with his girlfriend; and Dutton is a meathead ex QLD copper with zero charisma. It's interesting with Dutton because up until very recently the image projected by him was tough and stern, no nonesense, there were tough things ahead and he was the tough man to deal with them. But they may have overdone it and put people off because the past couple of weeks they're now presenting a softer, warm smiling Dutton, holding hands with his handsome son, and walking around smiling with the Indian community pretending he's not a racist. There's nothing but bad news ahead for Australia regardless of who wins. If ALP then more of the same from them, some of which has been pretty good, and a lot not so good. Dutton will be a disaster in my opinion, he doesn't give a rat's ass about afforable health care, education or arts, if he gets in he'll put as much funding as he can into police, border force, defence, they are the areas he cares about. Control the people, lock up the borders, bring in bigger fines, heavier penalties, more mandatory sentencing, the full force of the law. Once a fascist QLD pig, always a fascist QLD pig. However as we stand today it seems most likely that not only will the unpopular Dutton lose this election, he'll probably lose his seat as well, as there is a swing against him in his electorate, and he only hold his seat by 3000.
